Sn'tiufnt.-tion.
Th strict Wagnoritet refuses to
hear tho music of his favorite com-
ponT in tin; concert-room. It was
never intended lie will tell you to be
performed by itself hut to he played
114 nil accompaniment to the union
for the pufjose of hei'liteiiiii;f the
elled of the intensely dramatic siluu-
tions eoujiled with fe'orpi -ous fctago
pictures that are inseparable from
Wagner's famous art work says the
London Mail.
The most important part of a War-
ner opi ra iiecording to (he composer
himself is not the music but the
ill aina nhicli indeed ' t he beginner
.should elosi ly follow with the aid of
I he bonk of words since the music
i usually sung in (irriiimi words.
Th intruding Wagncrite should
also begin with the master's mos.t
Kipular works. "Tannhaust r" and
"Lohengrin." He will then at onee
recogni.o the familiar music he has
ilreiuiy heard -so often at concerts
and struck by itB beauties lie will
attend many performances of these
I wo. Next year he will want to hear
these again supplemented by "Tris-
tan mid Isolde" that wonderful music
drama so charged with intense emo-
tion and passion. Having heard "Tris-
tan" and liked it he thereupon be-
comes a full-fledged Wngnerite in the
true sense and the season after he
attends performances of the "King
des Nihcluiigen' or he may make a
Miprcine effopl to get to I'.eyreuth.
H'rom I'.eyn uth he returns the ar-
dent disciple of a musician whose
name lie terrifies his friends by pro-
nouncing in the German fashion not
Wagner but "Vaachkner."
Tliomaa Jogged Ills Memory.
A rertaiil elderly pentleman suf-
fered much from absent mindedness.
and was frequently compelled to seek
the assistance of his servant "Thom-
as" he would constantly say "I have
just been looking for something and
now I can't remember what it is"
whereuKn the obliging Thomas in-
variably made suggestions. "Was it
your purse or spectacles or cheek
book sir?" And so on till he hit on
the riedit object. j
tine night after the old pentleman
had retired the bell ranp for Thom-
as and on reachinp the bedroom he
found his innstcf rambling restlessly
about his room.
"Thomtis. Thomas" lie said "I came
up here for Homethinp and now I've
forpotten what!"
"Was it to go to bed sir?" suggest-
cd his faithful retainer.
"Ahl the very thing the very
thing! Thank you Thomas. Good
night!" Pittsburgh Chronicle j

I remember some five years ngrt 1
was up the Nile away from hip
towns and had a lonp talk with va-
rious sheiks mid omdehs of rillapes.
1 was the only westerner present and
we all knew and trusted eatir other
in .1 way. I asked if tavrs were light-
er. -"Yes" va. the answer "Is wa-
ter fairly distributed?" "Yes." "Arc
the soldiers paid properly?" "Yes."
fan you pet justice ng.vnst a pasha?"
"Yes." "And who did all this?" I
finally n-ked expertinp to be told it
was the Ktiulish. There was silence:
they me never in a hurry. Then "an
old sheik answered: "Allah."- I-on-

Washington Nov. 2X. 'the an-
nual report of the United States
Indian inspector for Indian territory
calls attention to the fact that. the.
territory tin bra tin"; nearly 2u mil-
lion acres is owned hi common by
citizens of the various tribes coin-
prising Indians negroes ami Inter-
married whites. Ihese njjjtregate
81750 persons iucludin frecdmea.
Within the borders of the territory
also are some 3 j0000 whiten or ou
citizens who have no title to prop-
j .'l v i - - y . - - --
tu the government of the territory.
Until the lands are appraised and
allotted by tho commission to the
five civilized tribes land-tin town-
lies disponed of and tribal govern-
ments have become extinct certain
laws of Arkansas are extended over
Indian Territory. Federal laws ap-
ply in other instances and the sec-
retary of the interior is charged by
law with enforcement of rules and
regulations governing other matters.
Such a condition renders affairs so
complicated that ills not surprising
when courts and eminent lawyers
differ as to the prop;r conctruction
of the law and people are frequent
ly at a loss to determine what laws

In view of the combined refusal
of non-citizens within the CliicUa
saw and Choctaw nations to comply
with the tribal laws and of the. fact
thai the only remedy is to remov
ihein the report recommends that
Congress prescribe a penalty the

P'ty taxes due or that some other
luetnoil bo adopted to compel pay-
ment other than removal provided
these tribal tax laws arc to be in

The ivy which climbs the north wall
of the United ('onireg-at ional church
in Newport It. I. furnishes a rttreat
or thousand of sparrows. A cat had
lUHitiu iitc units nuu uu uuuui .;t;u-
reived the unreasonable idea that here
she mipdit possibly find a nest with a
toothsome yountr bird in it. So pussy
wiiere she had seen one of 'the birds
disappear aniid the thick leaves.
Streti'hinff out its paws where it sup-
posed a r.est would be a loud chattering
ensued and a myriad of sparrows dart- i
d out and attacked the cat with fury. '
It was indeed a vicious onslaught.
They peeked and chattered and flut-
tered nt a great rate and the cat wa
liewihlered. To free itself from the
assstilt the cat spit and foupht and
howled but It wss of no use. the bints
kept at it until their enemy fell to
the ground. This did not stop the com- '
hat of the birds. They kept peeking
away until they were tired. The cat
did not move und occasionally a spar-
row would drop to the ground a safe
distance from its enemy as if to see
if it was dead. Some little time after-
j ward
witness of this stransre strug
gle went to the spot and found that tlte
cat was dead. Its eyes had been lit-
erally dusr out and its head was a mass
of bleeding wounds.
