GREAT CONDUCTOR HAD hUMoR
Witty and Genial Remarks Credited to
 pr. Hans Richter.

Countless are the stories of the geniality of Dr. Hans Richter, the fa- nous musician. While rehearsing a Mozart symphony in which the first violins had 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 nity in the playing. adding that Isolde was the daughter of king. not of a cook On another occasion, while re- hearsing Tschaikowskys Romeo and Juliet" music, the violoncellos had a very passionate melody to play. Rich tetr was by no means satisfied that the needful warmth of expression had been obtained
 Gentlemen. gentlemen" said he, you all play like married men. not lovers"

4 Matter for Reflection.

"The editor of my paper" declared the newspaper business manager to a little coterie of friends in his office, "is a peculiar genius. Why. would you believe it, when he draws his weekly salary he keeps out only one dollar for spending money and sends the rest to his wife in Indianapolis,
 His listeners-with oue exception gave vent to loud murmurs of won- der and admiration. This exception sat silent. gazing collectively at the ceiling.
 'I know 1t sounds thin." added the speaker, addressing the reflective friend; but 1t is true. nevertheless. :"
 "Oh, l don't doubt 1t at all!' quick ly rejoined the exception; "only was wondering what he does with the dol lar!-lllustrated Sunday Magazine.

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

A lion tanner, over his midnight sup per, talked shop.
 The timid lion is the only one l fear" he said. The fierce, pugna- cious lion is my joy. What a show he gives the people for their money. Growing hidsously, wrinkling his great face in dreadful snarls. gnash- ing bis 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. Gebenna.
 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, they might do for you

Initiating His Elders,

Young folks are quick to pattern after their elders bad habits as we'll as good. A little Rochester boy was sent on an errand by his mother to the grocery store, and when he came back he was contentedly eating a ba- mana. Where did you get your ba. nana?" asked his mother. Bought it." he replied, quietly. But l gave you no money to buy one" she ob- tected. "Oh, we'll" he said. noncha- lantly. T told Mir. Brown to let me have two. and would drop in and pay for them next week" That was beginning the credit system at an early age

SENSIBLE HOBBY.
We'll Known People Devote Spare
 Time to Upbuildins Health.

There is no excuse today for any person. unless tainted with an incura- ble disease, remaining sicllly. with the great advance in medical discoveries and the growing popularity of physical culture.
 In the diseases of digestion and nut rition for example. an acknowledged specific treatment has been found in Mi-o-na. It is relied upon as a cer- tainty in relieving the worst troubles of digestion and assimilation and mak ing a complete cure.
 People suffering with headaches. palpitation, sleeplessness, bad taste in the mouth coated tongue. distress aft CT eating, specks before the eyes. ner- vousness and general debility. and any other of the many distressing results of a weakened stomach. should profit by the discovery of Mi-O-na stomach tablets.
 Larson Drug company have seen so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach and general rundown state of health that they are firm believers in the power of this remedy to cure prac- tically every case, and they show this faith by giving a guarantee with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na to refund the money unless it does all that is claim ed for it. They take the whole risk. and Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny unless it cures.

 The Masonic hall had been specially prepared for the night ceremonials. For some time Doc Howard had been engaged in painting a very elaborate scenic picture for the Shriners. It was taken from an actual Photograph of an African desert scene showing the pyramids in the rear. in the fore ground a long row of date palms as natural as life. and a ruined temple, and the inevitable camels crouched on the sands.

 A vehicle prophetic of what was to follow came along. A white hearse bearing two unembalmed future der wishes. a bull dog and his sworn en- emy. the badger.

A FEW DAYS DELAY
 IN CONSTRUCTION
Republicans New Building Was Given Rather Unexpected Setback Yes terday.

The Republican regrets that it will be delayed a few days beyond the scheduled date for moving into it's new building on the corner of Adams and Second streets. by reason of an unfor- tunate incident early yesterday after noon. when about one-third of the west wall of the new structure was thrown down. It will necessitate rebuilding that portion of the wall and replacing several trusses that had been partially fixed in position for sustaining the roof Fortunately the only result will be the consequent delay and the necessary expense of doing that much work over again.
 The building, which is one of the best pieces of construction in the city, is one story. and a high basement. or practically two stories, the walls being of ample thickness for the adding of other stories when it shall be desir- able. The brick work was done by Barney Kirsting. than whom there is no more competent workman, and the carpenter work was done by the em- ployes of Clinton Campbell. who has the contract for the entire building Several of the big trusses from wall to wall, had been placed over the north end of the building, though some of them were only temporarily anchored by braces. one of these trusses top pied and fell against the next one, when they both turned turtle. bringing down the others with them. In that attitude, between the walls, naturally a great leverage was exc tied. and the west wall, being the weaker of the two by reason of the aperatures for windows and doors. was pushed over for the entire length that was in contact with the trusses. and most of the way as far down as the top of the basement
 Though it is impossible to find out just exactly what happened, it was evidently an incident of carelessness on the part of some workman, and it has been stated that it was through the thoughtless removal of a couple of braces that temporarily held the first truss in position. But however it happened, it was merely one of the little unlocked for things that are irri- tating and seemingly unavoidable in a world that still lacks much of per lection
 No one regrets the incident so much as those who were concerned in the work, and their greatest regret is on account of the senseless remarks that thoughtless people are sure to make. It was highly gratifying therefore to Overhear a statement made by Jack Greville who is in charge of the con- struction of the Noble building. when he said that it was an incident liable to happen to any building under pro- cess of construction. through the dis regarding of some seemingly unimpOrt- ant detail. by a workman who chanced for the moment, to be careless of what he was doing. The materials are of the best and the plans of construction. said MT. Greville. are in perfect har- mony with accepted, engineering skill.

 The only places that seemed to open on time were the fruiters, where we saw the most gorgeous grapes, quite beyond our modest purse. but worth going to Scotland to look at. Magnificent great punches they were. a foot long and nearly a foot wide. with every grape perfect, arranged on stands like card-housee, covered with white paper and with a background of their own leaves to bring out the full beauty of their color-white, green, yellow and purple of every shade from the delicate pinkish purple to deepest blue black. Our mouths vat cred as we looked at them. but we made haste 70 reflect that it would be sin to eat anything so beautiful: and feeling like the philosophical fox of the fable. We filled our bags with an inferior variety and sorrOwfully turned our steps toward the train which was to bear us away from this pleasant city. It is a pleasant city despite the pail Of smoke that hangs over it and turns its newest buildings to hoary, begrimmed monuments Of antiquity in years time. And though it shattered some of our pre- conceived notions Of the superiority of the Old World to the New-notions of the sort that, in their desire to be humble and fair minded, many Amer jeans have allowed to be thrust upon them by those supposed to know We have only the kindest memories of Glasgow.

one person of good but not too greedy

one person of good but not too greedy appetite.
 Having taken a birds eye view of all these glories, ones difficulties begin. In the first place. it is a most district ing matter to decide whether to take strawberry, raspberry. black currant or damson jam. and, having decided, to chase the last elusive berry around and around the bottom of the jar before catching and depositing it on ones plate. Then unless you are of such an extravagant turn of mind that you dis regard the price list propped up in a neat frame in the middle of the table there are most complicated calcula- tions to be made. If a potato scone and butter cost a penny. and a sweet milk scone costs twopence. and a bun .also costs a penny. shall l eat a sweet milk scone. which I like, or potato scOne and a bun. which I do not care for, but which will fill a larger chink in my internal economy" It is a dreadful problem. but no more so than to decide whether to take a small cup of tea for twOpence. on the chance of not wanting another; or to take the large cup for threepence in the begin ming. and in the end save a penny.
 On the whole way to enjoy Gran stons to its utmost is to say Hang the expense" and eat regardless. Then, when, having consumed so many scenes and cakes. that the suggestion of another bun" is a deadly insult. you begin a laborious calculation of what you have really eaten. you re- ceive an unexpected thrill at discov- ering that you have devoured the enor- nous sum of eight pence halfpenny.
 Glasgow's retail stores surprised our American minds much less pleasantly than did the tea rooms. Nine o'clock is supposed to be the opening time; if it is more convenient to make it later. why. later it is. Scotch merchants must have angelic dispositions-or per haps it is only stray American who arrives on the dot-so that it really doesn't matter if the saleswoman is 15 or 20 minutes late. On the morning we were leaving for the Highlands I found to my horror that l had left my umbrella behind and must buy another at literally the last moment. 1 flew panting up Renfield street to a nice little shop l knew, to discover the shutters just being taken off. I made a breathless entry and demanded an umbrella of the shop-boy. the only person in sight. He looked at me with hurt expression.
 ''The shop ain't open yet, num-" he said.
 Tt is partly open, at least" I an- swered. 'for you are here and so am l. Please show me the umbrellas, for I'm in a great hurry"
 I don't think the boy knew the meaning of the word, or else he thought such unseemly haste should be discouraged.
 '"I don't sell umbrellas. num- he said, "I only takes off the covers."
 Who does sell them. then?'' I asked in evaporation. 'I suppose there is some one in the shop who can
 Nom, there ain't" he replied se- verely. The young woman as sells hasn't come yet"
 I fancy he did not like the expression dawning in my eye, for he hastily re- treated to the back of the shop. calling over his shoulder as a parting insult. Come in later. num-"
 Later. indeed! It was ten minutes past nine then, and the train for Oban left at 9:30.
