Cheese Brought the Tears

Christine Nilsson and Signor Tag
liapietra, at one time co-member.s of
the Strakosch Grand Opera company
at the Academy of Music, New York
city, figured in an episode a la limbur-
ger, says a writer in Lippincott's S,
most inappropriate in consideration
of their nationalities.
One evening Faust" was the opera
scheduled to be given, Nilsson the
Marguerite, the late Del Puente (alter-
mating barytone) the Valentine, and so
on. Tagliapietra was off, and had
invited some German friends to a
small and late" at the then famous
old Moretti restaurant in East Four
teenth street. AS the dinner was
drawing to a close the singer found
the feast lacking in what he consid-
cred the essential limburger cheese
for his Teutonic guests, and ascer-
tanning Moretti could not supply them
with it, rushed forth to an establish
ment in the vicinity, where he pur-
chased quantity and was returning
herewith when he ran into the arms
of the Impresario Strakosch, who was
tearing about distractedly to find him.
Come quickly. Tag Del Puente
has been taken ill.," he gasped. The
curtain is up and there is no one to
finish the part of Valentine"

Lincoln. They show conclusive
ly that, with increasing intelligence
race prejudice is dying out. And
that is one reason among many
that we desire to see President
Roosevelt continue in the execu-
tive chair of the nation for yet an
other term, Notwithstanding his
declaration that he will not again
be candidate for the presidency
of the United States.-New Age.
The reasons stated by the Age
to have President Roosevelt sue
ceed himself for another term are
indeed quite feasible and we are
sure, voice the sentiments of every
loyal and patriotic citizen and es-
pecially the Negro. The people
are loath to believe the Presidents
declaration that he will not again
be a candidate for chief executive
of the nation and many of the
leading papers have already begun
crusade urging his candidacy for
another term. 1t is hoped, how
ever that the President will recon-
slider his utterances and conceed
to the wishes of the American peo-
pie to again accept the nomination
for another term.

Japanese Love Of Bathing

The betterment workers of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. have en-
countered some very interesting
phases of human nature in their work.
An amusing instance of race customs
and prejudices is recorded in the
Worlds Work by Mr.. Lawrence Lewis
as follows:
Differences in customs, too, require
careful study. For example a gang
of fifty Japanese miners, after work
ing two days in one of the large mines,
sent polite message to the superin-
tendent. that it would be impossible
for them to continue to work, unless
provision were made for them to take
baths every day when they came from
the mine. This made the companys

for 81 apiece to visitors from the
north. AS many alligators are raised
to maturity as the inclosed swamps
and streams of the alligatos farm will
permit. They are valuable for theH
hides, which are used for bags, belts,
purses and like purposes.
The supply of alligators is much
less than the demand, as the hide
hunters have killed off all they could
find, and there is as yet no close sea-
son in the game laws for their pro-
lection. Like the terrapin, they are
becoming extinct in their wild state.
At the alligator farms no more old
alligators are kept than are needed
for breeding purposes. Most of them
are sold when a month or six weeks
old, and the others are killed at an
early age, when their hides are more
pliable and easily worked
Alligator farming so far has proved
a profitable ndustry.-Amateur Nat
uralist in New York Tribune.
