A bishop was traveling in a
mining country and encountered
an old Irishman turning a wind-

a shaft. His hat was off ami
the sun was pouring on his un-
protected head.
“Don’t you know the sun will
injure your brain if you expose
it like that?" said the bishop.
The Irishman wiped the »weat
ceedingly pained countenance.
"What is the matter?" asked
the teacher. ""Are you hurt?"
"No," answered Harry.
"Have you lost anything?"
"No.”
"Well, Harry," insisted teach-
er, "what is the matter with
you?”

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Roder-
mund of San Angelo, Mrs. W. R.
Burrier of Menard, and other re-

of the State, attended the fune-
ral of Mr. Alfred Vander Siucker
at San Antonio on last Sunday.

Strange Bedfellows.
San Antonio. Mrs. Claassen, who
was with her husband at the
time of his death, left San Fran-
cisco with the body yesterday
and will probably arrive in San
Antonio Saturday. Funeral ar-
rangements will not be complet-
ed until the body arrives.
Mr. Claassen had been a resi-
dent of San Antonio for a num-
ber of years before lie moved
to California about a year ago,
and was well known in musi-
cal circles here. He was the
founder of the Mozart Society
and was its director until he left
here for the Pacific Coast. He
organized the San Antonio Sym-
phony Orchestra ami was its first
director.
His wife was formerly Miss
Dorothy Pagenstecher of this
city, daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
A. Pagenstecher of 715 South
Presa Street.
Arthur Claassen was consider-
ed among the best artists and
composers of the present day,
both in this country and abroad.
He was born in Stargard, Prus-
sia, in February, 1859, ami was
graduated from the Danzig Gym-
nasium in 1875. His musical ca-
reer began with his study under
Mueller-Hartung ami Gottschalk
at Weimar Music School. From
1880 to 1884 he conducted or-
chestras at Goettingen and Mag-
deburg.
In 1884 he came to the United
States and became conductor of
the Arion Singing Society, the
Liederkranz ami the Mozart So-
ciety of Brooklyn, N. Y. After
more than twenty-four years as
conductor of the Arion Society
he resigned and came to San An-
tonio.
Here he organized the Mozart
Society, which Brooklyn papers
on the occasion of Mr. Claassen’s
visit there in July, 1916, describ-
ed as the foremost women’s sing-
ing society in the United States.
He organized the San Antonio
Symphony Orchestra and was it
first director. He was at onetime

The Alabama contigent was
using the names of Alabama
towns for countersigns. On this
particular night a sentry chal-

“A friend with the countersign.”
Now, the sentry should have
said, "Advance and give the
countersign,’’ but he did not. He
cocked his gun. The officer, hear-

Mr Claassen left San Antonio
about a year ago with Mrs. Claas
sen to visit California, and was
so charmed with that country
that he decided to make it his
home.

ing: "Do you know, Pat, that
the devil is dead?”
"Ye don’t tell me!” said Pat
in mock surprise.
“Yes, the old boy has gone at
last. ”
Pat said nothing further, but
fished a few odd coins from his
pocket and handed the English-
men a penny each.
"What’s this for?” they ask-
ed.
“Sure,” said Pat, "it’s a cus-
tom of the country. We always

Alabama Military Tactics.
It cannot be said of William
Jennings Bryan that he is defi-
cient in memory when it comes to
raking up the old stuff that shot
hats into the air in bygone
days; and his recent references
to "the days when Wall Street
financed both the old parties and
didn’t care which side won, ha
elicited murmurs of approval
from people who do not take the
time to analyze such ridiculous
statements.
Right alongside of this resur-
rected phrase there was the ac-
tion of the Indiana State Labor
Party, which is “opposed to the
declaration of the American Fe-
deration of Labor asking labor
to elect their friends and defeat
their enemies.” The Hoosierites
declared for a straight-out labor
party ticket, and their point of
difference with the American Fe-
deration of Labor is that the lat-
ter propose picking out all the
“good Republicans” and the
“good Democrats," and electing
them in place of opposing bad
candidates put forward by the
same parties.
Neither Mr. Bryan or the com-
peting labor groups are willing
to acknowledge that among the
rich men of Wall Street there is
just as much honesty of purpose
and mind per capita as anywhere
else in the country. And the dit
ferences of opinion among this
class, that mnkes Republican
and Democrats of them, is in
about the same ratio as that,
which prevails among the long
shoremen and laborers at the
water ‘s edge at the fout « £ the
"Advance Hell!” exelaimed
the sentry. "If you don’t say
‘ Birmingham,’ I’m goin to

Velvet was born in old Kentucky, where
more than one good thing comes from. It was
raised as carefully as any othei Kentucky
thoroughbred. But the real secret of Velvet’s
friendly qualities is its slow natural ageing in
wooden hogsheads. Ageing in the wood
never hurt anything—and least of all, tobacco.
An Irish school inspector was
exnmpling a class in geography.
He had propounded a question
regarding longitude and received
a correct answer. "And now,”
he said to the same boy, ‘ what
is latitude?”
The youngster hesitated a mi-
nute and then with a merry
twinkle in his eye he replied,
“Please, sir, we have no latitude.
The British government won’t al-
low us any.”
