A wideIy-known clergyman was o.ie

AZ the lady, was crouched at her feet
with his head in her lay, looking fol
al, the world like poor friendiess dog
that had sought comfort OF the nearest

Se deeply touched by this unhappy
spectacle was the good divine that he
approached the wretohed couple and
inquired Of the woman in his NEST
sympathetic tones whether there was
any assistance he could render.
The woman shook her head, sadly,
murmurIrg, "lhefe III none, thanks
Then, after moments pause, the
clergyman suggested:
Perhaps, then, | may be Of some
service to your husband here:'t
Without so much as moving Der
head, the unfortunate merely glanced
ind,fierentIy at the bead in her lap.
Then, IN tone indicating her lack OF
interest In Der ecmfanion in misery,
she replied family:

know who he is.

AUGUSTA COTTLOw,
 GREAT PIANIST, COMING

So seldom does a great virtuoso visit Montgomery that the appearance of Augusta Cottlow, the eminent pianist, Monday evening, 18th, should be con- sidered a gala occasion to every one in- terested in music and its development. Miss Cottlow has been winning unstint- ed praise everywhere she has played this season, and recently created a perfect furore of enthusiasm in New Orleans, Jacksonville. St. Augustine and other Southern cities.
 The Chicago Examiner of February IS says: To-day she stands in the front rank of the pianists of the world" That she Is so rated should be a matter of national pride, in that she is American born. and has with her splendid art added laureIs to the work of Americas greatest composer. Mcdowell.
 The Musical Leader and Concert Goer says: "To say that Augusta .Cottlow's technical equipment Is so compelte as to take rank with the greatest, is trite, since everyone knows that 1t Is of limpid purity and that there Is noth- ing worth while in piano literature that she has not accomplished. She has temperamental qualities. artistic intelligence and a nobility of thought: all of these she gave the Mcdowell Sonata in such a manner as to win for the work admiration and enthusiasm. for she played superbly."
 She plays with a great delicacy of touch in the pianissino passages that is so often lacking in a soloist who is also capable of such astonishing strength and virility.
