SAYING FAREWELL A LOST
ART IN THESE RAPID DAYS

'Good-by. adieu. adIosr' the saddest
words OF three fine languages.
Saying good-by to anybody or anything
we love means terrible heartache. a
pain that the meager God be with you
scarcely covers.
AL through the pages Of the past fare
wells sob family behind the glittering
pageant Of court and camp, behind the
gray misery OF the poor.
Before the earth's secrets were known,
kings ruled over lands no bigger than a
Western ranch, the rough passions OF man
delighted in war and 20 keen was his
zest for battle that the antique warrior
knew no pangs at parting. At a later
time distance grew cruel and the means
Of transit were SO poor that a. princess
Of France went as q bride to Spain with
her young eyes dimmed from the pain of
a separation which was to last her life.
And once kings heart quivered with a
strange sense of loss as q sweet Italian
voice sobbed, You love me. You are
King Of France. and yet I leave you,
Adieu!" So Louis the Sun King stood
silent and embarrassed, bidding a life
long farewell to young love and mans
honor as he watched the heavy coach
bear Marie Mancini into the exile of a
loveless marriage.
When the discovery Of a world beyond

canoe that Italian laborers cross the
ocean for seasons work in the States
or Argentina. Emigrants no longer sob
as they board the great liners, no longer
do their eyes strain aftss the last glimpse
of land they love, yet never hope to
see again. Tears are now the exception
at railway stations and quays, yet for all
that there is no less affection displayed
no less, II less irrevocable, meaning in
our good-bys.
Lamartine declared that our whole ex-
istence is but q series of partings. AT
birth we say good-by to infnity; at
death. to the finite. We say farewell to
fine illusions, to fruitless hopes, worn
friendships, outraged faith, to youth, to
love. to all that makes life worth the
living
Some partings, however, we welcome
with outstretched hands-partings from
things we dislike, irksome tasks, ugly
surroundings and the society OF uncon-
genial people. Every normal being longs
to end something repelIant in life. cher
ishes passionate wish to soar above
the common needs of existence, to walk
on Olympus and dream in the gods palm
groves, but nearly always some obstacle
balks the achievement OF the hearts de-
sire, scatters the highest plans, and some
times II is those who. anxious for sep
aration, eager for better things, have not
the courage to say. "Good-by."

When the religious devotee, irubued
with spiritual enthusiasm, goes deeply
into her pocketbook while the collection
basket is being passed she often hears
| the voice Of the soprano singing Guide
Me- o Thou Great Jehovah" as an
offertory solo. The church woman doubt
! less thinks it a religious hymn, and
would describe it as a piece OF purely
religious music, little dreaming Of IT'S
origin.
For the melody is about as far removed
as it possibly could be from anything re-
ligious, being taken bodily from a comic
opera that is not sung so frequently now
adays as it used to be in the placid old
Mapleson days when Ravelli was Bos-
toms favorite lyric tenor, and used TO
sing that air at the once famous Acad-
emy of Music when Martha" was per-
formed, for that song belongs by rights
in Flotow's comic opera.
Many and many a church congregation
has droncd out an air to the words, "Oh,
mother dear, Jerusalem" with profound
belief in the religious character OF the
melody and without much thought at the
time of the gay and festive dance, relates
the New York Herald.
But the melody that they think so in
spired is really a bold. bad waltz, and
one Won Weber was the musician who
wrote It for dance music, and very good
dance music II is, too. The air was
quite as popular for that purpose at one
time as the Merry Widow waltz was
two years ago, and the latter may yet
follow its predecessor from out the bright
lights Of the ballroom into the dim aisles
Of the church.
The music OF sentimental love songs is
not always the creation of a yearnins
heart. Take a charming little Irish love
ballad entitled THE Lass o. the County
Mayo" which appeared some seven TO
eight years ago.
In 1t the fond lover describes his lady,
and relates how she is pure as a lily"
and all the rest of the things that lovers
say about their best girls at least all
the things they say in song. And the
music seems to suit the sentiment ex-
actly.
But alas for the heart sentiment! The
bulk OF that song appeared nearly twenty
years ago in the Presidential campaign
when Cleveland and Thurman were the
Democratic candidates, and the words
were. Let Democrats boast OF their old
red bandana." for this was a Republican
campaign song. Somehow there does not
seem to be much similarity between a
political campaign and fond lover. and
it would appear that music has no In
trinsic sentiment any more than it has
religion.
Possibly the worst transmutation that
was ever perpetrated on an unsuspeeting
public was when part Of Chopin's solemn
funeral march was bodily appropriated
and turned into negro minstrel song
for use in the old San Francisco Min
streIi Han where the Bljou Theater after
ward stood. Nightly the sad strains or
the dirge were yapped to the words

RO0sEvELTs STAND ON TAFT.

Not In Party Fight, but VIII Sup
port President IL Renominated.
From the New York Times.
The continued comment upon the re-
cent report from Washington that Col
Roosevelt had expressed himself as IA
voring the denomination OF President Taft
has caused some OF the politicians hero
who are in sympathy with Col Roosevelt
and his friends to make inquiries as to
just what was the basis Of the report.
1t seems to be pretty generally agreed
now that Col. Roosevelt did not express
himself to anybody as favoring the re-
nomination OF Mr.. Taft 1t IL considered
quite possible by those who believe they
know Col Roosevelt's mind that he might
have said that If President Taft were
renominated he would support him
II is generally understood by those best
advised that the colonel does not intend
to join those within the Republican party
who wish to make a campaign against
Taft's denomination, but II Is not con-
sidered likely that at any time prior to
the convention will he take an open po-
sition against the progressfves- The 40
cepted view among politicians is that If
Taft is renominated Col Roosevelt WIN
actively support him, but he does not pro-

CoNQUERING SUMMER.

Time VIII Come When Heat Dis
comforts VIII BE obviated.
From the New York TimeA
This weeks supertropicaI weather has
produced in this single city a longer list
few battles which history has deemed
worth recording at some length, and. OF
course the victims of the heat in these
four days have far outnumbered those
who freeze to death in the whole Of our
severest winters. Yet, all the fatalities
endured, strangely enough, as If they
were inevitable and irremediable. At any
rate, the efforts to avoid or alleviate
them are almost entirely limited TO slight
changes In dress, diet, and habits, the
effects Of which do very little toward
lessening the general danger and discom-
fort.
We are not content with like meas
ures In winter for overcoming the cold,
though they would enable us'to bear II
at least as well as we bear the heat. On
the contrary, every building, private or
public, In which we pass any consider
able amount OF time IL provided with
more or less elaborate heating apparatus.
and the money spent in Installing and
running stoves and furnaces in all their
varieties is charged Up to necessity, and
therefore is not begrudsed. even by those
who md # hardfto get Now. the same
or less expenditure would render our
houses in summer as much cooler than
it is in winter, and mechanical ingenuity
is quite capable Of making the. heating
the outside air as they are warmer than
plant Of one season serve as cooling
plant In the other.
This would be particularly easy where
the winter use OF hot water or steam has
compelled the construction Of pipe sys-
tenn running from common center to
radiators Of one form or another In
every room. These conduIts could carry
brine chilled below the freezing point just
as easily as they carry hot water or
steam. That is only one Of several ways
by which the refrigeration OF houses and
other buildings could be effected, and q
lowering Of temperature slight in compar-
lson with the raising Of It In winter Is
an that would be required to make q
vast difference IN our feelings. There
would be something Of danger In cool
houses for summer, but no more than
there Is IN hot ones for winter.

Helen Hayes Brown.

If those misguided people who are for
ever protesting against the use of chill
dren upon the stage could have dropped
into the Columbia Theater last week 10
witness the positive delight with which
little Helen Hayes Brown, the ten-year-
old mite who is to play Little Lord
Fauntleroy in the play of that name
entered into her work they would have
had their ideas of things materially al
tered. The little girl is thoroughly i'm
bubed with the poetic inspiration of Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's popular play,
and no greater punishment could haze
been inflicted upon her than to prohibit
her from playing the part. 1T is all SO
beautiful" she explained, that 1 wish
could be Fauntleroy forever" While
the part Of Cedric Enrol, who becomes
Little Lord Fauntleroy, is probably the
longest and hardest ever written for so
young a child, it's mastery has been a
positive delight for the little girl. For
those who look askance at the MEM
oTizing OF a four-line stanza the idea
of learning sixty pages Of typewriting,
to say nothing Of the business which ac-
companies the speeches, may seem n
with difficulty that Helen has been re-
strained from devouring the entire part
at sitting, so inspiring has II been
to her.
Through system the work has been
made simple and easy Each day sne
has been given single speech, in which
she has been thoroughly drilled by her
mother, and the end Of three months
finds her the master Of the entire part
with no realization Of the labor involved
Apart from being the daughter Of Wash
ington parents. little Miss Brown is one
OF the most interesting children on the
stage. Her talent and dependabIlity are
known to every producing manager In
New York, and she is never without fat
tering offers to play the most important
OF children's roles. Last reason she was
featured with Lew Fields in "The Sum-
mer Widowers," and prior to that she
appeared in several OF the big New York
productions. She is, however, not only
a Washington girl, but a Washington
find, for knowing the dramatic ability
OF the childs mother, who before her
marriage had been promising member
of his company. Manager Fred G.. Ber-
ger, Of the Columbia, was quick to as
cover in the little girl evidences of
dramatic ability. and two seasons ago
the child made her first appearance on
any stage as the little prince In "A Royal
Family" as produced by the Columbia
Players. Several weeks later she de-
lighted the Columbia audiences as the
little girl in the. first act OF Prince
Chap" Before the close Of the season
she scored further triumph as Patch
In "A Poor Relation" Since that time
she has been in New York and upon
the road, but was brought to this city
q month. before the opening of the pres
ent Columbia season to rest up and
quietly study the role in which she Is
now to appear.

STIRRING ADVENTURE WITH
WILD COW OF THE PLAINS

'In the early days Of California, settlers
owned large tracts OF land, on which
were thousands of. cattle. The latter
roamed as they pleased over the country
in great herds. and were almost as wild
and fierce as wolves. Men could only ride
on horseback among them, and If nah,
in driving or attempting to control them,

a stream Of water or climbing a tree

surveying party, and we had occasion to
run line along low range of hills, near
which herd of Spanish cattle was feed
ing. They seemed to take no notice of
US, and was some hundred yards in ad-
vance OF my companions, who were scat

denly several of the animals rushed to-

day were many and costly, and letters

in this unique celebration.

MEN ON STREET
Italian Killed by Thug After

Apaches are astir again. Three young
men, who spent the night in carousing

pleasure

twenty years Of age. proceeded from one

made It point to pick a quarrel with
the other persons on the premises For
some time their fun was limited to TAX
ing up glasses and hurting them over
the counter, or fiinging bottles at the
heads of the customers. Once or twice
they had hand-to-hand fights with per
sons whom they disturbed, and as they
were strong fellows, they usually got
the better Of their antagonists
Two o'clock came, and the three were
turned out of the various cafes, as the
closing hour had arrived. Their exploits
were then continued in the streets A
