FLOCK OF CROWS ON A JAG
Farmer .Soaks Corn In Whisky ana
Finds Eight Birds Acting Much
Like Men.

William Oles of Colebrook, has a
large field of corn which has been
ravaged for months by crows. Mr..
Olesi did not like that sort Of thing
very, much. Searching his brain for
a plan to. sgd the unwelcome atten.
tons of the crows, he came upon this
idea: He would soak some of the corn
in whisky and place it in the corn
patch,
he did that the other night. The
next morning he was awakened by a
fearful jabbering in the cornfleld. He
rushed out to investigate. He found
eight large crows staggering around
the field and stimulating the human
voice as closely as nature would per-
nit. He says he heard one of the
crows singing.
When they saw Mr.. Oles they tried
to fly, but it was impossible. They
couldn't even walk straight; In fact,
they fell every few seconds.
Mr.. Oles bundled them into a. couple
Of parrot cages. When they sobercd
UP he lectured them severely. Then
he took them into the field, shot them,
aud left their bodies as a warning to
other crows.-Winsted Correspondent

WHAT LlszT DID FOR MUSIC
His Compelling Personality, Genius
and Inspiration Made Possible
the Later Wagner.

But he introduced into the ,musty
academic atmosphere of musical Eu-
rope strong, fresh breeze from the
Hungarian. puzta; this wandering
piano player Of Hungarian-Austrian
blood, genuine cosmopolite, taught
music a new charm, the charm Of the
unexpected, OF the improvised. The
freedom Of Beethoven in his later
works and of Chopin in all his music
became the principal factor in the
style of List. Music must have the
shape Of an improvision. In the Hun
garian rhapsodies, the majority of
which begin in a mosque and always
end in a tavern. are the extremes
Of his system. Ills orchestral and
vocal works; the two symphonies, the
masses and oratorios and symphonic
poems are full of dignity, poetic feel
ing, religious spirit, and a larseness
Of accent and manner. Yet the gypsy
glance. and gypsy voice Turk behind
many a pious or pompous bar. Apart
from his invention Of a new form--or
rather the condensation and revisal
of an old one-the symphonic poem
LISTS greatest contribution to are is
the wild, truant, rhapsodic eytempore
element he infused into modern 1nu-
sic; nature in her most reckless, un-
trammeled moods he interpreted with
fidelity, But the drummers in the line
Of moral gasoline who controlled criti-
cism in Germany refused to see List
except as an ex-piano .Virtuoso with
the morals of fly and perverter Of
art. Even the piquant triangle in his
piano concerto was suspected as pos
sibly suggesting the usual situation OF
French comedy.
The Liszt-Wagner question no long
er presents any difficulties to the fair
minded. It is a simple one, for men
still living know that Wagner, tic
reach his musical apogee, to reach
his public, had to lean heavily on the
musical genius and individual inspira-
ton of List. The later Wagner would
not have existed-as We now know
him-Without first traversing the gar
den of List. This is not theory but
a:;fact.- From Franz Liszt-The Real
and Legendary" by James Huneker,
