The Patti Program.

AT her local. recital next Wednes-
day, Nine. Patti will select from
among the familiar .arias of the Ital-
ian and French school of bel canto
the aria "Voi che ,Sapite" (Mozart's
lie Nozze di Figaro), and. the. Jewel
Song from Faust OF these, the
first is especially suited to display, her
marvellous coloratura singing, while
the second is one of the most beauti-
full lyrics known. TO music.
For those who are not connoisseurs
of music, Nine. Patti will undoubted-
ly be. called upon to sing some of the
old favorites with which her name is
inseparably connected, such as Robin
Adair' and the sSuWanee River" 1t
will be strange indeed if she is not
recalled many times. Thus far dur
ing her tour she has been recalled
and RECALLED until she has responded
with the familiar and dearly loved
lyrics of America, those simple songs
that have brought tears the eyes
Of her hearers ana filled their hearts
with emotion.

cert has suggested that the Interna-
tional auditoriunls may be filed. The
attendance from outside of the twir

A Crib" in Japanese.
The methods employed by ''cribbers'
at the local institution are as various as
they are ingenious. Perhaps one Of the
most ingenious "cribs" which was ever
prepared was that which Sakigami, the
Japanese football trainer, attempted tc
use while taking a history examination
"Saki'' had been detected several times
in the use Of questionable tactics in ex-
aminations, and when the history profess
sor had given out the questions he
i watched the oriental scholar closely. The
latter was evidently not aware that he
was being observed. At any rate, he :a.p-
piled himself very closely. to a carefully
rolled sheet of legal cap paper which he
drew from his pocket. The instructor
saw the move and after he had satisfied
himself that 'Saki' was using "crib, "
he cautiously approached the latter and
confiscated the paper To his amazemen1
he found it covered with Japanese char
acters-a very good reproduction Of an

and my plum pudding. The turkey
arrived too late to be cooked that
day, so we laid it aside, intending to
eat it later. However, we had not
provided for a contingency that arose
and consequently none of us tasted of
that bird. It seems that the marriage
Of MI. Pettijohn and Miss Prescott
was to occur on the last night Of the
year and it happened that Prescott
knew Of the presence Of that turkey
In our shanty. About a day before the
ceremony he sent up and asked as a
special favor if We could not let him
have the bird to serve up at the we'd
ding supper. He was a good fellow
and had done us many favors, SO we
told him of course he could have It,,
and the bird went, down to the fort
and was eaten by the wedding guests.
Given at this late day,s-I can re-
member. the heroic sacrifice we made
in presenting that bird to Mr.. Pres
colt. (, Turkeys were scarcer then
than they are even now when they are
reported to be very high, and it was a
| long time before any of us ever had
another one In our possession. I do
not think there was ever a nicer tur-
key bred than the one we sent to Pet
| tijohn's wedding"

'"They and their art both are doing

One cannot help wondering, how
ever, whether these musical gifts are
of any real significance as compared
to the astounding precocity in early
youth of men like John Stuart Mill,
Hugo Grotius. Phillip Melanchthon
and Torquato Tasso. And what shall
one say of a Christian Heineken (born
in Lubbock, Germany, 172D who in
his fifteenth month began the study
of history, at three years had learned
Italian and at four knew from mem
ory the five books of Moses. And then
there was the uncanny Bavatier who
learned to read in his third year,
spoke three languages in his fifth,
and at eight read the Bible in He
brew! These boys died young, but it
is a question whether their accomA
plishments did not count more than
all the juvenile piano and fiddle play
ing in the world. After all, music is
an abstract gift, and has not too much
to do with learning.

is for voice, one for the piano and the
