intense force and clearness in every mans
life. Mine was the one which followed the

crime they deplored. l felt myself under
the same fascination. I wanted to test the

PAEAN ON THE BURRO.
Philadelphia Writer Finds Much Good
In the Little Beasts.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Carrying whisky on steep mountain sides
from cabin to cabin, transporting lumber to
points where railways are out OF the ques-
ton, trudging to the secluded mines laden
with picks and shovels-such Is the life of
the mountain burro. A few of them have
dwelt under the shelter of the stables of the

Rether away from the sunlight, but for the
most part the burros are residents OF the
fast-developing west.
lust how much credit man is willing to
grant the burro for the western develop
ment depends somewhat on the man. The
humble burro, like the mule, has been ac-
corded too many kicks and cuffs and heavy
loads from time immemorable. In early
days the ass is given credit for more intel
lieence than the horse, and 1t has long been
commended that the mules Intelligence has

Denver, burros are to be found in large
numbers-in fact, in all the western states
where mountains exist and mining is car
ried on.
In the west the burro may be bought as
low as S. The majority of them bring not
less than SO or SIS. In the localities where
they are extensively used one man may be
found with 100 Of them at his command.
Burros vary in color. as they also do in
weight They may be found weighing LOO

HOGAN HAS SPEED

He Played with Brilliant AS
Surance, and is a Mus.
Culdr Genius.

Barring the outlandish name Of Jeroslay
kocian. young man. more comely than
his name stepped bravely out upon the
stage of the Academy last night and
fddled away. with a huge plano behind
him and a curious and enthusiastic au-
dience facing, him.
He played with brilliant assurance but
sometimes with small, penetrating
tone, the result OF too rapid tempt and
cocksure spirit. which, admirable
though 1t may be In matters political. Is
rather dangerous quality in the sphere
Of art
Kocian is a virtuoso-a young man
with agile fingers, a bouncing bow. and
a positive muscular genius. He plays
double'note trlls In harmonics. making
his instrument keen like banshee wall,
Any Celt will tell YOU how excrutiat-
ingly mournful are these piercing high
notes-and he can play two different
tunes at once. his left hand picking
pizzcati that almost sting the ear and
alright the nerves.
Ole Bull had fine technical equipment
in his youth. as remarkable as koclan.s.
He was not a classic player. but even as
a very old man his tone reached the
heart swiftly He was all emotion.
Kocian has speed and steam, naught
else. He Is as emotional as a clouded
cane.
