HAD THE CROC: Essayed to Del:vcr tV an Who Had Mislaid c bu Nover Again I A woman entered a grocstor at Madison and explained to the proprietor that she wished to communicate over the telephone wTth her husband, who was in a neighboring town. She added tbat’she had left [her false teeth at a dentist's office and that she feared she would not be able to talk plainly enough to mak her husband hear. Would the grocer speak for her? Why, certainly 1 The call was put in, the connection obtained, and the grocer inquired: “Now. Mrs. So-and-So, what do you wish me to say?” “Ash him how Olie ish?” “Mr. So-and-So. your wife wishes to know how old you are.” “Fifty-nine next March, but why does she wish to know?” The grocer repeated the answer to Mrs. So-and-So. She finally explained that she knew her husbend’s age, but that she desired to know the condition of Olie Johnson, a friend, who was sick in the neighboring town. Further conversation with the husband developed that Olie was much better. The grocer now advises all persons who wish to telephone and who are minus their teeth to go to the city exchange.—’lndianapolis News. EVER NOTICE IT?

THE OLD SONGS AND THE NEW. Stephen Foster and Ragtime Music— Read Ad in Dally Democrat. The modern ragtime music -so-call-ed, may bo considered but a (temporary aberration. A few years ago the popular airs were taken from tlio light epmle operas, or from the sketchy music of the vaudeville artist. These have given way to variations on the pi.-.lntive negro airs of the old south and will In turn lead to something else that happens to catch the popular fancy. Rut the simple songs of our fathers —tlie beautiful music and the heartstirring words will again come into their own. And when they do the great American balladist, Stephen Foster, will be recognized as one, perhaps more than any other, caught the' spirit of his time, and rendered it into music and words that were sung by millions of his country men and women. Foster was born in Pittsburg. Pennsylvania, July 4, 1826, and received his education in the public schools. When only sixteen years of ago. he wrote his first song, while clerking in a little store in Cincinnati. It was called ‘‘Open the Lattice, Love,” and was soon followed by “Uncle Ned” — which at once caught the popular ear. I and was sung all over the country. | Then came “O, Susanna” —popular with the minstrel troupes —and for which he received a Ijundred dollars. His “Old Folks at Home” was published in 1850 —and brought him five hundred dollars from the then fam- [ ous Christy minstrels. For copyrights of this song he recieved, first and last, nearly $15,000. Among his most popular productions were "Old Black Joe,” “Old Kentucky Home,” “Old Folks at Home," and “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.” These touching and beautiful compositions are all to be found in “Heart Songs”—that wonderful song collection now being offered by this paper for fixe coupons and the cost of distribution. We believe this to be one of the most remarkable presentations ever offered to our readers—and it has our hearty endorsement back of it: A reference to the coupon printed in this issue will give information as to the terms upon which it may be had. LOHENGRIN. Something About Famous Opera— The Bridal Chorus Translation.

The “Heart Song" illustrated in today's issue of the Democrat is the famous Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin. To untold thousands of people this wedding march recalls the most joyous moment of their lives. In sentience of writing this great opera is the seventh of Wagner’s productions for the stage. The poem was written at Dresden in 1845; the music begun in September, 184 G; the instrumentation of the entire work was completed during the dnsuing winter and spring; and the first performance took place August 28, 1850, at Weimar. The opera has always been espec-l ially popular in the United States and ; England, not only on account of the i wondrous beauty of the music—but because the legend itself has bun embodied in English literature. The Lohengrin Bridal Chorus, or wedding inarch, is only one of several celebrated compositions of this; kind that appear in the book —and it; in this completeness and accuracy that make it universally interesting and absolutely a work that no home should do without. “Heart Songs" is one of the great books of the century. It will charm, entertain and instruct every member of the family. It has 500 large pages, including over four hundred selections, words and music, and is now being distributed by this paper to its friends and readers on presentation of live consecutively dated coupons clip- , ped from the paper, and the bare cost of distribution. Books are on display at this office and the choice is optional, as set forth elsewhere in his issue. L. F. MAI LAND Is the nifty dresser’s friends.
