they should pluy through eternity.
THERE'S the plano solos, In particular, !
want 10 express myaclf about ItwouId
hurt me lnslde N l didn't don't like
to spy H. It's on awful thing TO say,
Us tho DieAnest thing ] ever did say,
and hopN the good Lord who made me
and my caro-, muslcal department and MI,
will never plbce me where will DO com
pell cd 10 say Such a thing again, but
would AbOu az soon hear the Salvation
Army. There was one professor thai
was imported from somewhere, TINT
plnyed piano solo, sDd the people all
a pplaud, d and raised big disturbanc
when he came on the stage, aud -,
wife and got our ears all Fixed 49,
delIphiiome reyelIy IN such tw' :, ,,o,,n a,
M would carry us sailing az .,.,.n ANN,
out Of this tough world N, ,ho una,
being. He came In o. al Nude hin boU
very pretty aud 81 down. He bepn,
lingering around &d up and ooNp solr
OF gingerly' D ID he'd make the he,l
tin gle glltv ~ II BIO was trying III. n
to zee II .iey were working right, Then
he W OVID srop and lock al EN-, and seen
TO gr.i mud and jump at them and whuck
e'm all ut once for two or three times
vii, he thought he'd punished them
enough, and then he would dror
back 10 tlngling again.
' Once he seemed TO get stalled, he
just stopped, and was looking AT tho
keys; / lelt sorry for him; thought hr
didn't know where TO 90 next but !
guess he did; but anyhow when the
street Gar gong went changing out, out
side the door, II seemed TO DO mighty
welcome and heaved sigh Of relief.
Finally my wife whispered 10 me-, faint
Ia never going TO ge' through tuu
Ing NJ that old macllueY" just then
h. got up and bowed and quit and what
surprised me wus TINT the audience
clapped their hands aud whoored for
him 10 come brcN. There WAS a W, man
next TO my wife with big flowers In her
HIT that WIS Just clappipg her hands
sore, aud | asked her what she was clap
ping her hands so for, why" she SAID 4,
"dont you sse every body else ~ applaud
ingj they know a good thing; that's
grand"
| don't like to be impolite, but | jus,
said there aint no tune In IL; like
music that just runs right along, and
you kind OF have some idea where they
are gong, and feel like you want 70
keep time:wth your foot. But pshaw
with that sort Of music, YOU are liable to
act your foot down right where there
'aint nothing, right where he's stopped"
Well, Mr.. Editor, I'm afraid III sOy
too much, but must say little more,
to say that II was just about all alike:
there WINS no tune to any Of IL, singing or
playing, except one piece; IA very hand
some woman that grinned and showed
her teeth mighty pretty, played Yankee
Doodle on u fiddle. You never heard
such playing, che played three or four
kinds Of instruments all on fiddle.
First she just played fiddle Then II
was flute, and then flfe, and all the
while il was yankee Doodle" and
could just imagine, could see the ten
In old Boston bay, and then thought
was marching up Bunker hill. Oil
that was fine, and the people did yell;
aud that time | helped 'em. But II
seems As II the Jubilee management
didn't want anything good. That was
the only good thing there was that night,
aud they wouldn't let her do 1t over.
Mr.. Editor, this is my honestly ex
pressed opinion Of the Jubilee. don't
make any reservations, and l don't
believe | am the only Reno county fool
that thinks this Jubilee Is mainly non
sense, although am willing to admit
that Yankee Doodle piece was worth all
paid and more. | hope you will print
this, for If you don't / will have to tell
II on the street and that's harder work.
Very Respectfully,
