A WAGNER
How He showed His JOY mt n "Par-
sifal" Rehearsal.

The following anecdote of Wagner Is
told by Alfred Reisenauer, the pianist,
who. as Il pupil of List, knew the
composer Of ''Parsifal' personally.
wagner was always more or less
self conscious says ~Reisenauer, land
only at rare intervals did his friends
see him in moods that could be called
anything but premeditated. In Bal
reuth ! saw him in a highly character
istic situation, and l never shall for
get it. 1t was at a rehearsal Of Par
sifal.' The garden scene had just been
admirably sung and danced, where
! upon Wagner, in his eNuberant JOY,
Rugged and kissed the artists, and
| then. quite beside himself, got down on
all fours and barked like Il dog, con-
| Guiding his exhibition by throwing his
legs in the air and balancing himself
on his head.
AT this interesting moment L.isZt
and several Of his pupils, including
myself, walked on the stage. Quick as

role of Wagner's self constituted de
fender, said grimly, We'll, II that's Il

successful. l firmly believe, however

his friends said that during the night
in going into his hut II snake bit him
on the foot; that he was much alarmed
and rapidly passed into a state of in

DOLL A
Kindness to Apache Child Prevented
Trouble with the Indians.


A doll once averted n war with red
skins. An American general was try
ing to put a band Of Apaches back OF
their own territory, from which they
had persisted in breaking out, but
could not catch them without killing
them, and that he did not wish to do.
His men captured II little Indian girl
and took her to the fort. She was
quiet all day, but her beady black eyes
watched everything. When night came,
however, she broke down, just as any
white child would have done. The men
tried in vain to comfort her, but finally
the agent borrowed a beautiful doll
from an officers wife, which had be-
longed to her little daughter, and prom
Used the Apache girl that she could
have 1t II her sobs ceased. She then
fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was
clasped in her arms. Eventually the
little Apache girl. with her doll, was
sent back to her people. When the
child reached the Indians with the doll
in her chubby hands 1t made q great
sensation among them, and the next
day the mother came with the child to
the post. She was Hospitality received,
and through her the tribe was persuad-
ed to move back to its own territory

THE SOMALI.

BY nature Somali are alternately

inherent pride forbids that. Cab driv-
Ing. boat manning and grooming are

suit he Is said to be unparalleled In

BRIDGES.
Used By Man Hundreds Of Years AEs
For Crossing Streams.

ps
The towline is doubtless the earliest,
as 1t is still the simplest, application OF
a rope for the removal Of material.
Hltched to a floating log, the genesis
Of all water craft, canoe or sledge, 1t
was used before history learned the
art OF writing or mankind the art Of
reading.
The towline was combined with the
suspension cable as a means Of cross
ing streams in the mountains Of Hin
dustan ut a very remote period. The
suspension cable, often several hun
bred feet in length, was made of twist
ed fbers or slender stalks Of climbing
vines. This was solidly secured to
large trees or masses Of roc,.s on the
banks of the chasms to be crossed. On
this cable "a wooden block, grooved I'M
derneath, was placed, suspended from
which was a small rude platform or at
times a simple loop of rope for the
passenger or baggage. The wooden
block, with its attached load, was pull.
ed across the chasm in either direction
by a towline attached to the block.
This rude contrivance is the genesis Of
the most refined aerial ropeways of the
present day and of the suspension
bridge also. which is, Of u crude form,
of very great antiquity.
When the Spaniards first visited Pc
ri they found suspension BRIDGES which
could be traversed by men Fad bur-
dened animals. Some of these bridges
were Of over 200 feet span and were
formed Of half a dozen cables Of twist
ed Osiers stretched from bank to bank
and passed over wooden supports.
These cables were bound together by
| smaller ropes and were covered with
a layer of bamboo, which formed a
support for the roadway.

COLLEGE OPENED.
Formal Opcnlna Of New Educational
Institution.

Institution.
The Red Cloud Business College
held its opening reception and exer-
eises Tuesday morning. The cere-
monies were appropriate to the occa-
sion and we're we'll received by those
present. There was a disappointingly
small attendance of business men,
owing to the usual extra work follow
in the New Year holiday.
The audience was assembled in the
large study room and the exercises
were opened with a song, "Speed
Away" by a male quartet composed of
Messrs. Albright, Getting, Argabright
and Albright.
Elder G. Z. Davis of the Christian
church read from the fifth chapter of
Matthew, following which he offered
up a short prayer.
Immediately following the opening
prayer the quartet sang "My Country,
Tis of Thee
Rev. w. l.. Austin, pastor of the M.
T.. church, delivered the principal ad-
dress, and spoke very pointedly of the
objects and aims of acquiring an edu-
cation. His address occupied about a
half hour and was listened to with the
closest attention by the students and
others present.
Attorney f. U. Overman delivered a
few brief remarks, the main Point of
which was to show the young men
that there we're other and higher aims
in life than the acquiring of great
wealth or political power, II of which
was to make 'some good and
about six children happy"
Councilman G. +. Gather was the
last speaker on the program, and
pleased his hearers with some very
complimentary remarks about the
founders of the school and a predic-
tion that the institution would be a
success and a credit to its founders
and the city.
THE SCHOOL
The school is located in the Dam
erell block, in what is known as Dam
erell's hall, with four adjoining rooms
As the demand,grows, more rooms will
be added. The main study room is
the large hall on the north over AL
bright's furniture store, in which are
dozen or more large tables at each
Of which four or even more students
can comfortably work, as well as
elevated desks inclosed by ratings
for book keeping work.
The two small rooms on the south
Best are fitted up for stenography anC
type writing work, while the centeI
COON on the south has sufficient seat
ing capacity to be used for a lectur,
room.
The large southeast room is sup
piled with tables containing readin
matter, desks, telephone, etc, and will
be used for the office and receptio
room.
The enrolment this week is abou
twenty, with a large number in col
temptation. The prospects for a SIT
eessful school are very bright, an
there is no reason why the young me
