1.-THE BLUE DANUBE"
Odd Way In Which the Beautiful

Johann Strauss music is considered
light, but it weighed as heavy as lead
on his brain until he could transfer it
to paper. Els despair was pathetic.
At last a happy thought struck Frau
Strauss. She held out a snowy cuff.
The composer clutched it eagerly, and
In two minutes that cuff was manu-

spiration was incomplete. Strauss was
frantic and was about to make a wild
dash for home with the third part Of
his waltz ringing uncertainty in his
head. His own linen was limp, colored
calico. Suddenly his frau b%ethought

eonhae Learned Much at Athens.

Bonhag Learned Much at Athens.
The rise of George V. Bonhag to ath-
letic greatness as a runner during the
past few months has been the result
Of hard work and careful study. Many
athletics are termed great" but few
deserve 1t. To be q great athlete a
man must be able to make records at
his speciality, and by his recent won
derful four mile record run, when he
eclipsed Willie Days long standing
American record. Bonhag has Justly
earned the title Of great"
While Bonhag ran some slashing
races before that time, be may be truly
said to have learned to run at the
Olympic games at Athens last spring.
Before that time the crack indoor run
ner, like most American distance men,
depended upon his finish rather than
running all the way to win his races.
After seeing Lieutenant Hawtrey and
other crack E%nglishmen run at Athens
Bonhag figured out that their ability,
lay in being able to make the race
from start to finish and in conYersa-
ton just after the big meet said,
when you see Bonhag in a race after
this you will see him racing in the
lead right from the start and not fin
ishing up with any grand stand sprint
Bonhag has followed up the first part
OF his programme, but he has retained
the sprinting finish in spite Of the fact
that he goes along at q merciless clip
IN the early stages Of the race.

A STUFFED EMPEROR.
Fate of yalerian of Rome, Captured BY
the Persians.

One of the most remarkable stuffed
skinN on record was that of Valerian,
emperor Of Rome, who was taken pris-
oner and afterward kept in chains by
Sapor, king Of Persia. He was either
killed in q tumu1t or by order Of his
conquero1, who was perhaps fearful Of
losing his valuable living trophy. in
the year 269. The body Of the dead
emperor was treated with no more
delicacy than when it held the spark
OF q living one. 1t was skinned. The
hide after being tanned was stuffed,
painted red and suspended In the chief
temple of the capital. 1t remained
there for many years and was the
popular spectacle for holiday makers
and visitors from the country. But 1t
was put to more important ends than
this. 1t was made a diplomatic engine
OF much significance INC efficiency. In
after times 1t often happened that the
Roman ENJOYS at the Persian court
had misunderstanding more or less
serious with the government to- which
they We're temporarily accredited.
When these ambassadors from Rome
grew arrogant in their demands. it was
the custom to conduct them into the
presence Of the stuffed skin of the ex.
emperor of Rome, where they were
asked II humility did not become them
at sight of such q spectacle.

healthful region. The views shown
