]. THE ROSARY OF "A RAMBLER I II
An incident at the concert Monday
evening was rather amusing. yet it I
served, as amusing things often do. to :
call ones mind to something not at all $
pleasing. In the brief interval between ].
movements in one of the violinist's $
numbers the audience thinking it the Is
end of the selection began to applaud. Ii
This happened not once, but twice, and i
then, in street parlance, they caught
on. But why We're they 50 eager to 4
applaud: II could not have been alto
sether because of appreciation, for
some who clapped the loudest were
afterwards heard calling it all a bore
The habit of thus applauding has GER
tainly grown to be second nature With &
most audiences, until the artist can ap-
propriate no real compliment to him X
self. There is an admiration which
holds one spell-bound and for the nlo-
ment leaves one incapable of express
ing it save by his silence. Jennie Lind |
knew this when in old Castle Garden
she sang Home, Sweet Home"--sang
lit until tears ran down the faces of |
strong men and when she stopped her
| applause was here and there a sob |
! from hearts overcharged with emotion. /
THE cheers came, but not for mo- /
ment or so and when they came, lusty |
i and clear and such as no other singer I
ever received. they did not mean as |
much to the sweet Swedish songster as
the moment of hush and calm. For adj
miration, like music, does not all con-
sist in making a noise.
They had just been reading for the
lhundredth time or more the poem of
4 Whttier's about the working girl and
4 the judge. when one young lady, whose
Iimpetuosity has often led her into trou-
BILE forewarned by her friends, said,
"Well. 1T might have been may be the
saddest words, but I'd rather have
G them than four others ! know. They
lare actually the meanest words in our
language, i told you So, Why, the
treason I've always loved my mother so
We'll is because have never heard her
say them That may be q rather
lqueer reason for loving ones mother.
and no doubt the young lady could
name other reasons for her filial affec-
ton. But perhaps it is not SO strange
latter ALL There is more in many a
phrase than the speaker or the casual
. nearer may know There are SO many
who. even in the midst of sympathy.
! feel called upon to proclaim their supe-
rior wisdom and intelligent foresight,
that the one who passes all criticism
: b,,, sn
, arrogant word to hurt still further the
sensitive heart must be recalled with
i pleasure for her thoughtful kindness.
And thoughtfulness and kindness are
1.-THE dominating principles of mothers
love and care.
The board of CONTROL may not be to
i blame in any sense for the recent riot
: at Mitchellville. Their intentions and
factions may have been all that could be
. desired, but it can not be gainsaid that
| they lacked in literary knowledge and
n by so lacking failed to discern an inn
4 portant influence over the girls. Great
4 stress has been laid upon the fact that
. the inmates of the school were not only
= amply provided with the comforts OF
. creature life but that for their mental
: delight and edification the walls We're
hung with notices tending to broaden
. and exalt. No selection is oftentimes
: better than one which falls even lit
. tie short of being the best. This was
!, !, the case with the notices and the girls
: Now, the board meant all right, nc
: doubt, but If they will only stop TIC
= think of it, the motto Be What You
2 Seem to Be" was hardly one to inspire
the girls to do good. They might, II
sheer self defense, claim that they were
/ hut following that advice on the night
/ of the riot. They seem to be bad girls
e. and incorrigible, and surely that nigh
they were being it. The motto men
q toned may have been one thrown in
with Job lot of purchased ones. bu
n even the delicacy of the recipient of {
y gift should not have deferred the board
IS from asserting their knowledge of wha
N tha sentence should have been. Fo
who Is there, who ever attended higf
y school or ever read the motto of grad
l. uating class who does not know tina
l. the words should have read: BE Wha
e. You Would Seem to Be-!
