HOW KING MIDAS
MADE A MISTAKE
Failed to Leave Example of
Saving Habit for Future
Generation
From the charIeston News.

Why didn't King Midas, the gold lover,
try to save 10 cents weeia? He could
have given the world a wonderful eN
ample of the value of the saving habit.
Besides, he would have left money for the
members of his family alive today. Midas
was one of the Kings of Phyrsia. AS the
Fhrygian line was wiped out by the CHM
merians about go BIC. we may assume
he lived about SO B, c.. or at least 27ll
years ago. "a
If King Midas had started in saving 10
cents a week he would have saved dime,
therefore on each of the 14o,s7O weeks.
This would make him the neat little sum
of Sl4.097ao Although not fortune in
these days, Sl4,o9129sis quite fair sum TO
save by giving UP one cigar week But
there is more to follow
In those days OF political upheaval and
commercial uncertainty, capital was en-
titled to bigger return on Its Investment
than it would be today. The risk was
much greater. Though we have no actual
records of Fhrygan rates of. usury, It Is
fair to assume that the Midas account
drew 10 per cent interest compounded an
nually for at least the first Zoo years, or
until the commercial world had reached a
comparatively recent stage of Develop
ment.
BEGINNING, therefore. 500 years before
Christ, Midas put into his savings 10 cents
every week. At the end of the first 10
weeks he had dollar. The interest on 81
for one year is not great even at 10 per
cent, but it adds another dime to the 10
already saved At the end of the second
year there Is something more than two
dimes to be added.
At the end of the first hundred years
the Accommodations on the first dollars, al
10 per cent compounded. would be $751;
7S069. Thus Midas, in the year 700 B. c.
would have had Sl3, 1908, resulting from
his first 10 weeks savings. The compound
ing goes on through the next century SC
that at the end of 600 years, or in the
year COO b. c., Midas would have had
SlSs. 9oS590.04 from his first dollar.
AT the end of the next hundred Years
or IN 500 p. c.. the results from those firsi
10 dimes put away would be S2,s9,03s, 49,

CAST OF &c
WELLESLEY CLUB PLAY
Original Irish Fantasy Given at
Berkeley LYceum.

In aid Of the Student Alumne Building
Fund the New York Wellesley Club gave
two performances yesterday at the Berke-
ley Lyceum of an Irish fairy play In two
acts. "The Twig OF Thorn" by Marie Jo-
sephine Warren. Miss Warren, who is a
member Of the class OF '07. was also IN the
cast in the part OF dancing fairy.
The little play. which was both we'll com
posed and we'll acted, reflected the Influence
OF the National Irish Theatre movement,
and had caught something of the same po-
etry and mystery which was characteristic
OF the Irish plays given here by the Abbey
company.
Emile Galloway, OF the class OF 'oS. who
is now on the professional stage. having
played the lead in the northern Seven
Days" road company last year, took the
part of Aileel, the wandering poet, In which
she made an extremely favorable impress
sion.
There were music OF the woods and fairy
music and dance music. all composed by
the playwright, and there was some capital
folk dancing which required the services OF
all the players.
This is not a city which pays any very
devoted attention to amateur theatricals.
which is a pity, for amateur performances
have an idealsm about them. and lati-

ricals which would not be 10 the detriment

ZlMBALIST PLAYS AGAIN
The Russian Violinist Pleases
Another Recital Audience.

Efrem Zimbalist demonstrated again yes
terday afternoon, at the third recital he has
given at Carnegie Hall. his proficiency In
most of the departments that go toward
making up the art of an accomplished vlo-
liDist. There was the same transparency OF
tone, the same admirable facility in scales
and arpeggios. and there were further evi-
dences OF the young Russians fitness to
cope with nearly any technical task that
he might attempt. Honesty and clearness
characterized what he did. whether It were
music of which he failed to convey quite
the breadth intended by the composer. or
utterances smaller in style, in which the
limitations OF Mr. Zmbalist were not In evil
dence. There were times yesterday, as
there have been at his previous appear
ances, when these natural bounds and out
posts of his musical temperament were dis
closed, az in the Bach sonata In T. major,
for violin nlone, in whose passages of full
throated cantilena one could have wished
for a broader flow Of tone But even here,
the directness and clarity of the young
yirtuosos performance reflected the sys-
tematic and accurate quality of his musical
thought. Always, II was made plain what
ne wanted to say; what he did not say, he
made no pretence Of feeling. For this self
respecting attitude the judicious among his
hearers have from the first admired this
well-equlpped young Russian.
The programme at this recital began with
the A minor snte Of Christian Sinding, con-
tinued with the Bach sonata. and attained
its climax I'm the Mendessohn concerto, OF
which all three movements were played.
Two groups of short pieces followed, and
there were extra numbers demanded and
given. The performance OF the Men
deIssohn music was characterized in the
first and third movements by speed upon
the violinist's part that made 1t difficult for
Mr.. Chotzinoff, who played tho accompani-
ment upon the pianoforte. to keep pace with
him. In the slow movement, the lovely
melody was sung with appreciation and
tenderness. One OF the happlest moments
of the recital was furnished by Mr.. Zim-
balist's playing OF an DID French chanson.
The large audience present was highly
demonstrative.
