THE CAT AND THE MAGPIE.
A Tragedy that Caused NeIshbor-

A Tragedy that Caused "a NeIRhbor
hood COldness I'm Kansas City.
This Is the story Of cat and mag
pie, says the Kansas City Times. A
few days ago they might have been
written about In the present tense in
some such manner as this:
The cat Is fine and sleek and fat
the magpie Is happy aud talkative and
mischievous. Side by side they live out
on Brooklyn avenue--.he exact block
doesn't mater. Their owners are hap
by, too, and dwell together In harmony
and serenity, as nelghbors should The
cat is beauty, striped and marked as
tiger Is.
All this might have been written a
few days ago. It's different now. This
Is the way the change that makes the
past tense necessary happened:
The magple, needless of It's danger,
was roaming about in the back yard
gathering choice bugs and worms. The
tiger cat, lying lazily In the sunshine,
watched the bird through haIf-cIosed
eyes. Then something within seemed to
arouse the tiger cat and to urge It to

cannot too forcibly insist that the
mere possession Of a lovely voice Is
only the basis OF vocal art. Nature oc-
casionally startles one by the prodi-
gality of her gifts, but no student has
any right to expect to sing by inspIra-
tion any more than an athlete may ex-
pect to win a race because he Is nat
urally fleet of foot
Methods of breathing, "attack" and
the use of registers must all be per-
fectly understood by the successful
singer, who should likewise be COM
plete master Of all details relating to
the structure and use of those parts
above the voice box and be convinced
of the necessity of a perfectly control
led chest expansion in the production
Of tone.
For perfect singing, correct breath
ing, strange as It may sound, Is even
more essential than beautiful voice.
No matter how exquisite the vocal or
gan may be, Its beauty cannot be ade-
quately demonstrated without proper
breath contro!. Here Is one OF the old
Italian secrets which many singers OF
to-day wholly lack, because they are
unwilling to give the necessary time
for the full development of breathing
power and control. Phraslng, tone,
resonance, expression, all depend upon
respiration, and, in my opinion, musI-
cal students, even when too young to
be allowed the free use of the voice,
should be thoroughly taught the prlnci-
pies Of breathing-NellIe Melba in

AT that moment the owner Of the mag

The cruel murder caused great ex-
cltement In the neighborhood. Gentle
hands fashioned wooden box lined
with white muslin. The tiger cat was
laid within and the box buried. There
were tears, too-yet, salty, sad tears
for the poor tiger cat. But more.
There was an oath--a solemn oath-of
vengeance.
The owner of the magpie tried to
blame the affair on his craftsmanship
by saying he had intended to hit a
stray cat on the back fence and not the
pet tiger cat, 50 beloved by Its master
and mistress. His explanation was in
vain. The magple isn't safe outside Its

old.

But He's Only Two and a Half Years
Old.
Boston Is peculiarly Interested in the
progress and growth toward manhood
of the son of the late Marquis Of Don
egal, because his mother was at one
time a resident Of that city, was stu
dent at the Quincy Mansion school, and
later attended Wellesley College, from
which she was graduated.
The widowed Morchioness was Miss
Violet Twining, whose father, heavily
interested in shipping affairs, lived in
Halifax, N, s., and in Fredericton, N.
B. She was intensely English and at
the time Of the Boer war went to South
Africa with her mother, where they
ministered to the British soldiers
Later they went to London and the
young woman was presented at court
where she met the Marquis of Donegal,
then so years old.
The marquis had been bereft of his
first wife by death and had divorced
his second one after several suits, in
one at least of which she brought n
counter action against him. Neither Of
his wives had presented him with a
child and the old marquis desired to
marry the pretty Canadian girl, says
the Boston Globe.
She accepted him and they were mar
| riod in 7 ondo,, on Dao % 1000 uNbo
marchloness was then % years old. She
gave birth to son, the most noble the
lord high admiral Of Lough Neagh, as
he Is named and known. The old mar
quis died May IS, 1904.
The Marquis of Donegal Is hered-
itary lord high admiral of Lough
Neagh and Is permitted to wear a naval
uniform similar to that of the king.
The lord high admiral Is baby Of
50 many titles and honors that he
would be really quite formidable per-
son to meet, for Edward Arthur Don
aid st. George Hamilton Chichester,
sixth marquis Of Donegal, Is also Wis
count Chichester, baron of Belfast, earl
of Donegal, earl Of Belfast and Baron
Flsherwick.
In addition to his high naval COM
mand he also holds military rank as
hereditary governor Of Carrlckfergus
castle, an ancient fortress near his an
cestral home Of Castle Chichester,
County Antrim, which does not require
much government, however for al
though few heavy guns are, indeed,
mounted there, 1t ls used now only as
an arsenal.
Such string Of honors might have
depressing effect upon some people,
but 1t does not seem to weigh heavily
upon the spirits of this small person,
and he plays with his toys in his nur-
sery just az happily as IL ne mad no
inland sea and no grim fortress de-
pending upon his exertlons for defense |!
As he Is peer in the United King
dom, there is a seat waiting for him in
the House of Lords, but he Is not very
much puffed up about that. In fact,
it is said Of his loIdship that he does
not think much of the House of Lords.
and that a seat upon good rocking
horse Is, in his opinion, something
which Is far more worth having.

And this time Cupid, for, Of course,
1t was he, put his arms round her
neck and nestled up to her, for did he
not understand? OF course, and he

boy, who was so very like himself.
The cab stopped, and man opened
the door.
"At last, dearest; thought you

her cloak.
Roy got in and sat next her and put
his arm round her shoulders
what is 1t, dear?' he asked-the
cab had started again.
II cannot come with you, Roy" she
said. II can't leave my baby to the
mercy Of that man, who, although he
has been 50 cruel to me, is still its
father"
Cupid edged himself higher up In
her arms, and his head came uncovered
but Roy did not see him; he only saw
the woman's eyes, tear-drowned and
full of longing, which he mistook for
love for himself! 1t was mother love
really, you know.

THE 2-cENT PARE.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean of thu
22d inst. reports an agreement be
tween the leading railroads, con
forming with the sentiment in fla
vor of a 2-eent fare, to put il
force, effective July 1, next, a 2
cent rate all oyer the United States
The rate should be uniform, what
ever it is. A 2-cent fare in one
State and a Scent fare in another
would lead to all sorts of trouble.
Besides very few railroads are
limited to any particular State OF
section. For instance, there has
been much talk about the railroads
of the South being unable to make
expenses with a 2 cent rate, while
those in the North would be better
able to maintain that rate. How
many railroads are completely in
the Southg There are several
complete lines in the North. An
arrangement of that kind would be
inconsistent and impractical. If
the railroads cannot afford to do
business on a 2-cent fare uniformly
all over the country, then we say
let the fare be more. BY all means,
we would rather see uniform
Scent fare than 2-cent fare North
and Scent fare South.
But the matter should not be
left entirely with the railroads.
An agreement should be reached
through conference of Govern
ment representatives and railroad
officials, and that after thorough
investigation of the railroad bust
ness. However, if there is any
foundation for the report that the
railroads will adopt the 2 cent fare
and make it uniform in all the
States, the question will be settled
without further agitation. In this
event the railroads will accede to
The demands made upon them be-
fore there is time for any serious
'upture to occur. They will be
placed in an attitude favoring the
interests of the public and thereby
,licit its confidence.
