claimed without waiting to finish the pas

to the top of the piano. Here's a waltz

ado. she plunged into the melody of a
dreamy composition and liked it so well that
she played and sang most of it. Then she
tried comic song which she declared was
great" a minstrel ballad which she
labeled mo good" and another coon song
which she pronounced rotten" And after
having run over" all of the pieces which
she had carried to the piano, she bounced

songs which she had selected as the best

"An songs look alike to her-so far as

know. She looks after herself and has a

This last query was directed toward a 1T

entered the store while the clerk was speak

old romance, Alice, Wnere ART 1hou'
Yesterday afternoon a rustic-looking EEL
low bashfully inquired If there was a bal
lad by the title of In Snoopy Corner. He
meant In a Cozy Corner of course, and
perhaps he wasn't so far wrong, after all.
I usually manage to deduce. in the long
run, the titles of the pieces that are sought,
no matter how badly mixed up my Gus
toners may be, but was completely foored
on one occasion, three or four years ago,
when a young man wanted to buy song
which he said was called Willie on the
Rock Now, whoever heard of song with
such a title as that? 1 told him that there
was no such song on the market. but ne
protested that there was-and that 1t was
a famous song, too. The only thing that
/ could think of, having title in the least
like it. was a comic ditty called Willie or
the Yacht which was at that time being
sung in the vaudeville and burlesque the
aters-a sort of satire on dude yachtsmen.
"Well, I brought forth this piece and
showed it to my customer, but he looked
IL over with scorn in his eyes and said
that l must be crazy. What he wanted
was & romantic song, he said-not an idiotic
thing like that. L never heard of a ro-
mantle song with Willie in it, told him.
We'll. you never mind about the Willie he
said, becoming little huffy. may possibly
be a little mistaken about the mans name.
l suppose il was William the Rock
that was the title of the song 1 laughed
outright, and he got mad then. He said
that he had never yet been able to buy
any piece of music that he wanted in this
store, and that he would go to some store
oh
music business. And after giving me good
blowing up he took his departure. That
was my one defeat, but it was a defeat
that was changed into victory in the end.
He came back a few days later and, waiting
until 1 was busily engaged with another
customer, he came up TO the counter and
| secured what he wanted of one of the other
clerks. He had found out the correct title
OF the song. but his pride wouldn't allow
| him TO admit to me what ridiculous blum
der he had made. And what do you sup

| Just goes to show what curious ideas some
people have about musical compositions.
! That fellow saw nothing incongruous in the
introduction of Willie into a romantic COM
| position"
The clerk was beginning to relate another
| interesting experience when he was inter
rupted by the appearance on the scene OF
very pretty and very self-confdent young
woman, fashionably gowned in the most ex-
| IRENE style and radiant with the JOY OF
living. The clerk barely had time to say
under his breath, Look out for q lively

@NE of the most important organ

of the Eastern Star. whose MEM
tH&A bership includes many thousands
of women in the United States
and abroad. The order is not, as are most
womens orders. an auxiliary to the mems
order, but is independent in its workings.
All it's members, however. must be Masons
or relatives of Masons, so that the order
has an established relation with the Mason

all looking toward the same end. Within
ten years a large number of chapters OF the
order had been formed, and Grand Chap
ters had been established in fourteen
States. In 1876 the necessity for forming a
Supreme Chapter, to which the Grand
Chapters of the several States should be
subject, was felt and the Grand Chapter
of Indiana extended an invitation TO the
other Grand Chapters to meet in this city
to form such an organization. The confer
ence was held in Nov. 1876 and at that time
a constitution was adopted and a ritual
committee appointed. The ritual prepared
by this committee was adopted in 1878.
Since the organization of the General
Grand Chapter the growth of the order

G. E. Burgess. one of the stockhold-

company, seeks to have the affairs Of
the corporation wound up and a re-

the telephone line has been converted
into telegraph line almost to an ex-
clusion of the telephone business.
Edwards, Woods & Co. are are said
to own the majority of the stock of the
company by recent purchases, and the
line has been converted largely into
commission telegraph line, according
to the complaint of Mr.. Burgess, who
was one of the original stockholders.

Why this extraordinary activity just

Railroad Assessment Unchanged.

the purpose of assessment at the same
figure as last year. $500 per mile for
main line of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. and $6.500 per mile
for branch lines and $1,5O0 for side
tracks. The 500 was assessed at the
same figures as last year, $1,000 per
mile for the main line and $4,000 per
mile for branches. The same figures
as last year we're adopted for the as
sessment of express companies. There
have been some increases in mileage
on the roads, which will increase the
total valuation of railroad property to
the extent of $1,000,000, or nearly that
