COMPOSING ON THE MARCH.
Melody Came to Him In the Ranks, and
1t Almost Caused Trouble.

Melody Came to Him In the Ranks, and
1t Almost Caused Trouble.
Benvenuto Coronaro, the composer,
recently published some "reminiscences
in one of the Italian musical papers.
He was serving once In the army,
and was ordered to take part in long
march. On the way melody came to
him. He could not get rid of it. He
heard it above the "toots'' of the trum-
pets and the beat of the drums.
Suddenly, the fear possessed him that
he might forget the melody; it was
necessary to write it down.
Taking courage, he drew his note
book from his pocket and began to
write. OF course he lost his place in
the ranks, and the sergeant hurried
toward him.
"Are you crazy?" he asked. "Take
your place in the company at once"
"But cannot" cried Coronaro. "I
must write this down." and he began
to whistle the tune in the face Of the
under officer.
That Was too much," says the COM
posef. 1'He drew his sword, and was
about to strike me over the back when
the captain appeared. The sergeant
made a report, while continued to
write.
"'What are you writing9' thundered
the captain. l handed him the note
book, which he read quickly.
"'The man is to continue writing, ,
he went on. But if that piece (and
he pointed to the sheet of paper in nv

DON'T LEAVE THE OLD HoMI

Yes, Bill. I've thought about the scheme
That you proposed last night,
And. speaking plain, 1t doesn't seem
To me the least bit right:
Sometimes we have to work, It's true,
When we would rather play,
But that's no cause, In reasons view,
Why we should run away.
There's neither cruelty nor need
To drive us from our homes,
For love In every thought and decd
To our lot daily comes;
And che sentiment believe
BY Longfellow expressed
In poem mother read last eve
ITO stay at home Is best"
We've books and Natures pages, too.
From which to grow In mind,
And In the healthful work we do
Well strength of body find
And what sweet consciousness we win
To 'richen memory's store,
By doing earnest duty In
{. The sphere God meant US fori
The time may ripen, Bill, when we
With "Godspeeds" from our own
May go forth In the world to see
II we the strength have grown
To work our way to heights Of fame;
But till that day has come,
Let US continue still to claim
The cheer and love of home.
Let's brighten for the old folks, BILL,
The days Of their decline,
And while We their life's measure fill
With joy brim yours and mine;
And II to busy haunts Of men
In future days we roam,
A food Of laughing sunshine then
Will link our hearts with home.

But the hairs Of your head are oil numbered
Matt. 1880
MY mothers hand was often laid
Upon my head In fond caress,
And often has she paused to braid
In smoother form the loosened tress;
Again, with careful hands she wrought
The satin sheen upon my hair,
Or laid, with loving mother-thought
The rose 'gainst brown to make 1t fair.
II, tossing on a bed OF pain
Through long and weary days, the strands
Like sadly tangled web became.
What tender touch was in her hands,
AS part by part she Strengthened It
And smoothed 1t DER, the while she gave.
With cheering voice and face love-lt,
Some word to make the heart more brave,
Her loving watch-care DER my head
Was constant as the vital breath;
But never yet hath it been said:
"Thy very hairs she numbereth"
Oh, Fathers love, unfathomed yeti
Like voice when mother comforteth,
Close to our need this word is set;

THE MOORISH MERCHANT.

+ Relatives.

He Plays Little Trick on His Mercenary
3 Relatives.
A merchant sailed over the sea to a
distant country, where he made a
large fortune by his industry and
cleverness.
Many years after he returned home.
When he landed he heard that his
relations had met to dine at q neigh
boring country house. He hurried
there, and did not even wait to change
his clothes, which had got somewhat
damaged on the voyage.
When he entered the room where his
relations were assempled they did not
seem very glad to see him. because
they thought that his shabby clothes
proved that he was not very rich. A
young Moor, whom he brought with
him, was angry at their want of feel
ing, and said: '"Those are bad men,
for they do not rejoice at seeing their
relation, after his long absence"
"Wait moment" said the merchant
In whisper, "they will soon change
their manner.
He put ring which he had in his
pocket on his finger, and behold all
the faces frightened, and they pressed
round dear Cousin William. Some shook
hands with him. others embraced him,
and all contended for the honor of
taking him home.
Has the ring bewitched them?
asked the Moor.
"Oh, no." said the merchant, "but
they guess by 1t that am rich, and
that has more power over them than
anything else"
''Oh. you blind men" then exclaimed
the Moor, 1t is not the ring that be-
wiched you, but the love Of money.
How is 1t possible that you can value
yellow metal and transparent stones
more highly than my master. who is
such q noble man?"

ONLY A COMMON CRANK.
There's Nothing RemarkabI,
About Commonwealth Coxey.

There's Nothing Remark abl e
About Commonwealer Coxey.
Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Coxey has
been interviewed in this city, and an
n0unces that he will deliver a Fourth
of July Grafton in Minneapolis. The
people of the Twin Cities need not go
into keniption fits of curiosity over this
announcement. Merely as an animal
exhibit there is nothing peculiar alb out
the Massillon crank. There is a large
supply of local talent in both st. Paul
and Minneapolis which surpasses Coxey
in every line-physical. mental. moral
and spiritual. In masculine beauty the
crank is by no means a Greek god.
John Goodnow is Hyperion to a satyr
by contrast. In mental endowments
and power of thought he does not COM
pare with Buel. the single 'taxer. As a
popular orator Tom Lucas or Col. Glenn
could give him cards and spaces. His
eloquence is Of the mild-mannered va
riety-the plaintive and monotonous
call of the whip-poOr-will, as it were,
instead of the resonant bawl of the mid
night donkey. Rev. Golightly Morrill,
is really in advance of CoXey in spiritual
insight, singular as it may appear. The
fact that the man has been in Jail serves
to advertise him. of course, but many
far greater men than Coxey have done
the state service under similar stress
from time immemmorial.
Notwithstanding the fact that "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own couutry," the Minneapolis
labor element would be wise to stick to
local talent. If Mr.. DonEelly has other
engagements. the list of local unem-
ployed reformers is large this season.
Col. Davidson, Mr.. Reese and David
B. johnson each is admirable as local
spcilbiDder for patriotic defamation on
the immortal Fourth. Cexey's ha-
rangue-aside from the natural and
human desire to see a man who has
been in jail-wlll scarcely pay for his
feed, from either the commercial or
literary standpoint 1t is painful to
strip the heroic armor from this popular
idol. but Cen Coxey is the vulgarest of
merely common mortals, as the people
of the Twin Cities will learn after they
have listened to his Grafton on the

NATTER OF BONDS
And the Manner Of Their Ap-

And the Manner Of Their Ap-
proval.
The suit brought against the Mutual
Investment company by the Peoples
bank and A. H. Hedderly came up be-
fore the district court yesterday morn
ing. The question is whether firms who
execute bonds as surely can be CON-
PEELED to come into court and Justify.
The supersedeas bond, filed in order
that the suit might be carried to the su-
preme court, was the bond under dis
cussion. Cal g. Goodrich and the Met
ropolitau Trust company were the sure
ties on this bond.
There were no objections raised to
MIR. Goodrich, he having qualified as a
bondsman in the regular way, to the
extent of $4,000. The trust company,
it appears. simply filed an affidavit that
it was capitalized at s1,000,00O. and that
there had been deposited with the state
auditor a guarantee fund of 1925, 600.
Judge Hicks said he thought the prac-
tice of approving bonds too hurriedly
was wrong, and OH account of the grav-
lty OF the question it was finally Or
