And the Treat Proved Fine Ad. For
Iiszt and Rubini.
An article in an Italian review con-
tains an interesting story of List and
Rubini. the tenor. They were touring
together and visited a town where,
from the preliminaries which had been
arranged, great things were expected.
But they were disappointed, for when
they entered the hall they found only
fifty persons present.
Ribini was furious and said he would
not sing, but List Gained him. You
must sing" he said. 'This small audi
ence is evidently composed Of musical
connoisseurs of the town, so we should
treat them with respect" Liszt set
the example with a grand overture,
and Rubini sang to perfection. Liszt
gave another piece and then addressed
the audience.
List as an orator was as tactful as
he had been in the role of pacifcator.
Addressing his audience of fifty, he
said: Ladies and gentlemen"-there
was only one lady PRESENT. think
that you have had enough music. Al
low me to ask you to take little sup
per with u.s." After a few seconds the
invitation was accepted, and Liszt and
Rubini entertained the audience to
supper at their hotel, which cost them
1,200 francs.
When the guests separated the hosts
thought the affair had been q Joke,
about which nothing more would be
heard, but they decided to give their
concert as advertised on the following
night. To their establishment the hall
was packed. There was not standing
room. The whole town had turned out

PATAGONIAN INDIANS.
Customs of the Remnants of a once
Powerful Tribe,

Powerful Tribe.
Normally the Tehuelches, as the
Patagonian Indians are called, are a
peaceable and kindly people, yet they
are impulsive, capable of strong preju-
dices, very revengeful and-often
with good reason-suspicious Of stran-
gers. They are not to be trified with
and when under the influence of drink
are brutal and dangerous. They show
love for their children and wives and
kindness to their old people. They are
divided into numerous tribes or groups,
each having its chief or cacique. upon
whom the burdens of government rest
but lightly.
They believe In a good and an evil
spirit, whom they propitiate, and have
many stories, myths and superstiions
connected with the sun. moon and
stars, while the Staying of horses and
drinking Of blood form a conspicuous
part of their superstitions, birth, MARI
rage and death ceremonies, many Of
which are most repulsive.
When Magellan first passed through
the strait there were perhaps no fewer
than 10000 Patagonians roaming from
the Rio Negro to the strait, while to-
day, driven back from the littoral to
the high pampas and the foothills Of
the Andes, altogether they would
probably not total over 500.-Harper's
Magazine.

Great Britain's pension system is as
liberal as may be considering the vast
number of persons carried On both the
military and the civil lists. but In one
case the record for smallness OF pay

Wordsworth. Sens. Of Smell.

Poets have not failed to do perfumes
justice. but one major poet-Words-
worth-went through life without q
sense of smell and was not sorry for
1t. Nature, he told Aubrey de We're.
seemed to him all the more vision.
But once, and once only, did Words
worth smell, and the prosaic occasion
illustrates the unpublished household
ways of his time. He sat down with
his family to the midday dinner and
began to carve leg Of mutton. The
leg of mutton was stuffed with onions,
and for once, and once only, the sense
Of smell was revealed to him. The
onions. suddenly laid bare, conquered

Try This HoBse.Mdde
 Cough Remedy Costs Little, But Docs the Work Quickly, or Money Refunded.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 1s pln5 of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worthl in pint bottle; then add the Sugar Syrup. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 You will find that this simple rem edy takes hold of cough more quickly than anything else you ever used. Usr- ally ends D deep seated cough inside of 24 hours. Splendid, too, for whoop- ing cough, croup, chest pains, brouehi- tis and other throat troubles. It stim- ulstes the appetite and is slightly lax ativc, which helps end 8 cough.
 This recipe makes more and better cough syrup than you could buy ready made for S250. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes pleasantly.
 Pinex is the most valuable concer. trated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in glsiacol and all the natural pine clements which are so healing to the membranes. Other prep arations will not work in this formula.
 This plan of making cough syrup with Pines and sugar syrup tor strained honey1 has proven 50 popular through out the United States and Canada that 1t is often initiated. But the old. sue- cesslul formula has never been eaualed.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction. or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex or will get it for you. If not, send to Tho Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne. Ind.
