CT address to the imagination: the vivid and faithful representation of. geo. graphic traits-the communication of particular atmosphere and environment; :; or the suggestion of a mood or aspect of nature which has no specific relation to the map? D'Indy's mountain under various summer aspects might be in the Tyrol or in New Hampshire; Loef- fier's Pool might be in Normandy or in Massachusetts; the spring time land scape of which Debussy signs might be in England or in Brittany or in Bo- hemia, or 1t might be visible from the window of the dweller in a New Jer- sey suburb. To write music that aims to be specifically and definitely local is necessarily, to commit oneself to the employment of rhythms, melodic forms, orchestral colors. that may or may not be congenial to ones own habit of ar tistic speech: their employment Is all most inevitably a tour de force, rather than spontaneous utterance of per sonal vision and emotion. To write with the deliberate intention of suggesting a particular section of the map Is to bind oneself to more or less rigir formulas. If you would impart sense of Spain you are bound to employ certain dance rhythms. certain instrumental timbres, which are as inevitable in any tonal representation of Spain as are the tour fst cap, the monocle. and the gaiters In the costume of the stage Englishman of ancient farce. They are expected and inescapable and as not every com poser who elects to tell us of Spain Is suited by natural affinity to employ happily the musical idioms that are as- sociated with 1t. there is nothing sur prising in the fact that he should pro- duce music which interests and enter tains us as an exercise, relatively suc- Cftt1 orr fy,ff 10 ~akI IT., us as an expression of some profound and Individual conviction of the love- liness or the majesty or the pathos of the natural world-the natural world that Is outside the influence or manners and customs and boundary lines.

TO TRY
 ANYTHING ONCE

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 A career of experimentation in which Theodore Jajoinboske has taken all of the joys of life on trial is about to he brought to climax when he will be made defendant in another trial-this time for contempt of court and attempted murder
 Jajoinbocke. who lives across the alley from his one time wife in Roundout, H., has taken as many experiences on trial as there are syllables in his name.
 Up to the present they may be classi- fled as follows:
 Tried marriage for two years.
 Tried trial divorce for one year, liv- ing across the alley from his wife.
 Tried permanent divorce and erected a high stone fence on his side of the alley.
 Tried beating his former wife with the blunt side of an ax in violation of a court injunction. resulting in his arrest and present difficulties.
 Jajoinboske's real court divorce was se- cured about six weeks ago. His exist ence ran along in a desultory manner until last Monday, when he broke open the door of his former wifes house, beat her with the blunt side of an ax and threatened to kill her.
 But I've got an injunction preventing you from doing this," exclaimed the frightened woman.
 "Shucks No court can stop me-" ex- claimed Jajoinboske
 He finally retreated to his own domain, laid in sstock of weapons and bricks to be used in defensive warfare, and locked himself in his garret.
 He might have been occupying this point of vantage had he not decided to administer another series of disciplinary measures to his former wife.
 While he was shining over his stone wall several deputy sheriffs rushed out from their concealment and arrested him, charging him with violation of an in- junction and attempted murder.

 ."An experiment In which all teachers of the deaf are much interested Is the admission of two young women, one totally the other partially deaf, to the training course for nurses at Mercy hospital, Kansas City. Up to date these deaf under graduate nurses are doing their work well, and the physicians say they are capable of finishing the course
 There were five applicants for the training course, but three failed to quail fly in educational requirements. Of course, the deaf will never be able to compete with the hearing as nurses. Certain lines of work will be beyond their capacity; but they will be ad- mirably fitted for institutional work. where the demand for help is always ahead of the supply"

in the Fourth ward, would not have
felt so bad, but they had to come

DR.. r. L. Kennedy then told OF q
herd OF cattle on Trumbull-ave.,
climbing upon the radiator OF his
automobile and doing over $40 dam

of cattle trampled his lawn, and
when his wife went to talk to the
drovers, they used indecent language.
"If I had been there, one OF those
drovers would have been shot," said
the doctor.
The Rev. A. Homrighaus. pastor or
the Messiah Lutheran church, west
Grand blvd and Toledo-ave., said he
was tired OF cattle executing fancy
steps In his yard, and wanted the
ordinance passed and enforced.
At the suggestion Of Aid. Garvey
the ordinance was amended 80 az TO
allow driving of cattle through the
streets only between the hours OF

that at least four persons 60 with

that the men now accused are limo

But the manner In which John Nc
Namara and his alleged confederates
were arrested and spirited to Califor-

believe the men innocent. We know
them. But In raising q fund for their
defense We are not countenancing their
