NN NE of the great critics, perhaps N y the greatest of them all, has
 said of Mir. Fritz Kresler, the greatest living violinist:
 ''The others try; kreisler alone plays"
 Perhaps the expression is a trifls prejudicial; but nevertheless, the critic has not. hesitated in pronouncing this supreme enconium upon the virtuosity of the remarkable vio1inist who will pre- sent one of his most beautiful pro- grammes here next Wednesday evening, January 5, when he is presented by the "Ali-Star Concerts at the Jefferson.
 There are four types of violinists. To one of them belong players like Paganini and Kubelik, who owe their popularity chiefly to their amazing brilliancy of execution. Remenyi and Ole Bull, pa- triotic folk-music players. illustrate am other type. To third, the intellectual belong artists like Spohr and Joachim. The fourth, and highest, includes players like wagners favorite violinist, Will hslmj and Frit Kreisler They are emotional players par excellence Remenyi and Ole Bull also were emo- tional, but in humber sphere. What makes Fritz Kreisler the greatest of liv- ing vio1inists is that he can play almost anything in such a way as to appeal to our feelings. He performs the miracle of making the Brahms concertos glow He plays the Beethoven concertos as no one else does. and has written cadenzas. some of them that surpass anything Bee thoven himself could have done in that line
 Most remarkable, however, among the gifts of this musical necromancer is his power of bringing back to life pieces long supposed to be dead. He does this by infusing into their arteries his own red, warm blood. Has anyone except wilhelmj ever had such seething tone as that with which 1 Fritz Kreisler plays Pugnani's prelude?" asks one of bis adiniring critics.

 time ago as tho ''Fsx-Mill Girl who WAS the author of Helen of Four Gates. remarkable novel that called forth muctg encornium among critics and readers. first in England and then in tho United States. two or three years ago. The success of her first novel made the story oG her life seem almost like some new twentieth century version of Cindereila's fortune For she was the daughter of poverty, had grown up in a wreteched little mill town ill Lancashire, and when Il years old had herself been forced by the pres sure of necessity to go to work in the mills. and there she had toiled daily for a dozen years or more. But she had an unsuitable thirst for Knowledge and for good literature and this she seizcd upon every opportunity to gratfy. III every spare moment she was, studying or reading the best books she could find, and while her hands were busy at her
 loom her mind was weaving the plots and creating tho characters of stories she hoped some day to be able to write. At last came the opportunity to leave the mill and take position as shop a-s- sistant, which gave her more money and more leisure and enabled her to begin to write some of the stories she had for years been longing to put down upon paper. Helen of Four Gates" was tho first fruits of this better situation and its instant success assured its author that she would now be able to follow the literary vocation for which she had all her life longed. And a little later came romance and marriage. Now she sends forth her second novel And all within three years Could Cinderella herself have wished for more?
 'a1Tie Tanning of Nan is a. very differ eret kind of story from Helen of Four Gates" dealing less in those elements of the worldly terrible, that caused so many to compare some of her peculiar gifts with those of Emily Bronte and of Poe It is less direct h motive and it's plot moves more slowly and with less con- centration. But it is constructed upon a broader basis and the whole atTnos- phere of it is moro human, more genial, | less tense and stormy. The title appar- ] ently would make Nan Cherry, middle aged vixen, the central character of the l story. But for most readers the character 1 of chief interest will be, as one guesses i it was for the author, that of Mans | husband, big, good-natured slow w-thinking l Bill Cherry, a station porter, who loses l his legs, and so his means of making & | living, early in the tale.

ness, he will execute It with musicianly
 logic and common sense. If it falls short of his intention, as shown in due
 course of time. through public tests. Mir. Kroisler will be the first to admit the fact, and work henceforth on other lines.
 But there is every reason to expect grander forms, of this great man. MT. Kreisler is not only a player, but a thinker. He not only rejoices in mei- ody ana rhythm. but he knows tho world, has lived, and reflected on life. These are things--these and the fully adequate technic of composition which Mfr kreisler has developed, that result in significant music. So the musical world is once more agog over the do- ings of Fritz Kreislcr, and asks itself. with pleasurable anticipation and curi- osity, What next?"
 The story is told by one who knows, of how one day Fritz Kreisler, today one of the most famous and financially suc- cessful of virtuosi, was recalling his poverty-strcken youth. 'Tn those days in Vienna" he said ''my friends were divided into two classes: Those whom [ could and those I could not borrow money of" But If Kreisler was born without the proverbiai silver spoon in his mouth, he was given most of the other good things which tho gods may confer on a. single mortal He was given a powerful physique. an extremely quick mind, a sensitive faculty of observ- ance, love and understanding of many things beside his art, and an infinite ca- pacity for enjoying life which was and is predominating characteristic of the man.
 In those days Vienna was a hotbed of culture, the resort of all the leading artists of Europe, and perhaps the gayest city in the world. 'We didn't work" said the late Richard Epstein, referring to the student days when he knew Kreisler in Vienna We just had talent"
 And al a cafe table one night sat Fritz KreieIer, Arthur Schnitzler, the Vien- nest author; Hugo Wolf composer of immortal songs, then an enlbittered and genius; Otto Weiningon, who wrote Sex and Character" and aft erward shot himself at the ago of 24; Nortiz Rosenthal. then young man of little account, and another man whose name is no longer remembered, but who was then believed to have a. tremendous future as a virtuoso.

Beresford, S. D, prints the follow
ing editorial:
THE Republic has carried for long time
a series of messages in the form of adver.
tisements, ordered and paid for by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana). There is
a notion on the part of many that every
thing that corporation does is of selfish
nature, and that there never is a vision of
the peoples good, These messages have
carried an entirely different tone, and we
believe they are worth reading from week
to week. The data this week is very
interesting"
The recognition of the sincere effort which
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
put forth through these advertisements to
inform the public as to its purposes, poll
cies, and ideals, is gratifying.

organization, the business OF this Company

Further, the 25,OOO men and women who
make up this organization are putting forth

for the people, that the Directors are glad

Through these advertisements they are

comment favorably.
