CARUSO'S FIRST SINGING LESSOf
Priests and Soldiers Befriend the Pee
Young Italian.
Paris , June 20 Caruso has beei
telling friends the almost unknowi
story of how he obtained his llrs
singing lessons. In picturesque Na
pics , the city of ills birth , at the ag <
of 18 , Knrlco Caruso earned abou
$1.00 a day at pattern designing. Hi
had a nice voice , and conllded to hli
father his ambition to become a grea
singer. The old man , however , wouli
not hear to this ; but the young mai
persisted In his desire to develop hi
talent , and so the father opened thi
door ono day and requested him ti
"clear out , " telling his son to mak <
} iis living as he pleased , and also t <
take another name if he dlshonorei
Ills own.
Enrico called on a priest. To hit ]
ho sang the "O Salutarls. " The pries
was charmed afc once and took th
young man to the choirmaster will
the order to teach singing to the Nun
polltan boy gratis , Finally ho led th
choir and become its soloist. And li
was able to study without starvln
with the priest's generous aid.
Then Caruso went to do his mil
tary service and was enrolled in
regiment of artillery. Asked for hi
profession he replied , "Singer. " Th
captain , considering that such a prc
fcsslon could not make a very eft
clent artilleryman , assigned the r <
emit to the hardest tasks. Cams
was cheerful und r all circumstance
and kept on singing.
Ho was exercising his voice ono da ;
The major , passing the barrack .van
heard him. The man had a fiery ten
per and was feared by everyone I
the regiment. Ho immediately sei
for the singer.
"So you are singing ? And yo
think you are here to sing , do you ?
Caruso began incoherently to e :
ouse himself. But the major soeme
very angry and would not listen. 11
threatened to "teach" him that th
barracks is no place for singing , a
fused him of being a bad soldier , an
ordered Caruso to call on him thi
same evening , where he would be i
liberty to sing as much as he wished
After Caruso had sung for tt
major the latter took him to the cal
of the town , where he had made n
appointment with a teacher of inns
and other competent judges. Afti
the tenor's trial the major address *
him :
"Be off and study your music , be
soldier. And do not let me see you i
the barracks any more than is nece
sary. "
When Caruso left the regiment 1
did not know much about gunnery i
the science of warfare , but he ht
made considerable progress towai
his goal. And , cnruso adds toda
that is why he loves priests and s <
dlers.

Got Lost in His Own Swamp.
To be lost on your own farm in c
amarack swamp for ceveral hours
; roplng about In the darkness , stumb
ing through mud and water , without
a sign of life anywhere , with the day
light shut out by the heavy foliage ol
the tamarack trees , Is no fun. This
liappened to N. A. Ralnbolt of NorfoU
a few weeks ago on his own farm Ir
Wisconsin , where he spent some time
fishing.
Mr. Rainbolt returned from his trli
recently and relates the story. OIK
bright afternoon , In search of whlt (
pine trees which were reported grow
ing on n portion of his place , ho en
tered the swamp believing the treei
to be on the other side of the marsh
The swamp he thought was but i
small one and ho continued his wa ;
across the mud and water , over tin
little knolls of grass which grows ii
these swamps. After walking fo
some length of time he found that In
was In total darkness and had coim
across his own footsteps. He hai
been walking around In a circle am
after making observations , found h
was lost in the swamp. Ho continue !
walking and , after about an hour'
hard work , saw a ray of light botweei
the trees. He reached the other on
of the swamp and climbed a hill an
found lie had wandered a great dli
tance from the lake upon which hi
land borders
After more Investigations Mr Rail
bolt discovered a stream which ei
tered the swamp and also found the
It was too deep to cross and It would
bo necessary for him to go back
through the tamarack swamp to get
home. He boldly plunged Into the
thick underbrush and high growth of
weeds tluough the swamp. In his
blind march through the muck , mak
ing little headway , leaping over little
knolls of glass which protected him
front sinking Into the mud , he came
upon an old log bridge , which had
been built over foity > ears ago. He
crossed the bridge which was very
solid and had been used as a wagon
bildge In the old logging days. He
also discovered that the bridge span
ned the stream which came from the
lake and had he not discovered it he
would hardly ha\e been able to cross
10 stream.
Ho continued in the darkness
trough the swamp and soon light up-
eared. But It was dusk. He had
icon wandeilng through the swamp
11 afternoon. He soon found the
oad and says ho never felt happier In
Is life than when his feet touched
10 guldeway toward homo. After re
nting his adventure to the farmer on
is land , he found that no one In that
eighborhood hud ever heard of the
Id hi Idge.

Orchard In Awful Storm.
Orchard , Neb. , June 20. Special t
The News : This section experience
the worst storm In years , possibly th
worst In the history of the communlt ;
An area of from five to seven mile
square was practically devastated I
hall , accompanied by rain that was 1
the nature of a cloudburst , the streol
and residence properties of this villat
being under from a few Inches to
foot , the storm continuing for a p
rlod of two hours.
Gardens and grain fields In the se
tlon visited were riddled by the hn
and badly washed by the abundance i
water. Window glass is the comma
t ity most In demand today. As far i
known at thin time no live stock was
killed , but many reports of critters
badly bruised wore brought In today.
I'rlckens were killed and drowned In
large numbers.
A loss reaching Into the hundreds
uf dollars was sustained by merchant * :
hole from flooded cellars and base
ments , the principal losers being Nels

ment under the Citizens State bank ,
which filled with water to the colling
or on a level with the sidewalk. Work

large as marbles to some measuring
twelve and thirteen inches In circum
ference.
Sun Starts Fireworks.
Quick action on the part of Herman
Schelly , a salesman In the Klesau
drug store , this morning prevented a
serious lire. The sun's hot rays burn
ing through the plate-glass window at
the front of the store , set afire about
five boxes of fireworks and explosives
with which the window Is filled.
Schelly turned on the fan In the
store and suddenly noticed that the
window in which the fireworks were
stored was filling with smoke. With
gieut coolness he made quick work at
picking out the burning boxes , which
contained torpedoes , cane cartridges
and other explosives.
Some of the boxes were already
burned through and an Instant later
the entire supply of fireworks would
have been burning , owing to the fact
that the fire hud confined Itself to the
center of the fireworks supplies.
The building Is on the qouth side of
Norfolk avenue , facing north , and It
was the early morning sun rays from
the northeast , intensified by the glass ,
that started the blaze.
This is the second fireworks fire in
north Nebraska this season. Spencer
had one last week.
Wayne Has Bad Flood.
Wayne , Neb. , June 20. Falling In
volume equal to a cloudburst and ac
companied by hail unprecedented in
this section , this city Saturday night
was Hooded by one of the worst storms
in its history. Basements of business
blocks were Hooded and the waters
reached the lower lloors of residences
In the lower parts of the city. The
bottoms of Logan creek were Hooded
with two to eight feet of water and the
stream rose rapidly , giving fears that
the bridges would be unable to with
stand the torrent.
In the vicinity of Wayne the crop
damage will run up Into many thou
sands of dollars. The floor In part Is
responsible for the damage to the
young growth , but the sheets of hall
cut down the corn and small grains
until in places not a spear is standing
out of what Saturday was most prom
ising to the farmer.
Hall In some places at 11:30 : o'clock
Saturday night was from , one to two
feet deep , caused by the drifting
Hoods.
The damage to stocks of goods in
the basements of business blocks is
estimated at $30,000. A clothing com
pany and a furniture store will be
among the heaviest losers.
Loss of Live Stock.
The rain and hail fell with unabated
fury for an hour and a half. The
streets became living torrents , rushing
and swirling their way into the creek
bottoms south of the town.
Reports here indicate that in this
section , at least , there will be consid
erable loss in the destruction of live
stock by the high water.
Advices by telephone from the coun
tryside indicate that the storm area Is
a wide one and that It swept a path
many miles long.
Telephone communication was dis
abled. The storm came up from the
southeast and passed in a direction a
little west of northwest.

ng from a number of bad burns about
he body , hands , arms and face as the

search of a cool place to sleep.
When he entered the shed he fell

the ends of the burned matches am
the nails. Upon a thorough exnmina
tion of the burns , the doctor declarei
them , serious. The skin had beer

TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT FAST
How Hamilton's Wife and Mother Felt
As They Saw Him Fly.
Now York , June 18. The proudest
nd happiest woman in New York Is
he wife of Charles K. Hamilton , the
viator. If she has a rival In either
espect It is her mother , Mrs. N. M.
Ueaudette. Both women watched his
marvelous flight from New York to
3hlladelphla from the special observa-
ion train nnd back as far as Prince-
on , where sight of him was lost.
Then they went to Governors Island to
wait for him , and neither will admit
hat in the long and anxious hour he-
ore he arrived there she doubted he
vould succeed or feared for his safety.
Just after New Brunswick was pass
ed Hamilton saw a woman appear
over the tender , nnd in another Instant
million's mother was on top of the
coal , standing straight up and waving
icr handkerchief. Mrs. Hamilton , the
iviator's wife , Joined her a moment
ater.
Here is what Mrs. Hamilton had to
ay of the flight. "I think his feat is
wonderful simply wonderful. Of
ourse , I am prejudiced , but I think
hat Charlie's flight is the greatest
hing that has been done in aviation in
his country since the Wrights first
nade their inventive experiments at
Dayton.
"First , I should say that Charlie won
out because he is so splendidly equip.
> ed for the work he undertakes. He
cnows every part of the machine he is
Iriving , and he never puts an undue
strain on any part. He Is careful , al.
hough those who have seen him in
i.xhibitlon flights will laugh at me , per.
laps , for saying EO. But he Is , never
heless , and he always errs on the side
of caution.
"Nothing happens to Charlie because
le discounts what he is going to dc
eng before ho does It. Charlie doesn'l
ust go out and fly an aeroplane am ]
make those wonderful dips and glides
of his without understanding all about
bis machine and its capabilities ant
possibilities. He has reasoned ever ;
move out to a logical conclusion , ant
Because he has done so I feel safe
whenever he tries anything , howevei
dangerous It may he.
"Was I nervous at the start of hli
flight ? I was nervous , but only be
cause I did so want him to be success
ful , and I was afraid that somethlnt
might happen to him or his machine
that would be serious enough to inter
nipt the flight or disrupt his plans
It's his hobby as well as his buslnesi
and to my notion I shouldn't Interferi
with his plans. I knew what he wai
going to do when we were marriei
and now I ought to accept his ways
don't you think ? "
As for the mother , she would enl ;
say , "I have had the finest day of m ;
life. It Is utterly impossible for me ti
tell you how I feel about It. 'Happy a
a schoolgirl * doesn't begin to expres
it. He is happy In his work ; ho doe
It conscientiously. I knew he'd sue
ceed. "
WITH FEET FULL OF IDEAS.
Chantecler Schottische One of the Ne\
Things at Dance Masters' Congress.
New York , June 18. Two hundro
of the International Association o
Dancing Masters from all parts of th
country glided Into Lyric hall wit
their feet Hlled with now ideas for th
improvement of their art. It Is th
seventeenth annual "spiel" of the o :
ganlzatlon nnd will last until Saturda ;
Many now dances will bo demoi
struted during the week , but u men
her from Jersey thinks his chantcclc
Hchottist-lie will come pretty near get
ting all the applause. It consists of a
running , hop , skip and jump , three
glides forward , tliroo back and a dig
ging movement of the toes , followed
by a succeHHlon of cackles. The aero
plane fever lias developed any num
ber of now dances , the oddest being'
ono that necessitates a start from thi
window sill.
The "subway shuffle" was the only
idea submitted by local exponents of
fancy footwork. The association IH
unanimously opposed to so-called'
"Marathon" waltzing contests , not only
for artistic reasons , but because the > y
have a tendency to increase gas bills.
The "Clucks" That Run Away.
Now York , June 18. "Clucks" is the
most opprobrious word In the Now
York lire department. In ono stinging ,
derisive , scornful syllable , It expresses
nil that Chief Cioker meant when ho
said that a fifth of his men weren't fit
to light ( ires because they wore either
too small , physically , or would drop
the hose and run for their lives when
the lire burned too close.
"It's .a terrible indictment to brlnf ?
against any man working under you , "
said a deputy chief of the department
today , but the raw truth is , pretty
nearly every lire company in New-
York city today has two or three or
four 'clucks' in it. It's even more
disgraceful to relate that when a big-
fire alarm rings in the captains of
these companies send out the 'clucks'
to do errands , like buying a newspaper
or a bottle of milk , so that they won't
have a chance to disgrace themselves
and their fellows at the blaze. "
Chief Crokcr recently made charges
that men appointed to the service-
through civil service were physically
deficient and often cowardly.
The Longshoreman and the Lady.
Now York , June IS. Fritz Achten-
burg , a longshoreman , on the pier ,
saw a finely dressed , bejcweled wo
man , accompanied by a nattily dressed -
ed man yesterday. He confronted
her. She stopped with a start , c-x-
claiming , "Fritz ! "
"Yes , " he said in Dutch , "It is
Fritz. Who is that man with you ,
Ella , my wife ? "
"I was your wife once , Fritz , but I
am no longer. I have divorced you
and I will never come back to you
again. It is none of your justness
who this gentleman Is. "
The longshoreman called Police
man Delaney , who was near , to ar
rest the woman. The policeman said
the longshoreman would have to go
to court and get a wnrrn'it , and
Achtonburg went away. He return
ed without having gone to court , de
ciding that It was not worth while.
The steamer sailed away with the
woman and the other man.
The Ragtime Craze Has Waned.
New York , June 18. "Ragtime
songs and music have about served
.heir purpose and are gradually going
out of popular esteem , " according
: o J. L. Tlndale , president of the
Music Publishers association of the
United States , which Is holding Its
annual session here this week. In
his annual address , President Tin-
dale declared that public taste will
henceforth require compositions of
more solid nature.
