WONDERFUL DREAM.

| dreamed that the Hon. Bill
Singletery of Oxford, Miss. had
invented one of the most won
derful, one of the most phenomi-
nal inventions of the age. He
has shown the greatest inventive
genius in the history Of the whole
civilized world. His name will
sparkle on the pages of history
for ages to come for his superior
inventive genius. Now, every
body knows something of the
Cream Extractor" and the in
valuaols service it has been to
mankind. The physicians know
about the Extractor" that is
used to analyze drugs, to extract
one element of medicine from
another, as Arsenic from Strych-
nine, etc. Bill has far surpassed
any OF these inventions, he has
surpassed the inventive genius
Of the medical world, he has sur
passed the inventive genius of
the most noted scientists. Bill
has invented a machine, known
as the Ignorance Extractor"

With his winking it. In fact they
pulled" him all away, but three
small hairs in the back of his
head and then the doctors decid-
ed II was not necessary to pro-
coed futher with the operation.
Hon. Bill Singletrry tried his
machine on Tom Wilson. but
Toms ignorance was SO great
that it ''ousted'' his machinery.
Then he applied it to Capt. w.
Z. NELL, but the captain, knew so
much his machine would not
stick" on him. When the ma
cnine was applied to Hon. Bob
Adams, he was so heavily charg-
ed with ignorance that the ma.
chine bounced back about fifty
yards. In fact he grabbed I'D an
ink bottle full of ink and it look

E. ID. Nichols one. 1t may be
possible that the Hon. E. ID.
Nichols did not know how to ap-
ply the machine properly, but
after giving him some fatherly
advice, he finally reluctantly
submitted to it. The Hon. Bill
Singletery gave Will Woodward
a very close and careful exami-
nation and says he has a light
touch of this disease and is rath-
er OF the opinion that he will
have TO be operated on later.
Now, he applied his machinery to
Hyman Friedman and his case

Music in America.
rom the Philadelphia Press

E'rOm Cne fnllauelpRla fTeSs.
It would be a delightful combination,
which every patriot certainly would like
to see, if music in America meant in
every sense American music. We have
not quite reached that level, though ali
along the line there is promise that it
will not be very long before music in
America will have such d large element
of American music in it that our position
in this respect will command as much
attention the world over. it is hoped, as
our success in producing the world great
music does at present. In this latter par
ticular we, naturally, having no preJu-
dlceS, racial or national, are quite
able to surpass any of the great music
centers abroad. Without any exception
every one OF them is more or less bound
by convention and prejudices. To such
an extent is this true that the musical
interpretations move along very narrow
lines. these lines being determined largely
by their national affiliations.
Just what we have done in this respect
is often not appreciated by our own peo-
pie, and it is almost continually misunder-
stood by the foreigner who lives on the
other side, as well as by the visiting for
eigner who does not stay long enough TO
get the facts completely In hand. But
that our method with regard to operate
production and orchestral matters has
achieved astonishing results has just
been commented upon by one of the lead
ing foreign musicians in New York. On
returning from a tour of Europe he fatty
came out with the statement that when
it came to concerts. orchestral and other
wise, opera and even music in hotels, the
United States was far ahead of any given
country in Europe.

in the creation of mighty industry

was it merely by application of we'll
