When q. J. de Coppet engaged four
musicians to play for him and for his
yuests in his villa, "Flonzaley," on
lake Geneva, he had no idea that this
organization would develop, within a
few years, into the most famous
chamber music body in the world.
The fact that the F1onzaleys did
achieve this reputation. is due largely
to Mr.. de Coppet who made 1t pos.
sible for the musicians to give all
their time to their work as a quartet.

DEATH OF JOSEPH HOMER

We received long distance mes
sage Thursday afternoon at o.
clock from Frank McReynolds, stat
ing that Joseph HOMER, Of Mosinee,
but formerly long time resident of
Grand Rapids, died Thursday, June
H. The funeral services took
place Saturday morning at 10 o'clock,
at Mosinee.
Mr. Homier left Grand Rapids for
years of age at the time of his death
While here he was in the mercan--
tile business and conducted his store,
which consisted of general merchan--
disc, on the corner of second and
Vine street, where the Wood County
National Bank is now located. He
will be kindly remembered by all old
settlers, who knew him in those
days. He was a man of excellent
character, high attainments and of
social and genial disposition.
Mr.. Hounier was born in Montreal,
Canada, December Z, 1829,and was
therefore eighty-four years and
half old. When sixteen he left Mont
real for New York City, and after
one year there he went to New Or
leans, at which city he enlisted in
the Mexican war, serving about z
months. He afterwards lived in Buff
falo for some time, and came to She
boygan in 1852. In 1854, he moved to
Grand Rapids, where he kept a gen
eral merchandise store for twenty
years. In 1874, attracted by the
possibilities of Marathon county, he
moved his stock to Wausau, where
he remained for six years, going to
Mosinee to live in 1880, and remain
ing there until his death. Of later
years he has not been in active
business.

COMPETITION FOR LITERARY
SUCCESS.

An idea of the intense rivalry pre-
vailing in the field of literature is
given in the competition for the $10,-
900 prize offered by Winthrop Ames
OF Boston, for the best American
play Although any one must have
realized that the capture of this prize
was the interest gamblers chance, the
judges had to consider 2646 manu-
scripts.
The many people who are constant
iy trying to break into literature en-
terrain a widespread conviction that
there is a conspiracy against the
new writer among publishers. They
consume large quantities of postage
stamps and haunt postoffice. When
the manuscripts come tumbling back
it is because the publishers did not
read them, or could not detect bud
ding genius.
The award of this prize suggests
that literary success takes long train
ing. The judges Cid not know who
wrote any of the manuscripts, so
this contest was purely on merit.
The money went to Miss Alice Brown

ton
Writing is a trade like shoe max

It is astonishing what an enormous

THE GREATER INTEREST IN THE
HORSE.

1t does not add TO ones sense Of
slider the question whether the do
nestle animals on our streets are
well cared for or not Most people go
their ways, comfortably obliYious as
to whether horses are well fed and
kindly considered or the reverse. 1t
creates an unpleasant sense Of re-
sponsibility when one sees a maltreat
ed animal, a feeling that it is ones
disagreeable duty to interfere.
However, the horse seems TO have
more friends than formerly. in a
great many places work horse pa
rades and horse days are being
held at this time OF year. The sum
mer is period of highest strain for
these faithful helpers Anything that
attracts attention to their needs is
useful
Plenty of cases of neglect can be
found on the streets of any town
Drivers of horses who are careless
in treating horses regard it as off
,,rous and impertinent when people
call their attention to such neglect
The groceris boy will crack his whip
loudly over his horses head, if he
sees some specially jealous friend of
animals passing along the street.
Nevertheless, the person who pro-
tests against cases of cruelty per-
forms a service.
The most obvious ill-treatment &C.
ours along one of three lines: Insult
ficient feeding, lack of protection a.
gainst insects, and badly fitting har-
nesses. Many drivers fail to remedy
the last difficulty, simply because it
would take them five minutes to
punch a few extra holes in a strap.
The poorly fed horse is the discon-
tented horse. He plugs along the
street at a discouraged and dropping
pace, and balks at fair sized load.
He returns no dividends to his own
er, and is a discredit to any home,
place of business, or farm.
