Handed Down Gives the Wsseott
Heirs the Ownership of the Real Es-
tate and Block Occupied by the Rob
ertson and strub Restaurant.

b. Bradshaw, during the summer vaca-
ton, and filed in the district court this

tention of the Meekers as occupying
claimants, and it has to do with

reimburse the Wescott heirs for rentals
received during the years of the al
legged ownership of j. F. Meeker and
also whether or not the Wescott heirs
shall reimburse the Meeker estate for
the improvements made on the prop
erty during the same period of time.
These phases of the case are still to
be tried out in court.
The suit involving the ownership Of
the property. was brought by the Wes-
colt heirs against J. F. Meeker. AT
his death, his heirs. F. L. Meeker, Guy
A. Meeker, Mrs. Lorraine Meeker Rowe
and Mrs. Sarah T. Meeker, became the
defendants in the suit.

A day or two ago a woman entered

the receiver of messag es that she de-
sired to telegraph her husband, who
was away In the country, to ask him
for money. He pointed her to the coun-
| ter supplied with blanks and told her
the rate for a dozen words. She strug-
gled away for a quarter Of an hour and
then handed in the following:
Wont you please send me Is by
next post?"
Il don't know whether that will do
or not" she said as she felt for her
purse. IF you were to receive such a
telegram from your wife, would you
| forward the money!"
''Well-well, l might" he replied in
doubtful tones.
"Now, you wait. l don't like the
telegram at all, because 1 tried to keep
it within twelve words. I'll write an
other"
She tore it up, walked over to the
counter and in three minutes handed in
new one reading:

MYSTERIES OF SONG SLANG.
Onions Are Akin to Sentiment In
the Music Hall World.


How many people would guess the
meaning Of Spanish onion songT'
This strange phrase-one Of the many
to be found in the professionals die
uonary of slang-is used to denote the
music hall ballad, and owes its origin
to the fact that no self-respecting mem
Der Of It's race would be without q pa
thetic reference to dear old mother" or
somebody's sweetheart far away"
Now, pathos draw tears. and so do
'onions. The rest is obvious, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
These ballads are also known by the
name Of Give me your kind applause
songs" a title which is also applied 10
ditties whose duty 1t is TO draw atten-
ton TO some misdeed on the part Of the
imperial government.
Artists, too always allude to the last
though in many cases it may be their
second or their fourth.
"Breathers' are so called because the
unfortunate artist who sings them has
no chance to breathe unless, perhaps
he surreptitiously drops a stray note
here and there and thus draws few
molecules of air into his lungs These
songs-of which The Irish Christen-
ing" is an example-always have at
least five long verses, which are run
one into the other and sung without
break of any kind.
A type of song which is designed
with the express purpose Of deceiving
the audience Is the "cod ballad" With
great ingenuity the composer begins
his verse in a highly sentimental tone,
when, just as the audience is COM
mencing to search for its pocket hand
kerchlef, a sudden turn is given to the
words and every one realizes that he
has been tricked. The whole thing is,
in fact, veriest parody. ''Mingle your
eyebrows with mine, love-" is a case in
point.
At the present moment the music hall
world is searching high and low for
concerted numbers, which form per
cent of the seaside. These are merely
or Quintets for Pierrots and outdoor
theatrical troupes. while extra bust
ness is added to suit requirements.
Motto songs, which are increasing in
popularity every day, will also, it is ex-
pected, help to pass the hours for the
loungers on those yellow sands" These
ditties always point an excellent moral.
The production number" is a term
which needs some explanation. 1t
means that the song is elaborated or
featured with chorus girls and is
''produced' Oh a more elaborate scale
than the ordinary number. 1t also re-
quires special scenery, with effects.
Soubrette songs give the idea Of
songs always sung by soubrettes. They
must however, fulfill certain other re-
quirements. The chorus, as in other
songs, do not remain the same, the
couplet in every case being differently
worded.

LIES MIRROR.

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls thCt are pure and true ;
Then give TO the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow
strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gifts will be paid in
kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely find
A smile that is just as sweet.
Give pity and sorrow to those who
mourn;
You will gather, in flowers again,
The scattered seed from your thoughts
outborne,
Though the sowing seemed but vain.
For life is the mirror of king and slave
IT'S just what we are and do,
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
