The New The Most Wonderful Range Ever Built A-B Combination Gas Range A Kitchen Heater and a Gas Range Combined A gas range combined with a kitchen heater, or garbage burner, that makes the most perfect combination you can think of. Two complete stoves in one not bulky in appearance, but pleasing and graceful in design. There are scores of women who have preferred to burn gas, but could not install a gas range for the reason that there was no way to heat the kitchen. This combination gas range solves the problem. You may now cook with gas and have all the heat required. The kitchen heater section is fitted with coil so that it may be con nected with the hot water tank; in fact, this combination gas range and heater, while taking up but little space, gives the service of two stoves in your kitchen. This splendid range has a Smooth Black Enamel Finish, Combined With White Porcelain and Nickel It is fitted with four gas burners and simmer and two plates on the heater section. The range measures only 42 inches in width, ha3 a large warming closet with white porcelain back and an oven 18x21 with white porcelain door. Bear in mind that you can use the two sections of this combination range sep arately or together. You may use the heater without the gas range or the gas without the heater. This range was built especially for us and can be found only at this store.

I INTERNMENT OF WORLD'S FAMOUS MUSICIANS BRINGS ABOUT NEW CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK Within Sight of the Claw of the Musical Season It la bat Natural That Politics Should Again Break Out, Particu lar! in Face of the Many Interruption Brought About by the War. FT KM II J K FRANCES BAI KR. NEW TORK. May 11. (Special TVItaia sight of the close of the musical season H Is but natural that politics should again break out. particularly In far of the fart that numerous Intern ments hate brought about new condi tions tn the orchestras and at the Met ropolitan Opera-House. In many ways the seaann Just closing has been a series of makeshifts from the repertory of the Metropolitan to the conductors heard In the different cities with the old organised orchestras. True or untrue. It la said among certain cir cles that the latest decision to let out the enemy aliens from the chorus of the Metropolitan was due to the fact that upon one "of the occasions when they considered the German drive suc cessful, among themselves they "cele brated. With the dismissed choristers the directors dropped Robert Lconhardt, baritone, and Max 13 loch, tenor, the former an Austrian and the latter a German. The names of Frieda Hempel and Margaret Matsenauer have also come up In the matter, but it is well under stood that the soprano Is to marry William B. Kahn, the silk: merchant, if she has not done so already, while Mine. Matsenauer Is In a mora difficult position. Her marriage to the tenor. Ferrari-Fontana was unhappy as every one knows, and those who do know understand perfectly that It was not in the matter of politics that the break came between them. It was, however, natural that he should thrust this for ward as a reason, knowing that in ad dition to keeping other causes out of it such a statement could work the singer more injury than any other claim. The - climax In the affairs of the Boston -Symphony orchestra has not been unexpected. It was said at the time of Dr. Muck's arrest that Major Hlgglnson was tired of carrying the burden of the orchestra with all the responsibilities due to the number of enemy aliens within the ranks. But he has given Boston and other musical centers, where the great orchestra has appeared during all these years, too liberal an education to allow at lapse at this time and he has also shown the path along which the organization was compelled to travel In order to bring about the success. That he was dogged In his determin And Ding the Sanguinary Corpse Around His Bed All Night. rri HEREwas a considerable group cf I . noted shades standing in front of the war bulletin which had been installed in the reading-room of the house-boat on the Styx. ,' '"It looks to me," said Ghengis Khan, as he took in the situation In Russia, '"as if Bill of Potsdam was beginning to bulge over into my bailiwick." "Yes," said Attila, gloomily, "Having swiped my laurels, he is now out after yours. I have a sickening feeling down In the regions of my vermiform appen dix that when the last page of history Is written Potsdam Bill will be found to have you and me backed off the map as dispensers of barbaric cruelty and general cussedness. He Is tne topo graphical burglar of the universe." "What makes me positively ill," said Bonaparte, "is the sense of importance the whole business Inspires in me. I'd like nothing better than to take a hand In this fracas, so that I copld be In at the finish, but here we are, tied up in the land of the Shades, and utterly unable to move. "I feel the same way. Napoleon," said! Caesar. "In fact, Ive been thinking of taking my laurels down to the Woman s Exchange and swapping 'em off for a pair of worsted slippers or any oia thing that they happen to have in stock. I'm beginning, to believe that there's nothing In military glory, anyhow, we strong men of the past are so power less to help lash Bill to the mast. A great physician discovers a medical principle, and for a thousand years after he passes on that principle con tinues to battle against the vicious on slaughts of disease. A poet writes a great poem, and 40 centuries later it is still an Inspiration to mankind in com bating failure and despair. So, too, with the scientist. Galileo is fighting today better than he fever fought be fore, but you and I, Boney what are we? Back numbers both, contributing nothing to the commendable effort at the . world to push Bill's face . out through the back of his head." "Worse than that, Julius! Worse than that!"" said Socrates. "Tou've helped William rather than your own people, because, along with Alexander and others, you started Bill on his dreams of conquest. You lads in your small way blazed the trail of ignoble ambition that Bill is now traveling over, and nine-tenths of his arrogance and conceit is his imperial heritage from you. One of Bill's chief faults is that he's got the idea in his head that he is Xerxes, Charlemagne, Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and Trot sky ail rolled in one, and I tell you rlgUi now that if he wins this fight " "AVblch he won't," said Washington. "Well. If he does, and becomes mas ter of the earth," persisted Socrates, "he won't sigh because there aren't any more worlds to conquer, but he'll go out and find a few, and before long we'll find him rattling his saber at his side-partner Gott " "Don't get blasphemous, Socrates." interrupted William Penn, holding up his hands in horror. "I'm not blasphemous, Penn," said Socrates. "Bill's Gott isn't my God any more than he is yours. Bill's Gott is a Gott that bill has created himself, in his own image, a cruel, crafty insti gator of arson, child-murder and rape. with made In Germany etched all over him. While this fight Is on Btll is paying him a great deal of flattering attention, spelling his name with a capital G. and all that, but take it from me, gentlemen, when the war is over and Bill suddenly realizes that he has done it all himself, Mr. Made-in-Ger- many Gott will walk the plank, just as Bismarck did before him." "There must be some remedy for this," said Napoleon. "How about it. Aesculapius?" he added, addressing the doctor. Can t you think of something to cure the world of this bilious at tack?" "Yes, I think I can," replied Aescu fapius. 'Tve been giving the matter some little attention for some, time, and Socrates' remark about you and Alexander, and Caesar, has just given me a clue as to a course of treatment that would be most effective. If it be true that, haunted by the gaud and glitter of your record, he has been in spired to reach out his paw to seize the world, I don't see why some of the rest of our noble army of spooks down here can't haunt him in such a way as to throw the fear of retribution into that large and elegant vacuum he calls his soul." "Ha!" ejaculated Captain Kidd. "That sounds pretty good to me. Anything I can do, for Instance?" . "Yes," said Aesculapius.. "Let's see, Kidd, they hanged you in chains, didn't they?" ' . .. . , . . "Ugh yes," said Kidd. "They sure did, and, I tell you. Doc, it was the most' painful experience of my some what painful career." . -ttWell.-tnere's-the idea In a nutshell," said Aesculapius. "Suppose you haunt Bill in his dreams with a vividly realis tic rehearsal of that unpleasant ex perience. When he tries to sleep, let him, and the minute he drops off dan gle yourself writhingly before him, and as you do point the accepted boney fin ger of all ghost stories squarely at him and say: 'Behold the fate of him who murdered the helpless on the sea!'" "Do you think it would do any good?" asked Kidd. "It might make a dent in Bill's mind If you did it seven nights a week for seven weeks, ; replied Aesculapius. "Then after you had grooved that idea into the Imperial Cerebellum. Maxl milian here might take up the job, with a dress .rehearsal of himself standing up against an adobe wall while a dozen plugged himfull of lead. If Maxlmll ian would join the Haunting Party and do a thing like that with a persistent regularity It might help a lot, especial Iy if just as the volley was fired at him he should pull the long finger on Bill, and casually but sepulchrally re mark: . Behold the fate of him who pre sumed to set himself up as the ruler of an alien race! . "I really think that after a five-day haunt of that kind a really valuable idea might dawn on Bill's horizon." "I've got a corker for the next," cried CromweH, as eager as a small boy with an answer to a difficult ques- (Cuncluded oa 1'age i.).. jf i v p fir f J ' r I : v MMVW . - i i Bill's Gott Is a Gott That Bill Has Created Himself, in His . . , Own Image, . . Hon. "How would It do to havo Charles the First follow Maximilian, and call on Bill in hl.s dreams, all dressed up in his most regal court dress, but carrying his head in a brown paper parcel under his arm, and hand ing the same to the Kaiser with the observation Here, brother, is a little souvenir of another mortal who prated of the. divine' rights of kings! Pretty good, eh? What? "A very excellent tableau it would, make," said Aesculapius, nodding his head approvingly. "It seems to m that if Charles would consent to do that every time Bill fell asleep for ten days running, following on the heels of Kidd and Maximilian, there'd bo some thing doing unter den Linden." , "I'd like to stage a part of the lm-' perial Haunt myself," put in Achillea. "I'll rise up before him some night with my chariot and racing four, with Hector's body hitched on behind, and drag the sanguinary corpse around his bed all night long as a sample of what happens now and then to the over-confident military person." "You've got another guess coming, Achilles," growled Hector. "You can haunt Bill all you want, and play whatever stunts you please with your flying chariot, but you'll have to get an understudy for me. A burnt child dreads the fire. I've tried that job once, and never again." "Well, I can't say I blame you," said Achilles. "The way you skidded over the Trojan plains the day of the. orig inal performance was some skid, and I never envied you your end of the stick. I only suggested it as a possi bility, I never dreamed of it as a prob ability." Well even at that wo can fix-it," said Leonardo da Vinci. "Get me a bale of hay and a bolt of jute, and a pot of paint, and 111 camouflage ;i Hector that'll look so like the reaL thing the Kaiser will never know tho' difference." "I've got a better scheme than that." said Phideas. "Instead of camouflag ing a Hector, let me sculp you a wood en Kaiser that looks so like Bill him self that Bill won't know the differ ence, and let Achilles break the speed record with that in tow a la Hector labelling it: "Behold the fate of presumptuous might." "I suppose I'm about due for some thing on this programme," said Caesar gloomily. "You could be very effective, Julius," said Aesculapius, "and my Idea of your contribution is very simple, iou could spread yourself out on a royal purple catafalque, and He there with a dozen or more daggers sticking up out of youn person " "A sort of animated pin-cushion," suggested Cassius, with a heartless laugh. 'Exactly, said Aesculapius, fepreail out that way you could haunt the Kaiser's dreams for a week or two, raising yourself up on your elbow every hour, and addressing him with: 'Behold imperious Caesar. I have a notion Bill would cultivate late hours and early rising if you'd do that every night foi a month, Julius." Where do I coma in, doctor?" asked Ananias. ."I wouldn't mind taking a hand in this business myself." Good for you, Ananias'; good for you. old boy, laughed Aesculapius. "Wo can fit you in nicely. We can ritr up a pretty llltlo act for you in which. you will rise nightly at the Kaiser's bedside and greet him as a brother. You can stretch out your bony fingers, and seize his hand in your cold dank clammy grip, and say to him: Brother, I was something of a liar myself.' And the minute you vo said that : we'll arrange to havo you struck, by . lightning. It will split you squarely . down the middle, and as your right side falls one way and your left the ' other, "you can roar In his ear: ' Behold the fate of him of tho . worthless word." Really, gentlemen," continued the doctor, "there is no end to the possi bilities of this thing. Moloch eating the young; Tarquin being pelted out of Rome for nape by an outraged peo ple" "Oh. come now. come, Aesculapius.' protested Frederick the Great. "I ad mit that as a Little Lord Fauntleroy my boy Willie Hohenzollern leaves one or two things to be desired, and as a copybook hero he's some failure, but you mustn't go too far. He may be over-ambitious, and arrogant, and a trifle careless of the lives of other people, and penhaps his word needs a few affidavits to supplement its cred- . ibility, but rape? No, no! William has stopped short of that." "Sorry, Frederick, but Bill has got to answer for that, too," said Aescu lapius. "He may not have turned the trick in person, but by proxy he Is the guiltiest ravisher in the history of the world, and every woman who has fal len a victim to his organized brutality rises up to accuse him. And why not? He s-its in his palace at Potsdam and-' glories In the victories of his men on the field of battle and. calls them his victories, does he not?" "As they are." said Frederick. "Granted." said Aesculapius. "But if their glomes are his glories, if Jhetr honors are his honors, then equally must their shame and dishonor be his. That which he condones, he must accept responsibility for. Wherefore let Tarquin go with the haunting party also to William's bedside, giving a vivid representation of Ms contemptu ous expulsion from his one-time capi tal, and as he cringes before the con tempt of civilized Rome, let him flaunt .
