Pleasing Musical
Program Is CiUen
By Mrs. RICHTER

Madame Peggy RICHTER. soprano,
and Poseph Schilling, pianist, pre-
scented an interesting program at
their recital given last night in the
Rotary Room Of the Oliver Hotel
under the management Of Mrs. j.
Albert Harris.
Mrs. RICHTER possesses a voice of
quality and charm, and she produc-
es many exquisite tones. Her low
tones are particularly sweet, but her
higher registers are not remarkable.
1t can be said of her Interpretations,
that they were most interesting.
This was especially true of her folk
songs. and Loves Philosophy"
Mr.. Schell.ng is a pianist who az
times wakes brilliant but for the
most part ne seemed unable to get
any interpretations into his work.

was well done and the technique
which Mr.. SChellins revealed in this
number was unusual TO say the least.
1t is a difficult thing for any artist
but Mr.. Smelling handled it with a
skill which showed evident study
and a deep understanding
Of Mrs. Fighters program, the
best numbers. besides her Irish,
Scotch and French folk songs, were
Governs THE Swallows" with which
she opened the recital The Lass
With the Delicate Air a catchy,
frivolous thing, by Arne; and Ser
enade," by Metra
Mrs RICHTER was generous with
her enCOres and showed good judg-
ment in picking them. She is more
at home in the lighter type of song
than in any other, and It is 10 this
class that she should devote her
efforts.
Ethel Stuart Gaumer's work as
accompanies was a bright feature
of the evenings performance.

A CLEAN DlTTY

The waters Tapped melodiously, Against the high white cliffs Two ivory crafts dipped OCT the swells.
 Two merry dancing skiffs. Our heros soul filled with the scene, He raised his voice in song, And OCT the enamel mountain tops His chant rose clear and strong. He sang of the woods, the dells the fields
 Of each beautiful plant and shrub, And as he sang, the neighbors knew That Jones was in the tub.

g ANCIENT HISTORY
GOES THRU FLOOD

Ancient history" from afar off,
which has passed tru the yigors of the
June flood in Pueblo and been resur-
rected by County Clerk Barber from
lot of old papers in down town
office he maintained before being
elected clerk. is in the form of let
ter or part of one, written by y. c.
Miller, Of Herne Bay England in 1892,
to the mayor of Pueblo.
Mr.. Miller must have used good
quality OF ink. for while the letter was
thoroly soaked by the flood water. and
has been six months in the drying, II
is for tho most part fairly legible still,
tho written with a fine pointed pen IN
England few days more than thirty
years ago.
The writer states he has learned
tho from what source he does not re-
late) that this the region round about
Pueblo Is being devastated of it foli-
age by great swarms of Grasshoppers,
and his purpose in writing the letter is
to make some suggestions looking to
the eradication of the pests.
If the hoppers are travelling on the
ground Mr.. Miller suggests that great
bitches might be dug with plows and
spades with a steep side toward the
oncominx hosts: when the hoppers
fall into the ditch until It is filled,
petroleum should be poured on them
and this set on fire.
Another plan is to make great
smoke OF dry weeds set on fire to the
windward of the approaching swarms
of hoppers.
But the plan which Mr.. Miller seems
most to favor is the stringing of wires
in front of the advancing army of
hoppers, and having these wires heav-
fly charged with electricity, thus cleo
trocuting the hoppers.
Mr.. Barber was doing newspaper
writing in those days, and the letter
