COMPOSED SONG AT AGE OF 6
Camille Saint-Saens Was One OF the
Most Interesting Figures In
Modern Music.

All the world of music was sad
dened in December 1921, by the an
nouncement of the death of Saint
Saens, Frances most distinguished liv-
ing composer and one Of the most in
teresting of all modern musicians.
In the sacred opera, Samson and
Delilah," Caruso. in the role of SAM
son." made one Of the most sensational
successes, and to him Is due largely
the recent popularity In America Of
this Saint-Saens' greatest opera
Camille Saint-Saens (1835-192D is
one Of the most interesting figures in
modern music. He was wonder
child" for at the age Of two years he
began lessons and in six months had
completed a whole piano course, I'M
der the tutelage of his aunt.
At seven he was admitted to the
Paris Conservatoire as pupil Of the
famous Halevy in piano, and later Of
Benoist in organ and Of Charles GOu-
nod In composition. When he was ten
he played so remarkably well that his
mother invited a group of prominent
musicians to hear him, and in the same
year, at their suggestion, he gave his
first concert, playing Bach, Handel,
Mozart and Beethoven.
All Europe raved over his genius.
He played brilliantly in concert in all
parts of Europe and England for more
than 20 years.
At six years he had composed some
little dances and song, lie Soir." At
sixteen he wrote a symphony. In the
history of music there Is not a more
versatile name than his. From this
time on he composed all sorts Of mu-
sic cantatas chamber music, piano
concertos, organ music, symphonies,
symphonic poems and songs.-The De-
lineator.

with the oxygen.

with the oxygen.
A cartridge contains two ounces OF
lampblack. and this absorbs seven
ounces of liquid oxygen, which is
made quite cheaply from liquid air by
allowing the nitrogen. which evapo-
rates at a lower temperature, to boil
away, leaving the liquid oxygen be-
hind.
The advantages Of the new explosive
are many. 1t can be made at the spot
where it is to be used. and is perfectly
safe till the liquid oxygen is poured
into the hole where the SCOT cartridge
has been placed. No poisonous gases
are set free by the explosion, and II
the cartridge fails to explode 1t ceases
to be a source Of danger In about
twenty minutes, when the oxygen has
all evaporated and the cartridge is
merely SCOT.

A New Contraption.

They were giving dinner party ana
the coachman had come in to help wait
at table. Several guests had suffered
from his lack of experience, and in
serving peas he approached a very
deaf old lady and inquired:
"Peas, num-
No answer.
"Peas, mumr Nouder)
The old lady saw that some one was
speaking to her, and lifted her ear
trumpet to the questioner. The coach
man, seeing the large end of the trum-
pet directed toward him, thought:
1T must be new way of takin' 'em,
but s'pose she likes 'em that way"
And down the trumpet went the
peas.

kinq Robert the Bruce.

A little more than century ago
three workmen digging in Dunfermline
Abbey, Scotland, came upon a vault
containing a body covered with cloth
of gold under folds of sheet lead. The
breastbone was found sawn asunder.
1t was the body of King Robert the
Bruce, whose dying request to have
his heart carried to the Holy Land
had been obeyed by the Douglas.
There are 10 royal graves in Dunferm-

SCOT USED AS EXPLOSIVE
VIII Blast Away Coal and Rock Al
most as Effectively as Dynamite
Soaked in Liquid Oxygen.

We scarcely think Of SCOT as an ex-
plosive yet it is now being used as
such, and SCOT cartridges will blast
away coal or rock quite as effectively
rs dynamite.
OF course, the SCOT has to be pre-
pared for its new purpose, and this is
done by. soaking 1t in liquid oxygen.
The finely divided carbon Of which
the SCOT is made up absorbs large
amounts Of oxygen, and the cartridge
explodes owing to the instantaneous
combustion Of the carbon in contact

ABOUT MEN IN GENERAL

No gentleman is ever too busy to be
polite.
Aggressive men sometimes acquire
regulations as knockers.
We feel sorry for the poor man
whose wife talks in her sleep also.
The best way to convince woman Is
to let her go ahead and do it and re-
gret it.
| Sometimes an old man who seems
as spry as a young one will say he
| feels so.
An extremely polite man frequently
succeeds in making the other men feel
awkward.
A man could make money with five
fingers If he didn't have ten for it to
slip through.
Whatever a mans air castle is, he
probably wouldn't like it very well
when he got there.
There is always an opportunity
waiting for the man who wants to be
friend in need.
The trouble with a great many men
Is that they expect months vacation
every time they do days work.
Men might be more gossipy II 1t
were safe; though most of them are
imperfect enough to be charitable.
Man wants but little here below, but
when he fails to get it he bowls just
as much as if he wanted the earth.
A conceited man should visit GEM
etery and realize how many truly great
men have died without the world shut
ting down.
The man who can be happy with
what he has is infinitely richer than
the man who has to wait for what he
may or may not some day get.

ladies at the Court House in Black
foot on Tuesday, October 9, at 2 p. m.

an educational lecture on the well

Health"
Miss Leiby has travelled throughout
the United States to lecture to the

Those who praise you are Of the

When liberty is gone life grows in

Quarrels would not last long If the

they may not be subdued by discipline.

portance in friendship than relation

A woman seldom asks advice be-

|CospsENrs ON THE BIG FIGHT

Jack Dempsey again retained the worlds heavyweight championship in his bout with Tommy Gibbons at ShAby, Montana. July 4th. All the details of the fight that were avail- able are given in another article Of this issue of the Nugget. Since the fight there has been various reasons advanced by fight fans of Nome on why Dempsey did not knock Gibbons ! for a ..small row of soup Kitchens. l Among some of the principal reasons advanced by the local fans are the following: Dempsey wanted to let the bout go the limit in order to get more money from the Movies. an other. Dempsey after seeing that thdke was no danger of being knocked out played with Gibbons to give the crowd g run for their money, and still. Gibbons was too clever for Dempsey to put away. and still yet, Dempsey has lest some os the punch that he heretofore pos sessed in his blows. and @t last but act least. Dempsey did the best he could. ,WI
 We are not experts in this manly art of self defense but having pushed the lea.ter" a bi, in the mast, a few comments on the fore going reasons perhaps will not he amiss. First take. into considera- tion that Dempsey was to receive three hundred thousand dollars for the fight alone which he no doub: did, with this amount of money at stake and his reputation as fighter along with the possibility of other bouts in the near future that will possibly net him as much if not more than this one, could Dempsey reason ably be expected to willfully let the fight go the limit and take chance on being the one that got knocked for an Eskimo high jump" himself, we think not. And as far as Demp- sw seeing that there was no danger in being the one who got ko'ed, that can not be, for Tommy Gibbons Is a, dangerous man at any time while he is on his feet in the ring. Then comes the dope that Tommy was too clever for Dempsey. This may be we do not intend to take sides as long as we did not get to see the r--.nsv~ v~sseas dusting contest" and knowing the two men as we hap pen to know them. Jack Kerns, Dempsey's manager. says: Tommy fought like major using his head all the way" Dempsey's conclusion was that, either Tommy was capable of taking all the punishment that he (Dempsey) could give or that the blows that once had the power to stop the other fellow had lost some of their force.
 Taking all the dope that came in over the wires as it was. we are un- der the impression that Dempsey did his best to stop Gibbons and failed, which is no discredit to the Champion. So far Dempsey has been an invincible champion and a good clean fighter let us give him credit due.
