Kelso School Of Music Notes.
Miss Fern Hensey reports a most de-
lightful visit to the capital.
The course by correspondence is prov
ing to be remarkably successful. If the
work increases the services of a per-
manent stenographer will be required.
It has been necessary to adopt the
plan of a Wanting list for school chill
dren as all hours after school have been
filled for some time past.
The recital given by Miss Cooper Gil
lespie last evening was one of excel
lence. Variety was given to the pro-
gram by the assistance of Miss Fan
ME Leighton, violinist, and Mr. Byron
Rowlee, Jr., vocalist Miss Gillespie's
playing gave eevidence of thorough, in
telligent training and careful practice.
Possessing a dainty musical touch and
fluent technic she plays with a grace
and naturalness that is charming.
Miss Leighton is a highly interesting
young violinist with marked ability. She
plays with a buoyancy of spirit that in
dividualizes her work and proved very
entertaining.
Mr.. Rowlee Is a very young singer but
his high baritone voice Is sweet in quail
ity and he already sings with intelli-
gence, although having studied less than
six months with Mrs. S. W. Shattuck, Jr.
The ensemble was fine. the execution
clear and brilliant. the Interpretation
intelligently interesting.
The plaudits evoked by the meritorious
rendering of the following program>made
it obvious that the selections, as well as
the efforts of those participating were
undoubtedly appreciated.

ROBERT DOWNING
This is what the Oakland (Cal) Times
says OF In Arkansaw:"
Last night was great night at the
Dewey theatre. The initial production OF
the new play, I'm Arkansaw." met with
success unprecedented in the history of
the house beyond all expectation Gin
Arkansaw'' run for three solid weeks at
the Dewey. Though tragedy is a long
ways from comedy and Mr.. Downing is
known the country over as a gladiator.
it is not generally known that he made
his first great success in comedy. and a
great many of his friends claim that he
is better comedian than tragedian and
it begins to look that way. for his new
comedy drama, I'm Arkansaw," he is not
only making a tremendous success, but
packing houses everywhere. He will ap-
pear at the Crawford Grand on Monday
evening. February 9.

LITTLE oUTCAST
Two good houses witnessed the first
performance of Little .Outcast'' In this
city at the Crawford yesterday after
noon and last night and every soul in the
house thoroughly enjoyed the perform
ance which were really one Of the incest
and finished productions ever given in
this city.
Like all of the Carpenter plays. this one
is built on the spectacular order with
enough of story Of humor and pathos
TO keep the people interested The story
is well told one. and the players do
their parts WELL The Little Outcast is a
street arab In New York and the clever
story OF his haps and mishaps is some
thing that would interest the most hard
hearted person and when told by clever
people. surrounded with handsome and
picturesque stage settings. IL is a play
that catches and holds the attention.
Bob. The Outcast, played by Miss May
Stockton. is the one around which the
story moves Miss Stockton is a clever
woman and her portrayal or the part
ELECTED much commentator from the
Gus. pathetic and original manner the
story of the boy whose heart is right, but
circumstances prevent him from show
ing at all times how he feels.
D. NJ. Henderson who takes the part of
Thos. Quinne. the lawyer, who likes hop
too well. is another of the best char
acters in the play. The second act where
Quinne comes into the opium joint, crazed
with the drug, is one OF the strong situ-
atoms. and is we'll handled by Mr.. Hen
derson.
Ping Loo. the Chinese waiter in the
opium joint, is handled very nicely by
Alvin Carter
Everyone of the cast is adequate TO the
parts they have and they give a finished
performance.
The scenery of the play is on the spec
tacular order. The stage pictures are very
beautiful. The scene in the opium joint
and the docks off the battery are two of
thebest scenes ever given on Wichita
stage. The World building and other
great structures of Park Row at night
with the electrical effects is something
original and realistic on the stage.

Growth Of our Lansuaee.

To give some Idea Of the tremendous
growth of the English language.it may
be mentioned that the words and
phrases under the letter ga" have in
creased since the middle of the nine
teenth century from 1000 to nearly
10000. So enormous Indeed has been
the growth OF the English Language
that it would be practically impossible
for the most learned man to be ac-
quainted with every word. Intelligent
persons, even those engaged in the
learned professions, do not make use
of more than from 6.ooo to 5000 words
all told, although there are properly
belonging to our Language over 200. 600.

900 men within the fort, but failed to
REINFORCE them. In 1926 1t was In the
mind of ministers to give back the
rock to Spain, but SO great an agita-
ton arose against such step that 1t
was abandoned. There followed a
siege by Spain and France, which last
ed from 1927 to 1888. on Sept ID,
1852, no fewer than 10000 men con.
stituted the besieging army, and In the
grand attack delivered on that day 200
heavy guns, AZ ships of the line and 10
battering ships were employed, and
upward OF 5000 red hot shots were
fired at the Qualifications. Since then
the possession OF Gibraltar has re

FORCING the pace.

George Gordon, an old Scotclman Of
misery habits, was dying, A neighbor
who was on friendly terms with the
old mans relatives agreed to call on
the minister and beg him to try to
induce the old fellow TO make will.
The minister consented and at length
persuaded the miser to allow a lawyer
to be sent for.
By the time he arrived the old man
was rapidly sinking, but the VIII was
smartly drawn up and duly awaited his
signature. He was propped up in bed
and managed to write George Cor.
Then he fell back exhausted.

The chef was ignorant of the pres

him critically, while sunny smile
danced gayly over his dimpled fea:
lures. Suddenly the chef became aware
of his presence and said as he most
artistically salaamed:
II would have your majesty know
that have just created formula for

And what may it be2" asked the
monarch impatiently. II never was an
expert in the art OF guessing, and l

TAE long .TAILEp TRoeoN
= Most Gorseou. BIRD Is the Ma


tionaI EmbIem OF Guatemala.
BY far the most interesting bird EN-
blem OF a modern state Is that of the
republic OF Guatemala. 1t has been
adopted as the national crest for so
long that. partly through the taste for
stamp collecting. the existence OF one
Of the rarest and most beautiful of the
bird creation has been made far more
widely known than It otherwise would
have been. There is race of birds
called trogons, most OF which have
very fine feathers and remarkable col
oring. They are found in India and
the Malays, but are most numerous in
Central and South America. 1t was
from their pinmage that the Mexicans
made their famous mosaics of feather
work. From the tail feathers they
made the lustrous green helmets of
their kings andSnobles. The most gor-
geous of all was the long tailed or re-
splendent trogon, which was kept as a
sacred or royal bird In the palace of
Montezuma or in one of the two houses
which formed the royal menageries.
Adequate descript don of the bird is al
most impossible. 1t has rounded
plume ON the head, cascades of feath-
ers falling from the back over the
shoulders, plumes falling over the tan
yard long and a most elegant con.
tour. The color. of the whole of the
upper surface and plumes is most re.
splendent golden green, that of the
breast and under parts crimson or scar
let. Such lis the national emblem of
Guatemala.
