The Quaint ornan Blower.


"The organ blower is passing: he will
soon be. like the armorer. extinct" said
a musician. ITS a pity. He was a
quaint type
Most Of my blowers were simple
minded old chaps who firmly believed
they must suit their blowing to the
music. In soft, light passages they
blew soft and light When the crescen-
dos Numbered forth they worked fran
tically, blowing with all their might
and main.
often a facetiOus reporter on the To-
cal paper would refer to the excellent
blowing of the organists assistant,
Mr.. Bellows Then the blower in his
vanity would develop all the affecta-
tons Of a Paderewski or a Sousa. Now
he'd blow delicately, a dreamy smile
on his lips, his eyes half closed. The
music would change to a march and
he'd stamp his foot in time, while up.
down, up, down, the old bellows. in |
time also. would be jerked. At a eli |
max his face would redden; he'd bend |
to his task and blow so fast and fu-
rious that the organ would nearly
burst" - New Orleans Times Demo

An Ancient romb For chio.no.


Negotiations have been begun by the
representative OF a Chicago museum
for the transfer to that city Of an an
Client tomb weighing $50 tons, accord.
ing to an Assuan correspondent Of the
London Graphic. The tomb is situated
near the pyramids Of Sakkara, twenty
miles from Cairo, and is a favorite
resort Of tourists, who usually make
the journey on camels across the des-
ert from the great pyramids at Gizeh.
The Chicago museum authorities wish
TO remove the tomb in its entirety. To
achieve this will naturally be a difficult
problem. 1t has been arranged that a
whole train shall carry the tomb in
sections from the nearest point Of the
railway to the coast, but no arrange
ments have yet been completed for
moving the tomb from the desert sands
70 the railway line. The sections OF
the tomb will be carefully packed and
placed on board a steamer at Port Said
or Alexandria. Another special train
VIII convey it from the American coast
to Chicago, where the sections will be
put together under direction OF archae-
Ologists.

Offers a Sound Currency.
(ChicagO RecOrd-Herald)

Despite all attacks, there is a grow
ing recognition that the Aldrich bill
has one element of strength. at least,
which may leave it in the field after
rival projects have been defeated.
This is, that it offers a form of money
which would be beyond any question
as good as gold at all times. After
the experiences our fathers for two OIL
three generations back had with uh-
sound money of various kinds, this is
a recommendation that cannot be
overlooked. AS much cannot be said
for the more radical proposals. While
it is possible that every one of these
may provide for sound money, yet
there is always an element of doubt
because actual experience under
American conditions is lacking. Only
the asset-based issues of the clearing
houses have given any actual proof OF
their solidity.
AS the situation stands. if the oppo-
,onts of the Aldrich bill find in the end
that thew cannot get legislation which
would be more satisfactory to them.
thev can at least accept that bill with
ont fear that serious harm would re-
cult from it,
