SUPPER PAID FOR ITSELF
Clever Trick by Which Liszt and Ru-
blnl Packed House for Their
Second Concert.
An article in an Italian review con-
tains an interesting story of Lisst,
the composer, and Rubinl, the tenor.
Touring together, they visited a town
where a great financial success was
expected. But they were disappointed,
for when they entered the halt they
found only fifty persons present.
Rubini was furious, and said he
would not sing; but Lisst calmed
! him.
"You must sing," he said; "this
small audience Is evidently composed
I of musical connoisseurs of the town,
;o we should treat them with respect."
Liszt set the example with a grand
overture, and Rubini sang to perfec-
tion. Lisxt gave another piece, and
then addressed the audience.
"Ladles and gentlemen." he said, "I
think that you have had enough music.
Allow me to ask you to take a little
supper with us."
The Invitation was accepted, and
Liszt and Rubinl entertained the au-
dience to supper at their hotel, at a
cost of twelve hundred francs. When
the guests separated the ho9ts thoight
the affair had been a joke about which
nothing more would be heard, but
they decided to give their concert as
advertised on the following night. To
their astonishment the hall was pack-
ed; there was no standing room. The
whole town had fUrned out on the
chance of an invitation to supper.

Taking No Risks.
"Yes," said the suburbanite, "I am
fond of mushrooms aud we often have
them on our table."
"But," asked the city man, "don't
you incur some risk of eating a toad-
stool now and then?"
"Not if the person who picks them
understands his business. Invariably
I exercise the utmost care. So does
a ccrtaln neighbor of mine. We are
not on very good terms with him.
Imagine my surprise the other even-
ing when his small daughter brought
over a mess of mushrooms, saying her
papa wanted us to try them for sup-
per. Well, they were all right. We j
ate them and they were enjoyed. La-
ter I met an acquaintance of my kind
neighbor.
" 'Did you eat those mushrooms?'
he asked.
" 'Sure,' said I.
"'No bad effects?*
" 'None whatever. Why do you
ask?'
•Well. Mr. Blank was in doubt
about them, so he decided to take no
chances. That's why he tried them
on you first.""
For some time experts have recog-
nized that the BO-called arid country
in the Rocky mountain region must
some day be made to yield a vast
amount of agricultural^ products, but
they also have realized that this
could not be accomplished except by
irrigation.
The soil in that section Is rich and
the water supply Is said to be ample
once It Is properly stored so as to
assure the farmer of a continual sup-
ply during the growing season. This
ta being accomplished gradually.
Colorado excels all other states in
the amount of land under Irrigation.
The census of 1910 showed that 4,000,-
000 acres were under ditch, and it
was reported that with the comple-
tion of Irrigation projects under way
and In contemplation, the acreage
would be Increased to 6,000,000 acres.
ThJa Is approximately one-fourth of
the arable area of the state.
In the past the mistake was made
often of over-estimating the capacity
of an Irrigation project. Time and
experience has taught the builders to
avoid this error and the aim Is to put
just enough land under ditch that can
be adequately watered during the en-
tire irrigating season. This policy Ib
restoring confidence in irrigation and
will eventually cause the state to be
completely settled with prosperous
farmers.
Colorado's annual agricultural out-
put Is now something more than
$100,000,000. This Includes fruit rais-
ing, which, in normal years, aggre-
gates about $7,000,000.
Reliable data shows that the yield
of an Irrigated farm In Colorado Is
more than twice the yield of land In
a tain-belt country. It is estimated
that the net returns from a well cul-
tivated Irrigated farm Is at least 25
per cent on the valuation of the farm.
It is not unusual for a Colorado fivm
to pay for itself in two or three
years where the farmer couples In-
telligence and frugality together. Ap-
proximately $60,000,000 has been ex
pended in the construction of lrrlga
tion projects In Colorado. The total
value of Colorado farm lands 1b placed
at $360,000,000.

STATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE PLAYGROONDS
"A Perfect Saw."
"To say nothing and saw wood"
seems to be one of the most sagacious
phrases passed down by our hard-
working forebears. Like most sayings
which have emanated from manual
labor, this is blunt, homely, and, to
the loquaciously Inclined, painfully
accurate. Show me a man bent Jack-
knife fashion over a sawhorse, with
a short log under his buck, and I will
point out a man who is minding his
own business with admirable zeal. If
he speaks, he ceases to saw. While
he saws he is necessarily mute. Hence
this shrewd phrase, which is, punning
fcside, a perfect saw.—Atlantic Month-

•;ter R. Taft Gained Wide Pron*
inence in His County by Hie Dis-
charge of Duties of Surveyor.
Among the early settlers of Town#-
hend, Vermont, was a family by the
name of Taft. They came from Ux-
bridge, Mass., in the winter of 1798.
Their household goods, writes Hamil-
ton Cnild in tne "History of Windham
County, Vermont," were loaded upon
a sled drawn by exen.
Peter R. Taft, fourteen years of age,
accompanied the family. He came all
the way on foot, and drove the cow.
In the winter, like other farmers"
boys, he did chores, helped prepare
wood for the fire at home, and went
to the district school. During the
other months he helped his father on
the farm. His education, however,
was under the oversight of his father,
who was a college graduate.
Fondness for mathematics resulted
In his becoming a land surveyor, and
In a few years he received the ap-
pointment of county surveyor. The
accuracy of his work In establishing
disputed lines brought him into pub-
lic notice, and by the time he was of
age he was well known in every part
of the county.
The duties of his office made neces-
sary a long attendance on his part at
the terms of the county court. On
Buch occasions he was a willing as
well as an attentive listener, and so
gained a knowledge of many legal
principles, which led to his receiving
the appointment of trial justice.
From his first experience the pub-
lic had groat confidence In his fair-
ness; and la his capacity as a magis-
trate, his decisions we'a received
with approval. He devoted his spaia
moments to reading, and became a
man of wide knowUdge, whose fore-
sight and executive talents were ap-
preciated by those who came in con-
tact with him. Ills grandson now
lives in Washington.—Youth's Con*
panion.
