MYTHICAL PAGANINI

Paganini is ALWAYS alluded to as the
greatest" vioinist (Which he was
noD, and as the craziest man who
ever held fiddle (Which he was not).
Technically considered, he was the
most astounding executant in the his
tory of his art (says James Huneker
in Everybody's). No one has rivaled
him in dexterity, in extravaganza, in
passionate outbursts. His peculiar
personality, coupled with his enor-
nous command of the finger-board and
bow, completed his conquest of the
public. From the first he set Italy on
fire, and to account for his genius he
became the center of a network of
fairy tales. 1t may be admitted that
he did not seek to deny the ridiculous
reports spread about him. He was
said not only to be an ally of Signor
Satan, but murderer who had served
his term in che galleys, where leisure
gave him an opportunity to perfect his
matchless mechanical skill. Further
more, he had gone to the galleys be-
cause of a love murder. All, they had
passionate press agents" in those
days.
Beaten in early youth by a cruel
father, his liberty, when it did come,
only drove him to eXcesses. He gam
bled away his money as soon as he
earned it, nor was his private life
matter for publication. He hurt his
health, and was forced to retire from
the public for long intervals. This
practice gave rise to the legendary
Paganini. We know that he never
murdered any one except himself, that
the only devil who haunted him was
the devil called gaming; but he did dis
sipate and several love affairs played
important roles in his curious career.
He wrote a piece for two strings, the
G and E strings, a duo, and naturally
it was set down to a love affair at
Lucca. Followed a fantasy for the G
string, at the suggestion of Napoleon's
sister 1t was called "a Military Son.

HUSBANDS MUST BE BOUGHT

If English girls who go to Austria
or Germany to earn their living chance
to meet officers, il is well that they
should be warned beforehand, advises
an English periodical, that marriage
with them is out of the question.
No officer in those countries can
marry without the emperors permis
sion, and without his wife's possessing
a specified dot
This rule is SO severe that there is
no escaping it unless the officer resigns
his commission. The lower his grade
Is the larger must the wife's fortune
be. Thus an Austrian lieutenants
wife must have G24S0, and a captains
or majors less, and so forth. The
government has thus arranged the
matrimonial market value of officers
as an indemnifcation for their small
of luxury, and are unable to buy them,
must therefore resign themselves to
the sorrows of hopeless love.
1t is remarkable that what would be
regarded in England as an arbitrary
and unjust law is taken quite philo-
sophically by foreigners, who rather
approve than otherwise of this system.
1t would be intolerable to an English
man to be forbidden to marry a girl
because she happened to be poor Not
only officers but the majority of Brit
ons, would protest Indignantly against
such an Introduction. Few Englishmen
marry for money. What a delightful
contrast this presents to the way mar
riages are arranged in Europe!

esteem herself lucky if she can secure

who is a student at the Atlanta uni

Yes, SIR" replied the boy.
"Larning 'rithmetic an figgering on

Yes, sir"
"Well, it don't TAX two whole days

"Why no." answered the boy.
"Wal." said the old man. "you was

SHOWED HIM THE WAY

The negro boy was up for the fifth
time on charges of chicken stealing.
This time the magistrate decided to ap-
peal to the boys father.
Nov, see here, Abe" said he to the
darky, this boy of yours has been up
in court so many times for stealing
chickens that I'm tired of seeing him
here"
"Ah don't blame you, sah," returned
the father. "Ah's tired of seeing him
here, too."
Then why don't you teach him how
to act? Show him the right way, and
he won't be coming here"
"Ah has showed i'm de right way,

"Ah. has suttenly showed i'm de right

able girl in England has a better
chance of getting we'll married than
her richer but less attractive sister
Yet Englishmen are branded by for
eigners as being cold-hearted and ego
tistical. Never was a prejudice more
illfounded.
The Englishman under an impassivc
exterior is the most romantic of men
Marriage with the girl he loves is to
him the fulfllment of his most cher
ished aspirations.
1t is certain that at least three
fourths of the marriages which take
place in Great Britain and in the Brit
ish colonies are love matches. No
thought of pecuniary advantage enters
the average Englishman's mind when
he pays his addresses to the girl he
loves.
In Europe, on the contrary, most
marriages are simply and solely ques-
tions of money. The Frenchman
usually marries either to better him
self, or in compliance with the wishes
of his parents. He half regrets the
end of his bachelor days; he rarely
marries girl who has no means. The
headlong way in which Englishmen
marry simply appalls him.

When Willie Jones was only twelve

Quite often he brought home a string
Also a yarn about a hummer

And right well little Willie knew it,
He reached the age of twenty-five
And fished with flies and other tackle;
