My text this morning is to be found in
the XIV chapter of Matthew and the 25th
verse. "And l was afraid and went and hid
my talent In the earth" And as a sub
sidiary text the following lines from Rabbi
Ben Ezra. by Robert Browning:
Yet gifts should prove their use:
l own the Past profuse
OF power each side. perfection every
Eyes. ears took in their dole,
Brain treasured up the whole;
Should not the heart beat once. How

The ecclesiastical style grows more and
more upon me, and / have been asked
whether the musical column Of The Bee
were to be considered as sermons OF SER
monettes. My reply is that In these days
OF pulpit editorials It may be legitimate
to use press preaehments."
The subject this week was suggested to
me by a young musician Of talent. who
lives-no matter where she lives. 1 have
known her for some time and I have al
ways known that she was a good
singer. but only last week dld / discover
that she had that unusual gift which SO

How many people there are in the world
who do not realize the Importance Of de-
veloping a talent which Is entrusted to
their ARE for development. There is a
tendency to feel how very much we could
do did We have the talents Of someone else.
There Is a tendency to feel that '1f / could
dwell where Israfeli dwelt'' things might
be different.
We hear much Of calls to the ministry
and the opinion has somehow or other
grown that there Is only one kind Of call
and that is a call to preaching In the pull

the performer and the date for which they
wanted the seats. They all had their
money ready and In most cases the exact
amount counted out. There was no quib-
bling about the price OF no questions asked
as to whether the seats that were given
them we're on the aisle, behind a post, too
far back. too close TO the front, OF In fact
none Of the dozen and one questions that
are fired at the box once man by the ma
jority Of the regular theater-goers all Of
which he must answer In some way or an
other before a sale IL made. They wanted
to hear Kubelik play the violin. they we're
willing to pay the price asked and they
were not concerned whether the manage
ment was going to clear $1,000 or Is cents
on the venture, neither did they force me
to submit to a TRADE Of abuse regarding
the advance Of prices or their opinion Of
the star. They stated plainly what they
wanted. paid their money for 1t and were
on their way In less time than II takes to
tell II. Within two hours after the sale
opened there was less than fifty seats on
the first floor unsold and nearly all Of the
balcony seats we're gone by noon. At 3
o'clock In the afternoon the seats we're
practically all sold and delivered, and a sale
that gave me less trouble than any.I have
ever conducted was over. There were no
requests made to lay seats aside until the
prospective purchaser could fully decide
whether he or she cared to attend the per-
Torrance or not. II all Of the seat buyers
were like the ones that went to hear ku-
belik the box office mans life would be
a path Of roses instead of one Of thorns,
as II really is."
Another remarkable thing about the pur-
chasers of Kubelik seats is that'but very
few of them could be induced to part with
their seats after they had secured them,
even at an advance upon the purchase
price. BY the middle OF last week, when
It was known that there were no seats to
be had, the regular patrons Of good musical
events commenced to look for seats at any
price and by Friday night they were COM
manding a premium Of 100 per cent, with
few on the market at that. A number Of
spectators, who did not forsee the great
demand there would be for seats until too
late to ptrchase them at the box Office,
made q house-to-house canvass in what Is
known as Bohemian town. Offering those
who they found with seats for the Kubelik
concert from 81 to 81 advance on the pur-
chase price of each seat. but to no avail.
The purchasers had bought their seats with
the intention OF hearing the great violinist
and they were not to be shaken In their
purpose by the offer Of a little pecuniary
profit. A few of them had been wise enough
to purchase extra seats and they reaped a
harvest. One pair Of seats, the original
cost Of which was "a. is known to have sold
for $40.

RUMORS AFLOAT.
Effecting the Proposed Purchase and
Sale of PROPERTY.

There are a number of rumors in
circulation in regard to the final dis
position Of the Model corner. One is to
the effect that NJ. N. Leland of Wells
and a we'll known local gentleman of
means have offered D. S. Stern $3S, 900
for the property and that the offer has
been refused. 1t is said that the gen.
tlemen had intended to start large
retail dry goods store. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Stern some time ago held the
property at 500, 060.
Joseph Ruerup's lease expires in an
other year, and he has not been able to
secure assurances of renewal of the
lease, owing to negotiations for the
sale of the building, as he believes.
Mr.. Hauck, the candy man, is look
ing about for new location in the
event that his present building should
be torn down to make room for the
proposed addition to the building.
1t is rumored that II. E. Hance has
made approaches for the purchase of
certain Front street hotel property,
but that the owuer placed too steep
a price upon his realty.
Nothing has been settled yet, and
the parties most interested have nc
news to give out.
