SINGING BEFORE ROYALTY.
Th Part Mary Garden Found to Be
the Very Hardest.
3iary Garden, the famous opera
singer, rsays that it bores her to sing
before kings. Her highly personal com
ments cn some of the royalty of Eu
rope reproduced below are taken from
an article in the American Magazine
in which she gives an intimate and ex
tended account of hjr experiences on
the stage:
"Singing before royalty Is perhaps
more ol a professional than a social
distinction. 1 have done it many times,
but it tores me to distraction. It is
ach a nuisance. I never sang for the
czar. But rdid sing before the English
court, the old court of Edward and
Alexandra. The king slept through it
all, as heavy a sleep as I have ever
seen. But the queen would always pat
his hand at the time to applaud and he
would vake up.
"The king of Greece, a brother of
Alexandra, was a special friend of
mine. He used often . to come to
where I was singing. He told his
sister of hts admiration for me, and
she bad me come to Windsor to sing.
While there I would sing and courtesy
and walk off again.
'I am afraid I'm an anarchist in my
heart. X don't love to courtesy. There
are some who are not kings such as
Marconi, who has done big thingsto
whom I would go down on my knees
because of their achievements, but I
Just hacl to get my courage in my two
hands to courtesy to the king of Eng
land. It went against me.
ADDING MACHINES.
Thy Are Not Newr as Pascal Invented
One In the Year 1642.
The adding machine Is of modern de
relopment. but not a modern invention,
a passable one having been invented
In 1042 by Pascal (1C23-1GG2). a cele
brated French geometrician, philoso
pher and writer. Later, In 1671, the
adding machine was modified to facili
tate multiplication by Gottfried "Wil
helm Leibnitz, a German mathemati
clan of great achievement, and his in
vention was followed by many Im
provements. A notable experimenter in this line
was Charles Babbage (1792-1871), an
English mathematician, many years
professor of mathematics at Cambridge
university. In order to secure accu
racy in tables of logarithms he con
ceived the idea of doing the work by
machinery and was commissioned by
the British government to superintend
the construction of a machine for the
purposes. He spent much time and
money In experimenting and attained
some remarkable results, but died be
fore perfecting his machine.
All calculating machines contain cer
tain features devised by special refer
ence to the work to be done. Including
circular metallic disks, wheels with
teeth,, etc., ingenious, but not more
complicated and no more responsive to
human Intelligence than many other
machines. The thinking is all done by
the operator. Philadelphia Press.
The Australian Blacks.
It is believed by many persons that
the blacks in Australia are dying out
As a matter of fact, says a correspond
ent of the London Standard, no such
thing is happening. The belief, how
ever, is easily explained. As civiliza
tion advances, and it Is yearly advanc
ing, the blacks recede farther and far
ther into the back blocks and unknown
country, save a few who nave acquired
the craving for opium or drink. Thesf
latter succumb amid the advancing
wave of civilization and seldom leave
any children. Those who have passed
inland, if they do not lncsease, have
certainly not decreased. In some few
cases whole tribes have died out when
civilization has reached them, but these
have usually been small tribes.
Foundation of a Fortune.
The late William Gibson, who left a
fortune of half a million pounds, was,
when a little watchmaker in Belfast,
one day examining a watch which had
been sent to him for repair. It was
during the time of the Belfast riots. A
stone was thrown through the shop
window and hit Mr. Gibson In the
eye. Under the malicious damages act
Mr. Gibson was awarded 6.000. This
was his start In life. London Sporting
Times.
First Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The Thanksgiving proclamation was
originated by Francis Bernard, "cap
tain general and governor in chief over
his majesty's province of .the Massa
chusetts bay." It was issued Nov. 4,
1767, and the form was that which has
been in suostance adhered to ever
since.
Formosa's Ancient Tree.
In Formosa there is a tree between
2.500 and 3,000 years old, with a circum
ference of sixty-five feet and the low
est branches forty-five feet from the
ground. The tree is a species of cy
press, the Japanese benikL

STILL .DEPEND ON CAVALRY
That Armies Scon Would Get
Along Without That Arm.,
The horse is holding his own in the
present war. Dispatches mention
"clouds of cavalry" screening theGer-
man advance. Parties of uhlans scout i
far and wide picking up information j
which is sent back to the main body. J
From East Prussia, from Galicia and j
from Belgium come reports of cavalry )
engagements. That troopers are the
eyes and ears of armies is an old say
ing that is being verified every day.
The aeroplane is very valuable, and so
is the automobile, but neither displaces
the cavalry. Cavalry can act on the In
formation they gather in an Instant,
they can see and strike simultaneous
ly. Plowed ground that might stall an
auto is no obstacle whatever to capa
ble cavalry int3lligently commanded.
All great armies cherish their mount
ed troops, and make provision for re
mounts. If the cavalry competition
depends on the supply of horseflesh
Russia has a great, advantage over all
other European nations. It is esti
mated that within the czar's dominions
are more than thirty-three million
horses, two-thirds of which are in
European Russia. According to the
latest available statistics Germany has
4,500,000 horses, France about 3,300,
000, Austria-Hungary 3,800,000 and
Great Britain nearly 2,200,000. The
United States, with more than 2 0,000,
000 horses, is admirably qualified to
become a great cavalry country.
APPLY SLOAN'S FREELY FOR
LUMBAGO
Your attacks of lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem.
You can relieve them almost instant
ly by a simple application: of Sloan's
Liniment on tho 'back and loins.
Lum'bago is a form of , rheumatism,
and yields (perfectly to Sloan's, 'Which
penetrates quickly all in f thru the
sore -tender muscles, limbers np the
back and makes it feel fine. Get a
bottle of (Sloan's 'Liniment for 25
cents of any druggist and 'have it In
the honse against colds, sores and
swollen joints, rheumatism, neural
gia, sciatica and like ailments. Your
money 'back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief

E ALL realize that when there
new-fangled tango or the old
must pay the fiddler.
We cannot have music without paying for it, nor can we havo much of
anything in this world without paying for it
If we expect any person to do something for us, we expect, naturally, to
do something in exchange for such favors as we receive. If we accept favors,
but evade the responsibility qf making any returns for them It will not fca
long before we discover that the unpaid for favors become curtailed.
Probably we become provoked, after the favors have stopped, and ac
knowledge our own stupidity. It is generally too late when wo wakci cp
and then It is merely the old story over r.gain-of locking the door after
the horse has been stolen.
Many of u in this community devote more or less of our time to. the
raising of produce of various kinds. 7e have vegetables, butter, egg3, mill:,
etc., to sell. i " '
We find It a convenience to sell such products in the local stores. Gono
of our business, men buy up the small quantities, aa well as the larger lots,
and ship all together to the more central markets.
This facility for disposing of snch articles is a great convenience o us.
If the local storekeepers did not buy our produce it would bo difUcult for ti3
to find : a market. In fact, there would be no market for email quantities
except at ruinous prices. - . .
Therefore we are favored, to a very considerable extent, by th a fact
that our local storekeeper stands ready to buy from us. This places U3 under
certain obligations. The local storekeepers are entitled to some considera
tion from us in return.
HOW MAN Y OF US APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THI3 FACT?
How many of ua think of this when we have some cash to spend? Hott
many , of us consider that the local storekeeper Is entitled to our trada cud
that we are morally bound to consider him as tho proper repository for uzr
orders and the recipient of our trader?
It Is regrettable that many of us mast pi end guilty to an entire f orgctf nl
ness of any.' feeling ;of bbUld:' tTit8refoitw: ; we send our orders, w ita li:c
cash, to the mall order houses, to whom we owe nothing.
We are enrttlced by cleverly writtsa advertisements and ncstly worclrd
descriptions of goods and merchandisa so that w deceive ourc:!vc:3 Into ts
llevlng them to be true. We fcrg the local storekeeper and his favors; v;a
forget that he Is a benefit to the community and to every Individual i'n
community; we forget that he Is affording us an opportunity to dlrpose cf
our produce that has his money invested In a stock cf merchandise thst
he has selected because he believed ve wcutd need such crtlcles and vsttid
wish to buy the m at home.
Every dollar w send away from homo to tho mall order housea brinsa
tis closer to. the. limitations of our local oppoxtunitle3. Every dollar diverted
from local trads adds to the restrictions of our trade facilities at homo co
that we are not only permitting, but we are inviting, our local merchants to
close up shop and go out of business; or to move to come community whero
their efforts will bo more appreciated.
By our lack of appreciation we are urging our Iocs! storekeepers to re
strict their efforts to carrying only the lines of merchandise that are th's meet
profitable for them and to cut out all goods that we can buy In the city. WSo
are actually Inviting disaster.
, LET US AWAKEN TO A REALIZATION OP THE CONDITIONS WHICH
CONFRONT US. LET US PLACE SOME LIMITATIONS ON OUR DICRE
GARD FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.
. We can eeo what the consequences must be if we fail to do our tharo
toward supporting "the establishments of our business men In town, for tto
handwriting is written plainly on tho wall
Shall wo read the writing and profit by tho message or shall wo continao
to dance merrily and foolishly on until the time shall como when wo must
pay? And how shall we pay? , v
There will be only one way to pay and that will be with much more than
the profit we shall have derived from our dealings with tho mall order hocej3.
WE WILL PAY DEARLY UNLESS WE AWAKEN TO A FULL SENSE Or
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, AND AT ONCE. , .
We wish to dance, but let us change the tune or tho fiddler.
