From his $40,000 Stradivarius flowed the same golden notes with which he had cast his spell over rapt audiences in many a crowded congért house, Little clusters ga- thered about, A few, unhurried by some more important errand, ling- ered long enough to hear Schub- ervs "Ave Maria" to its end, A few dimes and pennies jingled in the beggar's cup and the listen- ers straggled on. Jacques Gordon, for nine years concertmeister of the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra, whose cultured bow draws $1,000 in the concert hall, wheedled $5.74 from a casual street corner audience. The famous violinist. undertook his beggars role to decide a dis pute concerning whether the public appreciated music for itself or was attracted by the magnetism of so- ciety audiences and the fame of ar- tists. With a group of friends he conspired to play the beggar on n corner of Michigan Boulevard, So Jacques Gordon settled for his conspirators that people go to con- certs hecause they love music, And he gave away to charity the $5.74 "Box Office" receipts of a street corner recital by a concertmeister on an $40,000 Stradivarius played by Paganini, | | A speaker at the annual conven- tion of the Canadian Health Asso- ciation stated that a woman was ace. tually worth in dollars and cents to this country only half as much as a man, Bold fellow.--Guelph Mer. cury, Great wealth is a hurden only when the other fellow has it, -- Sault Daily Star, LIBERALS HOLDING MANY CONVENTIONS Great Activity Prevails in Ontario Federal Ridings Toronto, May 28.--The polities! pot is beginning to boll merrily, particularly in Ontario Liberal eir- cles, where great activity has pre- vailed for some days past, It was announced last evening at Liberal Headauarters that the fol lowing conventions have alread) been arranged for this week: May 28--East Middisex, at Hyde Park.
