GREAT CONDUCTOR HAD HUMoR.
Witty and Genial Remarks Credited to
 Or. Hans Richter.

Countless are the stories of the seniality of Dr. Hans Richter, the fa- nous musician While rehearsing a Mozart symphony in which the first violins had 8 number of delicate trills and turns to perform. these were played too heavily for Richter. who said:
 Please. gentlemen, pianissimo, Queen Mab-not suffragettes."
 Again, when on one occasion Rich ter was not thoroughly satisfied with the orchestra rendering of scene from Tristan and Isolde" he stopped the rehearsal and asked for more dig nty in the playing, adding that Isolde was the daughter of king not of a cook. On another occasion, while re- hearsing Tschaikowsky's Romeo and Juliet music, the violoncellos had a very passionate melody to play. Rich tetr was by no means satisfied that the peedful warmth of expression had been obtained.
 Gentlemen. gentlemen" said he, you all play like married men, not lovers"

LION TAMER TALKS OF PETS.
Timid Animals Less to His Liking
 Than the Pugnacious Ones.

A lion tanner, over his midnight sup per, talked shop.
 The timid lion is the only one fear" he said. The fierce, pugna- cious lion Is my joy. What a show he gives the people for their money. Growing hideously, wrinkling his great face in dreadful snarls. gnash- ing his teeth and threatening to strike me with his paw, he goes through his tricks, and the audience Is held in a delicious suspense, half hop ing. half fearing, that the big brute will chew me up before their eyes.
 Yes, the fierce lion assures fine attractive turn. But the timid one!
 "The timid lion, just when you want to give your best show, will whimper with terror at the crack of the whip, and slink off to the farthest corner of the cage, and, turning It's back to you, lie down and bury its face in its paws. Gehenna,
 But. say, do you know what I've been known to do? I've been known to dope up timid lions. Yes, sir, doped them up till they were maniacal. That's dangerous, too. Batty like that, theys might do for you"

CREATED WRONG IMPRESSION


 Our attention is called to :a miscOnstruction placed on re- cent editorial in The News en- titled sticking Together The editorial appeared last week and dealt with the democracy of Faulkner county and not :only the democracy of that county, the people generally and compli- mented them on sticking tOe"tii- CT when any proposition Of inn pOrtance to that particular see tiOn was up for consideration Referring to the vote east in that county for Donaghey in the recent election, the editorial said that every body voted for Dona- aghey except a few disgruntled and begrudging fellows who were never success and didn't want anybody else to be. While It Is clear to us, It seems not to have been to every one, that this clause referred particularly to Faulkner county and not to the people of the state in general. Such a statement would be pre- p0SterOGs appliei to the entire state and while it seems to us that such construction could hardly bc placed on the express sion especially in the connection i'll which it appears yet we has ten to correct any such view wherever it may be It would be the height Of folly to even inti- mate that there were not good men on all sides of the campai ign and it was only for the purpose of calling attention to the man ner in which the people of Faulk- ner county stick together for ev- cry thing that is for the good of their home and home people, Mr Donaghey having lost less than 100 votes in that county.

Mr.. Fred ]. Gauntlet, local auditor

tation. When Il was announced that
Russia proposed to rebuild her navy

INTO the matter and look ont for the
interests OF the local yard. Soon
after his arrival. however, Mfr. Gaunt-
lett learned that American shipyards
would have no chance of securing
work from the Cars country. as the
Douma had decided that all OF the
proposed new ships should be con
structed on Russian soil.
Mr.. Gauntlet. MS we'll as a renre
sentative of the Cramps shipyard nj
