Music Festival Sent Sale

"The music festival is only two weeks off from next Monday" said President J. H. Holcombe of the Music Fes- tival association. "We are having splen- did advance sale It beats anything of the sort I have known in Birmingham. The financial success of the festival is easily assured, and I am hoping now to have surplus of s100O or more
 What is particularly gratifying and significant is the active inquiry for seats from out Of town. Every mail brings letters asking for seat reservations Those of our Birmingham ctizens who have failed to secure seats had better delay no longer. A week hence it will be almost impossible to buy seat for Monday or Tuesday night. or Tuesday matinee. The programmes for those concerts are very brilliant indeed, but Wednesday matinee and Wednesday night will be ex- ceedingly attractive: and the last nights performance will probably witness a rec ord-brealing house. rt
 ''The Orpheum, where the festival is to be held, has limited seating capacity, but every seat in the house is good seat. There are no post instructions and one seat is as good as another"

 There's hardly anything married woman can be nore deceptive about thar the way she can act as if she should be enSied.
 When q girl has a man to dinner he, mothers only idea seems to be to make him ashamed of himself for not being ir the family. What man likes more than anything else is to talk about the constitution especially when he knows so much about it he thinks Congress can amend it.

COYOTES TRAINED TRAITORS

Boise ddaho) Dispatch to New York
 American.
 Two coyotes, brought up in captivity, and with several captive generations be- hind them, but still full blood coyotes, hace been trained by Charles Lubeck Of Elk City, Idaho, who was here this week to run down wild coyotes. This re- dounds to the emolument of MT. Lu- beck. wno brought in 20 coyote pelts for bounty.
 Brig and Harrison caught these, all of them" said Lubeck. I never nave to kill a single coyote with a gun, for these animals are always capable of doing work and of keeping their brothers out of the country about the ranch.
 T caught two coyotes 25 years ago, and since that time there have been five gen erations. until the result has been that have been able to develop what might nearly be called domestic coyotes
 While I cannot allow these animals to sleep in the house, I have special place for them, and they run at large with the dogs They can put up a better fight than any dog I own, and they are ab- solutely sure as watch animals.
 "Every generation of the animals be- comes more valuable than their parents have been before them, and within the | next ten years I hope to have pair oi 1 coyotes which will be good to keep in the house. "There is one point which a person raising coyotes must never lose sight or and that is the fact that the wild streaks will show themselves when they are leas' l expected, and the animals will often snai l even those with whom they are on the most friendly terms,
 These coyotes are year old and theS | have not bitten any one yet.

So many blsses will unfold, There'll be such gladness. too, We'll just forget how hot it is And every kind of rue.

 Luxembourg. being out of the way and generally unknown, lent itself to the uses of that peculiar school of fiction which, beginning with Anthony Hope, to end, let us believe and pray, with Robert w. Chambers and Richard Harding Davis, deals with the remote and dotes on the
 impossible; which grinds out preposterous
 females and impecunious adventurers; which plays havoc with thrones and foot ball with crowns and hearts; the final chapters in all identical, the Yankee hero to work the racket and get the girl.
 Prince Rodolphe of Geroisten. in quest of his F1eur de Marie, had, I grant, a certain persuasive air of probability. Anyhow, he had not been done to death

 Arsene I.upin is, indeed, borrowed from novel of Victor Cherbuliez, Samuel Brohl & Co.," as Sherlock Holmes owes his paternity to Edgar Allen Poe. In Cher hulez's story the hero, having come into possession of his dead masters papers, reappears upon the scene and flowers out in society as Count Abel Darinsky, 10 whom he had been valet, and for a time plays the part with signal success. It would seem under certain circumstances a simple device, and is quite common rlace of the older French comedy. Curi- ously enough, an actual case in point has just transpired. As have nothing espe- cially interesting to tell of Luxembourg, let me tell you this; for but fortnight ago, as l learn from mine host of the Grand hotel, it's principal occupied the suite of rooms from which I write.
