Formerly Made More Noise Than Music
The Hoom-Pah Horn.
"Thc Marine band, now the pride of
the nations capital" said an old mu-
stefan to the Star writer, had but few
brass instruments except bugles when
1T was organized. Indeed, there were
but few brass instruments in use in
those days, for comets, alto horns and
tubas are comparatively new. re-
member to have seen the Marine band
marching through the streets of this
city, led by six violinists, with two or
three violas, a fiddle in size between
the ordinary violin and the violoncello.
Nearly all the other instruments were
reed, fageolets and clarionets, with an
occasional French horn. The big at
traction of the band for street parades
was chime of bells, which were carried
on big stick above the players head.
lie shook them as the band marched
along, and made great deal of noise
IT not music. Cymbals, drums, bass
and snares. were more in evidence as
features than they are now. The Ma
rine band had the honor and credit of
inventing what was called the hoom-
pah horn. 1t was a horn of immense
size. 1t was not intended SO much for
musical purposes as it was to carry
of plumber. Whenever the band Off
ciated at receptions. banquets and the
like the bandsmen packed it full of
good things for the children al. home"

Wanted a Big One.

The annual report of Biddeford's city
missionary, just made public. shows
some queer sides of human nature. as
well as many pitiful cases of suffering.
For instance, one woman. who had two
or three small Bibles, asked the mis-
sionary to get her one of those nice fami-
ly Bibles, worth about $14. One family
who applied for aid were found break
fasting on fricasseed rabbit, bread and
butter. mince pie. and tea when the
missionary surprised them by the IN
expected call.

He Compromised.

One of Calgary's recent contingent to
the coast evidently knew but little
about the Chinook, judging by the story
that is being told on him. Wishing to
get some CLANS to take back with him,
he asked an old squaw, who had cob
webs in her eyes and basket on her
head, what she wanted for basketful,
and the blushing brunette replied: "Sit-
cum dollar, hayas klosh." To this the
gay Calgaryite said: Humping vim
miny! Six dollars and all my clothes
No, by gingersnap! I'll give you $3.50,
my watch and overcoat" 1t is unneces-
sary to state that the offer was accepted,
as all the dusky maiden asked for the
clans was four bits.

A DOG STORY.
Rescue Two OF Their K Ind That Were In
Distress.

Distress.
One Of the most peculiar incidents
in the annals Of animal instinct oc-
CURED in Rutlandshire recently, the
facts of which, says Parsons. are as
follows: Squire " is one of the
best known characters in that part of
the country. A few days ago he missed
two of his best sporting dogs, and his
general supposition was that they had
been stolen. Recently, however. he
was surprised to see one of his pets
walk into the house, followed a min.
ute later by the other. both wearing
the appearance of utter restitution.
Investigation revealed the following
facts: While out shooting neighbor
came across u broken bank on his es-
state, and two of his dogs showed un-
casiness at hole in the ground. Moth
ing he could do would induce the dogs
to leave the spot, and he finally Sc
cured a spade and began digging for
the cause of the trouble. Eight feet
of earth was dug away before the truth
was out Then he discovered the two
dogs, evidently buried from their own
exertions in endeavoring to chase a
rabbit.

THE PRECISE MAN.
Advice as to tho Manner OF Putting on .
Postage Stamp.


Postage stamp
"When you put a postage stamp on
an envelope" said n precise man to hin
son, you should put it on square and
true, in the upper right-hand corner,
and as near as possible to the margain
of the envelope. You put it on at the
right-hand corner for the convenience
of the stampers in the post Office, so
that it may be uniform in location with
the stamps on other envelopes and SO
more conveniently and expeditiously
stamped; you should study the comfort
of others as well as yourself. You
should put it as near as possible to the
corner, so that the canceling stamp
will be less likely to deface and so per-
haps to obscure the address on the en-
velope.
you should put it on square and true
because dtat is the methodical and
proper way to do. Many persons are
disturbed by the appearance Of a
stamp put on in careless and slipshod
manner. And i can easily imagine that
such a practice might work positive in
jury to you. You might have occasion
to write to n man ON matter of business
that was of importance to you. You
might compose and write this letter
with faithful care and set forth what
you had to say with commendable
clearness and precision, and yet upset
it all by slapping on stamp carelessly;
the recipient might judge you by the
one slight act done naturally rather
than by the studied work done with a
purpose.
MY son, don't do It; put the stamp on
where it belongs, so that the little touch
OF color will grace the envelope and not
deface it,

OUTGROwN FRIENDSHIPS.
ssd Changes In the sunny Fields Of Com
radeship.

radeship.
Is there anything more distressing
in life than friendship outgrown :
broken off through some difference of
opinion, some misunderstanding that
few words could have set right, or
an estrangement the result of a hasty
temper that prompted ugly words and
untruthful, bitter sentiments; no, Il
friendship outgrown is the unhappy
product Of too much worldliness on
one side or the other. Perhaps educa.
ton would be the better word, or q
knowledge of the world a more comely
phrase, but whichever pleases most the
outcome of the same never varies.
Take two girls at school, says the
Philadelphia Times, chums they have
been through all the years of study
and fun they have passed together,
they separate at graduation swearing
eternal friendship, letters fly back and
forth for time, and then one pays the
other a visit. All, how many illusions
have been dispelled in that reunion ?
Life has changed one, perhaps, from
the girl OF year ago into woman,
while it has left the other where she
was. After the first good talk over old
times they cannot help seeing that
there is something different in the at
mosphere that was once SO thorough
ly congenial. The visit over, a few more
letters, then silence and another friend
ship lost in that great labyrinth of
change that has grown up on the sunny
fields of comradeship.

ALTERNATING KILOGRAMS.
Saving Money In This Way Is Sometimes
Costly Business.

at is false economy to attempt to
save money by abbreviating kilograms,
and l found it out to my COST" said
woman several days ago in the hearing
of a New York Sun reporter. ut hap,
pened in this way. My sister and l
went to Florida by boat, several years
ago. when there was an outbreak of
typoid fever in several Florida towns.
My sister, Mary, was seasick all the
way, and when we reached Jackson
vile | telegraphed: Arrived, Mary ILL.,
Return next boat We took the trip
for the sea voyage, you know, and had
no intention of staying in Florida.
When our boat pulled in at the pier in
New York l saw my brother-in-law and
his whole family waiting for us. They
looked solemn, and | said to Mary:
Something's happened AS we came
down the gang plank they rushed at us,
and, grabbing my sister, said: why,
Mary, is 1T safe for you to be up and
dressed so soon" Why not?' said my
sister in surprise. Why, because the
fever is dangerous Then it came out
that they had supposed from my tele-
gram that Mary had typhoid fever.
why didn't you say sea sick, instead of
i'll, in your dispatch? - asked my brother
in-law. because it would mean an
extra word / answered. My brother
in-law had brought n carriage from up
town to carry my sister home. and
when he found that she wasn't sick he
told me that, just as lesson, might
pay for the carriage. 1t cost me seven
dollars, and since then have written
out my kilograms in full"

There may be an endless succession
of propositions like those now pending
before the legislature. Somebody will
presently want an Andrew Jackson day
and u Calhoun day, and then we will
have a proposition for O Ben Tillman
We are surprised that some reform
brother has not suggested it, already.
1t is certain that Ben Tillman has done
things that Lee, Stonewall Jackson,
not have.done-won}d not have dared
do. If that day is dedicated-and we
would respectfully suggest the first OF
April asfthe only appropriate one-the
next move would be q John Irby day
aud the reform element might even
give our friend Captain Shell q day
say the goth Of FEBRUARY, so that he
would be remembered only once in four
years.

and their recommendations to keep the
crop within seven millions bales should
be realized. 1t is q difficult matter,

within the bounds specified. 1t is mad

Our Critic.
Our good friend Col. Hoyt, since he
left Laurens, where he had good, hon
est training as a boy has grown nice
and critical and here is what he says
without any disguise of a facetious
turn, of The ADVERTISERS spelling.
Did the constitutional convention al
ter the spelling of the word ''magis-
trate" when it was substituted for trial
justice? 1t is q good change, and brings
back the custom OF We olden times by
having a Squire in every neighbor-
hood, but the Laurens Advertiser
styles him ''majistrate." Perhaps that
is old English. The editor of the Adj
vertiser is very learned in tho law, and
we hesitate to question his spelling
qualifications, but that was not the
style in Laurens when we were u boy.
The word is derived from the Latin
MAJIs, MAJOR, majister, was carried up

England some eight centuries back,

speaking countries and has got wrong
