Some curious anecdotes are related OF
Hermann Zumpe, the Wagncrian con
ductor at Munich. He was well known
to be IA spiritualist and believed that
the ghosts of dead composers inspired
his conducting of their works. one day
Zumpe told another conductor of note
how Beethoven's spirit was present
during he performance of II of the
symphonies. and so pleased was the
ghost that after the end of the first
movement he exclaimed. AT last
"Ah, my lear fellow" exclaimed the
other conductor. surely Beethoven
made a mistake. He thought it was the

home with the other school children.
At night when Mr.. and Mrs. Henry

as to her whereabouts.
The neighbors became alarmed and a
search was made. Men and boys hunted
on every hill and in every hollow, but
all was In vain. Next morning a tele.
phone message brought the news that
the lost child had gone home from
