Unique Concert.

A description of unique concert
which have read in German paper,
says a writer in the London Daily
News, deserves to be rescued from
oblivion. In one Of the prisoners
camps are number Of Russian mu-
sicians, who have formed a chorus
and an orchestra, which are appar-
emily so good that the inhabitants Of
the nearest towns were anxious to
hear them. The commander of the
camp accordingly agreed to allow
them to give a concert of Russian
sacred music in the principal church
of the town. Germany always has an
eye to business nowadays, and the
takings, which were considerable, were
devoted to the beneft-not of the
Russian prisoners, but Of German
prisoners in Russia. Among the sing
ers, see, were two who have appeared
with the Russian opera company at
Drury Lane.

Just an Incident,

On crowded rush-hour car the
other evening there was homeward-
bound citizen who carried a bag of
flour over his shoulder. There was no
seat for him; every time the conduc-
tor cried 'Move forward, pleased" he'd
bunch the bag into more comfort
able position and bore his way a little
farther into the crowd. He was about
in the middle Of the car, and could
not move step farther, being wedged
in on all sides-when it happened.
Yes, the sack broke. We never saw
sack of flour that went so far. Ev-
erybody in the car got some of it, but,
Of course, the mans immediate neigh.
bors Jared best. They looked like anna
teur Santa Clauses, every one of them.
They didn't appear to enjoy it, either.
And to make the tragedy complete, it
happened on wheatless day.-Cleve.

THE uNlNTEREsT,No TIME.

I'm getting scar and old
have passed Life's day of gold,
And I'm nearing where the evening
breeze is signing!
Age-dear fellow!-seems to say:
eve have come long, long way,
And there's little left for us that's worth
the trying!"
We have made our journey by
Rocky pathways-Age and l.
Aid we've shared whatever Fortune
CHANGED the giving;
Happy we have been and glad,
Luckless, too, and drear and sad,
But we've cheerful been and known the
love of living.
Now we've reached the end at last,
Youth and Happiness are past
Tasteless now the cheerful words of sage
and poet;
"You are DID," the echoes say;
Though we're silent on our way
In the hearts of us it's very well we
know it!
Not by gray are we betrayed,
Nor our features do they fade;
it's apparent more in our success at WOO
ing;
We can still charm maids of six,
And the "girl of forty" sticks,
But the Queen of Twenty-one-there'
nothing doing!
