A newspaper in Central New Tork State sent a reporter to interview an elderly man who had taught music in that section for 53 years, and in that period had earned exactly $67,000, an average of a trifle more than $1260 a year, which, of course, had been spent in living, says the Kansas City Times. The theory of the newspaper editor was that the life of this old music master had been a failure, and that he would be bitter against the world. "But bah!" exclaimed the aged music master. "Bah! What Is money, after nil? Surely, cold metal. I earned a little, I spent it all. and. although I have no money nor property. I am the richest man in the world because my music, that remains forever. Tou un derstand? And dreams memories old friends, unwritten symphonies that wan der across my thoughts. I have my music and my memories, and the little children I love, they are always with me." Napoleon at St. Helena expressed the came Idea when he said: Ah! mon DIeu! all men have about the nme proportion of happiness. Assuredly I was not born to be what I have become. Well. L should have been as happy had I remained Monsieur Bonaparte as I have been as the Emperor N'apoleon. Workingmen are as happy as other people. Everything Is relative. I never found any real pleasure In good eating, because my table has been always good: bat a poor fellow who never Un-s as well as I do may be more happy than 1 am over hla plate of soup and a roast goose. At any rate, his life is more happy than the life we are now leading at ft. Helena. MKLnt PREACHES RELAXATION. An interesting acccount is met with In a recent number of the Sidney and Melbourne Magazine of a lesson In singing by Madame Melba to a num ber of students in the East Melbourne Conservatorium. Madame Melba be gan her lesson with a physiological discussion on the throat and vocal chords, urging that the first lesson a student in singing should learn is the physical formation with which she sings. "Without hard, concentrated work you can .do nothing, not even if you have the most beautiful voice im aginable." continued Melba. "Health, musical intelligence, pluck, grit, -le-termlnation. tenacity are indispensable. But above all these are health and good teeth. The great thing in sing ing is relaxation. Anyone who stands wrong can never hope to sing welL You must relax the same as a prize fighter does before he enters the ring. Terhaps the most notable feature of the lesson was that every student was met with the same Injunction to relax. 'Itclcx. relax you cannot sing If you stand wrong," Madame Melba . told Dearly everyone in succession. 'MUSIC SOTES. Madame Olive Fremstad, among the greatest of dramatic prima donnas, is going to build an American home In the Maine woods. She is seen In the picture breaking the ground, an old if f , -.A F X W)2, custom in a new land.

PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPO SITION, San Francisco. July 13. The piano recital by Miss Constance Piper, of Portland, in the reception-room of the Oregon state building. Exposition grounds. Sunday night, was a notable occasion, musically, in the history of the state's entertaining. Miss Piper is young and new to San Francisco; and San Francisco, musical ly, is requiring. Thus many of the San Francisco guests came prepared for the usual thing in the work of a young pi anist who has been called talented in her home city. They were sympathetic; they were kind; they were prepared to be patient. When Miss Piper, a fair, slender young girl, but as composed as a pro fessional, sat down before the piano there was heard throughout the large room a curious rustling, followed by a sort of anxious stillness. But when she had finished her first number every one had forgot that a young girl was making her initial appearance in San Francisco, and knew only the music that she made, they settled back for an evening of rare musical enjoyment. Carl Zoberbier, a prominent San Francisco pianist, who played second piano in the last number, the Grelg concerto, said of Miss Piper at the close of the concert: "Never have I found in America an American-born pianist with so much temperament. How has she blossomed In an atmosphere bo un 311'SIC PEOPLE ACTIVE! I.X , CIKREST CO MM EXT.

"What makes you think Mr. Howell will succeed as a public singer?" "He has the soul of an artist and the perse verance of a book agent." Philadel phia Public Ledger. Georgia Rich presented several of her students in a piano recital at the First Baptist Church. St. Johns, and the church was beautifully decorated with nasturtiums and butterflies. Miss Rich was assisted by Lenora Annona Accetta. soprano, recently returned from Europe, where she has been studying singing' for the past three years. She was re ceived with cordial applause and had to respond to several encores. Each musical as this America? She playa professionally she is wonderful. I came prepared to lead an amateur she led me. I bow to Miss Piper. She plays with so much feeling, with auch deli cacy of touch. She has not been spoiled. She is wonderfully taught She has no nervousness to overcome She has a great future as a concert pianist." George von Hagel, 'cellist, who heard Miss Piper for the flrct time, also ex pressed the greatest pleasure in her work. "She plays with great bril liancy." he said. "There are many pi anists In America, but young women of Miss Piper's quality are exceedingly rare." Mr. Von Hagel went on to say that he considered It a great mistake to send our American young women to Germany to study music, when they could get as good Instruction at home. "All they get abroad that they cannot get here is the musical atmosphere " proceeded Mr. Von Hagel. "Now bo many of the really good musicians are returning to America that charge can not much longer be made. America will have its own musical atmosphere. The musical feature of this country Is most promising." . Repeatedly musicians asked with whom Miss Piper had studied, and it was a pleasure to be able to say with Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, of Port land, than whom, according to Mr. Von Hagel. there is no greater pianist in America today.

Deatroy Ilnlldlnaa aad Homeateader Itraltm lllnwelf tm lar1lablr Leaves I era tm t alqne. UNDOUBTEDLY the most unique "cheese" factory ever operated In the I'nited states wa. (started several year, ago on the summit of Mary'a Peak, one of the highest mouniains of the Coast range, in Western Ore gon. Mary's Peak, or "June Peak." a it was known at that time, overlooks the evergreen Willamette Valley, and was once a part of the National domain, open to settlement for homesteads. lis summit Is comparatively flat snd cov ers an area of about 600 acres of meadow land, the natural grass bcinc half as high as a horse or cow during the Summer and -.rly Fall months. Snow remain, on the peak till to latter part of June or till the flrrt of July. All the lower part of the moun tain Is hravily timbered with fir and spruce. As the summit Is reached by trail, over which horses and cow. can be taken, the homesteader who located the upper portion. Including all the meadow, believed be could put It to good use by pasturing milk cows on It during the Summer and early Fall months. converting the milk into cheese. Thla hotrtesteadt-r. with the help -f hla boys, built a cabin, corrals and stahles of logs on the summit of the mountain and drove their cattle up to the meadow late In June. So the "factory" operated very successfully that first Summer; but when Winter came on' it was necessary to move the herd down to the lower valley, for It wa. very coUl on the mountain top. and the snow drifted to a depth of from eisht to 20 f-et. completely hiding the buildlna-s. The next Spring the rowa were driven bark to the mountain top ivaln, but the cabins were found badly damaged by the heavy now s. Re pair, were made, however, and tho "cheese factory" started aualn. Again did they move down when Wlntvr came. but that season the snow, piled so deeply on the cabin, that some of them were wrecked. The homesteader and hi. sons, disheartened and dl.couraee, gave up the task. That wa. a number of years ago. and all that remains of the "cheese factory" on the mountain top are the broken and crumbling ruins of the cabins, stahles and corrals. The big meadow on the summit of Mary's Peak Is still unclaimed and no one ha. the hardihood or courage to repeat the experiment of the early homesteader. Cat li! a met Sohool Contraet I-ei.
