A BUpoAH OF ILL LUCK.

An example of the malevolent in fluences of an inanimate object upon the fortunes of it's possessors similar to the Hope diamond is recorded by Lady Dorothy Nevill in her "Reminis- cences." From the day a miniature Buddah from Burmah of charming workmanship entered her house every thing went amiss. Its installation in the drawing room was followed by a perfect avalanche of catastrophes."
 Within week son failed in busi- ness. Household pets came to tragic ends. A favorite pony was suddenly paralyzed-and this on the very eve of an election in which it was to as sist by conveying conservative voters to the poll''-frOm which it is to be inferred that the Buddha was not favorable to tbe Tory party. A few days later a neighboring chimney crashed down upon wing of Lady Dorothy's house. doing much damage. Shortly afterward the Buddha was sent on loan to the India museum where after some minor disturbances it settled quietly down and has since remained.-London Chronicle.

 CT of Mrs. Stewart, are recent arrivals from Hutchinson, Kas. Mrs. Arthur is also q sister of Mrs. Josephine Lund and has visited here before. They all come with the intention of making this their home if they are satisfied and it looks very much as though they would be. Still, MT Stewart says Phoenix will have to get up and travel to beat old Hutchinson which he still considers a good town and did not leave it in disgust. He reserves the right to go back there again if he wants to.

MISS DUNAWAY TO RETURN
Expected Home This Week and Will Give
New Reading at Early Date.

Miss Hettie J. Dunaway, who
has spent the past winter in Boston,
and is just completing a month s
tour through North Carolina and
Tennessee, will return to her home
in Conway this week and will give
her new entertainment, THE Lady
of the Decoration, y at Central Col
lege at an early date.
Miss Dunaway has had splen-
did success in Boston during the
winter. The press notices of her
appearances in that city are most
f1attering. The Herald of March
p presents her portrait with a very
complimentary notice of her work
and the Globe, Journal, Post and
Brookline Press each highly prais-
ed her entertainments. She is par
ticularly proud of the following
criticism which appeared in the
Transcript; by Philip Hale, who
bears the reputation of being the
most noted dramatic critic in
America:
Many in the large audience at
Haynes Hall last evening for Miss
Hettie J. Dunaway's reading OF
The Lady of the Decoration"
were doubtless admirers of Frances
Little's story and to them it was a
double pleasure to see the characters
visualized. Miss Dunaway, tai
ented Arkansas girl, who is spend
ing the winter studying in Boston
has arranged nearly a dozen scenes
with appropriate costumes and mu-
sic, and her impersonation of the
popular little japanese tale was ex-
ceedingly clever and interesting.
She has an excellent sense OF
humor and an equal capacity for
expressing the more tender emo
tons"

Obituary..
April Is

The death angel visited our
home on April 8 and took from us
our sweet little Nathan Edward
aged 20 months and rs days, after
a brief illness. He was only with
us a short time, but a more loving
child could not have been found ,
just beginning to talk and trying to
be of some help to his papa and
mama. This is bright, glad j,
beautiful world, yet its attractions
are now unnoticed by us, for grim,
merciless death has snatched from
us our baby. Our sky is hung with
somber cloud curtains and our
vision is overcast with gloom. every
sound that strikes Our ears carries
with it cadence of despair. The
only consolation that we have is
the sweet realization that our
beloved one is at peace, that our
treasure is in heaven, and that it
will be only little while until we
cross the dark river and join our
little one among the hosts of the
saved on the other shore.
We had a little treasure once,
He was our JOY and pride.
We loved him, oh, perhaps too we'll
For soon be slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today
For the one we loved SO dearly
Has forever passed away.
His papa and mamma,
Joe and Minnie Hiett.

CHOPIN FATHER OF PIANO
Was the First Great Musician t
Show the Possibilities of the
instrument.

Constantin Won Sternburg, a mu-
stefan and scholar of Philadelphia,
recently said in a lecture, which he
illustrated with selections from
Chopin's works, that before the time
of that composer the piano was the
Cinderella among solo instruments,
used and esteemed solely for its
great utility, but never suspected tc
possess a poetic beauty of its own,
Bach and Beethoyen's works (tc
mention only these two giants
make little or no use Of that material
charm that lies in the tone quality
of the piano when they are not alb
stractly musical, their works suggest
at every turn the orchestra and ad-
NIT easily of being orchestrated
while Chopin's music defies all such
attempts, except in the few cases
where he purposely initiated the
brass band, as in the Funeral
March" and the "Polonaise Mill
taire." Chopin's art is welded tc
that Cinderella to which he was the
prince that was not deceived by its
humbleness, but made it the peer
if, indeed, not the superior-of all
solo instruments. And in discover
ing its poetic possibilities and ex-
ploring its resources he has widened
its technique to an extent never
known before and never surpassed
since.
