A Faraoan At San pieao.

A recent San Diego paper, reporting
a Christmas night concert by the AM
phion club of that city, said in part:
The contralto group of songs, being
three solos from The Messiah, was one
of the most impressive numbers. Mrs.
L, l.. Rowan, the soloist, possesses a
voice particularly adapted to the inter-
probation of the great classic-rich,
resonant and full of the repose and
dignity that is called for in this type
Of composition. The three soIos--C.u
Thou That Tellest, He Shall Feed His
Flock. and He Was Despised--em-
brace the birth, the life work and the
atonenlent of the Savior.
Another number which should be
especially mentioned was the violin
solo played by Mrs. Florence w. Wet
zell. the "adagio seriouo' This COM
position was the work OF d local com
poser, George Edwards, and adds an
other to the clever compositions that
have recently won deserved laurels for
the musician. Mrs. WetzelI played the
number with fine breadth of feeling
and tone. Miss Josephine Roberts at
the organ affords always musical
treat, her hHndling Of, this complicated
musical instrument being always an
example Of fine musicianship.'

Sousa, the great band director, who by
the way, was In London today on his
world tour and he will be in Exeter,
Jan. 16, when the band win play an
accompaniment I'm the historic cathe-
dral, during a special occasion:
In the explanation OF the first few
pages Of a very interesting little bro
ehure of excerpts from the pen of John
Philip Sousa, which has just been is
sued by his manager. Thomas Quinlan,
one finds related the following realistic
and applicable anecdote which every
singer enlisting the services OF a
teacher, coach or accompanist should
read:
Next to being born the most impor-
tant event OF my life was when be-
gan the study OF music. My start was
not very encouraging. The old Span
lard was a retired orchestral player
and had voice that would not excite
the envy of either Caruso or Bonci. /
believe he had the worst voice / have
ever heard All musical intervals were
sounded alike by him. When he was
calm he squawked; when excited, he
squeaked. AT the first lesson he babe
me repeat the syllables of the scale
after him.
DO" he squawked.
DO" squawked in imitation.
mo, no." he cried, Sing do" and he
squeaked the note.
Do squeaked, in a vain effort to
correspond with his crow-like vocaliz-
alton.
He grew very angry, storfned and
abused me. His mental ear was alert
and true, but the articulated sounds
of his voice conveyed nothing but a
grating noise to my child mind. For
an hour he squeaked and squawked,
and / hopelessly fioundered after him.
At last the lesson was over and was
almost nervous wreck.
The following Sousa classification
would make an excellent question for
exams" if the personal pronoun "I''
but be deducted:
Il classify the musical profession in
all its branches under four general
heads, viz:
!. Men who are in the profession as
simply mechanics and bread-winners.
2. Those who have an adaptability
for music and musical instruments.
3. Those who have a decided talent.
4, Those have a od-given gift of
genius.

Words bv North Dakotan,

A piece Of sheet music has been re-
ceived, and emblazoned at the top of
a unique cover design are the words,
North Dakota, a song Of three stanzas,
the words by Katherine B. Mugford, a
we'll known writer at Langdon, N. D.
The music is by Arthur A. Penn. The
chorus reads as follows:
Land Of the Wild Rose,
Land of the golden grain.
Blooming and waving
Ger plains far and free;
Keen airs and sunny skies
Wait on thy sturdy sons,
Who gladly and fondly find home in
thee.
The air is catchy and is for female
voice. 1t is published by Haviland.

plan succeeds, and too WELL for not
only does he become famous, but he
falls in love with the beautiful model
in the studio and also wins the other
girls love when he least wants it. How
he finally gets the girl of his heart is
prettfly told, giving a conventional,
but happy, ending to the play.
Miss Victorson will appear at the
Fargo operahouse Tuesday evening in
Avery Hopwoods dramatization of
real life, This Woman and This Man,
which scored so notably in Philadel-
phia and at the Maxine Elliott the
atre in New York City. 1t is a play
that is handled without gloves, as all
who see it will appreciate. The story
is very simple, there is no mystery
or guess work about it, the audience
author at once.
Miss Victorson brings convincing
simplicity and sincerity to the title
role, but when he is merely the gov
erness and when she afterwards be-
comes the wife of the son of the house.
While rightly termed a drama, there
are many true bits of comedy in This
Woman and This Man, and Miss Vic
torson brings out the lights and shad-
ows with artistic verify; in fact, her
performance assures her another tri-
umph to her professional standing.
The actors who play the other parts
have been carefully selected and the
public may be assured of a brilliant
performance on Tuesday evening.
