 Its easy said the magistrate. That's the way all these cases where two persons claim the same dog are settled.'
 So Mrs. Batten presented her cvi- dence.

 Wilhelm, tail wagginS. ran and licked her hand. Then it was Miss Ardols turn.

 Fannie sat up and looked happy. The judge wore a puzzled look. Then he thought of the famous case King Solomon handled so adroitly.
 "Very, we'll" said Magistrate Russ. 'we'l cut the dog in half and each can have part"
 Suits me-" said Mrs Batten and Miss Ardol agreed.
 The astonished magistrate asked for g. week to think it over.

 The violin solos of Mrs. BarsCh.
 with Theron W. Hart at the piano, came next. They were the Prelude
 to the DelugC, by Saint -Saens. the
 Romance in F Major, Op. 30, by
 Beethoven, and the Souvenir de
 Posen, by WicniaWslli. In all of these
 Mrs. Barsch displayed pure singing tone that was a delight, while the technical demands of the closing number were splendidly surmount- cd.
 A novelty rarely heard was duet for two sopranos, Loveliost Violet, by Reinecke, given by Mrs. Howard F. Horton and Mrs. F. J. Carney. At the piano Mr. Hart cx- plalned that the composition was ln canonical form, which meant that one voice sang exactly what the other sang. but the voices entered at different times, so that during periods when both were singing the one voice was merely a number Of bars in advance of the other. The unique number was beautifully done and the singers were rewarded with much applause.
