ATBIl I left Moss, tho mono -lender, yes
Cx terday, I went to see Jim llnrry. ns the
girl suggested He's a big, fat. Jolly-looking
Irishman. After 1 told him my story ho
snld:
"So that scoundrel Moss has jou In his
clutches. How much do ou owe him?"
"Tnenty-threo dollars and seventy-five
cents"
"Poof! A voting fellow 1iki Jou being
bothered for tint bit Here,' said he, writ
ing out n check for this nntnunt, "give him
tills check. They'll accept that Instead of
cash all right. Now- -sign thl," nnd he
passed mo over n promissory nolo for J30
"I don't need this much '' s ild 1 ; then,
looking nt tho check, which whs for J23 75
only, I ndded, "What's this mean? '
"Look nt vour nolo joung fellow "
I sow that while tho notu w.ih for Jlft
he had given mo credit for having paid IB
on It so that thero remained only :s It
contained, however, a clause (the samo ns
In Moss'a note), to tho n-eet that If I got
behind lu my paimcnt the whole amount
beenmo due with one full Jir's Interest.
"What's the rato of Intef st""
Ten per cent."
Well, I took the cheek down nnd paid
n.inlel Moss and felt much relieved "I
dnn't think Jim Harry is one or thoso regu
lar money shnrks I think he'll give me n
sqilaro deal," I said to mWf Then I put
my hand In my pocket and there founel n
(opy of tho note given to Ham I took It
out and to inv surprise, noticed that the
10 per cent was 10 per rent u month or
K0 per cent a ear' "Well," I mused "I
guess that won't worn- mi for I'll never
get behind In u pavim-nt again I will go
wnnoui my meats nrst
I had to look for new rooms todiy, for
tho landlady told mo last night. In a volro
like an Icicle, that sho was sure I would bo
plcaid tn locate somewhere tle
"I'm nulte PHtlsllcd," 1 told her
"But. I'm not," sho snnppul back at me
"I can't afford to have a .vonng nian who In
dunned on in doorstep giving the pl.uo a
bad name "
But. I have p ild him." I lemonstiated
"It rant happen again "
You'm right indeed It won't happen aciiln
here You must leave tomorrow "
Well, 1 got niw quurtus. but had to p.iv a
week's rent In inhume, whhli means tliat
my little stock of moniv Is almost depletid
1 rt member I.id used to sav. "You'll mver
know tlm valid- of a dollar until vim have
learned what Jim can do with a dime"
Believe me, I found out that coffee and
sinkers may not bo nourishing, but tluy'in
lllllng and tluv cost u dime'
I've bad no luck In Kilting a Job vet I
thought 1 had a nance lu a dry goods Jnii.

1 bad n talk with tlm employment man

Then bo asked me to bring him a book at
tho other ind ot tho room There was u
pal eel Ivlng on the lloor and I brushed It
out of the way with inv foot as I wont by
When I came back with tho book, ho said,
"I'm sorry, but I can't use jou "
"Whv not' ' 1 nkid, surprised
"A voting man who Kicks our goods around

is t mpioved "
1 was puzzltd for a minute
"I alwavs leave that panel time If an

Yes, thero aro somo peopln viho havo no

(CO.N'TINUIJH MONDAY)
CASALS'S WONDROUS ART
Superb Spanish Cellist the Star of Phila
delphia urencstras Acaacmy ionccri
Tablo Casals's mastery of the cello Is so
completo that ho Is nmong the least sensa
tional of great virtuosi. His art Is so au
thoritative that the listener becomes almost
oblivious to the personal equation. It Is
almost ns though the cello alone, untouched
by human hands, were pouring forth Its
wnrm, tender, soul-touching majestic tones,
Appreciation of a personality thuswon
drously coalesced with a musical instrument
comes as nn afterthought. Such was plainly
tho mental process of jesterday afternoon's
auditors at tho Philadelphia Orchestra's con
cert In tho Academy who applauded Kenor
Casals with somewhat conventional cordiality
and then suddenly awoke to tho magnitude
of his achievement. A .torront nf plaudits
rang through the auditorium. The nrtlst
bowed In his curiously detached manner.
Hla magnetism seems only lmpattcd through
the marvelous voice of his cello.
The Catalan virtuoso has In the past sub
mitted works here providing him with richer
opportunities than the novelty given jester
day. Georges Dorlay, a Frenchman, now
living In London, Is the composer of this
concerto, which is melodic, colorful and
cleverly scored, but perhaps moro Interest
ing In Its passages for tho orchestra than
for tho talo Instrument. Tho cello writing
bristles with dltllculllfs which Senor Casals
conquered with his characteristic unspectacu
lar ease. Tho movements aro all run to
gether and tho mood of the entire work sug
gests that of a long scherzo.
Mr, Minkowski's Interpretative faculties
were most effectively displayed In the pro
gram's opening number, the fascinating
"Scheherazado" suit ot Itlmsky-Kosakow,
reflecting with appropriate necromancy and
compelling charm the romance and color of
"The Arabian Nights." The composer's
melodlo Inspiration Is unflagging, his sense
of the descriptive so subtle that tno work la
. one of the most "atmospheric" of modern
concert numbers. Its appeal la unstated by
the familiarity pf Its themes, which were
generously .employed In the performances of
the itusslan ballet, ,. . .,
