woodland sounds faithfully trying to
translate to human ear the profusion
of rhythmic vibrations with which this
spot was filed. AS his violin responded
to his touch and some over-sweet
melody would come stealing forth, his
eyes would light with pleasure, to die
away again as he felt he had not yet
reached that full richness of the wan
dering chord.
One day, seated upon the boulder be-
low the waterfall in the glow of the
afternoon watching the play of the
dancing sunlight upon the mists, his
violin seeking to meet the harmony or
nature, his thoughts intent upon the
old legend he saw slowly emerging
from the spray a beautiful form, at
first but half defined, like a gossamer
veil, weaving about slowly, gracefully
as it swayed in the gentle breeze.
Gradually as the music became
stronger and more confident, as though
throwing aside any timidity or reserve,
this misty form took definite shape
and a beautiful maiden stepped out
upon the rocks before him. Slowly she
approached, at the same time his violin,
without effort on his part, seemed to
find the lost chord of the Mike and
the soul thrilling strains of heavenly
lovelness broke the stiffness of the
mountain glen. Entranced, he looked
upon her, all his hopes, all his ambi-
tions and all his aspirations attained.
She beckoned to him, he followed her
into the mists of the waterfalls, into
the rainbow, into the laughing water.
into a country of beauty, peace and
content And he knew that once with
her. his soul was the soul of the world.
The little waterfall splashed and
gurgled. the rainbow vanished as the
evening shadows fell. Night came on
and the night birds uttered their plain
tive cries. Yet still he sat. his violin
at his feet, his arm at his side and his
face turned in rapture toward the
splashing. dancing falls. Peace and
rest were mirrored there. And thus
they found him in the morning light
He had found his soul, the Mike Chord.

fall secluded in the glen far up in the
mountains back of the village. Here,
to the music of the ripping, splashing
water as 1t fell and tumbled down It's
stony bed, seated upon a great boulder
just below the little falls, he would
play for hours, seemingly calling from
the msts the people of his dreams
through the power of his music. The
picture was one of enchantment with
the shadows chasing the rainbows in
the spray, and into this would Eric
gaze while his violin furnished the
music for their fairy dance. Lost In
deep abstraction he was oblivious to
all but catching the every detail of the
picture.
Love had never entered the heart
of this strange and restless scion OF
the Viking race, at least such love as
is usually understood. True, he seemed
to be in love with some unseen and
unknown lady, perhaps some fairy or
his dreams. No ambition, such as is
known and recognized by those who
pass their lives within the sound of the
call of the world seemed to stir his
breast. yet ambition he had, but 1t was
to catch and bring forth into the world
of sound that strange and fleeting
melody told in fable and which ira
dition said was lost, the mystic chord
of the Mike. Among the rich collec-
tions of old Morse legends is the one
about the Mike Chord, said to be the
soul of the whispering trees, the bah
bling brook, the signing of the winds
and expressed in an enchanting strain
sung by a beautiful maiden who dwells
in the mists of the waterfalls, and to
him who is able to catch that strain
she will appear. 1t is the Lost Chord,
and the one that has eluded the
greatest artist who has ever attempted
to discover her secret. These wonder
full strains are said to be able to trans
late him who is able to catch its subtle
vibrations to the land of the sylph and
the fairy and introduce him into the
beauties of the unseen world.
So for hours Eric would sit on his
favorite stone and commune with the

SOME CURIOUS SPOONS

Nowadays we are familiar with all
manner and shapes of spoons intended
for divers purposes, but some of the
old-fashioned ones are merely curiosi-
ties. For instance, there is the old
marrow spoon, used by our grand
parents for extracting marrow from
bones. This spoon was made double
one end being employed for small
bones and the other for those OF larger
bore
Another old spoon was that used for
mulberries. This had a perforated
bowl and a spiked and pointed handle,
and was employed in day when null
berries were more commonly eaten than
they are at the present time. With the
perforated bowl a little sugar was
sprnkled on the berry, which was then
conveyed to the mouth on the spiked
end of the handle.
Very few caddie-spoons are seen
these days Tea-caddies of the old
fashioned type have long since gone
their way. and with them disappeared
the caddie-spoon.
The snuff. candle and pap spoons are
others that have long ago gone out
of use.

EASY

A New York poet. at the Authors
club in Seventh avenue told this Conan
Doyle story:
"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" he said,
"sat at dinner. on his last visit here,
beside a lady who asked leave to con-
suit him about some thefts.
"'My detective powers he replied,
are at your service, madam
"'Well.' said the lady, frequent and
mysterious thefts have been occurring
at my house for a long time. Thus
there disappeared last week a motor
horn, a broom, a box of golf balls, a
left riding boot. dictionary and half
dozen tin pie plates
"'Aha,' said the creator of Sherlock
Holmes the case, madam, is quite
clear. You keep a goat"

TEACHER DIDN'T CALL HIM THAT

Mickey's mother visited a young
school teacher on the east side the
other day, says the New York Sun. AS
nearly as she could make out from the
mothers splutterings the teacher had
been calling Mickey names that no
lady would use and no dacint mother
would stand for" The teacher thought
hard, but could recollect no time when
she had given way to an impulse to call
Mickey dreadful names.
Sure but you did," insisted the
mother "I don't know what you meant
by 1t, but scurvy elephant Is no nice
name to call boy. That's what he
said you called him, scurvy elephant"
"Scurvy elephant No." said the
teacher in a relieved voice, II didn't
call Mike a scurvy elephant / called
him a disturbing element, and I re-
iterate my statement"
Mickey's mother went home partially
satisfied. but not quite sure that the
teacher hadn't been calling her names,
too.

Of German That is probably how came to make such an inconsiderate remark"
 Mrs. Robinson laughed lightly "Fm proud of my Germanic origin" she said. But it has never happened be- fore that any one guessed it so accur- ately as you did
 Then the conversation drifted to other matters. But Mrs. Brown re- membered, and on the way home she said to her husband How did you guess Mrs. Robinson is German?"
 Nearly got my foot in it. didn't I?" said her husband. throwing out his chest little. But it was clever de- tective work on my part. Did you see how she poured tea? No? We'll. she lifted the pot high and poured it so that bubbles formed in the cup. She got that gesture from pouring beer. or seeing it poured, so as to get a head. That made me think she was German. Of course she might have been some other nationality, but the Germans take most care in pouring their beer, and do it most artistieally, SO-"
 But his wife interrupted him How does it happen" she demanded, that you know so much about the art of pouring beer?" And though she con- tinued to question him all the way home and for considerable time after

Neither gen. tleman could say positively what the rates would be from main line points but both are enthusiastic and will publish the information just as soon as they can.
 Both gentlemen will arrange to have tickets on sale in time for travellers to reach Phoenix the day before the meeting begins. good for return trip until the 11th. Mir. Hastings spoke of Prescott's experience during the Los Angeles meeting. in a way that makes the outlook for Phoenix more inspiriting than ever He said the aviation fad is only now taking hold of the people. The Los Angeles meet ing created but little excitement in Prescott at first and the special rate tickets were made for early expira- tion. After the news came back from Los Angeles the people begun to get excited. and after the special rate limit had expired at least ten full fare tick cts were sold to those who went t. Los Angeles for the last day or two Of the meeting. not previously having any notion of going. He said the Los Angeles meeting was merely a fine advertisement for the business and he believes Phoenix will have bigger success than if she had held the first meeting. People will come who would never have been induced to only for the big noise made over on the coast And the fact that Hamilton. Curtiss and Willard. all of whom were star performers there. will participate here. will surely draw their patronage
 Respecting the probability of large attendance. there is every indication
Arizona republican., 1910-01-29

that the event is already well adver- tised. The town has a reputation for doing things when it starts and the news that Phoenix is to have a meet ing is now well known all over the territory. Nat Reiss yesterday re- ceived letters from Tucson asking for the reservation of rooms. MT. Cater received letter from the railroad agent at Silverbell saying that a hum A travelling man from Fl Paso says everybody down the line between here and Fl Paso is talking about the avia- tion meet in Phoenix. It is not going to be matter of getting the people but of seeing that they get proper treatment while they are here and it is up to every citizen to do his part in treating the visitors hospitably
 Elliot Evans. chairman of the fi- nance committee, went to Los Angeles last evening. and-during his absence A. R. Cater will serve as chairman.
 Acting Governor Young yesterday issued a proclamation recommending that the afternoons of the 10th, 11th and 18th be regarded as holidays that all Phoenix may turn out and witness the performances at the fair grounds. be until after the meeting, the all- absorbing topic. not alone in Phoenix but in all Arizona

THE GESTURE GAVE HER AWAY
But How Did the Clever Detective Know So Much About Pour
 ing Beer?

'I see your wife is German" re- marked Brown casually.
 Robinson looked up in surprise. Why he said, how did you guess that? She was born in this country, and has neither trace of accent or German idiom.''
 Brown laughed a little confusedly ''I just guessed it," he answered. Tt was-well. maybe it was that I thought she had Teutonic features"
 Robinson looked first at his wife and then at Brown. That is cruious, 9 he said. She is more often taken for d person of French extraction. Her people are from the Rhine district. you know. and as she is dark and slight very few would think she was German. In the popular mind that type is fair and large"

OLDEST PIECE OF IRON IN
 EXISTENCE

What is claimed to be the oldest piece of iron in the world is on exhibition at the University of Penn sylvania as the result of the Third Eckley B. Coxe Jr. Epedition to Nu- bia" The story of the finding of this ancient relic. as well as a host of articles of immense archaeological value is told by pr. David Randall MacIver. curator of the Egyptian section of the archaeological mus cum of the university. The iron is in the form of a spearhead. This and other relicts were found in ex- cavations made in the ancient town of Behen. about eighty miles south of Anibeh. The iron spearhead was found in a grave of the twelfth dynasty. of the date of which scien lists are not sure. Some place it as early as 2s00 B. C.. but others at 200O B. C-Exchange.

BIG SALE OF SEATS FOR
STATE SOCIETIES. BANQUET
Younger Organizations Promise
Full Representation

The headquarters of the Federation Of
State Societies was rushed all day yes
terday with applicants for tickets tc
the federation banquet at Hamburger S
tomorrow night and purchasers kept
one clerk busy at each of the follow
ing places: The All Night and Day
bank. Security Savings bank, Fowler
Bros bookstore, SAB South Broadway,
and Hamburger's. Last night an espe-
cially large sale of tickets was made
at the All Night and Day bank.
The sale of tickets will close to-
night BY special arrangement with
Hamburger's cafe this late hour of
closing the placing of the tickets has
been provided for. The banquet man
ayers were anxious that everyone who
wished to attend the mammoth spread
should have the opportunity and an ex-
tension of time was secured.
There is much rivalry between the
state organizations with regard to the
number of representatives that will at
tend the banquet. Each society will
have a special table and each is
anxious that it's table be large and that
at it there be no empty seats. Strange
to say, some of the younger organiza-
tions are forging ahead of the old ones
in the race. The Alaska society,"
formed only recently, is unusually en-
thusiaStic.

THlRST-CRAZED MINER
Is FOUND ON DESERT

PHOENIX, June 15.-Stark mad from
exposure to the relentless beating rays
of the sun upon the desert south OF
town, an aged prospector, unidentified
as yet was picked up Sunday by two
Mexicans driving to Phoenix and
brought to the police station. How
long the man had been without water
is only a matter Of conjecture, but his
condition at the time he was found
was such as TO warrant the belief that
had he not been found death must
have closed his eyes forever in an
other hour.
His body was warm as the sand upon
which he was lying and nearly as dry,
and his tongue swollen and protrud-
ing. He was murmuring incoherent
phrases when he was picked up. 1t
seemed almost like an irony of fate
that the aged man had been able to
nearly reach the river where awaited
life sustaining draughts and had been
overcome
When he was brought to the police
station the officers there sent a hurry
call for DR. Tafel. When the ply
sician arrived he found the man sip
ping water drop by drop, but still un-
able to speak coherently or even give
his name. There was nothing in his
pockets giving the least clue to his
identity. He had two or three crack
ers which he seemed to have been
saving against the time when starYa-
tion was staring him In the face. 1t
is believed he will recover.
