EMMA EAMES At BANGOR.
The Feature Of the Great Musical Fes
tivaI, Oct. S, 6 and z.

The ninth annual music festival Is
| the next big musical event for central
and eastern Maine and is being looked
forward to impatiently by all music
lovers. Ten years ago the names OF
the great musical artists were to the
bulk of the residents of this State. as
far removed as were those of the gods
end goddesses from the ancient
Greeks and Romans. and now, thanks
to these festivals, the names of Blau-
welt, Gadski NordiCa. Sembrich, Schu-
mann Heinck Davies. Evan
Williams. Miles. Campanari and others
have become household words, for
thanks to William r. Chapman. Maine
reopls have heard them here at home
a glorious treat that would not have
been dreamed of by the most vision
airy d short ten years ago. And now,
true to his promises. Maine is again
offered program III every respect
worthy of its predecessors.
The leading star is to be Madame
Emma Eames. whom Maine proudly
claims as product of this State.
True. she was not born in Maine but
tbs accident of birth of daughter Of
American parents i'm Africa would not
make that child a negress. neither does
it produce. if born IN CHINA China
woman. but an American. owing al
legiance TO the state to which her pa
rents owed allegiance, and so, Madame
Eames is, i'm every respect, Il Maine
woman. claiming the city of Bath as
her potential. if not actual birthplace.
that being the longtime residence of
her forheats.
And what record does this make :
What other state in the union has pro-
duced three such grand world-re-
nowned artists. within the limits of one
generation. as Annie Louise Carey.
Nordica and Eanics, a glorious trium-
,iratc. with which Maine may chal-
,engc comparison with any other state
in the union, and almost with any
country i'm the world. Surely Mr.
Chapman was a benefactOr to his ma
tive state when he concluded that Il
musical soil that could produce such
great vocalists as these, is worthy of
the utmost cultivation. and this has
been one of the primary objects Of
these festivals, for who can tell what
latent talent may he developed by this
instrumentality. OF all the great lead
ing artists of the day. Madame Eames
is the only one who has not been
beard i'll this her native State. since
she reached the pinnacle of fame.
True. Melba and Calve have not APP
ptIred in Bangor. but they have beer
heard ia Portland-Madame Eames.
however. has never appeared in any
city in Maine, since she attained rank
with the worlds greatest prina dom
tas. And now. this great privilege is
soon to be BangOr's and 1t would be II
blunder for anyone to neglect to avail
Himself or herself of this opportunity
which will undoubtedly furnish most
pleasant memory, and a joy. so long as
life shall last. For the selections that
she will render. one must refer to the
program. Suffice it that they will be-
each and every one, worthy of her
great fame.

lenders. This will bring the greater
portion of the belt and it's contents

prove a much easier means of carrying

the system of carrying the cartridges
in the belt is necessitated by the in

inasmuch AS the ammunition for the

are held together by strip of metal
at the butt. Each belt bears nine

each pocket carries two clips. making

Why has art SO large place in the
lives of the japanese? Perhaps be-
cause they begin to teach art early
in life.
In a recent trip round the world
the eminent English surgeon, Sir
Frederick Treves, spent considerable
time in Japan. On the occasion of
his visit to a famous temple the only
living creature met with in the tenn
pie grounds was an old woman car
rying a golden faced baby, her
grandson.
"Why have you come to a place so
solitary" Sir Frederick asked.

good to see the plum blossom" the
old woman replied, with the soft ur-
banity of her race.

Well Answered.

Mrs. James, wife of the president
of the University of Illinois, is well
known for her skill in repartee. On
the occasion of a recent trip to Paris
she and President James were din
ing in hotel. A certain young
French officer was speaking derisive-
ly of the failings of the Germans.
Mrs. James was born in Germany,
and nothing stirs her blood more
than to hear anything uttered
against the fatherland. After a lively
skirmish, in which Mrs. James met
every charge made by the young
officer, he finally cried out, "Where
can you find in German history a

A Strond Motive.

Robert Louis Stevenson tells of a
Welsh blacksmith who at the age of
twenty-five could neither read nor
write. He then heard chapter of
"Robinson Crusoe" read aloud. 1t
was the scene of the wreck, and he
was SO impressed by the thought of
what he missed by his ignorance
that he set to work that very day
and was not satisfied until he had
learned to read in Welsh. His dis
appointment was great when he
found all his pains. had been thrown
away, for he could only obtain an
English copy of the book. Nothing
dauntcd, he began once more and
learned English and at last had the

pose overcome the greatest difficult
