DAVID BISPHAM
IN RARE MUSICALE
AND INSTRUCTIVE
PROGRAM AT THE cALu-
MET THEATER LAST.
EVENING.

David Bispham, said to be Ameri-
cas- greatest baritone, held n large and
select audience spellbound last night at
the Calumet theater while he taught
them to enjoy. and to understand,
good music. His program was a lee
ture- recital. comprising songs of much
breadth of musical value and short
explanations of many of them. and
closed with Tennyson's Elaine"
which he read to the accompaniment
written by Ada Weigcl Powers.
Mr.. Blsphams reputation as great
baritone was made many years ago
and it merely remained for local peo-
pie 10 enjoy one of his rare programs
and bask in the nobility. depth and
sincerity of his singing; to marvel at
the beauty OF his enunciatlon and the
roundness of his art.
Finished work of a high order is
what Mr.. Bispham stands for. OF his
song numbers last night e is probable

met with generous appreciation and
deep appreciation also marked his
singing of "Thc Monotone" by Corne-
Illus, a rcverie sung on one tone only
and which owes its beauty to the re-
nrarkable artistry of the interpreta-
ton.
The program was carefully selected
and comprised songs of different pc
RODS. all of which were sung in Eng
lish, because, according To Mr.. Bispham.
English is n musical ana satisfactory
language, and the popular prejudice
against it is founded on misunder-
standing.
The evening of charming song had
pleasant interruption in piano num-

played with gratifying power and fin

panimcnt of Mr.. Bispham was one of
the joys of the occasion.

NAILS IN HARD WOOD.

II will be found almost impossible
to drive thin nails into hard wood
for the moment you hit them nard
enough To puncture the wood they
bend over on themselves.
Many people employ the use of a
small gimlet To bore the hole destined
to hold the nail and few people know
that if yellow soap is rubbed on the
nail ii can be driven i'm the hardest
wood with ease.
This trick was learned by a carpen-
ter, who discovered 1t accidentally.
Now whenever he is working with
hard wood he keeps n cake of soap
near by and sticks il full of nails, us
ing them as he needs them.
He also has deep hole cut i'm the
handle of his favorite hammer and
keeps it filed with soap, in which to
stick the nails If the cake of soap is
not conveniently near.

American Associations Long Season
Has Proven Costly.
According to one of the officials of
the American association the season of
1912 will bring forth a schedule of 154
games. the same as I'm former years,
and the 16S schedule will be shelved.
The long season of 1863 games has

proven a failure, due to unfavorable
weather i'm the early spring and late

est tagging i'm some quarters, that is
where the teams have had no chance to
better their positions i'm the race.
1t is also claimed by those who ought

most of the clubs from $4,000 to $4,000
each, and i'm addition to this the cost
