 Doesn't Know Tired Feeling
 Don't you ever feel like sitting down and resting a few minutes after the performance?"
 q don't know what it is to feel tired. And this is the easiest role l have ever sung"
 Do you like it as well as your other parts?"
 I'm just crazy about it. have some delightful numbers and I enjoy them as much as the audience. The music isn't as heavy as I have been accustomed to and guess it's the change that appeals to me-
 Have you ever thought of returning to to grand opera?"
 Not very seriously. Since the season that I sang at the Metropolitan opera house I have been at the head of some great big productions, and now I am well established throughout the country. couldn't very well afford to give up all this even for az easier berth" Do you consider grand opera easier for singer than light opera?" Ever so much. There is no compari- son. said that my present role was easy, but it is difficult compared with grand opera. In grand opera-that is, in the case of the historical oul piecesJyou have years of precedent to guide you. The music Is splendidly written and your path is all marked out. There are less ensemble work. fewer performances and only an occasional matinee. "In light opera you spend weary weeks perfecting yourself in a role the music of which Is very often poorly constructed In addition to singing at least seven times a week you do a lot of talking, and talking is anything but beneficial for the voice. You have to take part in all the ensembles and unless you happen to have a genuine New York success you are kept jumping about the country. Grand opera is play compared with light opera. l am referring to the lighter grand operas Some of the tragic Foles are very hard

 A stalwart figure is that of Lafe Young, who has been appointed to suc- ceed the late Senator Deliver. He looks as dramatic as his colleague, Cummins, who took great pride in introducing him to the other senators.
 But he belongs to the new group. And all told they do not look as forceful as the men they have displaced. The changes have been tremendous in the last few years and are to be especially so in the new Senate of the next Con- gress. It was ths intention of the fath- CTS that the csanges should be as in- frequent as possible that the Senate might be conservative at all times, but this intention las been lately but little respected by the people.
 Usually the shift in senators every two years has not brought into the Senate as much as half dozen new faces. but of the 30 senators whose terms expire in Ma rch next, only Clapp, Clark of Wyoming, Culberson, Dupont.

 "Oh. I've always been ridiculously myself. Most of my girlhood was spent in the open air, and l guess that's the answer"
 What brand of air did your folks use?'
 'Indana brand" laughed the actress. "They are still using it and wouldn't ex- change 1t for any other. I was born in North Manchester, and my father and mother still reside there"
 Where the Wabash Flows
 ''The Wabash runs right by the town" volunteered Miss Van Studdifords s maid.
 "If you could see the town you wouldn't blame it.'' said the actress with smile.
 Everything else runs right by it, too. I ran right by 1t as soon as was big enough"
 Not very enthusiastic about the syca- more scenery, eh?"
 "Yes, I am, but it's such sleepy little place. Honest, it's so still it sounds noisy. I spend week or two there every sum- mer. Along about May I begin to feel that there is no place like home, and the minute my season closes I take the first tram TOT NOTtH MdHcleSttr. AlteI III there a few days I begin to feel that there is no place like New York and back I come."
 How did you come to take up an operatic career?"
 q had good voice, and my parents decided to have 1t cultivated. All the members of my family were good singers. My sister Is on the professional stage, and has been successful as my under study in several productions. There is a strong resemblance between us. After my public school days were over I went to Chicago and devoted my time to vocal study. made my debut with the Bostonians in 1897. It was fine organi- zation at that time. and I was getting along fine, but after few months I left the stage to get married. Two years later I reJoined the same company and created the leading role in Maid Ma rian.' The famous company was on the down grade then and few seasons later went to pieces.''

It Is the country between Paraje and Dona Ana and even below Dona Ana for many miles that is to be irrigated and made to bloom by the waters that are to be impounded over the historic spot. The tornado has long ago ceased to lose it's terrors and passengers have for years crossed it in Pullman cars, but now 1t will vanish completely and the water that obliterates the former oasis of the tornado will do the work of re- clamation.
