vent on, that look down on New York
rom any height sufficient to give you
4 good bird's-eye view of the city, and
gou will have distinctly red effect.
Now Washington, on the other hand,
Seen from the monument or from the
porch at Arlington, looks green. The
color of Chicago, from the observation
point at the top of the Masonic temple,
is whity-drab. So is San Francisco,
cen from any of the SUBMITS of it's
seven hills. st. Louis is still winter,
when you look down at it from the top
Of the exchange; while Boston, looked
at from the hills back of Cambridge, is
gray. Philadelphia, from the scaffold-
ing of the city hall tower, is red; and
baltimore, as you get glimpse of it
from Druid hill, is also red. but o
deeper red-something approaching
burnt sienna. -
"Of course, you understand, don't
mean to say that you see no other col
ors than those / have mentioned when
looking at the respective cities. Those
colors mean have the preponderance;
that is, they are the cities color tones,
so to speak; and if al artist of the inn
pressionist school wanted to paint a
distant view of any of the cities men,
toned with single slap of the brush,
it would mean red blotch with q green
streak up the middle for New York, a
whity-green furry for Washington,
an undulating smudge of gray for San
Francisco, and so on"

with men has been equal to every emer-

former institutions perish, other
abodes of the strength OF God and man
are found. The world has never failed

grow cold for fear, there is a multi

for a renewed spiritual life in the

THE BASS DRUMMER,
And Why He Was Compelled 10
Leave the Band.


Everybody on the West side who
ever listened to Schmiedler's little
German band misses Strauss, says
the Chicago Record. Strauss was
the bass drummer.
Strauss peculiar charm was diff
cult to describe 1t didn't lie in his
stature, for he didn't have much, al
though this deficiency was to a large
extent made up by a vast and cush-
iony breadth and thickness.
Indeed, he had grown to look, from
long association, perhaps, a good
deal like his bass drum; but Strauss
had bow legs and the drum hadn't.
Winter and summer Schmiedler's
little German band marched up and
down the streets, with Strauss al
ways behind, until every one on the
West side had learned to laugh and
cheer when they saw him.
But one day Strauss place was
filled by an awkward little man with
drum all out of proportion to his
size.
The very idea that Schmiedler's
was astounding, and for day or two
the crowds that flocked to hear the
music were composed largely of peo-
pie who couldn't believe that Strauss
had really gone, and who had come
to see for themselves.
Schneider, who never said much at
a time, explained that Strauss was
getting too old to play well, and that
he had resigned.
But nobody believed it.
A few days later Strauss himself ap-
peared, his finery all laid aside and
his jolly, red face drawn long with
woe. His once martial swing had be-
come a slippered shamble, and the
public beheld for the first time the
broad bald spot which the drum had
worn where Strauss circumference
was greatest-it was a long way from
Strauss proper.
For a time the bass drummer would
not explain his sorrow, but finally
confided the secret to Diedrich, his
most intimate friend. Diedrich told
his wife, and what Frau Diedrich
knew all the world knew.
And this is the melancholy truth,
as Frau Diedrich is willing to bear
witness.
Strauss was dismissed-the shame
of it!-because he could no longer get
his drum near enough to him to strike
it in the middle. That is why
Schneider hired a thin man in his
place.
