IN YE REALE OLDEN TINE
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The choir Of the Presbyterian church
under the able leadership and instruc.
ton, in the way rural concerts and en-.
terta1nments were conducted half Eol
three-quarters Of a century ago, OF
MRS. H. FL. Wheelock, entertained ar
audience which we'll filled the large
auditorium OF the church, Thursday
evening, with a programme correctly
built along the lines Of 'ye reale older
time" The concert was really re-
freshing for it was a pleasing depart.
ure from the modern concert and mus
lcal entertainment. 1t made. people
laugh most heartily and. numbers In
the audience. are hoping that another
such programme will be promoted be-
fore the close Of the long winter
/ months. -.... 4,~0,--n
1.-THE concert was splendidly designed
and all Of the singers, about twenty
ffve of them, were costumed in all sorts
OF quaint w and suits with hair
dressing to match, which disclosed the
TACT that old chests,"trunks and closets
had been ransacked for the things
worn many years ago by. the great
participants as given in the "lyste'
which headed the programme, will give
an idea of the old time ideas which
were used by Mrs. Wheelock, and they
were: :
-Jermiah Longmeter Clements will
beat We time with a styck., Sammie
Nugget Kurtz will We sing
, gers with We spinnet. "
Womenne singgers-Th Aske-
gard, Content Allen, Jerusha Bunce,

Clements, Zebediah Herbert, Sammie
Nugget Kurtz, Obadiah Trott McNair,
Squire .Otterburn, Younglove Pollock,

well Satory, Malachi Zutz.
Such IN entertainment must be seen
n heard to properly realize it's en-
Joyment in the funny doings and pos
ings of the "womenne'' and MEME
singers n players. The accompani-
ments were played on an old-fashioned
square piano, lighted by candles, by
George Ralph Kurtz, who, much of the
time, was splitting his sides laughing
at the scenes which surrounded him,
but he kept in perfect sympathy with
each and every n of the contributors
to the programme. Words are not to
be. found to adequately describe the
piano solo, programmed as "a, piece
son We %spinnet," by Humility Otterburn.
The lady's costume and her lingering
on the instrument as compared with
the style of playing now was very"fun-
unexpectedly the striking of the final
note at the extreme right hand Of the
instrument. No wonder the people
laughed. The renditions of Three

spring as when he first came to Am
erica. In his face one can see the
changes wrought by years of thought,
study, hard work and intense living.
The aurole Of hair Is still plentiful but
is fecked with gray. The face in re-
pose Is that of a stern. thoughtful,
even sad man, who for years has been
wrestling with great problems. The
eyes are as wonderfully compelling as
ever.
The impression one receives in look
ing at him now is that of mastery Of
self and all that the phrase connotes;
but when ne smiles one realizes that
the charm Of his personality is as
strong as ever. .''..
The ruling passion of Paderewski is
his love for his country. He is the
most typical Of Poles. Into Poland
he has poured his wealth with open
hands in the. aim of lettering material
and spiritual conditions. Three years
ago there was dedicated in Cracow a
magnificent monument given by Pad
ereWski to commemorate the five
~hundredth anniversary of the famous
victory by which Poland on July Is,
l410, routed on the field of rGrunWald
the Teutonio knights Of the Cross.
The same fall the centennial cele-
bration of the birth Of Chopin held in
Lemberg was the occasion Of showing
this remarkable man in a new light,
that of orator. The address has been
translated into English by his friend,
Lawrence Alma Tadema, and a quota
ton, from it will display Paderewski
to Americans in a new light:
Music is the only art that actually
lives. Her elements, vibrations, palpi-
tations are the elements Of life itself.
Wherever life is she is also, stealthy, in
audible u~nrecognized, yet mighty.
She is mingled with. the flow of
rushing waters, with the breath Of the
wind, with the murmur Of forests;
she lives in the earth's seismic heav-
1ngs, in the mighty motion of the
planets, in the hidden conflicts of in
flexible atoms; she Is in all the lights,
in all the colors that dazzle or soothe
u eyes; she is in the blood of our
arteries, in every 3 pain, passion,
ecstasy that shakes our hearts.
She Is everywhere, soaring beyond
and above the range of human speech
unto unearthly spheres Of divine emo
tion."

PADEREWSKT'S RETURN TO
THE UNITED STATES

Ignace Jan Paderewski is returning
to the country for a six months stay,
in which time he will give eighty
concerts from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast and from Canada to the
gulf. This will be his ninth tour of
the United States. He has already
given here $50 odd concerts and the
American public has paid close to ST.
1900 700 to hear him play says Mr..
Henderson, music critic for The Sun,
| New York.
The Paderewski of 1913 is in many
ways a very different man and artist
from the PadereWski Of 1891. Although
the passing years have touched him
lightly they have brought with them
many changes both in the man and in
his art.
The Paderewski at the age Of 80,
when he first swept the American
public off its feet by the wonderous
beauty Of his playing, was a slight but
we'll built man of moderate height,
whose erect carriage gave the i'm
preston Of more inches than he
possessed. His slim, ~colorless face;
his strange mysterious eyes and above
all his wondrous nimbus of golden
hair created upon all who saw him an
undying impression. 1t semed as If
his appearance realized ones ideal of
the lyrical poet, and when Burne-
Jones painted his portrait the English
artist had before him in the flesh such
a figure as he had for years been
creating out of his fancy.
Paderewski's art al that time was
a true reflection of his appearance.
He was in truth the lyric poet of the
piano. His caressing touch, the ex-
quisite singing quality of his tones,
the poesy with which he filled every
work gave a delight altogether new.
1t SO Paderewski still has the slim,
upright figure of his youth. His car
riage Is as erect, his step as full of

THE HOUSEWIFE

1t is she who makes ready the army
when the day is at hand,
When the bugle Of labor Is blowing it's
mighty command.
Oh, fierce are the feet of the workers
who answer the call,
But sWifter and fiercer the toll thai
hath weaponed them all.
Do we boast of their Drawn? Do we
trumpet the cause Of the fighter
Who marches at rise of the sun?
Lo! look to the woman! The heat Of
her labor is whittier!
Ere the work of the world has begun.
She Is up, and her banners are flying
from yard n from alley,
The roofs are a-f1utter with eloquent
streamers Of snow,
Oh, no for a moment her passionate
fingers may daily,
Till the soldier is shod and is fed and
s made ready to go.
FOh, weary the heart OF, the host when
. the battle is done,
But the woman is laboring still with
the set Of the sun.
