CONTROLLING SYMPATHY.
We Have No More Right to Be PrOdi-
gal with 1t Than with Our
Fortunes.

1t is commonly said that no man or
woman can be perfectly happy in this
world, for if all that was necessary to
make one happy fell to his or her lot,
unhappiness would creep in through
seeing the suffering and sorrow of
others, says A. S. Atkinson, NJ. L.. in
Woman's Home Companion. This
sympathy with the world of people
around us serves us many valuable
lessons, and we would not eliminate it
from our lives if we could. But we
have no more right to be prodigal
with our sympathies and emotions
than we have with our fortunes. 1t is
as much our duty to hold our powers
of sympathizing with others under
control as it is to curtail our passions.
Excessive expenditure of nervous en-
ergy for others is a crime upon our
own natures, and we have no au-
thority to justify us in its commission.
Yet the man or woman who sees only
the gloomy side of life will waste en-
ergy and emotions in this way if there
is no other channel through which
they can be expended for self. A
clear comprehension of the sufferings
in the world is necessary for our we'll
being, but undue broOding or emotion,
al sympathy over them will accom-
psish nothing but evil. We merely sdd

HE JUST PLAYED ON.
Terre Haute Musician Who footed
Defiance ut the Bolts of
Jupiter.

Over in Terre Haute, ION the banks
of the Wabash" there is brass band
which has, for good many years,
borne the reputation of being one of
the best, if not the best, in the state.
Whenever this band appears in the
streets of Terre Haute or any other
city in Indiana, it is sure to attract
a crowd, and the quality of the music
it renders makes this fact easily ac-
counted for, says the Indianapolis
News. The band has a solo alto player
who is a genius in his way. He can
play anything that can be blown into
or scratched with a bow, and his part
in the music by the band" is always
an important one. This artist is a
German, more or less phlegmAtic in
temperament. 1t has often been said
that nothing seemed to rattle him
when out with the band. and his stOlidi-
ty in the face of accidents is a 6y-word
with the other members of the band
Street cars have run into the parade,
runaway horses and teams have scat
tered the other members of the band
like chaff before the wind. but the solo
alto kept serenely on without even los
ing step. The other members of the
band look on Gus as a kind of uncanny
being, absolutely devoid of nerves.
On a recent Sunday the band was
engaged to play at the baseball park
in Terre Haute, and while waiting for
the car that was to take them out, a
storm came up. The band went to Sew
enth and Main streets to wait till the
clouds rolled by" and while waiting
they gave the guests of the Terre Haute
house, at the corner, a serenade. Sew
eral selections were played, but still
the rain kept up, or down, and light
ming began to blaze. Finally, as the
band was getting in its best ticks at
"On the Banks of the Wabash the
storm reached its climax. The front of
the hotel is ornamented with several
towers above the fourth story. and
just as Gus was beating down strong
on the solo part of the air so dear to
Terre Haute people, lightning struck
one of the towers and ran down the
front of the building. The bolt was
of sufficient force to create a panic.
Chairs were overturned, and their oc-
cupants knocked galley west" thing
from the roof fell in shower, and the
members of the band were hurled into
the street or against the wall of the
hotel. The man who operates the tuba
was thrown into the middle of the
street car tracks, and others were ~
ing around in more or less picturesque
attitudes for half a block. ALL except
Gus. When the smoke cleared away,
there stood the solo alto, playing away
as if nothing had happened, and com
petent witnesses declare that he never
missed a note. With his eyes half
closed, he was blowing away at "The
Banks of the Wabash" and not until
he reached the end did he pause. Then
he looked around for the rest of the
band and asked in a surprised tone:
"Vot's de matter off you felIers?'
Nobody has told him yet; they say
it wouldn't be any use, because Dewey
on the bridge at Manila was in panic
compared to Gus.

Value of the Museums.

Education having lain mainly in the
Echool-roOm and the lecture-room. in
the study and the library, the oppor-

other respects, our children are more
fortunate, and are having not only a
better time at school now, but are OBJ

The pleasure of seeing Fon Chong Mai,
the Sir Henry Irving of China, act the
leading part in play entitled Ching
Won-Bohow." The plot of this play
contains nothing new to an English
man familiar with Shakespeare.
There is scarcely an incident or prov
erb in the piece which does not recall
the work of the great poet. Fon
Chong Mai is popular man and a
great actor. For over 300 years his
family has been identified with the
actors art, and when he acts Ire is
often attired in a costume which an
ancestor wore two centuries ago on
the stage. He is man of the keenest
perception, highly educated in Chinese
arts and sciences, and should he by
any misfortune be obliged to quit the
stage he could earn his living in al
most any business or profession His
memory is prodigious, and he pos
