Senator Til!man tells OF South
Carolina trial in which the prisoner,
accused of burglary was cleared by
a strong alibi, amply supported by
witnesses. After the trial the Judge
joined the friends who were congrat-

"That was an excellent alibi you
proved" YES" said the lawyer, sit

While stories were going the rounds
at the Lambs club, one night. Francis
Wilson contributed one about lead
ing man of a theatrical company Il at
had become stranded at Saginaw.
The leading man installed himself at
a hotel, and lived precarious life,
while waiting for remittances. One
morning, he rang the bell in his room
for half an hour. Nobody answered.
Then he went out in the hall, leaned
over the railing, and called: boy!
Oh, boy!" What Is it?" snarled a
bell-boy from the lobby beneath
Have you seen anything of my laun-
dry?" saw, g'wan!" said the boy;

The following remarkable essay
on the horse Is said to be from the
pen of an Indian student: 1.-THE horse
Is very noble quadruped, but when
he is angry he will not do so. He Is
ridden on the spinal cord by the bridal,
and sadly the driver places his foots
on the stirrups and divides his lower
limbs across the saddle and drives the
animal to the meadow. He has four
legs; two are on the front side and
two are afterward. These are the
weapons ON which he runs. He also
defends himself by extending these
in the rear in a parallel direction to-
wards his foe, but this he does only
when he Is in an aggravating mood.
There Is no animal like the horse. No
sooner they see their guardian or mas
ter than they always cry for food,
but it is always at the morning time.
They have got tails, but not so long
as the cow and such other like ami
mails"

Ottokar Malek was heard for the first
time in Chicago on the evening of De-
cember S, in the Studebsker theater. He
revealed himself as an exceedingly tai
ented pianist. who possesses great natu-
raj gifts both musical and technical
These, combined with unusual personal
attractiveness, make him an artist whose
success with his audience as measured in
enthusiastic applause and many encores
was more than usually rewards a first
appearance in this city. He is distinctly
an artist of the subjective type. IL is
his own personality that he exploits in
his p1aying-not that of the composer
This same type of artist finds its highest
and most famous example today in the
playing and personality of Paderewski
Like Paderewski, Malek will will make
ardent admirers and bitter enemies His
admirers will be drawn from the general
public and from those musicians who
place the emotional elements of music
above the intellectual: who desire the en-
phasis OF the poetic and sentimental. and
who demand of each artist that he put
as much Of himself into his playing IS
possible. Against him. as against Pad
erewksi, those who find the highest type
of interpretative artist in the man whose
work conforms most nearly TO the tradi-
lions of each composer will make com
mon couse. 1: must be admitted that
those artists who have won richest re-
wards in fame and money belong to the
first named-to the subjective type. and,
as said above, TO this type Malek also
belongs.
Every number on his program last Sun
day was musical and poetic. and IL he
was not successful in those numbers in
which these elements most abounded.

heart interest and full of episodes Of
powerful dramatic strength. Ii abounds
in scenes of vivid realism mixed with
