Rev. DIR. A. b. Leonard seems to have an

Ohio have greater physical endurance than
he has. Besides his duties As pastor of the
Central VI. +. church, he fills frequent en-

in Berea:

| The Salvation Army have lit on a novel
plan for making their singing interesting.
The other night passed the market square
where they were holding big meeting,
| They were singing a song which sounded
50 much like a well known variety piece,
| that stopped To listen, and found that that
is Just what it was. 1t was Peek-a- Boo
! filled with religious words. With all the
associations of the time it might have
sounded tritle SacriligiOus to most people
To hear the Savationists bowling coming
home; Christ, our Lord instead of Peek
a-b-O-o, peek-a-b-O-o. see you hiding
ther-r-r-r-e," and to deeply religion persons
who heard it on their way TO church, il was
no doubt inexpresSibly shocking. We will
probably have ''See-Saw, When the Rob
inS nest again. " Sweet NiOletS, and other
variety gems served up as Salvation Army
! hymns soon, to say nothing of Yankee
! Doodle" and Pop goes the Weasel" The
old walls of Crystal hall, now used aS a
church by the Salvation Army, must be
/ Strikingly reminded of these pieces, of the
days of their youth, when the beautiful
variety stars diSpOrted over the stage, and
with liberal display of hosiery and bad i'll
tonation made the hall echo with Peek-a
boo and all its musical relations. The old
walls are full of the echoes of these pieces.
| The plain truth is however that much of
! the modern popular Sunday music is not 50
very far removed in musical style from
these pupuIar airs. Pick up any of the
popular collections of Sunday school music
of the day, and if you have an acute music
al ear you will have no trouble in finding
strains from all the popular airs of the day.
| The time is often much slower and the air
| is changed enough TO disguise it, and free
the author from the imputation of down
right plagiarism. To an acute musical ear
| the imitation is plain, however. l once
! looked over one of the Sunday school books
with the chOriSter of one of our Springfield
churches, and we found echoes of almost all
| the popular airs of the day, among the
alleged sacred airs. This familar-ar style
of Sunday school music is undeniably pOpu-
lar, but it has little true religious sentiment
| The Olde Folkes concert at Blacks opera
house week before last demonstrated very
finely the difference between the religious
music of modern composition and that sung
by our fathers. The specimens of ''Old re
! ligiOuS tunes sung We're permeated by
deep religious feeling, and were worthy to
be sung in praise of Christ Take the by
ing Christian" for instance, which is now
so rarely heard. There is no sacred musical
composition. which breathes more deedly
religious feeling than this. Contrast it with
one of the modern jingling, alleged Sunday
school hymns and you will be amazed at
the fippancy of modern taste in accepting
this popular stuff digntied with religious
words. There is room for immense I'M
provement in the composition of Sunday
school music.

The only races will be at the county

purses offered this year will be larger than
ever before, and that the races at the fair
will be the best for many years. Since the
association fell through there has been no
attempt to project any races in Springfield.

get"
What about a young mans chances out
weSt?"
"Wrll, if he desires to 90 into the cattle
business. he will need capital. Many a
young man goes west with the-idea that he
can find wealth growing on trees or lying
around loose. He will find his mistake
when he gets there. A man sees many
chances to double his money in the west in
a short time; but if he has nothing to double
what chance has he got? If man gets out
there with only enough capital to pay
weeks board. he will find that he cannot do
any better than in the east. A young man
willing to work and with a capital of $1,000
or 81, 200 has great prospects for success If
he has business ability. Cattle raising is
hard work. Think of sitting i'll the saddle

suffered happened somewhat curiOuSly. The
horses used on the ranches seem tO have the
instinct to avoid the prairie dog burrows
which make fast riding on the prairie So
dangerous. Occasionally horse will get
his foot into one, and then down he goes.
This is what happened to my horse was
riding at full gallop. when down he went
into a burrOw, and | was thrown over his
head with terrible violence. As storm
