Nine. Schumann-Heink
Beams on Late Arrivals

There was no intolerance in the smile
Of Nine. Schumann-Hcink yesterday af-
ternoon at her concert at the National
Thcater, as she waited for the late ar
rivals to seat themselves. With the
usual disregard for courtesy they filter
ed IN all through the first group Of
songs. but no INDIGNANT prima donna

're,zingly dignified silence for them to
quiet down.
Instead n warm hearted gracious
Friend smiled greetings from the stage
side OF the house. to several hundred
peop'e on the other side. taking ad-
vantage of the delay to give her greet
ngs.
The dignity Of the occasion was
sounded by the first rather formal and
religious number Bach's MY Heart
Ever Faithful" given with a sincere
and fervid warmth of mellow richness.
Then followed four opera arias, the
Che Faro Senza Euridice," from Or

three arias from Samson and Delilah."

SCHWAB GETS BACK

So Surprising He Cannot Make

NEW YORK, Nov. 21-Charles NJ
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, was IN a happy mood
today. after returning from a short trip
TO Europe.
Mr.. Schwab, who was a passenger on
the Olympic when she attempted to save

and sad that tho turning point II in

near.
The war supplies are not enough
alone to turn the tide. although they
will have considerable effect" he said.
We are due to return to normal con-
ditfons, anyway. and il is about time.
This is the first optimistic opinion | have
given for three years. The United States
viii be the only country to benefit by
the war. For example, Germany pro-
duces normally from twelve to fifteen
million tons of steel annually, of which
about eight million is exported. This
is now shut off, and the advantage is
with US. We are recovering from the
shock of the war, legislation is such
that capital has more confidence, and
business is being stimulated. At Beth
lehem some time back we were forced
partly TO suspend operations. but We
shall soon be in full action again, and
We shall increase our production
''Will the benefit to trade in this
country be permanent. The benefits will
continue for at least ten years. Capital
has become more confident, and recent
legislation has been beneficial, and
would stimulate all commercial enter
prises i'm the country. II is not true
that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
needs more capital We have all the
money We need.

Suspected Livestock DESTROYED.

Miles City. Nov. 9.-One thousand
head OF livestock, which includes one
Car of horses and mules and other
loads of dairy stock, were destroyed
by federal and state veterinarians at
Glendive. to save the rest of the state
from infection. The train of livestock
got as far as Miles City, when it was
turned back by Deputy State Veteri-
marian Johnson, in accordance with
the governors proclamation. The live
stock was billed to Rosebud. Hysham,
Clyde Park. Big Timber and two points
in the state of Washington. No symp-
toms of hoof and mouth disease were
detected among the horses and mules,
but the cattle were dying when they
arrived at Glendive on the return trip.
The carcasses of the cattle will be
burned and what remains will be bur-
led in quick lime and the yards will be
thoroughly disinfected.
Miles City shippers who had planned
to ship livestock to Omaha instead OF
Chicago during the tieup of the Chi
cago yards on account of foot and
mouth quarantine. have decided not to
ship for ten days, as it is believed any
shipper who ships within that time is
taking chances on having his stock
quarantined and possibly killed.

see one Of our physicians, who quickly
realized that there was nothing what
ever the matter with him and that he
was merely suffering from the reverse

disease suffering"
In the patients hearing he told a
student to fetch the largest forceps he
could find and added. 1T may hurt
him. but l can remove the growth"

the physician as he plunged the for
ceps down the mans throat "Heav-

right" the physician said. Il have
got it away"
The man went away not only speak
ing, but swearing. and it is said. but
I will not vouch for the rest Of the
story, that his wife came back a week
later and begged us to do something to
the man. who talked so necessarily to
make up for lost time that they were
