Grand Opera Singers Are Niggardly

This is actually the golden age for first-class singers, and not one seems to pause in the mad rush for gain. Some ''great artists' are very small men, almost invisible to the naked eye so far as nobility of character is concerned. Their illimitable and unsuitable greed nearly paralyzes us. There are first rate singers just now; but there are also fashionable humbugs. One singer said the other day that her repertoire con sisted of fifty-two grand operas, and she did not know what night she might be called upon to appear in any one of them.
 One writer has it. "As matter of plain fact, the average grand opera singer is the canniest and most niggard- ly creature that ever put signature to a contract. No dealer in old rags, canned milk or rubber boots is so grasp ing, so .captious in money matters, as these singers of great roles who claim temperament as their birthright and genius as their. special gift from heav- en-" One impresario has it: Art ists are raising their salary demands to incredible heights, and, of course, l cannot hope to make financial sue cess. The audiences are just as big now as our opera house will hold, and prices cannot be advanced. "--New York Press.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., November 13.-- A recent case in the district court has served to elucidate that the elastically ambiguous term "widown has its meaning in the eye of the law. The circumstances including the discussion of the legal acceptance of the term came in the course of suit for the col lection of county taxes claimed due by Tax Attorney W. G. Gilmore, but evad- ed in their payment by the defendant who claimed exemption by reason of widowhood.
 As the result of the definition of widow" ably put forth by MT. Gil more, and in whose contention the court eoncurred, precedent has been estab- lished in Cochise county and none but bona fde widow-she who has been made so by the demise of a former lawful husband-shall enjoy exemption from payment of taxes as the law pro- vides.
 Heneeforth, the widow of "grassn n proportions and she of the marital ties disrupted and rent asunder by his maj esty, the law, must pungle their just proportion toward the bearing of the county's expenses.
 Tax Attorney Gilmore's s fiat has gone forth and the court has given full ac- cord to his views.
 It will matter not whether or no the aforesaid divorcee shall have severed herself so completely from the ties of wifehood as to have foregone even the salving balm of alimony; if she has an ex-life partner anywhere extant on the mundane sphere, her cesterces must fall duly and regularly into the coffers of the treasurer.
 In the world of widows there is to be none but she who travels life's path alone; the "grass' widow, the widow by divorce and the "near' widow are all in the "lame and halt" class so far as his honor will be able to perceive.
 And Gilmore did it. With his little dictionary and rhetorical effusion, he has weded out of the field of exemption all but those who are justly entitled b ystatutory provisions to it's benefits.
 In summing up his arguments, Mir. Gilmore quoted Webster and Worcester and pointed out forcefully that there can be but one widow-the woman made so by the death of her husband.
 "The courts of the land can have no cognizance of season for widows when they may go afield and with legal shotgun bring down bevy of fair and lonely creatures upon whom the stamp of widowhood may be put, was passing shot of Gilmore's which earned mirthful reward for the speak CT, and Judge Doan put his approval on the views of the man who is here to see that Cochise county's revenue shall be paid, and paid in full.

Hatless Through His Life

Bareheaded and without an overcoat, Fred Mead of New York and Yonkers, sailed on the Kronprinz Wilhelm yes terday. A steward seeing possibilities of reward ran to him to offer to find his headgear. The hatless man ran his fingers through d thick mass of hair, thanked the steward and walked the deck without concern. Several friends went to the ship to wish him good voyage.
 Fifteen years ago MT. Mead threw away his hat and has never worn one since. He says he is great deal health fer and happier because of this, and he looks it. The hatless one has made sew eral tours of Europe.-New York Times.

out toward the line of the tropical

obi Helen's sense of Importance
had departed. Suddenly she felt i'm
measurably insignificant, but this feel
ing was succeeded by one Of intense
indignation.
''Of all things" she calculated.
"Well, l know it's unusual for man
to withdraw proposition of that kind
in ten minutes, and l know l said some
pretty insistent things just before the
train left, but I've changed my mind.
It's usually woman's prerogative,"
was his easy way of getting out of it,
'but this time it's a mans, and I've
changed my mind"
For the first time in her life Miss
Carstairs could not meet the situation.
She simply sat there with her cheeks
burning and hated him.
Curiosity getting the better of her,
however, she asked:
"But why?''
'That thing" Marston said succinct-
" and nodded toward the hamper "To
think you could take a thing like that

Miss Carstairs felt better. She could

the starving of scores of natives, ac-
cording to the officers of the barken-

knew only that while they were cross

Miss Carstairs was not so old or so
sophisticated that she was dead to the
delights of having three punches of
violets, two boxes of candy and a bun
die of magazines piled up on the seat
next to her. Seemingly unconsciO us of
the glances that had followed her as
she came in, she nevertheless seated
herself in her chair with the feeling
that she was a person of Importance
and one whose popularity was evil
denced by the number and value of her
going away gifts.
AS if the gods had not been good
enough, however, just as the train
pulled out and Richard Marston held
her hand in a last farewell, the por-
ter staggered in bearing a huge ham
per, fruit filed and flower decorated,
such a hamper as one sees only in the
tropical paradise of millionaires.
Marston eyed it jealousy.
"Such a display of money" he criti-
cised.
"It's beautiful" Miss Carstairs as
Sured him.
"Oh, we'll, my violets won't have a
chance now" but it was a question
rather than an assertion, and Miss Car
stairs said, ''How do you know?" And
that was encouragement, or would
have been from anybody but Miss Car
stairs.
1--WE half mind to go on with you
to Daytona," Marston hesitated, and
Miss Carstairs said ooh, dor and
that settled it. Marston went to find
the conductor and get a chair, and as
there wasn't any but the one next to
Helen the porter lifted the punches
of violets and the two boxes of candy
and the hamper of fruit and the bun
