A candid farmer. of EVERY, Ia, recent
~ heard performance of st Paul" sung
in Spencer, Ia, by home talent and his
Impressions of the grand work are here
with produced, as they appeared in let
ter from his pen, written to the Spencer
Herald
EVERY, Ia, April 23.-Editors Herald:
Ever hear an oratorio? No? Wen, sir it :
the Warmest proposition in the musical
line on the road
Il went down 10 Spencer last week on
business, and an oratorio was billed at the
opera house 60 that night so I stayed
over and took in the show What's it like
Wen, the curtain goes up on a stage full
OF singers; on sign from their leader they
all start in singing just as hard as they
can. They sing up and down the scale and
round and round; first lady to the center
and salute; second gent salute and cross
over; first four forward and back, and all
hands round, and so on.
Il got in little late and didn't get a
programme, so had 10 guess what it was
all about. From what 1 could gather they
had all been chasing a hen around the lot
and trying TO catch her. They chased il
round and round the house, through the
grove and under the corn-crib.. Then a So
| prano came forward, sighed, and sang in
| recitative, L can't catch her, she runs toC
| fast for me, she runs-runs-runs too fas
| for me- Then an alto comes up beside her
! and MARBLES, Let me assist, let me assist
wen catch her yet; viii poke her out
poke her out from under the corn.
crib Then the tenors cackle. Yes, yes
| yes, yes poke her out, yes. yes, yes
! poke her out And the BASES growl, poke
| her ONT
Some one evidently 'pokes her out fol-
! she sails out over the smokehouse, ant
! into the calf pasture with entire chorus il
| hot pursuit, shouting Stone him to death
stone him to death, stone him to death
! s-t-o-n-e-e-h-i-m-t- o-d-eath.' Then the so
| pranOs and altos squirt ahead of the crowC
| singing the war song, Stone him to death,
while the tenors and BASES bring up tn,
rear. crying. Stone him, stone him, sion,
him., etc. But the chicken, worn out by
the fright and fatigue, crawls into join
of stovepipe near the woodpile, and il
dragged out by the tail feathers, by an aln
| singer in a pink sunbonnet, and is carrie,
| back in triumph before the judge-a bis
man with fierce whiskers-who proceeds 1,
pass sentence on said chicken. After mucl
| growing by the attorneys on both sides
in which ali the chorus occasionally chip
in, the chicken was sentenced TO death
| This ended The first act.
81 should like to have heard the rest o
the show, but 1 remembered that lat
freight would take me nome if I hurried
! so l left at the intermisson.
"A good many complain that they can
understa land or appreciate classical music
but though / am only a plain, ploddinl
farmer, could see through il easy enough
though why they should call it st. Pau
any more than Minneapolis or Omaha
can't imagine"

From Golfers Weekly.
1 dreamed my soul went wandering
through a wood
OF cypress, black against a sunset sky,
And heavy, so they moved to no winds
breath.
Silence more deep than man has under
Followed my steps; light failed, and by
and by
I stood at evening near the Gate of
Death.
Here the black wood divided through the
space
A wide, white road led downward to the
Red sandstone columns with a world on
eacn.
High were the gray skulls heaped at eth
er base
And these are they who meet an unknown
fate
And die forgotten far from human reach.
Behind the Gate was darkness absolute.
Before the road between the cypress
woods
Stretched ever onward till it reached a
plain,
From where 1 heard, because all else was
mute,
Family the clamorous tongues of wars
fierce broods-
OF mems wild voices, hoarse with fear
and pain.
Then suddenly, above the battles roar,
There came a sound of singing, which
arose
From vast company. who crossed the
dim
Plains nearer edge and down the road
did pour
The mournful echo of that mighty hymn
"Our souls have left the battles rage and
din,
Our ears are deaf to shouts of victory
Is there no quiet place where we may
stay?
Our eyes are blinded and we cannot see.
Our feet are dull and will not find the
way,
Throw wide the Gates of Death and let
US in!
''who take the sword must perish by the
sword.
Our only trade is hghting-and through
We dragged our bodies for our countries
gain.
Is it enough, oh God? Have we fought
Wen?
Then give as rest from strife and peace
from pain,
And let us die! We ask no more reward. 3"
And so they passed me, those of every
race,
! A manned, distorted multitude of men.
| Still bleeding from the wounds of which
they died.
White as a clowns chalk mask each
CHASTITY face
Turned once before the Gate was reach
ed, and then
Went down to darkness on the other side.

There will, of course be an investiga-
ton of the disaster which has overtaken
the American liner Paris. 1t is in ex-
pectation of an investigation probably
that the captain and other officers of the
ship refuse to give their opinions as to
the cause of the disaster.
1t is difficult to account for the steamer
being so far out of her course. She was
anywhere from ten to twenty miles out of
1t. 1t is said that there was a heavy fog,
and that it was impossible to see the lights
on shore. 1t is probable that there was
fog, though il is said by captains of other
vessels in that locality on the night Of the
accident that no fog was noticed by them.
The Paris, however, might have been en-
veoped in a fog, while other vessels
few miles distant might not have been
bothered at all by a fog.
1t cannot be said thar Capt Watkins
Is not a skiilful navigator He has the
reputation of being one of the best of the
captains in the service of the Transact
lantic steamship companies. Were the
ships cOmpasses out of order? That can
hardly be possible. because she had only
just left port, and doubtless they were
inspected before the voyage was begun
Capt. Watkins knew, of course, that the
part of the English coast he was skirt
ing was very dangerous. because less than
a year ago a great English steamer was
wrecked very close to where the Paris
went on the rocks. 1t is probable there
fore that not only the captain, but also
other officers were alert and watchful at
the time the disaster occurred.
An investigation may disclose something
which win allow of an intelligent opinion
as to the cause of the accident. Ocean
travellers will feel safer if the cause is
made known. because it can then be
guarded against. If it remains a mys-
terry it will be a long time before ocean
travellers will cease to be nervous when
they pass that part of the coast of Eng.
land. They will be afraid that there are
mysterious currents which draw vessels
on the rocks and, not being known, can
not be guarded against
