' V STORY RITEN' By the Messenger Boy , * - Another stone was laid on the new Dost office exlcrishun last week, so probably It will .be ready to buy stamps in when the Vtiropeen War is done, which is to take three years, ac cordin to I-ord Kitchenette, the Hrit isher general of the army in England. 1..1ke all building built by the gov ernment, the new post office is slow but sure, and when finished it will last for ever. All things by the gov ernment is done right, which would be better if private people did the same. Lots of places that is built is all tum ble down in twenty years and aint worth the taxes. Harrisburg is proud of the govern ment buildings it has and wishes it had more of em. The $13,000,000.- 000.00 building in the little woods on Cap Hill is a fine building, and is the biggest thing in a bird's-eye look over the city: and we hope it will be ex tended ns the popula.shun of Pennsil vanv gets bigger in years to come. We also hope they will make more works of art with It, such as the nakid statues on the front porch of the Capitol. How nice it would be to have lots of those marhll riggers scattered about through the trees, ehasin each other around the pfcrk. When they get the new addishun to the park in the old 8 ward there wilt be lots of room to have more. I think they should interduce a e urse In statue makin at the Teck High School and hire a perfesser to teach It to the boys, and they could work on plaster images to fill up the park with: which would be a cheap way for the governor and the tax col lector to pay for em. The ones that Mr. Karnard made over in Paris cost too much, and they could he made just as well at the Teck school. ' 4Doctor principal at the school, has beerrto Turop sevril times, and knows what is good statues and which is not, and he could tell the and the special teacher about em. k ..

As a singer he is the reincarnation of the repressed music of a great race. His . rise to fame has been one of the most remarkable in musical history. Only a few months ago 2®?V! od _ tho thirty year mark. He was born in Athlone. Ireland, in 1884. In 1907 he made his I debut in Grand Opera at Covent Garden, London and has been engaged there each season since. He has appeared at the Manhattan and Metropolitan Opera Houses in New York. Labcala Milan. Opsra Comique. Paris, has been a member of the Philadelphia. Chicago and Boston Opera Companies., and at the present time is considering a very flattering offer to sing j at Buenos Avres. He has made two trips around the world; is recognized as ono of the foremost j operatic tenors of the age, and enjoys the destinction of being known as "the favorite concert singer of three continents.** At the present time, when managers of amusement enterprises generally are complaining of hard times, Mr. McCormack is drawing the biggest houses in the .istory of concert giving in America. His first concert last spring at the N. Y. Hippodrome in many respects as the most remarkable "one-man attraction " the country has er known. The receipts were $8,500, and the entire house, including the stage, was sold out rtve days prior to the date of the concert. His extraordinary record of having given twenty concerts in the city of Sydney, Australia,, fn two months, has never been equalled in any part of H ,e f . w Q r,d - yie announcement that lie had recently purchased the famous " 1 (ealy-Klrad *• violin for 110,500. brings to light a facrnot generally known, outside a circle of intimate friends. vi 7, : that in addition to boing a great singer he is also an accomplished violinist and pianist. Being an Irishman racy of the soil" he is interested in almost every branch of manly Kport. He is well above the average as a tennis player, a crack nfle shot, a splendid hand-ball ? a rabid base-ball fan. He has never been on speaking terms with what is called "au artistic temperament.'' He wears the same size hat today as when he left the humble College bummer Hill m Sligo, and remains a modest, unspoiled, regular human being. POLAR EXPLORER IS I COMING HERE FEB.
