Mr.. SMITH STILL GUESSING
Mystery Of Letter Of Introduction Re-

Seems Afar OF.

When a local professional man.

call some time ago from a stranger
bearing a letter of Introduction from
his friend Brown, Mr.. Smith gave the
man cordial welcome. For Mr..
Brown Is a close friend of Mr.. Smith
and he felt that any one recommended
by him must be worthy of the highest
esteem. He therefore laid himself out
to be agreeable and helpful. in COM
pliance with Browns note. The
stranger, whose name was Green,
proved to be most agreeable on bet
ter acquaintance, and soon he and Mr..
Smith became fast friends. About this
time Mr.. Smith and his new friend
CHANGED to meet upon the street their
mutual friend. Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Smith
grasped the hand of Mr.. Brown, greet
ed him warmly. and entered into con-
versation. Soon he noted that neither
Brown nor Green displayed the slight
est sign of recognition.
Good gracious!" he thought. have
they quarreled?"
But furtive glance showed him no
trace of anger in either. and he was
more nonplused than ever. At last he
could endure the awkward situation
no longer.
Gentlemen" he explained. surely
you two are acquainted?"
No. said Brown; haven't had the
honor"
NO" echoed Green: haven't had
the pleasure"
We'll. I'll be swizzled!" said Mr..
Smith. Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Green.

Which they did.
And now, dear reader, II you can
figure out the answer, please inform

that is what he has been trying to
find out ever since.-Pittsburg Gazette

There are several details to be tn

We have the conclusion, then. that
It is not all of speed madness to make
unsafe highways. II can and does
produce also the treacherous romance,
leading to the dash in haste which Is
to be repented at leisure after the
power Is off. The obvious need for
safety is of a common sense so quick

there is a greater than the third

describing his visit to a CONSTANT

Some kind Of ceremony was in
progress when we arrived, but, as
usual In such places, we did not mind.
We went right In just the same, and
our guides, too, and we talked and
pointed and did what we could to
break up the services. Old turbaned
sons u the prophet were kneeling and
bowling and praying here and there,
and were a good deal in the way,
sometimes we fell over them, but we
we're charitably disposed and did not
kick them-at least | didn't, and |
don't think any of the party did. We
might kick dog-kick at him, |
mean-if we tripped over one, but we
do not kick Moslem-not live one.
We only take his picture and step on
him and muss him up, and make
few notes and go.
Il have been wondering what
would happen to a party of tourists
-Moslems. for instance-who broke
into an American church during serv-
ices, with guides to point and explain,
and stared at the people who were
saying their prayers and talked them
over as II. they were wax figures. An
American congregation would be an
noyed by mob like that, and would
remove II and put IL In the calaboose
But then such thugs wouldn't happen
in America. We have cowed our
foreign visitors. Besides, there is
nothing In an American church that
a foreigner would care to scout

AT Powers 'Theater.

Among the famous singers OF the
present day-and of the past three de-
cades-no name shines more brilliantly
than that of Nine. Marcella Sembrich,
who comes TO Powers Opera House
in Grand Rapids, Friday evening,
Nov. %. In the days to come never
TO have heard Nine. Sembrich will
be deemed as great a misfortune as a
neglected opportunity to have heard
Jennie Lind or Adelina Patti. To the
student Of music Nine Sembrich's
singing has ever been an inspiration;
TO the critic it has been accepted as
the very acme of bel canto, while TO
the casual music lover and the gen
eral public it always has been an un-
failing source of wonder and delight.
Never has Mime. Sembrich been in
better voice than at present and never
have critics united in paying her
greater homage.
Marcella Sembrich was born at Wis
newezyk, Poland. Her father, vio-
linist and self-taught pianist, started
TO teach her piano playing when she
was four years old, and at the age of
six she began TO study the violin.
Ko<hansky was very poor and little
Marcella had To begin TO earn her own
living at the age of twelve. An old
Pole named Lanowitch took a great
interest in her, and sent her to the
conservatory at Leopel, and there she
began her advanced studies under
Wilhelm Stengel, who for four years
taught her the works of Bach, Beetho-
ven, Mozart, Chopin, Mendelssohn and
other great masters.
On her present tour Nine. Sembrich' s
accompanist is Mr.. Frank LaForge,
who stands in the foremost ranks of
American pianists. Mail order tickets

that some very interesting discov-

of excavation work around the island
of Lido in Venice, where number Of
ancient pieces of artillery have been
found beneath six feet Of mud, says
the London Globe. The cannon are
all In a state of excellent preserva-
ton, though II is clear from their con-
struction that they must date back
to a period almost Immediately after
the discovery of gunpowder and it is
believed that they will prove of very
great artistic and historic value.
