The Sorcery Of Song

Madame Pauline Lucca, the Prus-
sian songstress, rented a beautiful
villa beyond the city limits Of Berlin
while extensive repairs were being
made. and additions also, to her
palatial residence in Victoria
Strasse.
One afternoon she went to the city
and secured the caoket of jewels
which had been presented 20 her
some years previous by Queen
Victoria, her purpose being to show
them to friend who would visit her
on the morrow. 1t never occurred
to Madam Lucca that anyone could
know OF this, .,ur did she dream of
burglary. But that evening. and it
was very dark, drizzly evening, as
she sat writing letters, she saw in a
small mirror on her desk the face of
man glaring at her through one of
the windows, against which his face
was pressed.
She moved little, so as to shut
out the vision and also to prevent
the man from seeing that his face
was thus mirrored. although the glass
was so small that he might not have
been able to discern his own refec-
ton Madam Lucca continued writ
ing; that is she kept on moving her
fingures as though writing, but she
really ceased to write. She was
thinking and wondering what to do.
Not man servant was on the place
nobody, indeed, but her young
maid. To make an cutlery would un-
doubtedly produce no other result
than to incire the intruder to
violence.
Instinctively she thought OF her
ore great power, the power of song.
Handling two or three letters as
though wondering what tc do with
them. she began slowly grooming
Prussian lullaby. Gradually she
sang with more spirit, and at last,
though her voice trembled pitifully.
she sang with considerable spirit. ]
and sang again and again. the lullaby

in her cradle. When she had con-
cluded she moved bit. looked into

the glass, and the face was gene.
She sang another lullaby, and sang
it with more energy. and again
looked to the glass, and knew that
she as either alone or chat the in
truder was seeking admission by
some one of the various entrances to
The little villa. Then she called her
maid and asked her to stand between
her and the window, while she took
the jewel case under her arm, turned
down the light. and left the room.
The maid accompanied Ter to her
bedcnamber upstairs. There they
barricaded the door, moved the bed
against the one window, and spent
the night sleeplessly. But there
was no intrusion.
Three. days latter Madam Lucca
received an unsigned letter which
she road to her maid. and often to
nthtr, rs tire iears went by:
MADAME LUCIA; The night you

from crime and maybe saved your

power of song. 1t wrs the trembling

Judge parish and Scandinavians.

Judge Parish and Scandinavians.
Phillips Times: AS we consider
there is an unusual effort being made
to influence the scandinavian ele-
ment against Judge Parish in this
county, and feeling an old time per-
sonal interest in the Judge we would
| call the attention of that class OF
our voters to one little incident OF
over twenty years ago. when the
Judge VIZ an ambitious young at
torney of Meiford, where he demon
strated his real friendship for those
people when they were weak polite
ally in Price county.
The writer remembers the follow
ling stance, occurring in he
early sos, when Judge Parish was
just plain John Parish, as we used
10 know him. During the t'ial of
the case of Bloomberg VS. Stuart u
Abbott. trustees of the Wisconsin
Central Railway. Bloomberg vas

killed by the railroad company Will
Mr.. Bloom berg was delivering ti@,
The attorney for the. railroad w~s
exceedingly vindictive and abused
all of Parish S witnesses, denouncing
them as periurers and scoundrels.
They all happened to be Scandinav
ians, and John being lit tie up on
history retorted by saying:
Il am astonished that my disting
uished friend. the attorney for the
railway company, should take occa-
sion, without any cause. to abuse
land insult all my witnesses who Zap
Epen to DE Scandinavians 1t was
once said that all Creto.s are liars,
but This is the first time have ever
heard the integrity and honesty Of
Scandinavian questioned. Ihey
are distinguished by all who know
the rsce as one of the most honest
and best races the world has ever
known. When We read a chapter in
the history of France w, find it was
Rollo with his Nor hmen that con-
quored Normandy, and when we turn
and read achapter in English history
we learn it was the defendants of
these Mortimer who conquered the
| Saxons Of England. and when we
read another chapter in English his
! tory we read that the British nobili-
lty have descended from these same
Mortimer.
Turning to the attorney for the
Central. Parish said "My disting

of the blue blood of the British
aristocracy coursiug ia his veins.
He, himself, if he is right, is near Of

tits needless to say John won his
case, although the company appea =

| Judge won in that court also. and
compelled them to pay the homo
steader for his horse. A good many
of our readers will remember this
incident.

John Ross was Scotch minister

former parish of Blair. At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, a distance of about three miles,
for the purpose of seeing certain

come to church, where he had never
been. He found him fishing in the riy-
er and asked to be allowed to have a
cast II never lend my rod to any
body" said the farmer. But" replied
the minister. Il have come all the way
expressly to see you, and | must have
a cast" The farmer, who was a very
strong man and had never been beaten
in a fist fight, offered to fight for it.
"All right said the minister, and ha
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was different kind of fishing that the
minister had come for. TIe asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, Now, you
go on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did

So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried, ooh, Lord, deliver me from this
man" ''Stop!p said the minister THAT

Ardmore a healthfuI Town.

Some six months ago v J. Pratt
moved to Ardmore from Western New
York where he had resided for many
years. He was in nj health and his
friends gave up all hope OF final re.
covery.. MIR. Pratt first came to Okla
homa City. but It. seems did not like
the place. In his rounds he ran across
an Indian who suggested that Ard
more would be fine place to locate.
He came here and after looking over
the town decided to locate. When
the summer rolled around he went TO
Minnesota but the climate there did
not seem TO agree with MIN and he
returned to Ardmore. He says that
he has been improving all the while
and that he will remain here the rest
of his days. Mr.. Pratt has great faith
in Ardmore and he has made several
investments in real estate. Lately he
bought some property on Second Ave,
southwest.
Physicians claims that ArdmOre is
one of the most healthful towns IN
the country It is the highest point
between Galveston and Kansas City
and considering the size OF the town
the absence OF sickness is considered
remarkable.
