Musical Composition
BY Birmingham Girl

1.-THE Sandman is the title of a new
song, published by the Free Kindergarten
Association, Armour Institute, Chicago,
words and music by Miss Lucine Finch, of
this city. Even a glance at the, following
lines of her poem will satisfy the keenest
critic of it's merit, and it's place in child
literature:
Here comes the Sandman, stepping so
lightly,
Stealing along on the tips of his toes;
And he scatters the sand, with his own hit
tie hand
In the eyes of the sleepy children.
Oh hear the sandman singing so softly,
Singing the children to sleep everywhere;
See them nod their tired heads,
See them close their bright eyes,
And hear the Sandman singing,
Go to sleep my children,
Close your sleepy eyes,
The lady moon will watch you
From out the dark ming skies;
The little stars peeping
To see if you are sleeping;
Go ITO sleep, my children,
Go to sleep, good night.
The lullaby, an exquisite cradle song, Is
written in gently swinging movement IN
't.hree-four time and in the KEY OF
major, not departing from TRADITIONAL ana
legitimate lines of composition, nut eVlnc
Ding at the same time an individually ana
originality highly complimentary no INC
young composer.
Just now much attention is being given
on concert programmes, to child songs, and

composition to which all the German mas
tiers have given their best thoughts and ef-
forts, is being stimulated and OUT host or
American composers are offering tine singer
and teacher a great variety of music from
which to select
That 1.-The Sandman" will be a success Is
evident to any competent critic, and the

A RESTAURANT EPISODE.
A Sort of Straw Vote.

An advertising agent, representing q
prominent New York magazine, while on a
recent western trip, was dining one even
ing in PlttSburg restaurat
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adver-
.tisement off a well known dyspepsia prep
aration, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as Ge
himself was regular user of the tablets
he began specializing as to how many or
the other travelling men in the dining room
were also friends OF bhe popular remedy
for indigestion.
He saws: ~ counted twenty-three men
at the tables and in the hotel office l took
the trouble to interview them and was sur
prsed to learn that nine of the twenty
three made a practice of taking one or two
oif Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged to gust the road.
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
had been entirely free from indigestion, but
ne continued their use. especially while
travelling on account of irregularity in
meals and because like all travelling men
he was OFTEN Obliged to eat what he could
get and not always what he wanted.
Another, vino looked the picture of health
said ne never ate a meal without taking
a Stuart Tablet afterward because he
could eat what he pleased and when he
pt6dSeu WITHOUT I6etT Ol d SIetstltSS IlSHl Or
any other trouble.
Still another used them because he was
subject to gas on stomach causing pressure
on heart and lungs, shortness OF, breath and
distress in chest, which he no longer ex-
perienced since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was the only safe remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity,
he had formerly used common soda to re-
lieve the trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other excuses
which weaken the digestive organs, moth
ing restores the stomach to a healthy,
wholesome condition so effectually as Stu
arts Tablets.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestives, pepsin diastese, which
every weak stomach lacks, as we'll as nux
hydrastin and yellow parilla, and cam be
safely relied upon as radical cure for
every form of poor digestion. Sold by drug
glsts everywhere.

MRS. HENROTIN'S PLAIN TALK

Mrs. Charles Henrotin discussed
What is socieJy?" before the Chicago
chapter, Council of Jewish Women.
The present organization of society
she attributed to the fact that Ameri-
ca has no recognized social authority.
She said:
In any other country presidents
wife would be parsonage; in Ameri-
ca she is just an accident.
In America woman makes her
husbands society; in any other coun-
try man makes his wifes.
American women do not concern
themselve swith their husbands bust
ness affairs unless something goes
wrong; then they have to explain.
An American society woman might
care personally if the wife of the pres
ident should criticise her, but no one
else would.
So long as an American mans
business and his home get along all
right he does not care for the rest of
the world.
Women have formed a world of
their own and not find their interest
in their husbands affairs.
When an American woman's hus-
band is elected she gets some news
paper comment simply because she Is
the wife of the husband, and then she
is forgotten.
The men of America are not society
men. They lead too strenuous a life.
They are too much concerned in their
business and in their outdoor life.
We say great deal against the
German housefrau. but we do not I'M
derstand her, She has a great in
tluenCe over her husband.
The bill which has passed the Ger
man reichstag will shut out sixty mill
lion pounds of American canned meats
and sausages. The Germans do not
care for the open door. They are for
protecting ore class at home by max
ing food dear to the laborer. The
American protectionist must not COM
plain He should take his medicine
like little man.

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went down;
One held lock of thin gray hair
And one held lock of brown.
One thought of his sweetheart back
at home,
Happy and young and gay.
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that woman
cared,
ATurmured a prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of a woman's love
Smiled through the paiu of death,
Murmured the sound of a woman's
name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips OF each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed lock of brown.
Town Talk.
