Johnny sopers store at the Young
Building and grind out the selection on
the Angelus piano machine. The
selection is from the New York mu-
steal comedy 1T Happened in Nord-
land" and is a very original musical
composition. 1 heard it myself, the
other day and since then l have cut
down my allowance of NORWOOD juice
to three day.

Willie Ellis is now at work on the
orchestration of Hawaiian music. Ever
since Berger's band went to the coast
and the various quintette clubs of Ha-
waiians have been playing island music
in the eastern states, there has been
a growing demand for Hawaiian music.
The scores have never been arranged
for orchestras but Willie has been at
work for some time setting the music
for orchestration. He has ssent the
scores to a music house and will short
ly have the stuff turned out.

The Elks are to give another theatre
cal performance. This time they are
going to make it a stag affair and cut
out the lady performers. A minstrel
show is on the program. They ought
to get some budding Belasco to write
a play around the new elk that Charlie.
Bishop sent the local lodge. If they
could only get Governor Carter to APP
pear in one of his stunts of cunning
for somebody and have him run against
the stuffed elk, it would make quite an
exciting tableauX. An Hawaiian pocket
edition as it were, of President Roose-
welt hunting big game.

81 wish" said one of the Washington
delegates, that 1 was well out of this
proposition. It's all very well to be
having a nice trip to Washington, as
it is called, and it will be all very well
to go to Washington and succeed. Then
we shall come back and get a great
reception. 1t will be fine. But sup
pose we fail" The delegate shudder-
ed at this point while l made the Sign
of the Hammer.

Governor Garter is quoted as saying
that he would have withdrawn his OBJ
iections to Judge Robinson if the lat
ter had approached him in the proper
spirit. That is, that he would have
withdrawn his withdrawal of support
had the judge shown what the governor
deemed proper subservience in dis
cussing the matter. But I am given
to understand that there was no sub
servience at all and that instead Judge

chambers in heat telling the governor
that he knew his own business and
refused absolutely to accept any criti-
cism at all from the executive, on the
subject of the incident which was at
first described as an orgy" The pro-
position of withdrawal seems to make
matters all the worse, and I am going
to drop all efforts to understand this
most incomprehensible incident. If
Carter opposed Robinson on the high
ground that there was a principle in
volved in his allowing liquor to be
used in chambers, how can the principle
be affected by Robinson's attitude to-
wards the governor in discussing it?
If Robinson did such a wrong act that
he should be opposed, what difference
could it make how he treated thu
governor later, in discussing it?

Marshall Field who was the greatest
dry goods dealer on earth, and one of
the richest men, was man almost de-
void of what is known as personal
magnetism. He was very courteous in
his manner but not genial, nor scarce
ly affable. When the panic struck
Chicago in 1898 there was a run started
one of the oldest and sOlidest institu-
tons in the city. Both Marshall Field
and p. d. Armour were large stock
holders i'm the bank, and directors. The
danger was that the run might extend
to other institutions less able to stand
it than the Illinois Trust e Savings
Bank. Armour, who was really man
of kindly personal instincts felt that
the depositors who were allowing them
selves to be scared into withdrawing
their deposits were the ones who would
be the losers. This run occurred in
the latter part of May or June near
the end of an interest period, so that
by Withdrawing their deposits the de-
positors were sacrificing several months
interest. He therefore announced
that if any depositor had any misgiV-
ings about the bank if he would assign
his deposit to Armour & Company as
trustee, Armour & Co. would hold the
deposit for him until the end of the
interest period and then return to him
