A Maniac Fooled

with several companions OF her own sex, when
their privacy was intruded upon by man who
entered their apartment at a wayside station

make the women apprehensive, and at last
terrified them by drawing a razor, which he
began to flourish at the same time demanding
that he be permitted to sever their heads
The women realized that they had a mailman
in the carriage with them, and also that they
were without protection until the next stop
of the train. In consequence they became
hysterical; all save Grisi, who with great cool
ness suddenly began to sing in a soft Voice,
that gradually assumed volume she gained
the attention of the man, whose threatening
attitude gave way to rapt attention as the
song advanced. Song after song did Grisi
sing, and not another movement did the man
make until the next station was reached when
the alarm was given and he was taken into
custody. 1t transpired afterward that he had
escaped from lunatC asylum.

was heard by the wife. who instead of losing
her head, sat down to her piano and began to

was on the point of forcing an entrance into
the room, when the song ceased and mans
voice struck up rollicking air, to be followed
in few moments by third mans voice
singing a familiar chorus. kneissel paused:
the husband evidently had returned unex-

air from the bed room, where she was singing
her baby to sleep. all unconscious of her hus-

Another well known opera star while trav-

whose approach the escort fed, leaving their
charges to the mercy of the robbers. The
attitude of the latter, on finding that their
captives had little money and valuables, was
menacing IN the extreme; and the travellers
all expected to be murdered that night.
When the robbers were eating their supper

that he should sing for the freedom of himself
and his friends. To this the bandits, cheerei

permitted to depart.

Luigi Lablache, the great opera basso, was
aimlessly strolling through a French fair, he
was surprised by sudden stampede of the
sightseers, who rushed by him in a great
panic, crying that one of the great bears had
escaped from the menagerie. So surprised
that he scarcely realized his danger, the singer
stood his ground, and almost Immediately

beast, which halted for a moment before

Over in Denver Colorado, a number of
Japanese students of the public schools
when given United States flag for the
flag drill, one of the requisites for the pub
lie schools, threw the same down and hiked
away declaring they would not carry the
flag because they hated it. 1t transpired
on investigation that other Japanese stu
dents in Denver had done the same thing.
Now that was one of the rules Of the pub
lie schools and every japanese that refused
to carry the flag on such occasions should
have been promptly expelled from the
public schools. We do not favor any dis
elimination in the schools against the Jap
anese children but we would not tolerate
any infractions of the rules of the
schools by such Japanese children as
did attend the public schools. San Fran
cisco in our opinion was and is wrong in
excluding Japanese children from her pub
lie schools, but that is no excuse for Japa-
nese children offering an insult to Old
Glory. We would expel every mothers
son of them that refused to carry the flag
on flag day if it meant war with Japan the
very next day. Uncle Sam should have
some rights that the little brown men are
bound to respect as we'll as the Mikado
have rights which Uncle Sam is expected

The ~nosed bill before the legislature,
giving tn5 city council the right to elect
city appointee in case the council and the
mayor can not agree on an appointee should
not pass. We do not favor Mayor Moore's
selections for a successor to A. L. Walters,
but the appointin power should not be
taken from the executive head of a munic-
ipality any more so than it should be taken
from the president of the United States or
the governor of some state Of our Union.
Ours may be desperate case, but not SO
desperate as to require such drastic rene
dies as the passage of law relieving the
mayor of the appointing power if he should
happen to differ from the city council.
