...mean, unscrupulous, supremely arrogant person; one which comes as no surprise to the unprejudiced Wagnerian. In so doing they point darkly at the dying lady at Bayreuth, accuse her of influencing Wagner, even of distorting facts herself for the sake of proving Minna a shrewish, ill-bred woman and herself the ultimate inspiration, the great love of Wagner's life. That the Burrell documents provide a strong case none will deny. Minna was evidently a generous, badly abused soul and Wagner loved her. But Authors Hum and Root have weakened their argument by conducting it in a spirit...
...success of the latter has been more marked because of its eventual merging of slight variations under the influence of one central idea. Ky Elright, at California, stands forth as the coach who has had the greatest success in pressing the method to its limits. The California oarsmen are bred in the same rowing saddles, as it were, from month to month. Practically no substitutions are made, and when they are they become permanent for more months. At Harvard, where the win-or-die attitude is somewhat frowned upon, the omission of substitutions is not altogether in accordance with...
Rotund, big-voiced, bad-land-bred, city-smoothed, General Manager Koenigsberg will not seem out of place around the office of the Denver Post, where once trod fleshy, practical-joking, hard-boiled H. H. Tammen. Nor will a Hearstman be any novelty to Publisher Bonfils, who imported a setting of them in the Yellow '905 when he first began to make his paper a hissing to indiscreet Denver citizens...
...oldtime fox trappers, Charlie Dalton was anxious to catch a "nigger"-not a black fox but a "red" fox preternaturally dark by some accident of heredity. Having caught several such, he bought three pairs from other trappers. Instead of selling their skins for a proportionately large profit, Charlie Dalton bred them, started the first known silver fox farm for breeding purposes and the Dalton strain from which the best captive silver foxes are descended...
...silver fox, whose long guard hair is blue for two inches closest to the body, black for the next half inch, white the outside half-inch and tipped with black. Dalton's foxes were fed on horsemeat, bread and milk, with occasional young calves. Modern ranch-bred silver foxes are fed cow's milk, with cream added for fat content when first weaned. Soon afterward they get eggs, liver, tripe or heart. Adult foxes are permitted to gobble whole meat, shredded wheat, fish, orange juice, tomato juice, turnips, spinach, porridge, cod-liver oil and yeast...
