Professors Remark.

A certain high school professor, who
at times is rather blunt in speech, re-
marked to his class Of boys, at the be-
ginning Of lesson. II don't know why
it is-everytime get up to speak,
some fool talks" Then he wondered
why the boys burst out into roar Of
laughter.-Lippincott's Magazine.

The enormous number Of defective

plenty of evidence that 1t Is an olo'

man himself-but now more evident
because there are more people. It Is

Roosevelt and Harvester Trust.

Even Mr.. Roosevelt has some wick

there is a loud demand that he purge
himself Of the contamination Of the
support Of George w. Perkins and
Medill Mccormick, who are conspicu-
ously connected with the Harvester
trust. Up in the Red River country
they do not think the reaper combi-
nation is a good trust, but evidence Is
offered that while he was president
Mr.. Roosevelt prevented its prosecu-

I.ondon's Water Men

From the London Chronicle.
The watermen and lightermen of Lon
don can trace their occupation back to
a very remote past. In a statute of Henry
VII. passed in 1914. for regulating their
fares. it is recorded that it has been q
laudable custom and usage, TYNE out of
mind to use the river in barge or winery
bote.' And the annals OF the Water
mems company, give an interesting ac-
count of a dispute as far back as 1898,
concerning the charge for the convey
ance of passengers from Gravesend to
London. The regular rare was onehalf
penny for each person. but some I'M
scrupulous boatmen charged passengers
penny. So the offenders were taken
by the sheriff before the justices of as
size who admonished them. and made
each waterman give bond of 40 shillings
for future good behavior.

Great Audience Is
Charmed by kubelik

To those who missed getting TO the
Kubelik concert. Thursday evening, in
the Light Guard armory. because OF
the severe weather. II will be welcome
news that the great violinist will play
i'm Detroit again, Saturday evening,
March %, with the New York Phil
harmonic orchestra. Despite the un-
favorable conditions following one OF
the worst storms the city has known
in many yeafs,.-the armory held an
audience. Thursday evening, that any
artist might have taken as a great
compliment TO ihis drawing powers.
There were not many vacant chairs
and there was great deal Of applause
and appreciation for the artist.
Mr.. Kubelik has always been fav-
orite in Detroit and he has never
appeared TO Better advantage nor
played more beautifully than he did
last night This genius OF the violin
has reached the point where his play
ing and his musicianship are above
the ordinary rules OF criticism Great
er perfection could not be expected
OF mortal While Kubelik may not
sway his hearers with the passionate
sweep of Elman he makes an appeal
that no other violinist possesses.
Everything he does is exquisitely fin
ished and polished. The tremendous
technical difficulties OF the heaviest
show piece ever written for the violin
Kubelik makes appear mere child's
play. His tone is lovely in its quality,
his bowling broad and his fingers shed
notes as clear as drops of crystal
water. The program numbers were
selected with view to showing every
phase of Kubelik's art. and the man
ner in which each number was re-
ceived was conclusive proof that the
result aimed at mad been obtained.
The opening Tschaikowsky violin
concerto in ID major and the closing
Pagamini Campanella were the big
numbers and in them Kubelik showed
his complete mastery of the violin. In
Hubay's Scene de la CZarda, Kubelik
put himself into his fellow country

the player stood forth as an example
