KOCIAN

The flower maidens and temptresses
in the garden of love had never SO
reluctantly torn themselves from
Parsifal as the people uprooted their
longing from the magic violin and
sadly, and in a sacred hush from the
very magnitude of mis- accomplish
ment, filed out in a congested mass
to the realities of life.
AS far as a mans relation to a vio-
lin is concerned, Jaroslav Kocian is
infallible.
To him there IS no time, no reg
lister, no limitation!
No note on his strings is too high
for artistic achievement. No tone is
too low for vibrant sympathy.
To him violin is the embodiment of
all things musical created. 1t is the
pipe organ, the harp, the human voice
in its most perfect development.
1t is single instrument, two, three,
an orchestra of seventy-fve so long
as his fingers manipulate the strings.
And Kocian played and played at
times as though under the control Of
the masters who are gone but who,
longing for the completion of their
own power, had returned to this man,
master of his age!
Mrs. w. L. Whitney presided at
the piano, and the sympathy of her
touch, the unity of the artist and his
accompanist, were ideal.
The second number on the program,

handing all of power of sweetness in

so characteristic of the old master,
were played without accompaniment
and gave the first real glimpse of the

POSTMASTER PRATT-By direc-
ton of the Postoffice Department, the
attention of patrons of this office is in
vited to the advantages of providing
facilities for the receipt of their mail
by erecting conveniently accessible
boxes or cutting suitable slots in their
doors. Such action would enable the
postmaster to give a prompter and
better delivery service with the means
at his disposal, since the carriers can
cover much more territory in less time
if not compelled to wait for an answer
to their ring. Private receptacles for
mail are also a great convenience to
the householder, obviating the neces-
sity of responding to the carriers call
at inconvenient moments and permit
ting the safe delivery of mail in the
absence of members of the household
They also prevent the occasional ne
cessity Of a carriers proceeding on his
route without delivering mail because
of failure to answer his ring within a
reasonable time, and enable him to
make deliveries to patrons living on or
near the end of the route at an earlier
hour. 1t has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits derived by
patrons of city delivery from the use
of such receptacles far outweigh the
small expense involved. AS this Office
is interested in furnishing the best pos
sible service at the least expense, your
compliance with the foregoing sugges-
tions will be much appreciated.

ed and murdered in her home at Comp
ton, a suburb, yesterday. has resulted

bullet which entered the right ear, had
penetrated the brain. Mrs. Haskin' 8

MAN IS WORTH 100000.
Reformed DrunIards Make Money for
Communities.

Chicago. Sept. Sixty thousand
dollars is the value to the community
of a man who has been saved from a
drunkard's life, according to Rev.
PRESBYTERIAN church, and director in
the Bible Rescue mission.
This figure, arrived at by computa-
tiOnS made from life insurance tables
is to be made the basis of an appeal
for a temporary home for such men,
that philanthropic men may know that
an investment of this kind will pay
well. financially, if there be no other
motive for giving.
Rev. Brown mentioned the name of
a man who was saved from drunk
ards death two years ago. and who
now is a salesman at a salary of ST.
500 a year. He figures that the man
is worth more than 100000 to the
community.
