LEARNED TO PLAY
THE FIANO DY MAIL.
Girl Performs In Coim Opinions Dif
fer as to Her Skill.
After her fnthrr. Augustus Pods, had
testified that lii- had obtained all her
musical education by correspondence
through tho United States School of
Music, Adeln Dods, a fourteen-year-old
girl, played two pieces on a piano be
fore Justice Brady and a Jury ba tho
New York supremo court. The deco
rum of the court, was disturbed by the
applause which greeted her efforts, lor
the room wac tilled, aud Interested au
ditors crowded the corridors outside.
Miss Dods and her father were wit
nesses in the school's $50,000 libel suit
against Collier's Weekly, based on an
editorial calling the scheme of teach
ing music by mail "a triple plated
swindle." Although Miss Dods' pluy
lng won the approval of the court
room auditors, It did not satisfy the
professional music teachers who were
present to testify for Collier's. They
criticised her work as inartistic. One
of them also criticised the playing of
Melvin Vreeland, a New Jersey farm
er's boy, who learned to play a violin
by correspondence. He declared that
the lad's playing was such that no
regular teacher would undertake to in
struct him.
The girl played Smith's "Marche des
Tambours" and a sonata by Mozart.
She said she had never played for
so many persons before, but was not
visibly embarrassed. James W. Os
borne, counsel for Collier's, asked her
If she bad not studied singing In the
public schools before she took lessons
from the correspondence school of mu
sic. She said that she had, but de
nied that sho had ever played a piano
before her father spent $10 to buy her
a course of instruction In the school.
J. K. Blckford, who prepared the
violin lessons for the school, was one
of the witnesses.
"You are a professor?" he was asked.
"No. a teacher," he replied, with a
smile. He said he had taught violin
playing for seventeen years, ne said
that the school did not claim to make
finished artists on the violin, but only
to help pupils to play with a reasona
ble degree of proficiency.
LIVES WITH NECK BROKEN.
Brooklyn Man Was Terribly Injured on
Ship Forty-eight Years Ago.
Having lived forty-eight years with
a broken neck, Edmund Malone, sixty
seven years old, of Brooklyn claims a
record. He says he owes his life to
the fact that there was no surgical
aid near when he sustained his terri
ble Injury.
For two years after the accident the
upper part of his body was paralyzed,
but after recovering from that he en
joyed fine health and has worked hard
every day up to a few months ago.
At tho age of fifteen Maloue ran
away to sea from his home in Ireland.
In physique he was almost a man
then and four years later was aboard
a sailing vessel as an able seaman.
During a storm he was pitched from a
high mast, landing on the deck on his
head.
There was no doctor on board, so
the boy st'iyed in his bunk until the
ship reached New York live weeks
later. Every bone In his neck was
crushed, but by tho time he reached
New York they had started to grow
together. Ho went to a seamen's re
treat, but for some strange reason his
case received little attention. His
arms were paralyzed, bnt ho regained
the use of them after two years. Then
Maloue started to look for a job.
The broken neck gives him no dis
comfort, except that It is stiff, and he
can't turn his head without moving
his body. There is a large lump on
tho back of his neck v7here the bones
have been thrown out of place.
Several days ago Mnlbne went to an
eye and ear dispensary. A doctor ac
cidentally twisted his head while
treating a soro ear, and Malone ex
claimed, "Look out for that neck; It's
broken!"
The doctors gathered around and
proclaimed It the worst fracture of
the neck they had ever seen.
PLEADS FOR THE RICH.
College President Deplores Attacks on
Successful Business Men.
In his baccalaureate sermon Presi
dent Flavel S. Luther of Trinity col
lege, Hartford, Conn., condemned the
indlscriminato attack unon men who
are adversely criticised because of
their business transactions.
"Wo read and hear much," said he,
"of evil, grasping selfishness In tho
business world. Men aro held up by
namo to tho scorn and derision of the
reading and listening world. Their
methods of business are denounced in
many quarters as of devilish origin
and of fatal effect.
"There Is something In all this, but
the carious thing is that these men,
whose names, I suppose, occur to you
as I am speaking, when you come to
meet them, are honest; straight, up
right, loving fathers, faithful hus
bands, Christian gentlemen, charitable,
lovers of men and lovers of God.
"There is something pitiful in the
genuine surprise with which in the
last few years Christian gentlemen of
the sort whom I have described dis
covered that tho things which they
have boon doing are regarded by the
world as evil.
"I do not bellevo that these men are
sluners abovo other men. They are
the victims of the Imperfect standards
which have been placed in their
hands."
SHE
A WIDOW'S
OLD HORSE
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1911, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
One day the Widow Saunderson
was In town, aud she found a horse
auction going on. Tho last of the
bunch to be put up was an old gray
mare. She was skin and bone and
then some more. The auctioneer did
not slander her character when h
called her on old skate.
There was a general lauj:ti of con
tempt over the old mare, ana then
some ono bid $2. Out of purV nyni
pathy the widow bid o dollui more,
and tho nag was hers. Shp 'n c.ivpd
by the crowd, bnt the prize whs uueu
ed behind the wagon and reached tho
farm In due time without having once
fallen by the wayside. There were
two hired men to grin and chuckle and
talk about crow banquets, but the wo
man silenced them with:
"Get along, yoa idiots 1 Turn that
horse ont to gross and take good care
of her. If she dies her hide will bo
worth all I paid for her whole body."
This was early In the spring. When
the old mare began to fill up she began
to Improve In a month her ribs could
no longer be counted from the high
way, and she began to gambol a bit It
was when another horse was turned
into the lot with her of a Sunday that
the surprise came. One of the men
cams up to tho house and said to Mrs.
Baunderson:
"Say, you come down to the fence
and see that old mare!"
"Dead, is she?"
"Dead! Why, she's the liveliest old
nag you ever set eyes on! Come
down I"
Tho two horses were having a play.
It was a ten acre meadow, and they
were circling it Tho farm horse was
on tho gallop and the old mare on
the trot and yet be could not leave
her behind.
"She got that gait before a snlky for
sure," said the man.
"Looks like it to me," replied the
widow. "After this you feed her a
few oats every day and use the curry
comb, and don't either one of you boys
say n word outside."
The Akron county fair, always held
late in September, ranked next to the
state fair. Some said tho horse racing
was even better, because the track
was better. When the opening of the
entries wa3 announced the Widow
Saunderson said to one of her men:
"Joe, here's the money to enter Lady
Gray. You can claim to be the owner,
i'ou go over to Johnsonville and bor
row or buy a sulky and get it here on
the sly. The old mare Is going into
the free for all, and you aro going to
drive her."
And a few days later she said to the
other man:
"Tim, here Is a hundred dollars.
You go to town and loaf around tor
two or three days. Bet the money on
our horse. Get the best odds you can."
When day and date came they hoot
ed tho widow's hired man and his
equine. They had bet 6 to 1 before,
now they bet 15 to 1. Tho widow nad
$400 in the bank. She drew every
dollar of it out, and Tim placed tt on
the mare.
That was a race that Is talked or
yet A green driver, an old sulky and
a farm horse. As soon as the mare
got on to the track her actions betray
ed tho fact that it was a familiar
scene to ber, and her driver had the
sense to let her take ber own way in
stead of hauling ber about When the
bunch got away at last be simply held
his horse steady and prayed with all
his might Sho had "gone some" on
the highway, but sho seemed to be Hy
ing now. She picked up horse after
horso until she had the lead, and she
came In winner by such a distance
that the other horses were booted off
tho track. Not a skip, not a break
just a fast and steady pace, and a
driver who was so scared that be bad
to be helped down from his seat
The roll of money gathered In by the
Widow Saunderson on ber wagers and
by the sale of the mare after the race
was exactly the size of a fifteen cent
tomato can. With tho bundle In a pil
lowslip she called on the minister of
ber church a few days later and said:
"Parson, 1 know you have figured
things up. How much to paint tho
meeting house?"
"A hundred and fifty dollars," he re
plied. "And how much for pew cushions?"
"A hundred."
"And for tho red carpets In the
aisles?"
"Fifty will do it"
"And can't we get an organ for
$500?"
"We certainly can."
"And a bell?"
"Two hundred."
"And how much salary Is due you?"
"Well-ahem-welL 1 don't like to
cay so, but the sum is about $200."
"Figure it up and count it out par
son," eald the widow as sho handed
over the "tomato can."
"But widow, 1 don't understand."
"Won It at tho county fair the other
day."
"Then I can't take it It Is tainted
money,"
"Parson, don't bo an idiot! Tho men
who paint the meeting bouse will
swear. The men who cast tho bell
will swear. There'll be swearing over
the cushions and carpets and organ.
There'll be tainted money Just as much
as this money. You want to swear
over your back salary, and, by gum.
Ill do some swearing If you dont tako
the money! There, now!"
And the parson took It
European Hotels.
Most American travelers on their
first trips on the continent of Europe
aro astounded when upon tho day of
their departure from a hotel they aro
presented with their bill by the head
waiter Instead of by tho landlord or
by his chief clerk. But it Is the cus
tom, nnd this important individual is
thus nssured of his tip. But they fret
and fume Inwardly ns they think of
ull the other servants to be tipped
nnd usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There nre two ways of avoiding this
worry If they only knew. In small ho
tels and pensions where an average of
$2 or 10 francs a day Is paid for pen
sion It is proper to nllow 1 franc a
day for each person for nervlce and
when going away divide It according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels a more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent of the hotel
bill, whatever It is, add It to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide It among tho
servants. Thus is the tipping ques
tion very much simplified. New York
Tribune.
Sweet Mother Love.
A man awoke one night with a
toothache.
He groaned, he turned nnd twisted,
ho howled, ho Bat up and lny down
again. He arranged his pillow nnd
pressed it ngaiust his face, with an
other groan.
His wife slept on and never moved.
He wanted attention, he wanted sym
pathy, and ho groaned again.
Still she slept
Injury added to the pain; it wasn't
treating a fellow right to sleep like
that when he was suffering with a
painful tooth, and he called her name.
Still she slept.
Ho had groaned three times as loud
as he could, und she didn't awake.
Then the baby, in its crib In another
room, sighed softly In its sleep.
The woman was on her feet nnd
standing beside its crib, anxious eyed,
in an instant.
"And I nctually thought," said the
man, "that she loved me most" St.

George Sand's rehearsals. He was ex

I ever saw that man I turned pale nnd
felt as though my heart stopped beat

resembling him it seemed to me that
he made him seem less far away nnd
brought him nearer to every one.
Mme. Sand Introduced him to me In
spite of my wishes. He looked at me
In an Impertinent way. He displeased
me. I scarcely replied to his compli

"Why, she Is In love with you!" ho
exclaimed, laughing. George Sand
stroked my cheek gently. "She Is my
