(Fonsedy Mdse.) POLAND FIRST—PIANO SECOND. One hardly expects a man who has "devoted so rainy years to music to be a practical man .and a politician. Hut, as a matter of fact, Paderewski has always had many interests beside his music, and has always placed poland far above his art. . His father was an ardent Polish pa- triot, who, ba,cause of his views, was sent to niberia by the Russian Gov - eminent, where he remained seven years. Paderewskl will talk about Poland as melt as you like, but he seldom re- fers to music. Ho once said to an enthusiast who cammended speaking to • him of his new compositions, of his interpreta- tion of certain works, etc.: "Pardon me, but I dislike talking about music. 1 Bay all I have to say we en I play the piano, and there ttee so many other interesting things in the world." Paderewski has played before audi- ences all over the world, and made a vast fortune. Each of his fixigers 18 heavily iesurecl.

"I beg pardon, your Majesty," ob- served Paderewski, who never forgot his father's seven years' banishinent to Siberia. "1 am a Pole." The eame day, so the stogy goes, Paderewski—who had arranged to give a number of concerts in St. Neetersburg-naceived an order from the police to leave the capital within twenty hours, arid he Wee informed that ha was for ever excluded from St. Petersburg.
