Hopes Women Will

Glass of hot water each morn ing helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy bright, alert-vigorous and vivacious--a good, clear skin; a nat ural rosy complexion and freedom rom illness are. assured only by clean, wise every man could realize the won ders of the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place.
 Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complexions; in- stead of multitudes of nerve wreclSs," ''rundowns," brain fags," and pessi- mists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy checked people every where
 An inside bath is had by drinking. each morning before breakfast, glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days in digestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stom- ach
 Those subject to sick headache, biI : iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism. colds; and particularly those who have pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation.

that all we'd learned about the dolce" passages in Nipples on the Alabama" was trash, bosh. and tommy rot, and maybe it was then that the old softness faded from our faces and we cultivated Schubert and Chopin and Bee thoven" expressions, and raised our eye brows to world weary angles when any thing so ingenious as our once beloved 'Maiden's Prayer was mentioned.
 Those of us who go to the theatre often must admit that there is an accepted style of 'music,'' ridiculously like Eddie Foy's face or the turn in the corner of May Irwins eye, or the droop of Marie Cahill's mouth.
 There is the "ragtime' face; the "slow drag expression that some artists wear under their eyelids when they shout their "coon' songs and other trash.
 It has come to pretty "howdy-do.' we admit it amiably and honestly when not words, but faces, have been set to mu- sic
 See here," shouts stage manager write piece of music so that MT. "So- anl-So'' can go off stage doing his star trick, which happens to be walking or his ear" So there!
 But then there is another side to all this; while there are faces that suggest rag time and musical comedy, at the same time there are others that suggest all that is intellectual, and beautiful anC artistic.
 Take MT. Emil Oberhoffer for instance the distinguished conductor of the Min neapolis orchestra.
 Have you ever noticed MT. Oberhoffer's clear-cut, classic, features as he stands with his profile to the audience, his bator raised, ready for the first notes of some great soul-stirring symphony?
 What has been your first thought Isn't it this; a world of noble compost tions, wonderful music, full of dreams and peans of conquering heroes trium- phant over all evil?
 Isn't it the spirit of Bach and Brahms and Beethoven incarnate reaching out for the loftier and more beautiful cadences Isn't it that he suggests the bearing out of the promises given to "him that over cometh'' that he shall all things inherit
 Curious, it is, and matter for thought; maybe the tragedy of it all is that some of us with ''musiscal comedy" faces have grand opera dreams and aspirations.

.NNE of the characters in an earlier
 novel by MT. William J. Locke is W responsible for the statement that faces are as varied as thieves in music and literature.
 For instance" the woman in the story remarks, "some faces are hymns-an- cient hymns-while others might be Sal yatfon Army songs; some people have gay, little musical comedy faces, and there are others who suggest battle marches and professionals.
 Whether each face is set to some par ticular form of music is open to dis cussion, but few of us will deny that there are faces suggesting tender spring songs just as there is the eternal mother lool5' in some eyes that suggest twilight '1ullabies" and nursery pray CTS"
 When the poet sang long. long ago of the fair Julia, declaring there's a gar den in her face" he hastened to reduce the same garden to lilies, pale and crim- son rose blooms and pouting cherry lips So, the face stood, not for a material garden, but for it's poetic semblance; set to music, the same face would prob ably have suggested moonlight seren- ade; love etherialized by a ribbon-strung guitar, turned under my lady's'' bower
 I know a girl who has always said that her Aunt Tabitha a "war-time belle, had face that goes with the old time airs, When You and I Were Young, Maggie" and Listen to the Mocking Bird"
 A very wise writer once declared that every face in the world was either history or prophecy, which isn't, after all, disagreeing with the idea of MT Locke that each face suggests some musical theme or idea.
 Most of us have lived in an atmosphere sufficiently musical to have known some genius, or to have at least heard some one play who by listening attentively to them we evolved the idea that he was a genius.
 Sure, an I know" said an Irish maid once, about a visitor to the home in which she was employed, T know the gintleman is a great musician bekaze he niver by any chance plays a chune out of the pianner."
 Time was, not so many years, when music lessons was a most lady-like profession for spinsters; then it was that we banged and banged on "five-finger exercises not in "Opus this or Opus that" and also on deliciously imagina- tive ''pieces,' say the old favorites, ''The F'rolic of the Frogs" with most anus ing cover" design to spur our tagging

A Mere Incident

From Judge.
 "Ohl We understand that you had an exciting adventure night before last?' tentatively remarked the able editor of the Pclkville (Ark.)) Weekly Clarion.
 ''Nopep' nonchalantly replied MT. Gap Johnscn, from out on Rumpus Ridge. Not me! You must be thinking of some other Johnson. That was the night that bunch of seven or eight fellers, that had been noratin' around that they wa going to shoot me at sight for a little suthin' or nuther, called me to the door and all took a shot at me. I dropped to the floor crawled over and got my shotgun, crope out the back way, slid around the corner of the house, and sorter sifted both barrels of buckshot round amongst 'em impartially. They all went away then, except three or four and I went to bed. That was all that happened that night, as fur as I recol- lect."

 large audience listened to the 4~4 second concert of the Minneap- oils symphony orchestra in this city.

 An audience rival to those of grand opera was present last evening and lis tened with interest to the beautiful strains of The Blue Danube" and the many wonderful selections.

THE WORLD LOVES MUSIC
By MRS. J. B. REID.

That the world loves high class music is much in evidence. There were hun dreds of strange visitors on the streets yesterday, many remaining over through the Symphony concert, after attending grand opera the previous night.
