Many people arc toned up to their best
endeayors by knowing that much is
expected Of them. The desire In strong
within them that the good opinion
which some one has formed of them
should be upheld, and they make
strenuous efforts to this end. Who
ever has had much to do with children
Knows how powerfully this motive
will influence them, and added years
seldom decreases It's force. To pre.
serve the influence, however, It is
essential that only that should be az
pected which can be rendered. Once

A stingy man never loses an .oppor-
tunity OF getting something for mo-
thing, and his efforts TO bring about
this end arc sometimes very amusing.
Old Mr.. B, who lived some years
ago In Connecticut town, was what
his se:ghhoEs called Every close but,
grasping as he was, there was one
thing no would not accept, even for
nothing, and that was Intoxicating
drinks Of any kind. He was strictly
temperate.
One day he was asked to drink with
several OF his neighbors at the village
store. where drinks were sold at tsn
cents each.

It was mus& which taught the Spar
tan youth how to die In the wrestling
wiring or on the field of battle. These
claims are audacious, surely. Yet,
when we consider how the rhythmi-
cal tread OF the brave man differs from
the agitated shamble of the coward,
how music Il tho art OF human Joy,
and how Joy and repose Of mind are
the main elements OF manly fortitude,
we shall at any rate admit that there
Is strong affinity somewhere: our
only difficulty will be to acknowledge
that music, deliberately applied, could
over be the direct cause OF these re-
puted results.
To achieve the end desired Spartan
boys passed their youth In learning
tunes, hymns and songs; this was
their sole mental culture. They were
taught to dance and keep step 70 the
measure Of the songs as they rang
them. And, grown to manhood, now
perfect warriors, marched into battle

that leads our armies to the field of

Spartan practice, yet even in this
music by proxy there are many ele-
ments Of incitement to courage. THE

The favorite problem of thinkers
and teachers, since thought began, has
been to find some engine Of education
which should reach the character as
effectually as the ordinary means Of
training touch the understanding; and
in the opinion Of many, not men
alone, but nations, music was such an
engine. ut II music, said the Spar
tans, (which distinguishes the brave
man from the coward" "A mans
music Is the source Of his courage" II

Enrique half stood in his place. his
great eyes fixed wildly on the man

And now the ruffian seemed to think
9 second opportunity had come.
Doubtless the messenger was in his
old place, and could be reached by a
bold outward swing. 1t was evident
the effort must be made soon, too, as
the man might look down and dis
cover his enemy.
Swiftly the wretch swung out from
the step. His revolver was once more
raised. Then came the climax Of En-.
rrique's life. He saw the pistol raised,
he saw the mans cordy fingers
clinched upon the door frame.
The one supreme suggestion of the
moment came. At the bows feet

throat of a dying wolf as the man
looseds his hold and fell, bruised and

saw him no more. The coach rolled
on the messenger was savedl
The coach did not stop until Ken
nett's ranch was reached. Then the
driver dismounted and the women told
him the. story of Enrique's opportune
act. You may be sure that both the
driver and the messenger whose life
the boy had saved made much of him
during the rest Of the trip. He was
hero at Pescadero for q whole week.
