to make six shirts for him.
Anxious to accede to his wishes, the
mother hunted long and finally found

condition. The lady liste1ad in silence
to the request and then invited the
widow into her bedroom. and there she
opened a cupboard. which contained q
human skeleton.

CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Passing of the Milk Train, Not Charge of Bull, Caused Young Farm
 CTS Haste.

In rural New England the passing of a railway train Is still a matter of public interest quite astonishing to visitors from the city. Last summer three ladies from Boston hired an abandoned farmhouse in northern New England, in region devoted to dairying. One warm August day they walked through the rocky pastures to a farmhouse three miles distant, In quest of two weeks supply of butter.
 On learning that they had come through the fields, the farmers wife exclaimed; Why, you can't bo back that way alone! Our bulls out there in the back lot, and only day fore yist'day he treed my son-in-law on a stun for two hours. I'll have him go home with you"
 With some misgivings on the part of the women, the little procession started back under the guidance Of the young man. the ladies carrying had gone about a quarter of a mile. when the escort suddenly called, ex- citedly: Come on!" and started on a run toward higher ground.
 Thinking that they understood the occasion of his activity. they needed no urging to follow him. On and on they sped, throwing away their but ter as an impeachment to their speed. Finally, bathed in precipitation and gasping for breath, they sank ex- hausted on a rocky ledge whither their guide had led them.
 Standing just above, he waved his arm in dramatic gesture toward the valley below, where freight train could be seen crawling slowly out from between a cleft in the hills. and shouted: There she goes-the milk train!"-Youth's CompanioN

Florence Austin.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

America has produced two women violinists to whom Europe has cordial ly accorded place among the great musical artists of the world. They are Maud Powell and Florence Austin.
 Miss Austin is a western girl by birth. For two reasons, however, she is now resident of New York. The first of these is that her high stand ing as an artist makes it almost neces- sary for her to reside in the American metropolis, where she is beloved and honored figure in the group of great musicians who combine to make New activity, both in the fields of creative and expressive musical art. The sec ond reason is found in the fact that her teacher, Ovide Musin, is now at the head of an important school of music in New York, and insisted that Miss Austin, who he considers his star pupil, become member of the faculty of that school.
 Miss Austin's first teachers in America were Henry Schradiock and the famous woman violin virtuoso, Camilla Urso. After several years under the tutorage of these eminent artists, Miss Austin went abroad and entered the Royal Conservatory of Liege, Belgium, of which institution IOvide Muslin was professor of the vio- lin at that time.

After but one year in the Royal Conservatory Miss Austin carried off the first prize, with distinction" for violin playing in the largest contest in the history of the conservatory. there being "A other contestants. The jury that sat in the judgment upon this contest consisted of such famous mu- sicians as Eugen Ysaye, the renowned vlolinist; J. Debroux of the Paris Con- servatory; Felix Renard. the compos- CT; M. Leanders, director of the Con servatory of Tournai, and Tn. Ra- doux, director of the Liege Conserva- tory. After the contest Miss Austin was personally congratulated by these distinguished gentlemen upon the quality of her playing.
 She remained abroad several years longer, studying repertoire and ap- bearing in numerous concerts. Her New York debut was made, with ex- ceptionally brilliant success. in Men delssohn Hall, and she has made nota- ble concert tours all over the country, though continuing her work as the most important violin teacher next to Muslin himself, in this great virtuosos New York school.
