She Sang LA PELAMO

Did you hear the little girl sing La
Pelamo at the Grand last night? How
did you like it? Say. ladies and gen.
tlemen. let me tell you something. You
have heard a great singer in that little
girl; all lovers of music should go
and hear that little grl sing that one
particular song, La Pelamo, and after
you have heard her, If you decide that
she was not up to the standard of eff
cheney, you will at least know that
you, yourself, are no musician, and
cannot be taught music even by high
classical one. If your heart had not
been changed last night when you
heard her sing, no human being can
ever teach you to become musician,
and If you are following music for a
livelihood, you had better quit 1t at
once, and start some other occupation
that you are most suited for. What
fault had you to find with her? Was
IT because she was Spanish or sang in
Spanish or that the song was. Spanish,
and the composer q Spaniard? These
national feelings had ought to have
nothing whatever to do with the lit
tie girls musical ability.
In order to understand and know
something Of the true artist such as
you heard last night, you must first
have sat in some Of the leading
theatres of Italy, Spain, France, Ger
many, England or New York. Now If
you have not had this experience you
must not reply to this letter. Now If
YOU are a student of music or a
teacher of the same in this city, you
will learn one Of your great lessons by
hearing that little woman at the
Grand. Get rid Of the idea that you
must hate the woman because she Is
a Spaniard, or sing in that language.
II she is a Spaniard she is not to
blame for that, she can not help it, 1t
is no fault of yours that you were
born an American. You cannot help
1t any more than can help being born
an American of Irish parents. You
should not hate Napoleon because he
was a Frenchman or a Corsican. You
should not hate Jack Johnson, the
champion pugilist Of the world, be-
cause he is an American or colored
man, he can't help it, though these
things are too often done. was

Ancient Skates,

Az to whether he was fishing with
his improyised tackle, they have the
word OF the police and some neigh

Actions Lead to Arrest
At any rate, Professor Syns was at

told her a naked man was sitting on

Mrs. Conterno telephoned to DIR. Park

him to have something done with his

Art in Plaster Work

Frank A. Forbes, Medicine
Lodges expert plaster and gypsum
and cement artist, completed the
most elaborate job of work last
week that he has ever handled west
of Chicago. 1t was w. D: Mack.
ey's job at1Kiowa. This is prob
ably the most costly house in Bar
Der county. We are informed that
the aggregate cost will overleach
$4,000. 1t contains over 1870
yards of wall and ceiling. Mr..
Mackey had intended to secure a
plasterer from Wichita but he
heard of Mr.. Forbes fine work on
several houses In this city and after
inspecting sample of his work,
concluded. that he could. not better
it anywhere and hence contracted
the job to our townsman.
There are twelve rooms in the
house, not including, 6 closets, 2
bath rooms and Railways on each
floor. All of these rooms, except
ing the bath rooms and three 9TH
ers, have the brown sand finish
which is a late effect in home
building. The sand used is screen
ed several times and made very
fine SO that the walls are made as
smooth as glass. The dining room,
kitchen and one bed room are wal
led in imitation rock four and one
half feet up from the floor. This
is made out of gypsum, the pro-
duct of the plant in this city, and
is perfect appearance of natural
stone. The remainder of the walls
are white coated. The bath rooms
are gypsum tiling and white coat,
and also present most attractive
appearance.
Mr.. Forbes is entitled to be
proud of this job and it is a great
advertisement for him. He also
did some fancy work on the new
houses recently built by O. P. T.
Ewell and L. w. Fox in the same
city, equally as skillful but not so
much in quantity. The owners of
the properties are more than pleas
ed with Mr.. Forbes's work and he
will probably be called to our
neighbor town often.

In DR.. Kocielps case, there was
a compromise without going to
trial. In the outset DR.. KocielI
had great deal of nerve and an
nounced that he would fight the
case to a finish but on the morning
set for trial he got "cold feet" and
sent for terms. The county attor-
ney and the city officials conferred
with the Doctors attorneys, Messrs.
Griffin and Martin, and it was
agreed that a plea of guilty would
be entered on two counts, that of
maintaining a nuisance and of ac-
tual sales. There were number of
other counts against him and they
were dismissed.
Judge Gillett assessed a fine of
500 and 80 days in the county
Jail on each count, and extended
parole to take effect after DR..
Kociell serves 80 days in jail. DR..
Kociell paid the fine and costs as
soon as sentence was pronounced.
They amounted to $22o45. He
