Singing school.
n. b. Smith in the Courier ournall
Who goes to a country singing
school sees human nature in many
Of it's various phases. There the
proud and the meek, the giant and
the dwarf, meet.
I was at session of Saturday
evening and Sunday singing school
recently, saw several things of one
kind or another, and am con
strained to write up my observations.
There was the big, hearty, strap
ping lad. a good, noble soui WHO
takes the world in ease, not having
any nerve tearing ambition to rank
high either in the worlds thought
or i" d"o'In over his fellows.
tibilities OF love; goes with a girl
now and then only, and is not in
any serious danger Of having to
dose up with morphine to alleviate
the pangs of disappointed love.
Withal, he is a good, happy blade,
who diffuses sunshine about him,
making friends and easing the stiff
awkwardness of formality by his
affabihty.
There was the little sulky scrub
who wouldn't smile at the best
joke in the world for a nickel. He
stamps about in the yard grinding
on chew of strong tobacco,
squirting the juice about like 4
steam mill escape pipe, which lets
out both steam and water at the
same time. He has sleepy
appearance, never says anything
only when you say something to
him, and then he grunts out a
reply with such apparent su'kiness
that you are led to believe that he
begrudges the breath it takes. So
most people let him severely alone,
and turn their faces toward fairer
chimes.
Always among the crowd is the
little bantam strutting about. He
is just about as big an ienoramus
as you can start; always talking,
but saying nothing that is worth
hearing. Although he never talked
with but one or two girls, he thinks
that he simply can't be beaten. He,
too, stands around squirting tobacco
juice and saying, as he thinks, witty
things, until person IS fairly dis
gusted and compelled to go else
where.
Ever and anon you may see a
widower or bachelor stepping
about. With one eye he surveys
sky and with the other he scans the
sigh Ell remembrance OF the flew
who have frightened his pathway
of PAIN
Rap, rap, rap! sounds the teach
er's cane on the side of the house.
The crowd starts for the house, is
soon in, and the singing commences.
Of course, there are some who dc
not sing, and SO they just listen.
Seated IN conspicuous place in
the house is the smart fellow. He
knows a little about history, has
read few literary books, maybe a
dozen short poems, and irnagines he
knows it all. He thinks he can
court. although he never conversed
with but two Or three girls, and
they showed him that respect fol
PHYS sake. He sits there and
fixes his gaze toward the loft, try
ing to look through infinite space
But in neighborhood where peo
pie know very little about history
or literature, and care less, is no
apt to see many admiring glance:
fixed on him when he relaxes hi
hold on drought to find whether
the people are watching hin.

THE ROBINS CALL.

You may read it May on the calen-
dar,
You may fix your heart on spring,
But until you hear the robins song
You will find it's no such thingl
For he's sure just when the snow
flies,
And he knows springs secrets all.
You may be quite sure It's May-time
When you hear the robin call!
They'll tell you the winters ended
You will hear it everywhere
Just for little sunshine
And breath of April air,
But you may. be sure of one thing;
AS sure as that rain will fall,
1t is really, truly springtime
When you hear the robin call!

1t is significant that all State

Protective tariff is robbery and

All combines or trusts are SIM
