WAGNER MADE IT HOT
The Composer Trick When Mcncy
and Firovood Were Scarce
Here is an anecdote of Wagners
early life an related by Liszt Wag
ner Bulow and 1 were all quite young
when we lived together in Leipzig aud
had a good time that Is I enjoyed
myself but Wagner was already fer
menting with ills political and philo
sophical ideas and our prosaic cir
cumstances offered little ground for
the idealists of the future We called
Bulow Krltlkus and we especially I
always feared his sharp tongue a lit
tle Of course all of us had little mon
ey but Wagner put our slender purse
to great strains lie could not biar
money worries and we let him feel
them aa little as possible
Once after a lorfjg autumn it be
came cold suddenly and Wagner
with his nerves suffered from the
sudden change in the temperature
lie demanded a heated room at once
For two whole days the debate raged
between him and Bulow as to the im
mediate purchase of wood with our
reduced purse
I was not asked because Bulow
knew tknt I would yield but he as
treasurer contended that It was ridicu
lous to buy wood in the month of Sep
tember But I am freezing said
Wagner in a rage to wjiich the inex
orable Bulow suggested that he go out
and get warm by running or warm
himself by his muse Kaughing at his
cheap spiteful advice Bulow and I
went out but when we returned after
two hours we were thunderstruck to
find Wagner in the room heated to
suffocation lie sat at his writing ta
ble deep in his work His face was
red
Where began Bulow but the
words stuck in his throat for a glance
around the room showed him how
Wagner had helped himself Several
chairs and our work tables lay on the
floor permanently crippled Wagner
had cut off their legs and made the
fire with them Bulow was speechless
with rage but 1 stood at the dooi1 and
laughed till the tears came at this in
genious way of helping oneself Bulow
lamented that we would have to re
place the landladys chairs and tables
and that he could not sit down or
work
Wagner answered spitefully I
have what I needed Fellows like you
who do nothing but go walking need
neither chairs nor tables If you had
given me the money right off your
valuable furniture would still be in ex
istence You wished it so Firewood
would have been cheaper
THE MEASLES CANNIBAL
Method cf a Vancouver Island i ribs
to Drive Away Disease
A few years ago an epidemic of
measles broke out among the Indian
tribes living on Vancouver island in
British Columbia not far from Fort
Rupert and the shamans or medicine
men came to the conclusion that a can
nibal sorcerer whom ihey termed the
hamatsu measles cannibal was
slaying their children to eat them and
that he would continue to do so until
he wis killed
As they could not slay a ghost in his
own person they arranged a ceremony
in which one of their number posed as
the cannibal aud was treated as they
would have liked to treat the real foe
This fact of a substitute was of
course not made public only the med
icine men knowing the truth of the
matter
Against a wall of rock was painted
an imitation opening in the center of
which the cannibal was fastened
At the proper time after going
through various incantations a cover
ing was jerked away exposing the
cannibal apparently springing through
the solid rock He was promptly grasp
ed by two of the priests who dragged
him cut and rushed him throHgh a fire
which was burning in front of the
place and which was surrounded by
all the members of the tribe beating
drums and singing at the top of their
voices By soriie jugglery the canni
bal was got rid of and the people were
told that he had flown away through
the air and would not come back
After this ceremony had been re
peated several times to put an end to
other epidemics which were only too
prevalent among the Indians it grew
into a sort of annual affair managed
by the members of a secret society
wboc members know that the sup
posed iiamafcn was only a man

Always a pleasing and picturesque
feature It is proposed to mala the in
augural ball of TlOi something more
a great national function of supreme
interest and signilicance It will take
tin form of a reception by President
Taft and Vice President Sherman to
the country at large En h state in
the Union will be officially represented
on the floor by one of if distinguished
sons whose mi sion it will be to co
operate officially in the presentation of
the visitors from here there and ev
ery whre to the great men of the na
tion v ho will be in attendance
Gist Blair whose lallier Montgom
ery Blair was postmaster ce icral in
the cabinet of President Lincoln is
chairman of the committee in charire
of the inaugural ball and has so plan
ned the event as to bring the entire
Union through the fort3 six states into
direct and active participation in the
function
Washington is a national city a
city belonging to the country Chair
man Blair said in discussing the ball
arrangements It is our desire that
all who come to the inauguration and
there promises to be the biggest at
tendance in the histpry of these af
fairsshould feel that in coming to
the national capital they are coining to
their own city
The ball will be essentially and dis
tinctively national A representative
from each state has been designated
as a member of the inaugural ball
committee These gentlemen will
know many of the people who come
from their respective states and will
see that they are properly introduced
to the statesmen and their wives and
other distinguished visitors Thus it
is hoped to bring the forty six states
into close touch with the national cap
ital on this memorable occasion
