An Artist From
New Zealand

Next Wednesday, Richmond .ex,
poets to enjoy herself greatly,
How? Well, by the way the tickets
have sold, we imagine that a great
many OF the Junior know the rea-
son by this time. We are going to
enjoy some really good music. we
are going to hear something that Is
really beautiful. At least that As
what we expect to hear, and from
what other people say who have
heard Madame Aida, for she is the
one who viii sing to us, We do not
think that we can be disappointed.
Madame Aida is soprano singer
OF the Metropolitan Opera Company
the greatest opera company in
America. She is called the -Prima
Donna OF that company, which Is
simply the Italian for First Lady"
She was born in New Zealand.
Her parents are English. Fame
did not come tapping at her VIM
dow; she knew she could sing and
liked to sing and then she worked,
and after long, hard time, she has
become acknowledged as an artist
of song. The critics, or people that
have heard her, who can judge sing
ing, say her voice is very rich. and
very sweet. And people who have
known her, say she is a very lovely
!, lady too, and does many, many
things to help other people.
One time she organized a tbene-
fit concernt, the money from which
was to &c. toward providing musical
entertainments for the boys OF
Uncle Sans navy, and how much
do you thing they made from that
concert? Wrong. They mades$47,-
600.
The program hasn't appeared as
yet, but we think there will he all
kinds of songs on it that we will
besso4glad to hear, especially when
Madame Aida sings them to JUS.
Probably she will sing the "Marseil-
laise," which we can not hear too
often.
We hope the Juniors, a great
many of them, will get to hearsher
to, sand If they dom get to hear her
real self, perhaps they scan hear
some gof the many records sshe
makes for the Victrola.

1t was six men of Indostan, /
To learningl much inclined,
WbOvwent 10 see the elephant

Thateeach by observation /
Might satisfy this mind.
They first approached the elephant
And happening toffall
Against his ibroad and asturdy sside,

~GOd biessvme fbut theeelebhant

The second, feeling Of the tusk,
Cried: fHo! what have wethere,
so VERY round and smooth and
sharp?
To me It's mighty clear.
This wonder ofsan Elephant
Is VERY nkesa spear!"
The third approached the animal, |
And happening to take
The ssquirming trunk within his
hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
Il see" quoth he, ~the elephant
Is very like snake!"
The fourth reached ont his eager
hand,
AND feltaAboutt the knee:
"What most this .wondpous beast is
like,

"rIis clear enough the elephant
Ills very nkeaastree!"
The fifth, who achanced 10 touch

Said: "E'ensthe blindest man
Can tellgwhat thisrresembles most !;
Deny the. lset1whoccan.

The sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast TO sgrope,
Than, setting ON the swinging tail
That fell within his sscope,

is very like aTrope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each IN his own opinion
Exceeding stin and strong;
Though each was partly In the
right,
A. And all were IN the wrongl !

chap of ten years who attached
himself TO- A. E.. f. headquarters in

regions. The boys, ofecourse, were
wild about him andgwanted to adopt
him. But the commanding officer
would not permit the little chap to
hang around the headquarters. In
the first aplace it was against the
rules; in the second place the boy
should lbe in school. The boys
could not understand French and
brought the little chap to our COM
mittees headquarters to see what we
could find out about his people.
Alas, his father had been killed
in action, his mother killed in the
sbombardment of a town and in the
evacuation someone had given him

to ride con the train aas far as he
could towards the village in which
his grandparents lived. He was

1t Might Have Happened to Any One.

A thin little woman of middle age
was half-plaintively and half-defant-
ly trying to explain to three of her
small-town neighbors:
81 amt heard the last of that fire
yet and am gettin' pretty sick of it.
You'd think to hear 'em talk that
everybody in this town would a ruth
er burned up than to get out the
way I did. Stickin' up their noses at
me about little thing like. that,
when it might happened to any of
'em.
"Of course, have nightgowns and
l wear them every night just like the
rest of you. And just before, I'd
made a lot of nice new ones with
tucks and lace insertion and every
thing. That amt anything; every
body has new ones with lace and
tucks, but I want you to know that l
had 'em, too. And I'd put 'em in my
top bureau drawer, right where I
knew where they were any time. But
that night I was wearing one of my
old ones. That amt anything; any
one d want to wear out her old ones
first.
"And when I woke in the middle of
the night, and the room was full OF
smoke, and I could hear the firemen
yellin' outside, and the water comm
On the roof, the first thing 1 thought
of was: It's fire, and me in this
old nightgown.' And I knew I could
put my hand right, on one of the
new ones all folded nice in that top
bureau drawer just few steps away.
So / just slips off the old one and
lays it on the foot of the bed, and
steps over to the bureau and-the
bureau amt there! Then thinks I
real fast like: That old one is a lot
better'n nothin'!' So 1 starts for the
foot of the bed and-the bed amt
there!
"And all the time the smoke was
gettin' thicker'n thicker, and the
folks outside were yellin' louder'n
louder, and I could hear the roar Of
the fire and the sizzling of the water
on the roof, and it all sounded so
dangerous. Thinks I: i've just got
to get out of here somehow, night
gown or no nightgown.' Just then I
runs into the wall, and I drops down
on my hands and knees and crawls
along the wall It'll I come to the out
side door; and just as I reach the
door my hand strikes against that
ball of carpet rags that I'd sewed
and rolled there in the corner the
day before. And thinks I to myself:
Lord knows, a ball of carpet rags
amt much, but it's better'n nuthin'.
So, I just grabs that ball of carpet
rags in one hand, opens that door
with the other and runs. And so far
as I can see, it might've happened to
any one."-Cartoons Magazine.

this time she lost all headway, the
list was very decided and she was

At last the bow was raised per-
pendicularly to the water, over 100
feet in the air, the foremost parallel

She began to settle, sliding down,

firm hand were directing her course
to the bottom.
When about 80 feet of her bow
was still showing, and the foremast
just level with the water, she hesi-
