Waltz Is Not Modern.

Many people labor under the I'm
preston that the waltz is Of modern
origin, owing to the fact that 1t was
comparatively unknown In America or
in England until the early part of the
nineteenth century. But II was brought
originally from Provence to the court
of Henry III. Of France, at Fontaine-
bleau, by the Comte de Saulte. Mary,
queen of Scots, imported II into Scot
land, for history records her as hav-
ing incurred the bitter wrath and fierce
denunciation of John Knox and Of 9TH
er divines of the ''land of cakes" for
dancing Il on one memorable occasion
ut the palace OF Holyrood. Toward
the end of the seventeenth century 1t
was danced throughout southern Ger
many and Austria, the celebrated waltz
tune and popular song. 20. Du Lieber
Augustln," dating from 1870. But, as
already stated, II was not until the first
two decades of the nineteenth century
that II made its first appearance In
England and the United States. when
II was alternately denounced and laud-
ed by the poets OF the epoch.

Mr.. Barrie's Page.

j. M. Barrie, the popular novelist
and playwright, glorified tobacco more
than once, but on certain occasion he
tried to induce q smoker to desist. 1t

the youth left without giving notice,
and shortly afterward Mr.. Barrie
brought some friends to his fat. Prom
ising them a special treat, he went to

very choice cigars. You can imagine
his chagrln when he discovered that
the cigars had vanished, and In their
place was the page boys clay pipe and
the following note: ij

YANTIC TO HAVE REAL
GUNS FOR TARGET WORK

The navy department has decided to
equip the Don Juan de Austria and
Yantlc with four-inch guns for target
purposes. Officially the cannon will be
used for target practice, but the anna
teur sailors providing crews for the
two fighting craft know that the real
purpose is to knock the stuffing' out
of some other country some day. They
do not care very much what country
provides the targets.
The Don Juan is the training ship of
the Detroit naval reserves. while the
Yantic is the training ship of the Han
cock and Escanaba reserves and is sta
toned at Hancock. The Yantic left
recently for Detroit where she will be
overhauled and improved during the
winter
Besides the new guns there will be
80 at sub target guns for the armories
of the naval militia organizations.
This action is in accordance with rec
concentrations made at "a meeting of
naval militia officials held i'm Wash
ington last spring, when the rlaneuv-
ers for last summer were planned.
Nothing has been learned by officers
of the Hancock naval reserve division
relative to the Yantic since the ship
left here on Sunday afternoon. A pos
tai card received from one of the men
on board however mentioned the ar
rival OF the ship at the 500 on Mon
day, and stated thar they would leave
there for Detroit. While the repairs
to the ship are being made, it is like
ly that the new guns will be placed on
board and be brought back by the
Yantic when she returns to Hancock
next summer.
