On Swearing Off.

Say, boys. Are you getting
ready to "swear off, on some
bad habit on the first of the
new yearY DON do it. Don t
swear off. Just quit. Older men
will tell you that the worst mis-
take they ever made was when
they sOlemnly pledged themselves
to quit a certain bad habit. They
meant well but they did not go
at it in the right way. They open
ly announced that on certain
day they would quit the use of
tobacco or Intoxicating liquors.
But habit was powerful. and prct-
ty soon they fell back into the
old ways, and the fall robbed
them of their best capital in life
1t robbed them of confidence in
themselves and when a man loses
confidence in himself, he is pretty
certain to lose the confidence of
his associates. And so | say to

TANNING At COLUMBUS.

Cecil Tanning sang the baritone role
in Faust with the Theodore Thomas
Orchestra at the Columbus (Ohio)
May Festival on May 3. The Colum-
bus Dispatch said:
Cecil Tanning was rapturously re-
ceived by the audience, every one be-
ing glad to have the privilege of hear
ing him sing the splendid emotional
role of Valentine, made famous by SO
many opera artists.
1t was good to hear this warm color
full tone, and his very admirable re-
lating of the part. There is such dis
tinct sincerity in Mr.. Fanning's sing
ing that it rarely fails to deeply i'm
press his hearers.
Wonderful magnetism is his, and
his vocal messages are delivered with
positive JUNCTION.
1t is only matter of time until Mr..
Tanning will accept-indeed, he must
accept-a place in the Metropolitan
Opera Company, which he has several
times declined. -.'
His dramatic instinct is uncommon
and it is this intuitive feeling of the
sense of the text and it's musical val
ue that has made his artistic success.
Even his voice, which is of lovely quail
ity, and flawlessly produced, would
not have brought him into the public
favor he enjoys If he were not pos
sessed of great sympathy and dramat-
ic fervor.

WAGNER MEMOIRS
ARE VERY FRANK
Great Musician Devoted Sew
eral Pages to Suffering
of Pet Dog.

Especial Cable from the. International
News Service.1
Berlin. May 20.--One of the chief
characteristics of Wagner's memoirs,
the reading of which will prove most
fascinating and delightful to all, Is
the frankness with which he relates
his experiences. In describing the
days of his poverty there is no false
shame: in dealing with his own faults
he is unsparing. Two things are APP
parent-his absolute conviction that
he was called to great achievements.
and his implicit confidence in the guild
ance of higher power. His affection
for his little dog Pops, which died OF
commissions at the age of Is, is pleas
ant reading for lovers of animals.
Wagner devotes several pages to Peps'
sufferings. and his own reluctance to
terminate them by administering a
dose OF poison. The dog always slept
in a basket by his masters bedside
usually awakening him by paving at
him. One night, however, Wagner
was aroused by Pops groans. and the
dog expired soon after. The writer
says:
II looked at my watch, and the
death hour of the little friend who low
ed me with exaggerated devotion was
forever imprinted on my memory
ten minutes past one on July 10. We
dedicated the next day with bitterest
tears, to his funeral, our landlady CIV
ing us pretty corner in her garden.
where we buried him with his bas-
ket and cushions"
Four years later Wagner visited the
garden but found no trace of his
friends grave.
The narration of King Ludwig's ad-
miration and friendship for Wagner
is marked by an absence of all vanity,
but he is scathing in his expressions OF
indignation for the critics throughout.
After the second performance of the
Flying Dutchman" at Berlin, conduct
ed by himself. which was more Kissed
than applauded, Wagner accepted an

DON'T ARB|TRATE
THE HONOR OF US.
Roosevelt Opposes Binding
Country on Questions In
volying Its Integrity.

New York, May 20.-Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt has an article on The
Arbitration Treaty With Great Brit
ain" in the Outlook, in which he says
the United States ought never to bind
itself to arbitrate questions respecting
its honor. independence and integrity.
He says in part:
Between Great Britain and the
United States it is now safe to have a
universal arbitration treaty, because
the experience of ninety-six years has
shown that the two nations have
achieved that point of civilization
where each can be trusted not to do
the other any one of the offenses
which ought to preclude any self-re-
speeding nation from appealing to ar
bitration. But no language should be
used in the treaty which would tend to
obscure this cardinal fact, this cardi-
nal reason why the treaty is possible
and desirable.
Among private individuals the man
who, if his wife is assaulted and has
her face slapped, will go to law about
it. instead of forthwith furnishing the
offender. would be regarded with de-
rision. In just the same way the
United States ought never specifically
to bind itself to arbitrate questions re-
speeding its honor, independence and
integrity. Either it should be tacitly
understood that the contracting pow
ers no more agree to surrender their
rights on such vital matters than a
man in civil life agrees to surrender
the right of self-defense: or else it
should be explicitly stated that, be-
cause of the fact that it is now impos.
sible for either party to take any &C.
ton infringing upon the honor, inde-
pendence and integrity of the other,
we are willing to arbitrate all ques-
tions."
Mr.. Roosevelt refers to armed bodies
of Mexican trops having fired across
the boundary and killed or wounded
American citizens, and says:
I'm this case we have chosen to sub
NIT to such invasions, as is our right
duU privilege IL we 50 QeSiTG. but IL
would be absolutely intolerable to bind
ourselves to arbitrate the questions
raised by such invasions. II, for in
stance, instead of it's being Mexican
troops firing into our inland towns and
killing our citizens, it happened to be
an English or German or Japanese
fleet which, not once but again and
again fired into our coast towns, kill
ing and wounding citizens, this nation
would Immediately demand, not arbi-
tration, but either atonement or war"
I'm the same way, if dispute arose
between us and another nation as to
whether we should receive enormous
masses of immigrants whom We did
not desire from that nation, no one
knows anything of the temper Of the
American people would dream that
they would for one moment consent to
arbitrate the matter. In such a case
we should say that our honor, our in
dependence, our integrity and our very
national existence were involved and
that we could not submit such ques-
ton to arbitration"
