work OF closely reasoned composition.
The second number Of the program
were two violin solos by Miss Thatcher.
Besides being fine examples of the
artistic power that lies In suppressed
musical rendition, with all that 1t
tells the audience OF ones perfect
command over ones violin, these solos
gave the audience q chance to com.
pare the effect OF the single instru-
ment with that Of the four, and fur.
ther made pleasant interlude and
transition to the Dvorak.
II Schubert's music Is classical hav.
ing no personal note in It like the
sentimental note Of Chopln's music.
nor having any national flavor about
1t like Yankee Doodle, Dvorak's
music has a great deal Of color and
feeling In It, especially national feel.
Ing.
Dvorak by race was q Bohemian,
and In the sos or 9O's somewhere he
came to America and while here be.
came absorbed In the study Of Negro
melodies in the South. These darby
lullabies, and roundelays ne worked up
into his New World Symphony" and
into string quartette form. This
latter was heard Wednesday night
and accounts for almost the popular
"catchiness" Of this music. The
southern negro certainly could be
heard In 1t, but Dvorak's own native
Bohemian music would interpose its
voice at times In almost the clear
measures OF oriental music. At any
rate the minor key added much to
the beauty OF this music and the
sweet notes OF the cello sustained
seemed to bear the burden OF the
rythm, as If it were beating time.
Yet at times this music was difficult
to understand, especially the Lento
movement, and the frequently recur-
ring notes Of simple negro song would
always be welcome. The Motto vi.
vace movement was rather difficult to
play. and during the playing the i'm.
preston strengthened that the quar-.
tette has itself under admirable self.
control, and this is a fundamental re-.
quirement before any success can be
thought Of In playing not only the
finer (pianissimo) tones, but also the
trumpet.like ones.
1t is indeed, happy combination TO
put a classical composer and a TO.
mantle composer on the same
pregnant; 1t not only assures variety,
but very often while the romantic
music captivates and holds the atten.
tion, the colder classical music can be-
insinuating itself by degrees unto the
appreciative musical faculty. So
much for the excellent work OF the
quartette; now just q word for the
audience. In one way the success OF
a concert depends on the audience.
just the moment the musicians feel
interest and attention OF the audience,
a new spirit takes hold of their play.
Ing and this reacts on the audience for
they then get better music. On the
other hand any inattention or lack OF
enthusiasm kills the music 1t was
because the audience cooperated with
the auartette on Wednesday night,
that the concert was the best OF the
season. ].

Chances for Success.

Speaking Of b. Y. G. chances for
hoDors 10 the big games east, It Is safe
to predict that the wanderers from
Utah will not come home without Il
few scalps tied to their belts. The
eastern basketball game is not as fast
as the Utah game, but as rule is con-
siderably rougher. Ifthe eastern foot.
ball style OF playing doesn't rattle the
local boys they will show up well with
the best teams In the tournament
The Muscatine team, which was beat.
en- by both the Y. M. C. A. and L. ID.
S. U. teams short time ago, had won
all but four or five games out Of forty
played east OF Utah, and all OF Us are
familiar with the fact that the B. Y.
c. team has repeatedly beaten both of
the Utah teams that defeated the
Muscatines. This gives fair Lineup
on the chances Of the CrimsOns.
Logan and Utah people as a whole
have confidence that the B. Y. G. team
will give a splendid account of itself
while away and have hope that 1t will
return home crowned with honors
galore

the chapel service on Thursday was
devoted to some rousing send.ofis, In
which Future.Mayor John Crawford
shared; and In the afternoon dane.
ing matinee was given in honor OF the
team. The speed with which the ar.
rangements were completed and team
hustled Cff left little time for further
expressions OF good will and hearty
cheer, else there would have been a
reception or two and an elaborate
demonstration. Just before getting
away Photographer Torgeson took
pictures OF the party.
The first game to be played will
probably be with the University Of
Chicago team two or three days after
arrival. This will be an exhibition
game designed as an advertiser and q
money.maker. Then will follow the
games in the tournament next week,
In which teams from all over the east
take part. On the trip home the
Crimsons will probably play at Mime.

games played the trip will be u great
one for the Crimsons, and splendid

Crawford will look out for the news

Did You Ever See A Horse Cry

O'o you Ever See Horse Cry?
did you ever see a. horse cry?"
asked Herbert Tennent of st. Louis
Globe-Democrat reporter. MANY peo-
pie believe that horses do not weep,
but those who have had much to do
with these faithful creatures know
that on several occasions they will
shed tears, as we'll as express sorrow
In the most heart-breaking manner. In
the West, where the hardness of the
ponies causes the riders to almost
overlook the necessity of providing for
their needs, it is quite common when
the weather is extremely cold to leave
an unblanketed pony tied up for two
or three hours when the temperature
Is nearly zero, and while its owner
Is transacting business or getting
drunk. In this case the suffering is
evidenced by the cries which are al.
most like sobs, and unmistakable
tears freeze on the cheeks like
icicles. When a horse falls in the
street and gets injured the shock
generally numbs the senses so much
that 1t does not either cry or groan.
but under some conditions an injured
horse will solicit sympathy in the
most distinct manner. l remember a
favorite horse Of my own which trod
on a nail long enough to pierce its
foot The poor thing hobbled up to me
on three legs and cried as nearly like
. child in trouble as anything can
describe. The sight was q very touch
Ing one. as was also the crippled ami
mails gratitude when the nail was
pulled out and the wound dressed"

ANTS DESTROY BUILDINGS

bill for the expenditure of the sum
OF 3O,S80 yen for Keeling Hospital and
3O,s76 yen .or Keeling post Office,
as the cost Of repairing damages to
these buildings from white ants.
These pests injure almost every
building in Japanese style in For

ed away and were just as bad as they
had ever been.
Most serious injuries were sustain
ed by the Keeling post Office, where
pillars, beams, floors, papers and even
mail bags were gnawed away. In a
large room provided for mail car
riers. etc, hundred mats were all
destroyed. Astonished at this event
the postal officers replaced them by
new ones at once, but on the very
day this had all been done it was
found out that half of the new mats
were again gnawed away.
Several years ago in the prefectural
offlce at Taipeth there was a most
substantial wooden box containing inn
portant documents, etc. When the
officers wanted to open this box it
was utterly impossible to do so, and
when they broke the i'd of it they
found out that inside of it was a
nest OF white ants and all documents
were entirely destroyed.
The official residence of the Cover
nor OF Taichu was several years ago
attacked by this white army, when
walls, pillars and floors we're all
eaten and destroyed. Seeing that he
was utterly defeated the Governor
surrendered the residence to the
enemy and removed to another house.
Not only wooden matters but cloth
es, etc, are also frequently injured
by ants.
