aLUcE AN0 EMPEROR JOSEPH
Composer HarshIy Told Austrian
Monarch That Archduke Sang
HE Music Wretchedly.

Chuck, the composer, was not OF the
sort OF men Of whom courtiers are
made. One day he attended, az the
court at Vienna, a concert at which
the Emperor Joseph II. and one Of his
archdukes sang a fragment from one
OF Gluck's compositions. Naturally
enough, the imperial artists glanced
at the composer to see how he was
impressed by the honor they were do
ing him. They were shocked to OBJ
serve that he was making a series OF
extraordinary and significant grim
aces The emperor stopped and in
quired whether he and the archduke
we're not singing the bit according to
Glucks idea of how It should be done.
MY ideal" exclaimed Gluck. "Why,
sire, am the poorest walker in the
world, but l would vastly rather take
a walk of six leagues than be forced
to hear a composition Of my own in
terpreted in such a way as that"
Joseph II. was brave enough to take
no notice Of the criticism, but the
court were quite convinced that IL
such a reproach had been addressed
to the Gear Nicholas the composer
would have prosecuted his musical
studies from that time forth under
the unfavorable surroundings Of the
Siberian mines.
It was the composer Weigl, man
Of very different temperament from
Chuck. who. when the Emperor Fran
cis Joseph played the first violin in
the performance OF one OF his over
lures, threw himself at the monarch's
feet. and exclaimed :N"Ah, sire. win
your majesty benignantly condescend
to grant my prayer, and favor me
once more with most gracious +
sharp?"

ONE MORE WONDERFUL ROAD
Great Highway Through the Dolonn-
ties Connects Lake District Of
Italy and Bavaria.

In May, 1910, the new highway
through the Dolomites, running from
Botzen to Toblach, was finally
thrown open. II is a miracle OF able
engineering and serves as connecting
link between the Lake district OF
Italy and Bavaria
Or, If one has large cities for ones
objective points, between Milan OF
Venice and Munich. It is worth try
ing. says writer in Harper's Week
ly, to convey an impression OF the
magnificent scenery, the picturesque
and wonderful country through which
this highroad, as smooth and perfect
as Riverside Drive, since the recent
repairs, leads one.
Botzen on the south and Toblach on
the north are the entrance gates to
the great, gaunt Dolomites. II was a
burghe OF Botzen, one Heinrich Kunt-
er, who first obtained permission to
hew a road from the Bremen Pass to
Botzen. He began the undertaking in
the year 1914 A. d.. and It is to be
hoped that his happy ghost rejoices
today In the perfect fulnlment OF his
idea. =
The one disappointment to the mo-
torist on this great road is that the
short cut from Botzen to Vigo di Fas-
sa, leading through the lovely Eggen-
Thai and past the Karer See, IL closed
to motors. For those who can foot 1t
it is worth while to bid ease farewell
for day or so and loiter through
the wonderful valley, making the as
cent of the lonely Kare. going up be-
tween the gloomy chalk cliffs, along
steep ridges, looking far away over
the valley and the rolling mountains
beyond, and so learning really to
know and feel these gaunt ghosts OF
that have earned by their
wilderness and ready reflections the
title Mountains OF Light"

LAW TO MUzzLE BOOSTERS
In Los Angeles They Mustn't Crow
Before 2 In the Morning, II
Ordinance Passes.

Los Angeles ROSTERS must get to-
gether on their Growing. The city at
torney has been asked to draft an
ordinance which will make It unlaw-
full for ROSTERS to crow earlier than 7
o'clock in the morning. Pacific time.
There must be more unity OF effort
among the chanticlers less Of indi-
vidual endeavor at any old hour OF
the night that the rooster feels like
Growing.
Mrs. Genevieve Dalrymple Of 1859
East Seventh street, in taking her
complaint to the city council, merely
acted as messenger for many thou
sands who are unable to sleep because
Of Growing ROSTERS, who start about
midnight and keep it up until morn
ing.
Leave it to the city attorney. He
will find some way to fix it," said
Chairman Andrews of the legislation
committee. With this meager instruc-
ton, John W. Shenk, the city attor-
ney. started somewhat on this order:
"The mayor and city council or the
city of Los Angeles do ordain that it
shall be unlawful for ROSTERS to crow
between the hours of 2 p m. and Z
a. m. All ROSTERS found guilty Of
violation of this ordinance shall be
sentenced to be the principal ingre-
dent Of a potpie."
However. the dificulty Of enforcing
an ordinance worded az outlined was
apparent to the city attorney, and he
will prepare a draft Of one along some
other line. 1t has been suggested
that the roosters es fauxZled, or that
some sort Of en- operation on their
throats be performed so that their ex-
ultant efforts may end in dismal CUR
giles, However, what will be done is
still uncertain.-Los Angeles Tribune.

BooKsTAND SENT BY MAIL
Contains Forty Volumes Of Shakes
peare, But Whole Package Weighs
Only Pound and a Half.

A revolving bookstand, six inches
high, containing the complete works
Of Shakespeare in forty volumes, the
whole weighing only one and one
half pounds, was the unique package
which passed through the registry d.
vision of the postoffice yesterday.
The tiny volumes themselves meas
ured two and one-half inches, and
were about one-eighth Of an inch in
thickness. Although the print was
extremely fine, 1t could be easily
read.
The case was surmounted with a
small marble bust Of the Avon bard,
and was addressed to Longview, Tex,
from Glasgow, England.
The parcel was opened by Hans
Glatta, special customs examiner Of
mail importations, who is inclined to
believe the expressed valuation of the
publisher, S11.50, is too low, and a
new appfaisement will be made.
The miniature books were bound
and printed in every detail after the
fashion of editions of ordinary size,
with gilt print and leather binding.
The articles attracted so much at
tention that Henry Smith, in charge
of the registry division, exhibited it
to the corps of women, under Mrs. T.

tags in the postofine fIie device
was thereupon declared "Just too

HEALTH BOARD
NEEDS $4,000
Commissioners to Appear Be.
fore Council Nov. 20.

In order to impress upon the mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen the
actual necessity of having a larger
appropriation than was granted them
last year, the members OF the Board
Of Health will appear before the
council at it's next committee session
which will be held November 20, and
will explain every item for which
they will ask funds.
Last year but $4,000 was granted
the health commissioners and SO as
to keep every department under the
jurisdiction Of this board in accord
ance with the laws, it was found
necessary to expend a much greater
amount. The Board of Aldermen
were asked at their last meeting to
grant an additional appropriation of
5000 to defray the expenses of the
Board of Health for the present term
AS Inspector A. j. Mikalajczak is
doing much work in cleansing the
city of filthy conditions in bakeries,
butcher shops and grocery stores, the
commissioners are anxious to retain
him throughout the year to continue
the good work. But they will be un-
able to do this unless a larger appro-
priation is granted them. For this
reason they will appear in person
and show their interest in their
work. 1t is understood that an ap-
preparation of not less than $4,000
will be asked.

OVER
The COUNCIL
Democrats Name Successor
to Ferd GarretsOn.

There is considerable speculation
as to what member of the new Board
of Aldermen will serve as it's pre-
siding officer after January L, when
Alderman-at-Large Ferd Garretson
steps from the presidential chair
to become mayor of the city. 1t is
generally conceded that the honor
lies between Aldermen Seaman,
Kutcher and Sandbeck. When indi-
vidual members of the board were
questioned, they declared themselves
at a loss to know who would become
the presiding officer, but admitted
it lay between the three Democratic
members mentioned. They will con-
tinue in power after January first,
while two Democrats and Republic
can will step out of office. The DEM
ocrats declare they have not con-
ferred among themselves since be-
fore election.
Becoming president of the council
next year will be little more than an
honor, Acting Mayor Garretson and
other members Of the council state.
He will simply preside and will have
no more power than any of the other
members. AS the board is to be COM
prised of but six members, four
Democrats and two Republicans, the
officer will not even have deciding
vote in case of a tie, as provided for
with a council of seven members,
according to law.
