said. produced THE Raven" while sit.
ting at the bedside OF his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote OF
Verdi. told by Carlo Ceccarelli, will
suffice.
On one occasion, when Verdi was
engaged on his well-known opera, "n
lroVatore, he stopped short at the
passage Of the "Miserere," being at a
loss to combine notes of sufflcient
sadness and pathos to express the
grief Of the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano in the deem
stiffness of the winter night, his i'm.
aglnation wandered back 10 the stormy
days of his youth. endeavoring to ex.
tract from the past a plant, a groan.
like those which escaped from his
breast when he saw himself forsaken
blythe world. All in vain!
One day. at Milan. he was unex.
pectedly called to the bedside Of q
dying friend, one of the few who had
remained faithful to him in adversity
and prosperity. Verdi. at the sight OF
his dying friend. felt a lump rise in
MS throat; he wanted to weep, but so
intense was his grief that not a tear
nowed to the relief of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood a piano.
VERDI under one OF those sudden i'm.
pulses to which men of genius are
sometimes subject. sat down at the
instrument. and there and then i'm.
proVlsed the sublime "Miserere" of
'ne lrovatore." The musician had
gwen utterance to his grief.

JUSTICE HAD LONG MEMORY
The Late David Brewer Said to Have
Recalled Tragic Incident Of
Thlrty-FIve Years Aao.

Many years ago the late Justice
Brewer of the Supreme court was a
county judge in frontier Kansas
travelling one day In a stage coach.
he met young man who, accom-
panied by his wife and red-headed
two-year-old boy, was just moving into
the state. The Judge became ac,
quainted with the father and mother
and insisted-for the austere Judge Of
later years was in those days a mighty
good politician-that that boy was a
fine chap, who would surely make his
mark In the world. The proud parents
beamed appreciation, and the Judge
reached for the infant and took him
on his lap. Instantly there was in.
surrection. The prodigy did not pro.
pose to be jollied by an old chap out
looking for votes. He kicked the
Judge viciously, and finally, reaching
out very determined little paw,
scratched off three burrows of skin,
and there was great concern and a
very small trif1e Of real bloodshed.
Thirty-odd years passed, and one
night at a White House reception
Judge Brewer walked up to a young
man and asked:
Pardon me, but am Justice Brew.

dock OF your own state of Kansas,
and ! am very glad to meet you, sir"
replied the young man. ..
We'll" said the Judge, II was sure
you were the one. You're the red.
headed brat that scratched all the
skin on my face in the stage coach
near Wichita about thirty-five years
ago. Young man, you're in contempt
OF court, and II you ever get before
me In due judicial form I'll make you
smart for it. Why, I'm strongly
minded to take you and spank you for
1t right now. You look to me lust

Cupid And Cost OF Living.

The relation between the cost Of
living and the activity in the is
suance Of marriage licenses is re-
cognized as intimate even though
the economists may not be able to
express the subtle fact in a mathe-

no doubt that Cupid keeps an eye
on the market prices Of provisions,
even though he may have little use
for the tailor
There can be no doubt that this
sprightly promoter OF felicity has
abandoned the old fallaey. entieing
but illusory, that two persons can
live as cheapiy as can one. Per-
