The kocian Recital.

Keokuk is Justly proud Of her
taste In musical matters. And that
taste ought certainly to be more re-
fined today than yesterday because of
the hearing of Jaroslav Kocian's violin
recital at the Grand opera house last
evening.
His program was without doubt,
above the heads of his audience as a
whole Most of his listeners, while
they admired his mastery technic
and enjoyed the wonderful pure tones
drawn from his violin In the Tschai-
rowski Concerto in d Major and the
Bach Ciaconna. were not sufficiently
familiar with these classics to under
stand them.
The most genuine enthusiasm of the
evening was displayed after Mr.. Ko-
clans rendition of his lighter selec-
tons: The Wieniawski Polonaise, and
best of all, the Picturesque Intermez-
70, his own composition, which was
given an ovation. 1t is a delightful bit
of gossip in music; fanciful, delicate
with quaint and catchy syncopation
in the first movement. The second
movement Is more serious, and full
of delightful melody. Mr.. Kocian
was obliged to play another of his
own compositions, following this num-
Der, and it too, was heartily applaud
ed.
In the various movements Of the
Paganini Hexantanz, the artist dis
played finish in both lingering and
bowling, and distinctness of tone
and a beauty OF Interpretation that
gave both pleasure and satisfaction.
Mr.. Charles Haubiel, the pianist
and accompanist of the evening, did
| far better than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances. In
deed, the tone and volume he sue.
ceeded in wringing out of very old
and obstinate piano, were truly re-
markable. After playing a Pastoral
of his cwn composition, he was re-
called. All of his selections were en-.
joyed and heartily applauded.
| There was capacity audience, one
whose interest and enthusiasm in
creased as the program proceeded.
Thus Mr. J. E. Baker, under whose
personal direction the recital was Civ
en-. scores another success, and In
yokes the gratitude Of Keokuk people
who are having some of the best art
lists brought for their hearing.

works have become immortal who
stopped to pun. Shakespeare, as il
well known, was an inveterate pun
ster, and DIR. Johnson, in his preface
to an edition of the poets works, Sc
verely censures him for playing with
words on serious occasions. For ex-
ample, in answer to King Richards
question:
What comfort, man? How is't
with ancient Gaunt?" the playwright
puts into the mouth of Gaunt the
words:
'Oh, how that name BELTS my COM
position! Old Gaunt, indeed, and
gaunt in being old. Within me grief
stains from meat that is not gaunt 2"
Hamlet is made to pun, too. When
the clown digging graves in the
churchyard, in answer to the question,
Whose graves this?"- says, Mine.
SIR" Hamlet replies:
II think it be thine, indeed: for
thou lest int" And later adds:
Thou dost lie int, to be int and
say it is thine; tits for the dead. not
for the quick: therefore thou lest"
The puns of Tom Hood are well
known. In "Faithless Sally Brown"
"Faithless Nellie Gray" and THE
Duel" to mention but few, almost
every line contains pun What
verse of Faithless Sally Brown"

WALLACE IS DEAD.
Shared With Darwin in Setting Forth
Principles of Evolution.

London, Nov. ALFRED Russell
Wallace, an eminent British scientist,
died here today.
Professor Wallace, the Grand Old
Man of Science, shares with Darwin
the horors of having set forth the
scientific principles of evolution.
He was the author of more than
200 books treatises and monographs.
Wallace's bent toward scientific re-
search dated back to a collection OF
beetles which he began as a school
boy and to complete which he made
an expedition to the Amazon in 1913
A year or two later he visited
Sumatra and Java and discovered that
the Malay archipelago was divided
into a western group of islands, which
in origin, are oriental, and an eastern
group, which are Australian. The
two groups are divided by a narrow
belt of sea known as Wallace line on
the opposite sides of which the fndi-
genous animals are as widely diverg-
ent as in any two parts of the world.

Topeka is looking with encourag e-
ment upon the merger Of the two big
traction companies. The long proposed
interurban between Kansas City and
Topeka and Topeka and the southwest
always has been a dream of Topeka
interests.
With the authorized control of the
Atchison line, it is believed now that
northeastern Kansas will come in closer

and Wichita through Atchison, Jeffe--
