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.

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

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.

Caesar. "In fact, Ive been thinking of

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

"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

we'll find him rattling his saber at his

"Don't get blasphemous, Socrates."

his hands in horror.
"I'm not blasphemous, Penn," said
Socrates. "Bill's Gott isn't my God any

me, gentlemen, when the war is over
and Bill suddenly realizes that he has

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."

boy with an answer to a difficult ques-

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
