On all lsides Were heard only words
OF praise and commendation, and 1t Is.
evident thnt the people are proud OF
the achievement OF Virginians with

Mr.. Barr. director general OF the ex-
position, declares that there will be no
backward movement, but that the fu-
ture will bring even greater successful
lamestown He seems confident that
all necessary pecuniary aid will be
Forthcoming. and says that unless he
felt confident of success, he would
never have undertaken tho gigantic
task which confronts him. With new
attractions OF all kinds, with a deter
mination to Guido all that other fairs
have done, the spirit OF progress is
strong at jamestown and the outlook
is brilliant

The party was taken upstairs,
through the rooms where the real taxi

see hides being crammed full Of saw

such thing was seen. however, and in
place Of this were men and boys mold

What Verdi Did With the Key Of .

Not all the great composers have
courted the constant adulation Of the
world. Verdi used to lament that he
was unable to find refuge. even for
brief space. from the reputation THAT
preceded him wherever he went.
At one time he desired to spend a
much needed holiday at the watering
place Of MOntecatini. When he arrived,
he found that In one Of the apalt-
ments assigned to him stood a grand
piano Of noted make. On the rack,
by way Of compliment. lay the score Of
III TrOvatore." AS soon us he caught
sight Of it the veteran flew into q rage,
hastily locked the instrument, threw
the score into corner and, calling far
his host. demanded In tragic tones:
Lead me to the spot that Overhangs
the steepest precipice"
Wondering. the host did as he WIS

the maestro. who was almost exhaust
ell from fatigue. flung the key Of the
piano into the abyss, theoretically ex
claiming as he did so:

provide the piano with n new key, but

One Occasion When the Animal Did
Not Come Back.
When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning. figuratively If not
literally. No common back door cat
this. but one that must be buried with
alI honor The question was how and
where.
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
it sounded too much like lynching. 1t
was finally proposed that the father,
who had to cross a ferry every day to
his place of business. should drop 1t

er appealed to the sentimental attitude
Of the family this idea was received
favOrably.
The following morning the remains
Of the cat We're made into package
and securely tied. 1t was Il lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed SO
simple ut home assumed unexpected
difficulties in the face Of curious
crowd. ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parcntly mysterious action.
Finally 1t occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening.
and he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice In the dusk.
Through the day 1t occupied a corner
Of his office, and he was glad when the
time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was well
out in the stream and then. glancing
around furtively. laid his hand on the
package. Suddenly 1t struck him what
would seem strange In broad daylight
would seem doubly so at night.
With smOthered grOan he replaced
1t on the seat beside him. There was
no help for 1.-THE would have to carry

was to convey him the rest Of the way
he placed the cat on the shelf above
his head and for the first time that
day forgot all about 1t. Hurrying to
get Off the car when he reached his
destination, he was halted by some one
behind him. who thrust into his hand
