Several Tacomans are making a
strong attempt to get away with a
section Of school land located near
Tacoma, which land alone is very
valuable, besides the lot of stand
ing timber upon the section. The
parties are attempting. to secure
it under the mineral law, simply
to get possession and make it an
other big addition. to Tacoma. AL
though some scattering gold has
been found it Is necessary to show
.'color" in paying quantities, and
it is believed that spots have been
''salted." The county commits
sioners now have experts at work
examining the claims. Public,een,
.tiulent is decidedly against the at.

evening paper. He watches every
motion with those steadfayt, beautiful

unchecked enthusiasm, what frank

The Aberdeen Herald gives the fol-
lowing bit OF. advice that we of Shell
ton should profit by: Much time is
often wasted i'm talking instead of do
ing. 1t is easy to talk of the natural
advantages which this place possesses,
and compare them with those of other
places, but to act in such IL way as to
make these advantages materlalize, to
build up the city and impress strang-
ers with its importance is quite another
thing. 1t may he well to act on the
old adage: make haste slowly" but
this is only wise in limited sense.
Activity is necessary to secure pro-
gress, conflicting interests should be
harmonized. "The greatest good to
the greatest number" should be the
motto. If all were to act upon this
principle our streets and sidewa ks
would soon be completed, hotel
would be erected that would be ii
credit to the city, our manufactures
would be increased, labor would find
employment. Increasing numbers
would require the building of new
houses Vacant lots would be i'm
proved. Hills adjoining the city now
covered with timber or rubbish would
be cleared thus opening up the finest
residence portion of the city. Loca-
ton often makes city. Indeed where
decided natural advantages exist it
will make the city. But let these adj
vantages be supplemented by an en-
ergetic determined people actuated by
a spirit of push and vim before which
obstacles yield and the progress be-
comes doubly rapid.

Rouget de LIsle and tho "sIarseiIlai.e. y


Yet another tradition disproved, and a
graceful legend upset and discredited.
Every one knows who wrote the music Ut
the "Marseillaise," and how Rouget de
plsle, lying in prison in Paris, heard tho
troops marching from the south sing the
famous war song which he had composed
TO cheer the conscripts at Strasburg. The
troops were coming from Marselles. Rou.
get de isles hymn was hencefOrth called
the "Marseillaise," and in 1880 It's COM
poser was pcnsionod by Louis Philippe,
We'll, ROugot did not write the music at
all. There lived at st. Omor, iif the de-
partmcnt of Calais, modest old chapel
master, who had control Of the music of
the cathedral, and believed himself To be
q composer. lie wrote hymns and an
thems and pieces during the years Of his
office, which began in l775 and ended in
1877.
lie even wrote an oratorio, taking the
choruses from Racine'S Esther" for his
librctto and calling his mdgHiiDl opus by
that name. When he retired from his
peaceful otiice-two years before the
taking Of the Bastile-he drew up an in
ventory of all his works and deposited it
and his MSS in the archives of the town.
There they have remained, cared for GER
tainly, as the old organist would have
wished, but also wholly undisturbed In
the introduction to the OratOriO was that
very hymn to which, two years after the
choir-master's retirement, Rouget de 'I-le
set his famous words.
The Ms has lately been brought forth
from obscurity, and the air discovered in
the composers autograph There is even
something stranger. The battle-hymn, as
Rouget wrote it, had certain ilorid pas
sages which he judged in accord with mar
tial music. Subsequent arrangements by
| more skilled composers have reduced or
omitted these and in doing so have left
the composition exactly as ii appears in
the old Chapcl-mastcr's autograph score.
