Queer Language.

When he was in Egypt Mark
Twain hired two Arab guides to take
him to the pyramids. He was IA
miliar enough with Arabic, he
thought, to understand and be I'M
derstood with perfect ease. To his
CONSERVATION he found that he
could not comprehend a word that
either of the guides uttered. At
the pyramids he met a friend, to
-.haza be made known his dilemma
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1907-03-01

1t was very mysterious, Twain
thought. "Why, the explanation is
simple enough" said the friend.
"Please enlighten me, then," said
Twain. 'Why, you should have
hired younger men. These old fell
lows have lost their teeth, and, of
course, they don't speak Arabic.
They speak gum-Arabic."

SCHUBERT'S SAD LIFE.
ri Shall Have to Sneak Frcrl Door to
Door to Beg My Bread"

Door to Beg My Bread"
One of the bitterest disappoint-
ments in Schubert's life was
Goethe's indifference. In 1918 he
sent a selection of his compositions
to the poets songs to Weimar.
What precious pearls of music were
among the collection-the songs of
'Alignen" and ''The Harpist,' > those
from Faust" the sad melodies
Longing" ''Nightsong," ''The
Wanderers Nightsong," ''The Earl
King" "Haideroslein," 'HThe Fish
erman," 'sThe Bard ''The King of
Thule" and the music to "Claudine
of Villa Bella" Goethe, who had
an ear only for the stiff compost.
tions of Zumsteeg and Reinhart,
then in fashion in Weimar, took no
notice of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until
1S3O-after Schubert's death-did
Goethe learn to appreciate the ex-
tSaordinary value of the compost
lions that lay neglected in his
drawer. It was then that Wilhel-
mine Schroeder Devrient sang ''The
Earl King" to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight
to make some little excursion with
his friends to the picturesquely sit
uated villages in the Wilnerwald or
on the Kahlenberg, and it was n
the arbors of the small inns, with a
glass of pure country wine before
him, that inspiration came most
easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittered by the malice
that pictured him as a drunkard
who composed his songs when he
was full of wine. It is an absolute
fact that he did not lose the faculty
of artistic work even under the sad
dest circumstances. He composed
the greater part of the Miller
Songs" while he was lying i'll in hos
pital in 1928.
He was quite right when he
wrote to his friend Kuppelwieser in
March, 1924, s'Those of my compo-
sitions which have been inspired by
pain seem to please people best"
And in letter to Bauernfeld he
complained: ''What will become of
moor me? Like -Goethe's harp
PLAYER, I shall have to sneak from
door to door and beg my bread"
The only ray of light that fell into
his dark life was when, through the
kindness Of Count Johann Ester
hays manager, Unger, the father
of the famous prima donna, Unger-
Sabatier, he was appointed music
master in the counts household in
Zelecs, where he spent some happy
summers, the happiest of his life
It was in Castle Zelecs that he is
supposed to have fallen in love with
Caroline, his patrons beautiful
daughter, who was his pupil and
who probably never learned the
secret of the musicians heart,
though it is strange that one so
gifted and so beautiful should not
have married before she was well
into the thirties. Bitter disappoint-
ment followed this short spell of a
life free of care-London Tele-

like a pet dog with dynamite crack
or tied to its tail That river is the

This thing happened in Kansas City
not many years ago: A party OF men
owned strip of land along the MIS-
souri, river bank. 1t was not hand
some land, but IL was valuable for fac
tory purposes. They were offered
portly prices for it, but held on.
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held a
hurried diagnosis with a surveyors
tape ano found that half of 1t had
been washed away. The next year
half of the remainder had gone.
The men wanted TO sell then, but
the market seemed remarkably slug
sish. The next year the river ate so
vigorously that only tiny strip about
as wide as a piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to in
crease. The Missouri had chosen the
late manufacturing site for place TO
deposit fine l60-acre farm upon
which It had foreclosed up the river.
Inside of six months that strip OF
land contained 200 acres. The men
we're jubilant. but still they would
not sell.
They wanted another 100 acre.,
they said They strolled along the
bank each day and urged the river.
in proprietary tones, to build faster.
Then the river changed its mind
once more and not only wiped ont the
extra 100 acres but the original 100
acres. every foot OF it, The next year

owned the ground behind the original
plot. They have STAYED there ever
since-that is. up TO last reports. For

FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured tho Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even in
Advanced Stages.

Rheumatism is a painful infamma-
tion of the muscles or of the coverings
of the Joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of tive
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR.,
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi.
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
