HIGH SALARIES OF SINGERS.

Heinrich Conried Tells Amusing Story
in This Connection.
Heinrich Conried, who has had so
much difficulty in arranging the sal
aries of his artists that he declares
their engagement to be the most diff
cult part of the work OF putting on
grand opera, has an explanation for
the origin of the exorbitant prices de-
manded by: foreign singers when
America is mentioned to them. A
number of years ago he was in Europe
engaging artists for his comic opera
company. He offered certain singer
$500 a week to come with him to
America. The singer had been used
to getting about third of that sum
and was on the point of accepting
when he was approached by Anton
Seidl and asked his price. He at once
demanded $500 and. finally COM
promised on $3.50. When he came to
read the. contract he found that, after
the American fashion. he had been
signed for $3.50 a performance and
not for that amount per week. Fear
ing that Mr.. Seidl might change his
mind and try to break the contract
he took the first boat for New York
and was on the ground two months
before the opening of the season.

Down On the Farm.

When fiercely smites the brazen sky,
And pavements parched, and scorching
lie,
'Tis then the countryside invokes
Its pilgrimage of "city folks.''
The locust, through the golden days,
His strident hurdygurdy plays;
The fireflies furnish through the nights,
Their myriad electric lights.
The fow'rs that deck the meadows DER
Eclipse the gayest milliner store;
They're wholly free to all who pass
No copper yells "Git aft the grass!'
The COWS that mid the pastures walk
Are fed on buttercups, not chalk!
No gong they ring, but gently moo.
The milk they serve is white, not blue
Here winds no plodding caravan
With hail "Fre-e-esh fish, ''Banan' be

But hens strut forth on sturdy legs
And kindly cackle, Eggs! Fresh eggsi''

Ellsworth. What I blame him for
Is the fact that when he was trying
to persuade that girl to marry him
on the sly he was engaged to some
one else.'
Mrs. Ellsworth's eyes opened wide,
then narrowed ominously. "He vast"
she cried. How do you know that?"
1T is easily figured out. That took
place in the late summer of 1900"

Ellsworth stood up and looked at
her fixedly. "Prove?" he echoed. 1T

credited him with. I've never said

short, l know you were engaged to
him at that very time, and I-oh, hang

don't so much mind your having been
engaged to him-a fellow expects a
girl to figure in two or three little
affairs Of that kind before she finally
settles down with the right one now

about to play you mean trick and go
off and make love to some other girl

were million times too good for him.
and when I think of the way he was
about to play you false I could wiring

Mrs. Ellsworth spread her hands be-
fore her face and peeped at her hus.

''Oh, Tom,' she said, what a great
big goose you are. And what a good
fellow into the bargain. When you
began that story I thought you knew
what you were talking about, but it
seems you didn't. I never meant to
tell you, but can't help myself now.
Mr.. Gridley wasn't engaged to any,
body else at all-at least, I don't think
he was. I was the girl he tried to
marry, and if it hadn't been for that

The revelations took Ellsworths
breath away for few minutes
"Well," he said, when he finally got
it back, ''he came nearer getting you

BRAVERY OF AMERICAN SAILOR.
Hero of One of Most Notable Deeds

Ever Performed.
What threatened to be one of the
worst disasters in the history of ship.
ping was the burning Of the Ocean
Monarch. The fire was discovered in
her fore hold an hour or two only af.
ter she left the Mersey. There was
strong breeze and she was headed for
the Welsh coast.
By some unlucky accident an anchor
was dropped and the big ship was
brought up all standing, head to the
wind. The flames came roaring aft,
where 600 passengers and crew were
crowded.
A Brazilian frigate, a yacht and a
pilot boat were near, but they only
attempted to pick up those who
jumped and swan. Suddenly up came
an American clipper, and rounded into
the wind barely 200 yards away. In
her first boat was Frederick Jerome,
only an able seaman, but one of the
bravest seamen that ever lived. In a
flash his boat was alongside the burn
ing ship and he climbed on deck amid
the scorch and smother. There he
stayed until the last soul of 600 was
saved. His clothes were on fire seven
separate times, and he was scorched
almost beyond recognition.-Ex,

the old fsherman's warning, he was
not at first worried over the prospect
of any danger to Nellie, as the bay
was small and she had often-too
often, in fact-proved her ability to
sail her boat without his assistance.
But suddenly the clouds which had
been scurrying across, the sky in de-
tached sections seemed to unite into
one big, black cloud, which covered
the horizon to the east. There was
perceptible drop in the temperature.
For few moments the wind seemed
to die away. But the lull was only
temporary. Then, with an unlocked
for suddenness, the squall which the
fisherman had predicted came sweep
ing in from the seas.
Nellie had allowed her boat to sail
out almost to the entrance of the bay
before she recognized her danger.
Then she turned and began to run for
the wharf. But it was too late. The
first gusts from the coming squall

was running swiftly and aimlessly be-

The people on shore saw her danger
and haste was made to get out one of
the big sail boats. but this was
work of time, and now seconds were
precious. Long before the larger boat
was ready Jack Hastings ran down to
the end of the wharf, united a little
dory, threw in pair of oars, and was
pulling toward Nellies boat at the top
of his speed.
A dory will ride the waves in any

stroke. But the wind was rising, the
waves growing rougher and rougher,
and each instant Nelli~'s boat grew
more and more unmanageable.

Cupid Versus Neptune

Judging simply from appearance, a
person would have said that Nellie At
kinson was both a pretty and kind
hearted girl. Yet she took delight in
making Jack Hastings unhappy.
Which was certainly a piece OF un-
warranted cruelty, for Jack was big,
athletic, good to look upon and, in
addition, thought the sun rose and
set simply for the benefit of Nellie.
But Jack had one misfortune, and
for man who is anxious to share the
amusements Of pretty girl at sea-
side resort it was a serious one. NO
one could row better than he on
smooth river or an inland lake. In fact,
he had been stroke for two years on
his college crew. But to venture on
the water when the least swell was
coming in from the ocean made him
deadly seasick. And Nellie, instead Of
giving him the sympathy to which he
was clearly entitled, was strongly in
clired to tease him over his inability
to sail boat in comfort even in the
bay which ran out from tie beach.
On this particular morning; Nellie,
a charming picture of pretty girl in
yachting costume and cap, was stand
ing at the end of the wharf. At one
side of the wharf was moOred her lit
tie sailboat. A good breeze was blow
ing in from the ocean, making it de-
lightful morning for SAIL although a
few clouds lying low on the horizon
gave a. hint of unplea"a weather to
come.
Help me to fix up the sail, please,
Jack" said Nellie, with an air of great
cheerfulness, "and then we can take
a run out into the bay. There's love-
ly swell on this morning."
Jack helped hoist the sail, but he
didn't seem to share Nellie's cheerful
ness over "the lovely swell"
"Instead of sailing, wouldn't it be
a nice morning for walk in the
woods or spin on my machlne?" he
suggested, with a timidity which was
really disgraceful in such big, strong
man.
Nellie loked at him with an air OF
the greatest coldness. How was Jack.
a mere man, to know that half of the
celdness was assumed?
Every well" she said severely. If
you don't care to go when l invite you
I will go alone. I'm sCrry you consider
it such bore to sail with me-
This was as rank Injustice as any
one, even a pretty girl, could be
guilty of. Nellie knew that nothing de-
lighted Jack more than to be with her
She also knew that tie sole reason for
his reluctance to sailing was the cer-
tainty that he would be seasick. In
vain Jack tried to explain matters, to

hours to him, but in reality it was only
minutes, and short ones, before the
dory reached the side of the sailboat.
Then Nellie dropped the tiller, crept
to the side of her boat, and a moment
later was safe in the dory. It was,
time. A sudden gust struck the little
sailboat, it lurched to one side, and
then careened completely over. But
the storm had lost it's victim.
When the wharf was reached will
ing hands lifted Nellie to safety. She
was none the worse for her perilous
experiment. When Jack clambered up
on the wharf she gave him a look
different from those with which she
was in the habit of favoring him. Then
a little CLEAN of fun came into her
eyes.
What do you think of man." she
asked with assumed sternness, "who
tells girl that it makes him sick to
go on the water and then can row q
little dory through a raging squall?"
Jack gave little gasp of honest sur
prise.
''Why, I never thought of that" he
replied. Guess was so wrapped up
trying to get to you before your boat
went down that I didn't think of sea-
sickness"
