Great Composer Worried Over qwalI
Hole In Hla Best Coat"

Baron Edmondo Mayor des Planchea,
ambassador from Italy, told a new
Verdi story at a dinner given IN Wash
ington recently The great Maestro
had just produced his opera Aida In
Paris for the first time and the entire
city was wild with enthusiasm. The
president OF France made II known
that at the second performance the
rosette OF the Legion OF Honor would
be conferred on the iIlustrious com
poser. great fete was gotten up to
honor the event. The president made
the presentation. and Verdi seemed
overcome with emotion Indeed. he
fumbled with the rosette so long that
one OF the attendants OF the president
arose and, taking his penknife, made a
neat slit In the coat and placed the
button firmly In place After the opera
a grand banquet was given and every
one was concerned to see that the
Maestro looked unhappy He would
lapse into fits OF musing even during
the most enthusiastic speeches, and
would sigh and look doleful indeed.
Finally an old friend got near him and
asked sollcitously what was troubling
him Verdi mused a long time and
then explained sadly: Il do not see
that you can do anything to help me
and, indeed, / cannot see how I can
help myself. am Just wondering
what NV wife will cav n ma when she
sees this great hole In my best coat"

days, and a cyclone or an earthquake win
come and shake some folks back to their

oId-Time Organ Blowers Who Took
Their Work Seriously.

"The organ blower is passing he

He was a quaint type.
Most OF my blowers were simple

A movement has been started to
have the Malibu region in the Santa
Monica mountains Of California de-
clared national park in order to
preserve the prehistoric fora and
fauna, found in petrified form, from
vandal hands. Biologists have de-
clared the range to be the Oldest
mountain chain in California, and the
wealth of priceless fossils found in
the different strata bears out the state
ment of the scientists. Little, If any,
of the land is valuable for agricultural
purposes, while the rugged beauty Of
the many canyons opening on the Pa
eitic ocean is unsurpassed for weird
scenic effects.

Scotland possesses several railroad
anomalies Of which probably the most
notable is that of the stations Of
MalIaig and Kyle, of Lochalsh. which
though only 20 miles apart in a
straight line, are separated by no less
than $50 miles Of rail by the shortest
route. viz: Crianlarich. Balouhidder
Perth and Inverness. Yet another
Scotch incongruity is that the nearest
railway station to the town Of Port
Ellen, on the island of islay. if we ex-
cept the small local line at Campbell
town, is Ballycastle. in Ireland.

spoken. "You have lost none of your
old amiability. but for a renowned diplo-
mat you are remarkably frank. When
1 called on you in Paris year ago l
was able to render you'll believe you
admitted tia slight service"
Count Ferdinand Won StrOebel bowed
tightly but did not take his eyes from
the young man who sat opposite him
in his rooms at the Hotel Monte Rosa
in Geneva. On the table between them
stood an open dispatch box, and about
it lay a number Of packets of papers
which the old gentleman, with char
acteristic caution, had removed to his
own side of the table before admitting
his caller. He was a burly old man,
with massive shoulders and a great
head thickly covered with iron gray
hair.
He trusted no one, and this accounted
for his presence in Geneva in March
Of the year 1868, whittier he had gone
to receive the report Of the secret
agents whom he had lately dispatched
to Paris on an errand Of peculiar deli
cacy. The agents had failed in their
mission, and Won Stroebel was not
tolerant of failure.
It was not often that the light in the
old mans eyes was rs gentle as now.
He had sent his secret agents away
and was to return to Vienna on the
following day. The young man whom
he now entertained in his apartments
received his whole attention. He pick
ed up the card which lay on the table
and scrutinized it critically, while his
eyes lighted with sudden humor.
The card was a gentleman's carte de
visite and bore the name John Armi-
tage.
Il believe this is the same alias you
were using when l saw you in Paris.
Where did you get it?" demanded the
minister.

consciously, for his thoughts were far
away. as the vague stare in his small
shrewd eyes indicated.
