Grand Opera Stars.

Some persons cannot be convinced
the grand opera singers have any
worthy or honorable mission ii the
world. The Rev. Herbert S. John
son. of Boston, in a recent sermon,
''Some Thoughts on Success Of
Opera Stars, said:
Caruso-not so long ago he was a
Door boy. The son of a poor woman
who sold herbs, and was glad to work
for so cents day, and 10 sing FOR $
a week ia an insignificant choir in
Naples. and today he can command
81 800 a night.

of our own paltry salary. oh, what S

emulate the lucky Italian if we are
Wen. are they suceessful-what is
success? Some old-fashioned people say
success is happiness. Do you think
Miss Farrar and Caruso are really
happy and have we reason to be un-
happy because we cannot have thou
sands for singing two OF three times q
week?
I doubt If it can be wise for a young
man of thirty-three or thirty-foGr years
OF age 10 have $500 a night. What
would we do with that sum- Buy

Neither the newspapers nor the
clergy know whether Caruso or Mss
Farrar is happy or not, for thus
far they have failed to make the
public the recipient of their inmost
thoughts. But we all do know that
they have made thousands of other
people happy, given the pure delight
that comes from beautiful music ex-

range Of pos sibilites that one Of the
great railroad lines OF the country may

With the exception Of Paris and Gym

Elections on the subject Of local option

Louisville and Nashville people that on
this great thoroughfare from the Queen
City 20 Georgia there are no points az
which liquor may be obtained.
The strong wave OF prohibition. or
rather local option, that has swept over
the South recently is one OF the strange
