What His Music Bill Meant.

An architect who had planned and
superintendent the building of west
side residence had turned over the
completed house to it's owner. The
architect had been in nowise hamper
ed in the expenditure of money, yet his
customer, being a good business man,
gave his personal attention to the de-
tails of the cost.
''What does this mean?' he asked
on a final inspection of the bills. ''Three
hundred dollars to quartet Of trained
musicians. How can anybody have
given concert already in my house
when no one is living there?"
"They were testing the acoustics Of
the rooms," the architect explained.
every room in your house has been
submitted to that test. There will be
plenty of music there later on, and
certainly wouldn's want to finish the
house without being sure that the
sounding properties were satisfactory.
In these days every private house or
hotel that amounts to anything is put
through the acoustic test before it
leaves the architects hands. New

there would be no trouble about cor

The man who had done it was an am

like girl his father used to tell about
in Ireland.
'"This girl was the daughter of a
poor man, and every week or so she
used to come to the village rectory
with a pheasant or hare to SELL. The
price she asked was low, and for a
time the pastor bought of her. Then,
somehow, his suspicious were aroused.
The next time the girl called he said
to her sternly:

Gold Is Everywhere.

Gold can most profitably be extract
ed from certain mines where the ore is
rich and not too difficult to work, but
should these deposits ever peter out
there is no fear that the world would
suffer for lack of a gold supply, for
there are many other sources which
are as yet untouched, but for working
which profitable methods would be de-
vised if need were. Granite, for ex-
ample, contains an appreciate guam
tity of gold, and if it were not under
present conditions too expensive a mat
ter to extract it we should find Scot
land and Cornwall rivaling the Trans
vaal and the Klondike. The sea also
contains gold in solution, and the man
who invents cheap method of get
ting it out will make himself richer
than all the millionaires that ever
lived. Gold is also constantly falling
all over the surface Of the world, blown
to us in minute quantities along with
cosmic dust, which comes from inter-
stellar space.-Black and White.

ESCAPES AND rs RETAKEN
Rudolph Fullhweiler, Slayer of Jennie
ReihIe, Tries to Get Away from
Waupun Prison.

Waupun, Wis, Dec 30.-Rudoiph
Fullhweiler, who is serving a life SEN
tence in states prison for the murder
of siXteen-year- Jennie Reihle, near
Wausau, escaped from the prison, and
after two hours search was found
hidden in the vines within the prison
Enclosure.
He effected his escape by saving
through one of the iron bars of his
cell with a saw made of a knife which
he had managed to abstract from
among the utensils sent with his meals.
He was confined in a cell by himself,
which opened on the outer courtyard.
With the bar sawed off it was an easy
matter for him to wriggle his way to
freedom.
He was missed shortly after the es-
cape was effected. A search about
the prison and the town was at once
begun, and notice of his escape and
descriptions of the man were sent to
all points in the vicinity and to Mil
waukee. 1t was supposed that he had
succeeded in getting over the wall
but at about O'Clock he was found
concealed in the vines in the yard.

Hardly Negotiable.

Stories have been told of buttons,
tacks and various extraneous sub
stances found in contribution boxes,
but it is seldom that church member
strikes a blow so severe as was that
delivered by Amos Budd of Potterville
on one occasion.
1t was at the close of a missionary
sermon that Mr.. Budd, whose wont it
was to contribute 10 cents to each of
the charities to the support of which
the church subscribed, was seen to
take a blue slip from his pocket and
look at it keenly and affectionately.
When after a slight but evident hest
tation he dropped the slip, carefully
folded, into the box Deacon Lane, who
was passing it, could hardly refrain
from an exclamation Of joy.
''The Lord will bless you, Brother
Rudd," he said, when the sermon was
over, hurrying down the aisle to over
take the prosperous grocer.
II hope So" returned Mr.. Budd dry

Pen Portrait of GrieQ.

Here is as vivid a picture of Grieg the
man as any that has yet been drawn.
A correspondent who saw the noted
scandinavian composer when he re-
ceived his honorary degree at Cam
bridge, in England, in 1894, makes 1t
for the Manchester Guardian: 1T was
a sad and strong face that we saw,
one might almost have said a grim
face, but that there was nothing Of
hardness in it, face which must have
inspired both respect and affection in
all who met him. Yet as the little,
old looking man stood there in the red
and yellow gown Of a doctor of music
there was something incongruous
about his appearance, the head, en-
circled with long, straight, white hair.
