claimed her as a friend. 81 really
don't believe you remember met she
exclaimed, reproachfully, and the old
lady, never doubling that her memory
was at fault confessed that she could

said her interlocutor, gayly, and after
a few more lively speeches she passed
on, having possessed herself mean
while of the old ladys purse.

THE GREAT PADEREwski.
Sketch Of the Worlds Most Noted
Pianist


1t is now 16 years since New York
was first invited to pass Judgment on
a young Polish pianist of whom much
had been promised by his sponsors
His manner at his instrument was one
of difhdence, even of shyness; and,
while he exercised over his hearers q
certain indef1nable charm, they-musi-
Clans and amateurs-went away un-
convinced.
His Leap to Supremacy.
Then began his recitals The first
were given in the concert hall Of Mad
ison Square garden. 1t was as if a
new prophet had come to reveal in
fashion never heard before the beau
ties of music. Soon it was necessary
to give the recitals in the great audi
torium of Carnegie hall, and even that
was too small to hold the audiences
which would listen to his playing.
A Factor Of success.
1t would have been wonderful had
Paderewski's season of popularity
lasted but single year; but instead
of diminishing, each return to this
country has seen his favor with the
public increase and grow more solid.
Paderewski, who is touring under
the direction Of c. A. Ellis, will ap
pear at Spokane, in the large, new
armory, Wednesday. February IL, 8:15
p. M, under the management of R. R
Ellinwood.
Seat sale opens Monday February
| 8, $3.50 a. M, at Eilers Piano House
Spokane. Mail orders accompanied
by checks will be filed in order of re
ceipt.
Prices range as follows: $500. $500
$3.50 and s1.OO.
Subscribers are requested to indi
cate preference of seats; one as nearly
like it as possible will be assigned.
State whether the tickets are to bt
mailed to address given, or to be helt
until called for. Address R. r. Ellin

cRIDIRoN CLUB MEETS.
Tho Wits Hold Political Rally and
Barbecue at Washington,


Washington, Jan. Pet was s
grand political rally and barbecue In
the hall Of the Willard house" This
was the Official description of the
23d annual winter dinner rendered Sat
urday night by the Gridiron club to az
many of it's friends a. could conven
iently be seated at the flower bedecked
tables in the great ballroom of the
hotel. Cut flowers, giant palms and
potted plants, with splashes of beau
tiful colorings made by the red poin-
setta and other winter blooming plants
had transformed the handsome rooms
into bower of floral beauty.
In this scene of almost tropical
splendor were introduced with charac-
teristic Gridiron felicity asplrants to
the presidency, for it was candidates
night Into the limelight were brought
William j. Bryan, still the peerless
leader, Vice President Charles War
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, former At
rem Fairbanks, Justice George Gray,
torney General Judson D. Harmon and
United States Senator Philander C.
Knox, all Of whom figure as factors in
the presidential equation. The presi-
dent of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt, who, it is alleged at the
dinner, had long string attached to
his declination Of another term as
president, was afforded an opportunity
to look over at close range some Of
those who are in the list of his posi-
BILE successors
An impressive feature of the dinner
was the Inauguration of the president
of the club, James Henry of the Phila-
delphia Press. During the evening
songs were sung to the candidates for
president, and they were all rollicking
songs, full of jollity and with not a
sting or bite in any of them.
Among the speakers during the eve
ming we're President Roosevelt, Vice
President Fairbanks, w. j. Bryan,
Judge Gray, George AIDE, Speaker Can
non. Representative Williams, Sena-
tor Knox, Secretary Root, Ambassador
Hengelmuller and the Rt Rev. Henry
Y. Satterlee, bishop Of Washington.
Among those present were Secreta-
ries Straus and Wilson, Postmaster
General Meyer, the Brazilian ambassa-
dor. the minister from Switzerland,
Senators Beveridge, Kitteridge, Long.
Mason. Scott, Perkins and Stone, Rep
resentatives Loudenslager, Lowden,
Moore and Tawney, and Governor Hog
gait, Alaska.
The hit of the evening was must
cal satire on "Pinafore.' The ship was
named "Esculapius; Dick Deadeye"
addressed his important information
to the doctor" instead Of the cap
tain," and Admiral Evans was made to
ask the president not to call him
Bob" but DOC"
