IT IS THE DREAM
OF A NEW YORK
MILLIONAIRE

tire enterprise and it's success is owing
to us generosity.
However this may be, it is certain
that the purpose of the New York mill
honaire is to continue the work of in
teresting the people of Richfield in Sc
curing musical educations and to make
it possible for them to become pro-
ficient in the charming art He hopes
to make the place an object lesson for
other communities and it is reasonable
to believe that he holds the opinion
that other wealthy people will emu
late his example.
Tho Benefcent Eject of Such Work
would certainly be inestimable. Music
is always refining and elevatiEg. A
man or a woman who can play an in
strument well is sure of social recog-
milton wherever he or she may be. A
musical education aids one in enter
tanning and in making the home life
pleasant Many shadows would be dis
PEELED from the households of the
country if the father, or mother, or
both of them could play some musical
instrument Dizziness, awkwardness,
coarseness and ignorance will speed
from the charms of music like the
brooding spirit of darkness from the
breaking sunlight. Music softens the
passions and improves the intellect
1t inspires courage and makes human
ity better and nobler in every way. 1t
brings quiet to the restless, joy to the
sorrowing, comfort to the lonely and
energy to the slothful. 1t is the in
spiration of youth and the solace of
age. 1t is one of the golden keys which
often un1ocks the door of the citadel
of success. 1t was Schwabs musical
ability, as well as his mechanical abil-
ity which first attracted the attention
OF Carnegie.
The plan successfully started by TIE
modest millionaire at Richfield Springs
should be inaugurated in every COM
munity. in this country. The wealthy
could not spend their extra dollars in
better cause. The people would take
kindly to the scheme. In few years
we would be a nation of musicians and
there would be far less of rudeness,
misery and depravity. Musical asso-
Citations should be formed in every
place on the lines of the one now or
ganized in Richfield. Competent in
structors should be secured and mem
bers of both sexes included in the
membership. Politeness, and refine
ment in speech and action will follow
as the associations continue.

Totals .227, 1896 "a, 07S
This table is strikingly suggestive
of the rapidity and extent to which
merit alone has forced recognition of
very wonderful field crop. AS will be
noted, the total acreage of the twenty
six counties in 1891 does not greatly
exceed that of the one county of Jewell
in 1901, and the combined acreage OF
the two counties of Jewell and Butler
in 1901 is greater by over 5000 acres
than the entire states alfalfa area
in 1891. 1t is difficult to comprehend
adequately the magnitude of the in
crease, and, however prodigious it may
appear so expressed, it is fact that

HIS BLUFF DID NOT WORK.

Stories of yankee shrewdness nave
always been widely circulated, but
when one gets ahead of a yankee there
is very little said about it, especially
on the part of the man from the North.
Several days ago a hotelkeeper at
small station on one of the roads rum
a drummer from the North in very
good way, and the travelling man was
compelled to beat hasty retreat. The
drummer arrived at the hotel about
S o'clock in the evening, and fearing
that he would not be able to get any
supper he asked the landlord what he
corld get to eat.
MY friend" said the hotelkeeper,
81 can give you anything from
picked elephant to a broiled canary
birds tongue for supper tonight"
The drummer looked at the man,
ana, thinking that he was testing, de-
cided to call his bluff.
"All right, my friend" said the
drummer; I'm take some picked ele-
phant-''
Very WELL" said the host, .I'll go
and get it,
He was gone about five minutes
and when he returned said:
"All right, sir; supper will be ready
In moment. You'll have to take a
whole one, as we don't carve them
after dark"
The drummer decided that he was
not very hungry and took some cheese
andwiches.-Memphis Scimitar

MAN WHO TOOK ALL.

Evening Post relates his experience at
a dinner recently in company with Ar

We were rapidly losing ourselves in
a fog of politics and natural psychol-

his red mustache and said: That's

For a dollar day that was pretty

strawberries round. When it came to
