chairmen yesterday afternoon at DEM

the coming municipal contest. 1t
was decided to hold the Democratic
primaries Monday evening, March 20
and the convention the "Wednesday
night following. The idea is to allow
the usual time between the convention
and day of election. All the chair
men agreed that it was best to post
pone the primaries until late In the
month, and though two days was suf-
ficient leeway between the primaries
and the convention. The matter of
collecting and dispensing campaign
funds was also talked over. Satur
day afternoon a delegation Of bust

and told him if he was renOm1nated
he would receive their votes. They eX-

AVE AND MIDDLE ST

Kansas far-famed cyclone cellars
are to be put to new use. When
man in that favored state wants to
smoke in future he will go into his
retreat and puff his corn cob. If the
bill introduced in the Kansas Legis-
lature is passed it will be about the
only place where he can smoke. 0. P.
Jewett is the name of the sponsor of
the measure, and when it comes to
enmity for poor old 'Nick O'Teen,"
DR.. Pease and Anette Hazelton, of this
city, would do well to look to their
laurels.
OF course Mr.. Jewett does. not
smoke himself. Naturally, he does
not see why any one else should. So
he proposes that the State of Kansas
shall, by means Of a duly passed stat
ute, make it as difficult to indulge in
the weed which was SO much abhor-
red by the late Mr.. Dowie.
The bill provides severe penalties
for any bold criminal who shall smoke
in the street, or puff cigar, pipe or
cigarette on any train, street car, om-
nfbus rim any taxicab, carriage, pub
lie park or public place. Neither shall
there be any smoking permitted while
on horseback, or on the caboose of
freight trains. If a man has home
he may smoke there, but he must give
his children away or dispose of them
in some manner, because he must not
put a pipe in his mouth if he has any.
If a man smokes IN his office he
must be incarcerated, and not only
that, any one who sees him commit
ting the crime is liable to arrest UNI
less he promptly gives information to
the authorities.
Certain dens are to be set aside in
clubs for the pestiferous villains VINO
will persist in the habit of which Mr..
Jewett disapproves.
Certain smokers of an ingenious
turn of mind have considered the
practicability Of construction of cap
tive balloons, the baskets Of which
would be. fitted out with easy chairs
and other appurtenances to smoking
comfort as another resort. 1t has
been argued that they would be COM
paratively inexpensive, owing to the
of "hot air. in the State,
which would serve to keep them a1oft
When so inclined, the hopeless and
confirmed smoker would make an as
cension and have his smoke.
Aside from this, and the cyclone
cellars and clubs aforesaid, there will
be no more smoking in Kansas if Mr..
Jewett's masterpiece of legislative
genious becomes part Of the law of
the state.

$4,000 Stradivarious
For Young Russian

New York, March s.-Elias Bree-
skin. 20 years old, who came here
eight years ago as a Russian immi-
grant, is the owner of a Stradivarius
violin of 1903, known as the Rouge
mont Stradivarius and considered one
of the rarest and finest violins in the
wrld. He received it last week as a
gift from Edward Schafer, a member
Of the Stock Exchange, who bought
it from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Com
pany Of 113 West Fotieth street, for
$4,000, together with Tourte bow
at $3.50.
The story of how Mr.. Schafer be-
came interested in the young mans
musical talents, how he arranged for
his training under one of America s
greatest violin masters, how the boy

Poland, before his parents were oblig-
ed to leave Russia because of the

America and settled in Washington.
Through the generosity of a wealthy

that whatever success he gained

enough to support himself and his

CAROLYN BAILEY TALKS
ON "STORY TELLING" AT
MEETING OF TEACHERS

A very instructive and entertaining
meeting was held yesterday afternoon
in the City Normal School Assembly
hall, in Wheeler avenue, when MISS
Carolyn Sherwin Bailey spoke to the
faculty and students of that school, to
Miss MARY Mills kindergarten stu
dents. and to other teachers OF the
public schools of the city, to the num-
Der of about 300. This was Miss Bal
ley's second talk on the general topic
Of '4Skory Telling in which she is a
recognized authority.
Miss Bailey spoke first of the quail
tiles of a good story for children, and
spoke especially Of the construction OF
that story as q definite artistic thing.
Her points were that the story must
have suspense must be saturated, and
must have a definite climax. She IL
Illustrated this point by rendering 1.-The
Greedy Parrot an East Indian myth.
Miss Bailey then took up the ques-
ton of the story program, and de-
clared that the appeal to the emotions
of the child in the story is practically
identical to the appeal to the audience
in musical program. She claimed
that the first story in the program
should correspond to the overture in a
musicale. tending to arouse the emo
tiOns and get control of the attention
Of the listeners. The next number
should fbe a longer, more complicated
selection, corresponding to the sonata,
and that the final one should be short,
with weIl-defned climax. She illus
trated her idea OF a story program 10y
giving three stories, which were dis
tinctive in their organization and cor
responded closely to her theory.
Miss Bailey believes that stories told
to children should be classified under
one Of four heads, according to theme,
according to race, according to period,
according to author.
