saw him it will recall the famous white
lock which stood out SO conspicuously
from the mass of his black hair. 1t

the harmonious point of view, to devel-

One day when Dorothy Menpes, daugh-

Mortimer Menpes, was a baby and was
asleep on her pillow, Whistler went to
see her. A white feather hau by chance
settled on her head and lay in spot
exactly corresponding with the white
lock ON his own head. THAT child is
going to develop into something great"

goes, there was introduced a new
hymn, and after the dismissal of the
services the organ blower found his
way to the players bench and asked in
a meek voice. How did the music for
that new hymn go this EVENING""
"Oh, very well; very well, indeed"
replied the organist. But why do you
ask?"
"Well," said the blower, "I'll tell you

went ON explaining. "Ienever blowed

HOW A TREE is MURDERED
Some Growths Are Exceedingly Diff
cult to Destroy These Days.


A gentleman OF means living in a
suburban town tells how his mother
once undertook TO murder cherry
tree. II was a boy at the ttme," he
said "The tree stood on our lawn.
1t had been planted by my father, and
he loved 1t with a parental affection;
but ii was an eyesore to my mother,
for she thought it spoiled the looks
of the garden.
"She decided to murder 1t secretly
because she knew that my father
would never consent to Its removal.
For long time she pondeged, asking
herself how she might kill the tree
without being detected, and finally she
decided that She would use for her
weapon boiling water, Accordingly
whenever my father was away she
would get kettle, and, tiptoelng out
to the tree with n guilty look. she
would pour boiling water upon its
roots.
"At first the tree showed no change
under this treatment. After a time,
though. a change began to manifest
Itself. My father noticed 1t.
by joye, he said, my cherry tree
seems unusually fine and hearty.
And this was fact The more
boiling water my mother poured on
tbe roots the more the tree thriyed and
aourished. Finally. in despair, she
cave up trying to commit her yeget-
able murder.
"a florist, to whom she narrated this
strange story one day, laughed when
he heard 1t. He said 1t was no Won
der the tree had gotten along 50 well,

Tenn PTATION OF

While thus cogitating on the best
course 10 take there was slight click
in the farther corner, and Strong
guessed what had happened by the rep
eution of the appreciatiye grunt-the
uoor of the strongroom was open.
Al last Strong's mind was made up,
all his nerve returned, and he was as
cool and calm as ever.
Very slowly and silently his hand
crept up to the little brass knob above
his head, there WAS a sharp click, and
the next moment the room was flooded
with brilliant light.
The intruder was so taken aback by
the suddenness of the act that for a
moment he seemed glued to the spot,
and could only stare yacantly at the
binding light That moment Strong
was upon him like a tiger, and, hit
ting him cleanly between the eyes, sent
him reeling into the strongroom, there
to fall with duh thud ON the hard
iron floor. Like lightning the door
slammed to, the skeleton key turned
in the lock- and the bolt shot home
Strong stood for a minute dazed and
trembling, listening to the duh thuds
and oaths proceeding from the room,
then fell fainting 10 the ground. The
excitement of the past ten minutes had
been too much for an overworked con.
stitution.
When Strong opened his eyes he was
no longer lying on the office floor, but
on the comfortable sofa in the direct
or's office, with that worthy leaning
over him, anxiety written on every fea-
ture.

the astonished Mr.. Brown, and then,
helped by several sips at glass Of
water, Strong recounted all the mys-
terlous events of the previous night.
Mr. Brown would now trust Strong
with his very life, but little does he
imagine how near his money was TO

Best Ever is Opinion and Many New
 Haveners To Take Part.
 The Orange fair that will be held this week promises to be better than ever, and every preparation has been made to provide for a round of entertainment that will repay visitors for their jour ney to the pleasant town where this autumn celebration has been held so many years. The fair will be open on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, Sep tember 16, F and IS. Several New Ha- ven people will have exhibits and the Consolidated railroad will offer special rates for travellers to the fair.
 Probably the most widely mentioned feature of the fair is the great floral parade but this is only one of the many entertainments that will be offered this year. In the parade will be beautifully decorated automobiles, bicycles, car riages, baby carriages and in fact near ly every sort of rolling stock. The la dies of the town have spent much time in making artificial flowers. but some of the carriages will be oyerlaid with fresh golden rod, typical of the season.
 First class entries for the horse races have been reported and good sport. is expected. Dr. E. c. Ross of New Ha- ven will act as starter and will assured ly give satisfaction.
 Among the stock exhibits will be reg istered Jersey cattle from the Fairlea farm of Orange, owned by Wilson H. Lee ot New Haven.
 Governor Chamberlain, N. D. Sperry and other officials are invited to attend and will probably respond.
 The governing board of directors who are looking after the success of the fair is made up of the following gentlemen:

 conception. Not so in the music by Creatore With him there is helm during every storm, science under every cyclone.
 Something like awe grows out of the difference one must feel for genius, so rounded in quality. that the marvellous result attained is but hals the wonder. creatore has passion for perfection in detail, and power of insistence up- i on it in rehearsal, which is rare even in the markers of the dead perfection We are accustomed to admire in music. He would lose an engagement and suffer any material loss rather than attempt to perform that which had not been brought to the highest point of perfec- tion according to his mind, He fairly "sandpapers" every note, is severe up- on himself as upon his men, persist up- on resning and polishing after the re- Guired standard has been reached. in order to insure against all possible de- fault of mood. accident or temporary weakness of any kind.
