MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL.

By U. n. Bennett, Lewis, kansas.
MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL.
Nothing gives me greater pleasure
than to recommend music as branch
IN our common schools.
While we could not expect every
teacher to be a fine vocalist, or even
an ordinary one. He could, with no
EXTENDED effort, attain the rudiments
in order to impart to the pupil suffi-
cient knowledge to assist him. and
especially those who show signs of
gift in that direction, and in many
instances be the means of developing
their talents to the extent Of bringing
them forward to rank as musicians of
more than ordinary ability.
In city schuols music is taught and
many fine musicians are developed,
while in our country schools, FOR want
of effort OH the part Of tho board of
education in the way of furnishing
music books and supplies, our young
peoples talent in this direction lies
dOrmaaf
Think Of, the pleasures it would
bring and the vacancies it would fill
in the home:
.when gripping grief the heart doth wound,
And ioleful "dumps" the mind oppress,
Then Music. with her silver sound.
With speedy help doth lend redress
There is no factor in the school
organism which so tends to enthuse
pupils, AS that of music and it should
be a phase of the school law that each
district hoard furnish from the school
fund, music and song books for the
school.

COYOTES ARE CLEVER.
How One of Them Drew o Hunting Dol
Into an Ambush.

| How One of Them Drew . Hunting Dog
! Into An Ambush.
No cutter animal is found In the west
than the coyote. The coyote Is to the
plainsman what a fox Is TO an eastern
farmer, only the coyote is more IN evil
dence. Forest and Stream tells about a
dog that had its principal sport chasing
and otherwise worrying coyotes, and
was led into ambush by one coyote and
then set upon by several other
of the prairie wolves and almost done to
| death.
About nine o'clock one night" the pa
ersays, zone of the coyotes came to the
kitchen door and howled aggravatingly
at the dog, which, thereupon set after
the coyote full tilt. The coyote fed
around the house, down to the corral
and around the blacksmith shanty, the
dog yelping after. Behind the shanty
were other coyotes, six or seven of them,
and all of them made for the dog in a
way that made it feel lonely. The
ranchman heard the fight and the dogs
bowls of pain; and grasping a rifle
started that way on a run, yelling as
he went. The coyotes each took fare
well nip and fed, leaving a sore dog be-
hind. Since then the dog has not been
so much interested as on former occa-
sions in coyotes. 1t follows single
coyotes vigorously, but the appearance
of another sends it back as fast as it
can run"
The coyote likes badger flesh very
much, but one coyote is not equal to a
badger in a fight; consequently the
coyote, when it meets badger has to
resort TO stratagem till aid arrives. The
manner in which it does this, according
TO the sportsman's paper,is interesting.
"a few weeks ago." the writer says,
"as was riding along L saw coyote and
q badger. The coyote seemed to be play
ing with the badger. He would prance
around it, then run off little way, the
badger following, evidently very angry.
When the badger saw me it ran into its
hole, while the coyote went off 40 or so
yards and lay down, evidently knowing
I had no gun with me. The coyotes
device was evidently to tease, and so
keep the badger interested till another
coyote happened along, when the
badger would have been killed"

the ads in that To-

cality was known as whisky squeeze
The gentleman behind the bar having
poured out as much of the liquid hard
ware as he thought it prudent to hide
away, the gentleman behind that wood
EN- structure would. with his dexter
hand, force a few drops of lemon juice
in the glass and your whisky squeeze
was ready for the sacrifice.
One night Harry Butts changed the
order Of things and requested that a
few drops of the extract of ginger be
deposited in his glass instead of the
customary lemon juice. This modest
request of Harry's tickled the lads;
and ever afterward he was known as
Ginger" Butts. No man ever drank
alone in that town. Southern hospital
lty demanded that everyone should
wait until his neighbor was accommo-
dated, and the man who treated would
shout: Show your glass;" when every
glass would be drained. I have seen
a score of typos outside of the old
fashioned bar of the CASTOR house,
which, [ believe, was situated on Pol
lock street, wait with rue p~oliteness
for the cry of "show your glass;" at
which command each tumbler would
be emptied with precision.
Now, Ginger Butts was a good-na-
tured, handsome fellow, and half the
white girls in Newborn we're in love
with him, not to mention a few of the
~off-colored ones. But Ginger fought
shy of the fair sex until he met a
young lady in the name of-well, just
here I'll call her Kate Devere. Kate
was a typical southern beauty. She
had the dark hair, flashing eyes, ruddy
cheeks, coral lips and the tall symnet-
'ical form SO often met with in the
daughters OF Dixie. That she was
high-spirited and imperious. will be
seen later CT

Now, there wasn't a lad on the Times
put would have given his whole weeks
string for a smile or a tender word
from Kate, and for a time a certain
individual who shall be nameless felt
that he was making rapid progress in
her good graces until Ginger fastened
his blue eyes upon her, and then that
nameless persons stock began rapidly
to decline.
One night at a little social gathering
Ginger confld entity informed us that a
week previously he had said to Kate
will you?" and that the young lady
had blushingly replied, Il will" So it
was hands down and eyes off with all
the rest of us after that. Some of us,
the nameless person above alluded to
included, felt rather sore upon the re-
ceipt Of this information, but it was
only momentarily. Ginger was such
an ail-round favorite that it was almost
impossible to bear him malice, and in
the course OF a half hour we were all
Showing our bottom" at Ginger's ex-
pense.
The day Of the consummation of the
nuptials had been named. They were
to be married in October, and Ginger
thought it would be a good and friend
~ thing to give an entertainment to a
