A Kansas man tells of music hall in a town of that state which bore the unenviable reputation of possessing absolutely the worst band anywhere On one occasion 'headliner" from Chicago had been promised by the management for q turn" and conse- quently the hall was packed to the doors. When. however. the time had come for the "headliner" 10 appear in- stead of tf,t eagerly awaited attrac- fion the audience was astounded to see the agitated manager come before the curtain holding telegram in his hand.

 Al this dead silence followed. which was finally broken by man in the gallery.

Strenuous. Method. of Healing.

Papuan medicine men are regarded with great respect by the natives. Those I have met certainly seemed en- ergetic and hardworking. They sit close to the patient. massaging the seat of pain with much vigor. and. while they are thus rubbing. make noise with their lips rather like that which a groom makes when rubbing down q horse. The process Is a tiring one. and the medicine man stops at inter rals to drink hot water in which taro has been boiled His object is to ex- tract some mysterious foreign sub stance from the sick mans body. and If he succeeds in this he receives a fee: otherwise he gets nothing. No cure no pay" is apparently the Pa puan sufferers motto. Wide World Magazine.

Unexpected Appreciation.

An odd aneedote is told about the "Reverie and Caprice For Violin and Orchestra" by Berlioz. a composition which partakes largely of the remarka- ble character that belongs to most of the works of that famous French mu sician It was being performed at Leipzig by one of the greatest of Ger man violinists. and Berlioz and Men delssohn were both present.
 After the piece was ended. amid the most enthusiastic applause, the violin fist turned to Mendelssohn and whis- pered: "I am glad enough l have got through it. for 1 never had such a task in my life I have not the remotest idea what l have been playing or what the piece can be about"
 Scarcely were the words out of the bewildered fiddler's mouth when Der lioz exclaimed to Mendelssohn: "Never have heard my composition so divine iy rendered. Never have l heard an artist who has so completely caught my meaning and So wonderfully inter preted it."

 But when the whistle sounded again he was like another man. Clinton had the south goal this time. and clearly the quarterback saw girl in orange swinging a pennant in the grand stand. Already the throngs had forgotten his luke in the hope of victory in the second half
 At the Kickoff Thornton sent the pigskin seventy yards down the field and then plunged into the game with ferocious energy He determined to redeem himself or perish in the at tempt.
 Back and forth over the field surged the teams. while thousands shouted encouragement.
 Neither eleven seemed able to break down the defense of the other until toward the end of the half. when Clinton began to come up the field steadily
 Thornton. his head clear as bell. was playing at frightful pace. giving Darnall no time to catch it's breath after each attack. But thirty yards from the zeal line: narnall braced itself heroically and stood like q stone wall.
 "Only one more minute 10 play. called the umpire, and the crowds took up the shout
 Thornton realized that in so short time line plunges would he futile. There was only one hope of victory. another drop kick for goal While only twenty yards away. the goal posts were of to the left at an oblique angle.
 There was about one chance in a dozen of putting the ball between them, but Thornton took 1t. He stood back of the line ready to call the sig nal. and the Darnall eleven, seeing Ii was to be kick. got ready to plunge through and break up the play.
 Then suddenly the quarterback. look ing directly between the goal posts. saw Leta Tn the grand stand in an at

 He stepped back few yards. and with his eye riveted on the figure in orange he gave the signal in clear. sharp tones. Three. double two. eley- en"
 The ball struck his outstretched hands and as ha dropned if he shot out his right foot The next second a big Darnali guard leaped over the line and struck Thornton head-on. sending him reeling senseless twenty feet from the spot where he was hit.
 But the big man was half second too late. for Thorntons toe had caught the ball squarely, and 1t went flying straight as bullet between the goal posts and up into the grand stand. fall ing almost at Leta s feet
 A wild. deafening yell of joy broke over the field. but the quarterback did not hear 1t. Ten minutes later when he came to, a girl was bathing his fore head. and he caught the glow of her bright brown dress. The crowd fell back respectfully.
 Don't worry Thornton, dear boy" she whispered. T saw you looking at me when you made that wonderful kick. and I know now how much mean to you''
