is my judgment. And aren't we five
able-bodied jays, gentlemen? Five
strong-arm suckers ? 1t. is an1inelegant
word; it is an inelegant feeling. No

are five good men and led horse; we
can get out of here by Goose river,

how much they got, and pick them up
somewhere around the Saddle peaks
If they've gone north. That's only a
guess, and every mans guess is good

If it's the crowd we think it is,
would they go straight home? That

asked Brill Young.
IF they could put one day between
them and pursuit, wouldn't they be
safer at home than anywhere else?
And haven't they laid out one days

There was some stirring. Kennedy
talked little and at length stretched
himself on the floor. When all was

krakatoa.

Perhaps the most remarkable vol.
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August, 1883, at the Is.
land Of Krakatoa, in the Straits of
Sunda. Streams of volcanic dust were
thrown II miles high, and more than
a cubic mile Of material was expelled
from the volcanic crater. The air
waves started by the eruption tray
eled around the earth seven times
The noise was heard at Mascasa, $50
miles away; at Borneo, 1,116 miles dis.
tant; In West Australia, LOO miles
away, and even at Rodaguez, distant
more than 1900 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out OF the
crater made the entire circuit Of the
earth before settling down, and was
the cause of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months.

BEETHOVEN AND BUSINESS.
Selling His Music Was DistnstefuI ia
the Grenl (nm nnSer.

the Great Composer.
An extremely interesting article
which has just appeared in German
the following statement, says the Phil
adelphia Record: Beethoven never
bargained in the ordinary way; his
fees for contribution were demanded
always pointed out when mentioning
price that he meant guineas and not
sovereigns, or, rather, their equivalent
I'm Austrian coin. In 1901 he wrote
to music firm at Leipzig: "Now the
unpalatable business part is done with,

only one music publisher to whom the
artist might take his work, knowing
that he might ask ii fee according to
his requirements. AS it Is, he has 10
be partly Il tradesman. Good heavens,
how different and unpalatable this Is
But this pious wish was never fulfilled
and Beethoven had to remain half Il
tradesman' to the end.
As II suggestion of how deIications
are occasionally made, the following
letter. which Beethoven wrote TO the
same publisher in 1902 from Vienna, Is
interesting:
The lady in question can have a
sonata and | will do my best to carry
out her aesthetic ideas. The price Is .

may retain the sonata for a year as

cation. At the end of the year the
sonata becomes my property-that Is
to say, | have the right to publish it,
and If she thinks it an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her"
This. from the business point Of
view of the lady in question is surely
a tempting offer. At least. so the art
patroness OF to-day would think # she
had a chance of suggesting to Bee
tloven the aesthetic idea for a So
nata; to retain such treasure III her
own hands for a twelvemonth, and
thereafter have it dedicated to her -
