McClurt c oooooooooooooc Among the many unpleasant tasks which fall to the lot of a concert agent nut the leust difficult 1b to decline the tempting offers of certain virtuosi without hurting their very sensitive feelings. When Pan Ogle Trepanowakl wrote to me from Poland In. this sense, my first impulse was to indite a very firm refusal. Heading his letter n Kcond time, however, I gathered from the mixture of English and what appeared to be Volapuk, In which his intentions were conveyed, that he wus following on Its heels with such truly artistic impetuosity that no reply could pos sibly roach him In time to prevent his departure. All hta qualifications were duly set forth. Of course bis hair (he Inclosed a photograph) and his names were un exceptional; the rest I did not go Into. It was quite out of the question for me to ran any pianoforte virtuoso on my own account, unless Indeed It had been the Paderewskl himself. On the morning of the 14tb I re ceived a telegram couched In these terms: "Locomotive twelve hours per mit that one encounters me to the sta tion Trepanowakl.;, On solving this he had evidently, gpt it'word by word from a dictionary I gathered that the professor was coming by way of Que bec on. the 12 o clock train, and wanted to be met-at the station.

During luncheon I was . saved any trouble hy the artist's appetite, which was well sustained , and did credit to my housekeeping. . We retired to the music room, and I got Pan Ogle behind a big cigar before breaking to him that I had not yet arranged nny concerts. I told him thnt many most deserving forelgu artists spent their 11 rat decade In New York in playing for nothing at the functions of wealthy patrons of the art and In giving their services at charity concerts, or, In fact wherever two or three could be gathered together to hear them. 1 said that was a popu lar error Into which all Europe seemed to have fallen. I told him we were the most musical nation lu the world. I sank my voice to a confidential whis per. I said, "The real reason we cannot get audiences is that for some time past listeners have been to a man or a wo man) better performers than those on the platform." Pan Ogle looked Incredulous. It was time to lead trumps. 1 said, "I will wager anything you like that the first tradesman who calls at this house this afternoon will play yon any one of Beethoven's sonatas yon , choose ' to name." Pan Ogle laughed aloud. "You make what you coll Be fun, Is it nq(.?" he asked. I was never more serious In my life," I replied. 1 rang tho bell, and the servant entered. "Parkin," I said, "ask the first trades man who calls to step up here." I "Mr. Blunt, the pork butcher, Is down stairs now, sir," said Parkin.

Pin-kham: I have never before given my endorse ment for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across I-ij'dia E. Pinklium's Vegetable Com pound, she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me ; I now experience no pain and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out." Miss Alice M. Smith, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chair man Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in -women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinklium's Vege table Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It curries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman's health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, HI., says: iney were uocioreu a great relief. and sickly, discouraged with life and without hope for the future, when proof is so unmistakable that Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable.Coinpound will cure monthly suffering all womb and ovarian troubles, and all the ills peculiar to women. eCrtflft FORFEIT U unot forthwith prodnt. th. orirln.l lttr sat MfnatsrMat .knilllll sbor.

Then tht professor burst forth into a torrent oi polyglot superlatives. Ho embraced the reluctant pork butcher. He demanded of me why such a player did uqt derotr himself to the career of a virtuoso. I assured him that Mr. Blunt wus a fall BpecUnon of the public to whom artlstt had to appeal In America. . ' "1 don't know whether you are aware of It," said Blunt, speaking to me.
