The playing of the great violinist al
Dayton. o., during the autumn of 1914
inspired the following editorial in the
Dayton journal:
"a slender woman standing before a
gaping or innocuous multitude ! OF
course, we know that we are talking
about our neighbors as for that, we
are talking about ourselves and all oi
our kind. big and little.
But a bit of Almighty God stood
there clothed in flowing modest draper
ies-in her hand was the wand of Mer-
lin, and in her soul power that Merlin
never knew.
''Just a woman! OF coure she is Q
woman. woman charged and filed
with those finer and higher responses

terms of common manhood. is blind

swaying creature, whose bow called

gift which God placed in her hands Sc
many years ago. tThat gift she has
made to grow and multiply, even as
the man who employed his talent OF
gold rightly made it to grow and mul-
tiply. And can spirit like hers ever

"And she speaks to the neophyte as
well as to the initiated priest in the in
ner halls of the temple. We don't

Maud Powell can play as only the an

Curious Cannon.


Not only uniforms, but even cannon
have been made Of paper In the past.
THIS experiment was once tried by
Rrupp's, field pieces Of small caliber
being composed of metal core sur
rounded by compressed paper pulp.
The idea at the back of this was that
guns made of paper would, Of course,
be far lighter and easier to carry about
than guns made of metal
All kinds of substances have been
tried fer the manufacture of cannon.
Weapons of wood and stone were once
quite common. The Swedes in former
time used leather cannon, while in In
dia cannon of almost pure gold have
been discovered. When Cortes left
Mexico the Mexicans attempted to
copy his guns In china.
Perhaps the most extraordinary guns
ever manufactured were the six en-
ployed for the firing of salutes at a
winter fete in Petrograd in the year
l740. These had an effective range Of
about sixty yards, successfully with

said he wanted to see Mr.. Lincoln and

and his favorite story was lie Bour-
veois de Falaise." In the town Of Fa-
lise an order was for some good rea-
son issued that no one should go out
at night without lantern. The first
night after the issue of the order an
official ran up against a man in the
dark and took him before the authori-
ties. Where is your lantern:' 1T is
here" "But there is no candle in It."
Your order said nothing about can

bourgeois was again run into and

lighted" Your order said nothing

And each must make ere life be flown
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
