Little Things

Little dimes and nickels salted
down today make the safest
pickles man can put away. Lit
tie spells of sickness jar a NOR
tails soul if there is no thick
ness to his greenback roll. Lit
tie docs and nurses throng
around his bed: little wabbly
hearses get him when he's dead ;
then his sad survivors wiring
their hands and whine if he had
no stlvers put away in brine. Lit
tie tlnhorn bosses fire him from
lis job, then the total losses well
come him and sob. Little cheap
reverses swat him many times,
then he rants and curses if he
lacks the dimes. Now a little
sheriff chases him with writs,
and such chaps don't care if he
throws forty fits. Little pewter
rubles, little iron men, drive
away your troubles, bring you
peace again. Note the little
spender, see him run amuck,
wasting legal tender, blowing in
the buck! He keeps going
stronger, with his trail of
smoke; wait a little longer, and
you'll see him broke.

 The Nightingale gave about 135

 ed more extra concerts for charity. People prominent in public life paid her great honors. Mayors and governors presented their compli- iments in person.
 Jenny Lind broke her contract with Barnum with 55 concerts yet to sing but the great snowman and the Nightingale parted friends. While visiting in Boston, she was married to Otto Goldschmidt, composer and
 pianist and shortly thereafter re- turned to Europe. In 1858, she took up her residence in England, where she died in 1887.
 There is no record of Jenny Lind S voice. But the journals of her time, the few people who heard her and those to whom the memory has been handed down all tell the same story -'fJt yyac 1IondorfllI ,,

JENNY LIND TO
 BE IGNORED
 BY AMERICANS

NEW YORK, Sept. l (by Associated Rress) America will pay tribute to Jenny Lind on October 6, the one hundreth anniversary of the birth of the Swedish Nightingale, whom P. T. Barnum brought to this country in of nearly two years. The centennial is to be commemorated throughout the music-loving world. In Sweden, in England and in other countries where she sang, fitting plans are under way to honor the greatest singer of her time-the fine, noble hearted woman, whose charity was as rare as her art
 Her admirers in New York city will They will give an historical concert A-reproduce the first concert Jenny Lind gave in this country, bringing back the stage picture and atmos- phere of that memorable night of September II, 1850. The same pro- gram will be given. The proceeds of the concert will be given to the same charitable institution to which Jenny Lind gave the proceeds of the origin al concert.
 Frieda HempeI will appear in the role of her famous predecessor. She will wear an exact copy of the gown worn by the nineteenth century diva; :; will sing the same arias, and play her own accompaniments to the same group of songs on the same piano Jenny Lind played then-a piano au- tographed by the Swedish Nighting- gale on the night of her debut.
 The centennial concert will be giv- en in Carnegie Hall on the evening of October 6. Castle Garden, the scene of Jenny Lind's first American triumph has been transformed into of the honor of housing another mem- orable audience
 It is contemplated to hold a centen- nial exhibit, however, in the old cir cular building in Battery Park from October 1 to October 10. Many of Jenny Lind's personal belongings and interesting relics associated with her tour here will be shown. The old con- cert grand piano will have it's place of honor.
 On the afternoon of October 6, the park commissioners of New York City will present to the Aquarium a marble bust of Jenny Lind and DOT for her when she was in this country.
 Other American cities where Jenny Lind sang are arranging to celebrate the day.
 Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm of humble parents. She sang from childhood and famous teachers be- came interested in her. At 12, her voice entirely failed. Four years later it came back and her remark able career began. Her first operatic role was Alice in Meyerbeer's Rob ert le Diable." Having been ac- claimed in her own country and in Norway, she carried her conquests to the continent and to England
 She was probably the most talked of person in public life in all Europe when Barnum, without having seen her or heard her, persuaded her to make a tour of the United States. No

House of Hapsburs.

The princes of the Hapsburg
line in camp and court now cut
no ice; they have to fast while
others dine, their stand-off's
bad, they lack the price. Some
eighty duchesseS and dukes now
stand around with frigid feet;
their titles now seem empty
f1ukes since they can't get
enough to eat. They send to us
the warning cry, from roofess
castle where they lurk, UNLESS
the ravens bring us pie, we
gravely fear we'll have to
work" With noble courage
thus they face a future fraught
with dread and fears, these
scions of a kingly race that
loafed for quite a thousand
years. Far better face the
headsman's AK than be a laun-
dress or a clerk, but proudly
they'll get down to tacks, and
if they must, why, they will
work. Their landmarks are for
ever gone, their world is jostled
upside down, and some cheap
uncle has in pawn the jeweled
.scepter and the crown. Too
proud to seek the craven's doom
by means of rope or gun or dirk,
they cry, amid the encirling
gloom, Just lead us to the hon
est work" And if for honest
work they look, they will not
need to travel far; I'd take a
duchess as my cook, and hire
duke to run my car.

Says Hartman.

w. Averill Hartman. president of

to Chairman Benson of the Shipping

poses of an agreement entered into

Importance in the development of the
American merchant marine.
Mr.. Hartman says the entire out
standing stock of the American Ship

the Kerr Steamship Company, is held
by American citizens, and that no
foreign money has entered into the

tween the United States and Ham
Ozrs ports OF high-type combination
FIRST. second and Steerage passenger
and cargo steamers. to be oullt In
American yards, and that Chairman
Benson of the Shipping BOARD has
expressed sympathy with the idea
of some such working agreement
with the Hamburg merican line as
has been contaminated.
The American company has secured
the services of a Mr.. Sickel. an Amer
lean citizen, who formerly was with
the neutrality-suspicious. line. He is
said to have severed his connection
with the latter line and has entered
the employ of the American Ship and
Commerce Corporation.
Original Agreement Changed.
Several changes in the actual con-
tract between the American Ship and
Commerce Corporation and the Ham
burg American line have been made
since the original agreement was en-
tered into, Mr.. Hartman says. When
details have been fully arranged, the
full text of the agreement will be
made public.
