Jjst a plain hen, the kind that they have In the country for Sunday dinner and call a pullet. Bhe'a what I mean. Just a hen. And plain. T Kver ce a whole yard of them oiling up their feathere because Ha going to rain? Inspiring alght. Regular Instinct, like a cat falling on Ita feet. And all that sort of thing. Bometlmea one hen won't oil up. Ooca right on scratching gravel. Tou feel al most like running over and telling' her to . 1. . n 1 . . . . nenuM ooi nen. 100 nuniry o bother. Then tt beglna to rain. Rain conies down all wet and sloashy. First Hi a sprinkle. Then a shower. Storm coming. Hena all oiled up. All but the one. She's still scratching gravel. Nary oil on her. No Instinct. Fool htn. By the way, where la ho? Isn't out getting rained on. Isn't over near the fence in the tall grass. Isn't running around squawking? No. Ouess again. No? Give It up? Gone Inside the barn where It Is dry. What do you thing of that? Wonderful. Plain htn, too. No Idea hens were so smart. $ Look at her again. Or let's take another hen and see. No, let's take a cow.' Regular cow. No funny business. Short hair. Long tall. Fat underneath and skinny on top. Cow with a wet nose. Mouth full of chewing gum. You knuw. The kind the artists Dover paint. Regular plain cow. Fllea all over everywhere. And bugs. Gee wlila Got In your eyes. No good at all. Bother cow nearly to death. Whole bunch stand out In pasture and let flics nearly eat 'em up. Whisk tails, stamp feet and ahake heads. Not the r.'gulur cow, though. She's no artist's picture. Got skinny back and no color to speak of. No funny business. She wades out Into tho brook. Feet all wet. Muddy too. Don't care; She uln't the aort that stands In a purple shadow and composes with two trees and a hay stack. No. Sticks her head Into the bush over the brook. Nothing to eat in that bush. Cow ought to know thut. She docs. 80 do tho ft tea. Therefore the cow gets a little peace. Amusing! Not all instinct: Even the kind of cows they paint huvo that. No. This la an Idea. Cow Idea. Mu.l. I! 1. r aelf. Hall, cow! Sea what I ini-un? Take a dog. No, evcrybwdy tal;c3 him. Take a cat, or a duck, or a turtle Well, say a canary bird. Born up In tho Hara mountains where the fairy tales come from. Ivains to sing be fore It learns to fly. Rings wonderful trilis, and ripples and octavos and chords. Sings, chirrups and wigglu waggles, and outbursts. Slngn arpeggios. Bird doesn t know what an arpeggio is. Neither do J. Bird sings 'em Just the samo. Bingo other things. Sings when you want tt to shut up. Sings when you don't want It to shut up. Regular sort of a canary bird. Shipped to New York. Nothing there to Ing for. But that makes no difference. Keeps right on. Understand? It's Instinct. Fills somebody's back parlor with noiso and rape seed. Pretty little thing. Some people like 'em. Catch tho Idea? This particular bird, though. He's funny. Hardly sings at all. Too much to eat? Starve him. Not enough to eat? Stuff him. Bum singer. Wo like songs, too. Llko that Notes of the IEGFR1BD WAGNER Is to be the only conductor for the next Wagner festival at Bayrcuth, and thus tho control of Mmo. Coslniu will be more complete. It was known that Hans Klc li ter would never return after the incidents which marked the close of the last festi val, and now Motll, Welngartner and Nikisch are to give place to the young Siegfried. Mine. Wagner's health is fulling rapidly and there Is little probability that she will witness another festival. The first performance will be given on July 22 and tbo last on August IV. There will be two series of tho "Nlbelungen Ring,'' seven per formances of "Parsifal" and five of "Lo hengrin." Among tho' artists to appear will be Charles Dalmores, to sing Lohen grin. Geraldtne Farrar sung her last perform ance of "Mine, Butterfly" at a special per formance given In honor of the kaiser. Critical opinion In Berlin was not kind to the performance of the American prima donna in the Puccini opera, and" regret was generally expressed that Emmy Destinn, who created the role in London and has always sung It there, should not have been Intrusted with the part in her own opera house. She is to appear In It now that Mlsa Farrar has returned to this country. Bo chagrined was Mine. Destinn by the se lection of Miss Farrar that the Bohemian soprano notified the lntendent of thu Ber lin opera that she would plead Illness every time she was announced unless she were allowed to break hoc contract, She was persuaded, however, to take a month's rest to quiet her nerves and she compromised on that plan. She returned to the opera the other day and sang Aids, which Is re garded aa on of her finest roles.

Why don't people elect men to office who are honest? If the men they do elect are dishonest why don't they throw 'em out? That's the beginning. Don't answer her. You can't. But don't try. Listen. Why don't the city make tho street rail roads run more cars? Iook wise. But don't answer. If they need more tunnels why don't they build them Instead of talking about It? If they know that anarchists are danger ous why do they let them roam all over the place? Let her alone. 1 She was downtown shopping Ihls morn ing. Only had ten minutes, but Good. Here's a chance to get away from tho questions. ABk her what sh bought. What did she? Well, the store was crowded so she couldn't get neur all the' counters. But she go' some new shoes for Johnny, a spool of No 67i twist, a quarter of a yard of blenchec muslin, a paper of tacks nnd a base ball. Good. It was a busy morning. Oh, that was before she went out anc" met m-hoever she met and went across thi street to the othor place where she bought a bottle of plckle3, a dotted veil, a paper oT lialrplns, two yards of striped flannel, a new screwdriver, and a corkscrew (paten thing she wondered why they didn't sell before), a bottle of Florida water, a packagi of nail files, mittens for Sallle and a plect of dotted jiwIfs to mend tho curtains. Well! Well! You wero busy! Oh, that was before she went down the street to the other placo where they were huving a salo and bought a pair of crochet ing needle, two saucers to replace those Johnny Smashed, some hair ribbon for Sullle, a piece of wax, a flatlron holder and a lottlo of ammonia, Stop her right there. Oh, that was before she went over to the other corner and bought Don't llnten, that's all. Willful waste of money. A day gadding all over town. .Time frittered away. No sense In It. Kxtravagant! Oh, as to that, she only spent 86 cents and she had to be home to get the chil dren's dinner. See what I mean? It's different. No comparison. Opera Abroad le the Ideal representative of the part Miss Farrur had the seore soon after th opera waa finished, but told the composer at that time that It entailed too much strain on the voice. Strauss' next opera. "Kleetra," will probably be sung In Febru ary at the Royal 6pera house in Dresden. The work la almost finished. It will be sung next in Vienna, but as Strauss Is still barred by the Imperial opera house In Vienna, his next work will be given at the People's opera. Strauss declared lately In an Interview that the score would create even a greater excitement than "Saleme. New operas to be given In Berlin during the winter Include: Bniftanu's "Dallbor," which has been re vived' especially for Emmy Destinn; Mas senet's "Therese," "Iphigenla In Aulls" and "Iphigenla iu Taurls" as arranged by Rich ard Strauns, and "Donna Diana," by Rezc Inek. Frlda Uempel, the new colorature soprano, had the advantage of especially elaborate revivals of 'The Huguenots" and "Luclp." At tho Opera Comlque In Berlin there are to be productions of Mascagni's "Iris," ( harpentle's "Louise," Leoncavallo's "Zazu" and r.ublnstein's "The Demon." In spite, of tho unfavorable attitude of Berlin opinion toward all foreign works no Ger man novelties are to be sung In Berlin. "Thu Merry Widow," which brought a new existence to Viennese operetta, has Just been succeeded by another work which seems likely to have Just as lorig a career. This Is "The Dollar Princess," which deuls with the story of two American girls who many titled foreigners. It Is as great a success as "Tho Merry Widow," whteh it followed at the Theater an der Wlen. lehar's second opera, on the other hand, hss met with no success.

The former tenor earns for ten months of every year the unprecedented sum of J-50 every day. This meuns rive hours every day at tf an hour, this amount bsltig paid by a class of four yuplls. His studio swarms with pupils eager to pay this sum and the tenor Is earning another fortune. But there are, alas, no results In spite of the fact thut he bcau to teach five years ago. Paris id full of stories of dtsupiotnted pupils. Jean de Rrszke's appointment as an adviser to the new opera managers was secured with the object of rehabilitating him as a teacher among serious students. Guardabassl's success will mean a great deal to Jean d Resske.
