Rafael Joseffy Was Noted for His
Genial Courtesy-Rebun That
He Once Received.

Rafael Joseffy was among the most
famous and also the most finished
pianoforte players generation ago,
and one of the most charming players
of Chopin's music, I fancy, that ever
lived, says H. Il. Krehbiel. One of his
most amiable traits was his want Of
artistic jealousy and his unfailing
kindness and courtesy toward his COL
leagues. This no less when he was in
the heydey of his popularity as vir-
tuoso than after he had retired from
the platform to the regret and won
derment of his admirers, who were as
numerous as the lovers Of pianoforte
music.
During the decade from 1880 to 1890
he really had no rival among the pian-
lists who gave concerts in New York.
His popularity burned with a steady
and lambert flame no matter how
much enthusiasm blazed up for these
newcomers. All of these Joseffy met
in spirit of unselflsh sympathy. He
took Conrad Ansorge under his wing,
metaphorically speaking, and always
treated him and spoke of him as if he
were a peer, il not a better. He ac-
claimed Rosenthal and always has
tened to the artists room with his
Fluctuations whenever a new candi-
date for public favor presented him
self.
His conduct was not always appre-
ciated or reciprocated, as an anecdote
frequently repeated by his friends in
dicates. When De Pachmann gave his
first recital in New York Joseffy was
as usual among the first to offer his
congratulations.
Herr Pachmann," he said, you
played like a little god!"
Who's the big god?" was the I'M
gracious retort. You, perhaps?"
But Joseffy expressed no resent
ment at the rebuff; he kept on admir-
ing the admirable things in De Pach-
mann's playing just the same and also
expressing it.

A grim expression crossed the face
of Ralph as he repeated the weird
name. The island itself carried out
the somberness of the situation.
Lonely island was a three hundred
acre patch in the middle of the swift
rolling river. 1t had been in the fam
lily for fifty years and during that
period had done nothing but grow

Of leasing. buying or occupying it.
But Ralph resolved now to make
his home upon it. Was it not prop
erty, and his own? BY diligence might
he not wrest some return for his hard
work? The prize, Myrtle, seemed far
enough away, for Allen Bruce had
decided advantage over him. Still he
must live, he must make beginning,
and the end Of month saw a rude
but comfortable cabin erected at the
extreme north end of Lonely island.
At the end of another month Ralph
had cleared five-acre stretch of its
underbresh. preparatory to doing
some real farming the next season.
One day he received a visit. It
was from a man Familiarity known as
Quaker Wilson. The latter was an
intensely religious and industrious
man, an old bachelor, odd in some of
his ideas. but thoroughly honest and
dependable
"Dering.' he said, in his quaint,
open way, Il want you to set me at

Ralph smiled at the mere sugges-
ton.

Ii was a better bargain than Ralph
had at first calculated At the begin
ming of November, after thirty days
hard work, he had the satisfaction
of having cleared over five hundred
dollars from this unexpected windfall.
Then came a second seeming stroke
of fortune. A stranger rowed over to
the island one day and introduced him
self to Ralph as the agent of a for

all the standing timber on the island.
Ralph was puzzled and amazed at the

Senator Weeks contended the present method of conducting campaigns were both wastetul and inefficient He proposed tC return to party ma chimes" Ire national, congressional and senatorial committees should work together and not separately, he said. and funds should be collected by a central bureau.
