ODE TO ST. CECILIA

 By John Dryden. Twas at the royal feast for Persia won By Phillips warlike son: Aloft, in awful state. The god-like hero sate
 On his imperial throne; His valiant peers were placed around, Then brows with roses and with myrtle pound; (So should desert in arms be crowned); The lovely Thais by his side Sate, like blooming eastern bride In flower of youth and beauty's pride. Happy, happy, happy pair!
 None but the brave,
 None but the brave, None but the brave deserves the fair.
 Grand Chorus. At last divine Cecilia came, Inventress of the vocal frame; The sweet enthusiast, from her sacred store, Enlarged the former narrow bounds, And added length to solemn sounds. With natures mother-wit, and arts unv known before. Il. Let old Timotheus yield the prize. Or both divide the crown; He raised a mortal to the skies She drew an angel down.

THIS AROIrT BOSTON.

"Boston is beautiful, of course, in its suburban, residential realms, but it is about the rockiest, bummest city in it's business centers in the United States. Many of it's principal business streets are paved like old Virginia towns, with cobble stone or it's equivalent. Its two big depots are cold storage plants with less provision for the comfort of people than have ever seen elsewhere, and the smells of its rum holes freight and poison the atmosphere. Half its population are foreign born or second growth foreign CTS, which would be all right if they were of the best class as they used to be, but most of them are not. Every time l visit Boston and drive through its crooked streets another crack is made in my pre- conceived vase and some more of the per fume escapes. This is treason, I know, to natives of the city of baked beans, but can't help it. Boston business center ought to take a bath or disinfect or quar- antine or tie a little sack of asafetida

 Plays havoc with his system. Those cakes and pies, Fen though he dies,
 He simply can't resist 'em.

However life May mix with strife
 And all seem dark before you A dauntless heart Will clouds dispart,

 Will vanquished steal away; No earthly rue Shall e'er slfodue,

The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-01

War Benjamin, asking. in the early
 months of the war, to be ordered back to his professors chair. He was right and
 acted with utmost dignity under fierce | provocation. Forrest was probably as great commander as Jackson. Want of education and it's mental and spiritual effects, caused him to offend, under sim liar circumstances with Jackson, against
 soldiers plainest duty.
 Miss Johnston Is undoubtedly correct, where her narrative has been adversely commented on. I refer to the failure of Jackson in the Seven Days battle below Richmond. r will relate some circum- stances in this connection never printed before now. They were related to me by a member of Camp Hardee 40 years ago, Maj. John William Tayloe: General D. H. Hill sent the inspector general of his staff, then Captain Tayloe, with a mes senger to Jackson on a certain night in the progress of those battles. Jackson was found in Chickahominy swamp, fast asleep on log, with a guard over him, ordered to allow no disturbance of his rest. Tayloe, thereupan sat by the stump of the tree, nodding himself, and await
 ing the pleasure of the general. During the night Col Thomas T. Munford, com manding the Second Virginia cavalry, rode up to report an important matter to Jackson, but the general could not be disturbed.
 "The next day General Hill sent Tay- Joe to a point where he had ordered an engineer, with about 20 men, to build or repair a bridge over the river. Tayloe found the engineer and his mep in the woods near the river, doing nothing. Come with me, captain, and we will soon see what the trouble Is down here The enemy haa planted battery over the place where the bridge was to be built. Upon the approach of the Confederates, every piece belched flame and destruction. NOW sir, that may be your report to General IIill,' said the engineer. After waiting on his horse, behind a big tree for a cessation of the cannonading, the staff officer turned his face back. A few yards away he saw a. soldier stretched on a log, his briddle rein over his arm and a dead calf close at his head, the calf just killed by the cannon across the river. In curiosity, he rode to the fgurs. It was General Jackson, fast asleep and all alone.
 "The morning of the mine explosion at Petersburg, Lieut.. Col. D. G. Mcintosh of South Carolina, of the artillery, being near, at once rode to the headquarters of Major General Blank. In a few p,n- utes General Lee rode up. He inquired of Blank for news from the crater. The major general replied that he had none. He had sent there for news, but as yet had none; as soon as he got his break fast he would ride there. Lee said noth ing, but rode off. Mcintosh had served under Jackson until the latter's fall In relating the incident, he expressed the opinion that if Blank had replied tn Jackson as he did to Lee he would have been shot without delay.
 General Jackson required full sleep. So did General Grant. Forrest and Wheel CT seemed to require none. Gen. J. F. Johnston said, in his Dalton-Atlanta cam paign, if he could lose consciousness nod ding in his chair once in "A hours, he felt no necessity for more repose for days fin succession

"rhe Bohemian Girlv in Song an,

"The Bohemian Girl" in Song and Story
 "Of all modern operas which can be traced back to remote period, insofar as the credit of the story is concerned, The Bohemian Girl, to be presented with an elaborate production by Milton and Sargent Aborn at the Jefferson theatre shortly, has the most curious history" said w. J. Love, connected with tho Aborn company.
 "Cervantes, the Spanish man of letters, author of Don Quixote,' published his Novels Examplares' in 1613 some years after the book which made his name i'm mortal. These are a collection of tales of various character, which are the true originals, in the modern history of mod ern literature in Europe, of the story of real life, with plot, scenery, character and local color.
 . "In the charming story La Gtanilla Is to be found the gem of all the gypsy romanees, poems and operas, which have since delighted the world. Presciosa, a drama, to which Weber wrote an over- ture and incidental music was derived directly from this story.
 "The libretto of The Bohemian Girl was constructed by Alfred Bum, who got his inspiration almost entirely from French models. Its theme was taken from the French ballet, La Gypsy pro- duced in Paris in 1889, constructed by the Marquin de Saint-Georges. Bunn's yer sion is not only identical in subject with La Gypsy but is also taken from an unpublished opera by Marquis de Saint Georges.
 "'The Bohemian Girl is still one of the indispensable resources of the man. ager who wishes to give the best of Eng fish operas, for like The Lady of Lyons, it's dramatic rival, it has survived two generations of opera goers and still keeps place in the hearts of the music loving public. The new production being of ,fered by the Aborns this season is said to be the most massive and magnificent ever made for this opera"

MISSING CLERK LOCATED.
Peter Nelson, Who Disappeared Two
Months Ago, Turns Up
In Seattle.

Peter Nelson, former en-
ploye of the Grays Harbor
Railway & Light company in the
HoQuiam office, and who mysterious
ly disappeared two months ago, has
been located. He is now living in
Seattle Saturday he telephoned to
friends in Aberdeen to ship his clothes
and belongings to him at the FL
lott Bay city.
The books of the light company
were carefully exported after Nelson
departed, and no discrepancies were
found. The only reason given for
his strange action is that he could
not bear to have his employers learn
that he was behind in his work
Nelson is well known on Grays
Harbor and bore an excellent repu
tation with his employers up to the
time of his departure.
