THE PENALTY OF MUSIC.
Players who Are Forced to Quit de-
cause of Denfnesa

"Few realize how many musicians
are obliged to go out of the business
on account of Deafness" said an old
musician to a reporter. only a few Of
the thousands Of players In the coun-
try become famous. The great mass
OF them plod along day after dag In the
same old path. When one OF us drops
out, no one cares 10 inquire why. but
many times the reason Is deafness and
nothing else.
Loss of hearing Is particularly the
afiiction OF those who play brass in
struments. A cornetist who has play
ed In Kansas City orchestras for many
years has stopped playing now be-
cause he Is losing his faculty of hear
ing. He went out Of the business be-
fore It was too late. Many Of the old
players hang to their instruments until
the loudest strains Of an orchestra or
clamor OF a band sounds to them like a
mere hum. Then they are forced to
stop. Their usefulness Is gone.
'"The musicians deafness Is undoubt-
eddy caused by the injurious effects OF
the constant vibration Of musical notes
upon the delicate machinery or the ear.
A q who blows a cornet or a from
bone or a horn Of any kind for several
hours will notice a queer buzzing in his
ears. When the playing Is kept up ev-
cry day In the week and every week in
the year for a long number Of years,
It's no wonder that deafness comes.
Some musicians play without effort.
nNL>t, .y..If L.. , uv.~- ,~..n 1.,k
music as free O. breath. But the skill
Of others Is acquired only by hard and
constant labor. In addition to their
regular playing in band or orchestra
they must practice industriously eve
al hours every day. And these are the
les who lose their hearing and drop
out of sight unnoticed."-Kansas City
Star.

A Warning to borrowers.

A a who was too economical to
take this paper sen his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over a 81
stand Of bees and in ten minutes look
ed like a warty summer squash. HIS
cries reached his father, who ran to
his assistance and. failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting a handful of
flesh from his anatomy and running q
81 pair Of pants. The old cow took ad-
vantage Of the gap in the fence and
got into the cornfeld and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the racket,
the wife ran, upset a four gallon churn
full of rich cream into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped a 81 set Of false
teeth. The baby. left alone. crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor. running a brand new $50 car
pet. During the excitement the Oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man,
the dog broke up IL setting hens, and
the calves got out and chewed the tails
of four fac rts.-Kansas City Jour.

A Famous Kentucky Hotel.

The Phoenix hotel is in Il sense the
oldest hotel in the whole western coun-
try, for it has. with varying changes,
continued to exist ever since the year
1900. 1t was here that Aaron Burr
lodged in 1906 while engaged in his
daring conspiracy to make himself the
head of Il new empire and was here
met and welcomed by Herman Hen-
nerhassett, the cultured but unfortu-
nate Irishman he had so completely
fascinated. Here, as far back as JET.
ferson's administration, Democrats and
Federalists, in knee buckled breeches,
ruffied shirts and dangling cues. talked
redhot politics. 1t was the scene of a
sumptuous dinner to Lafayette, and
later was the stopping place of the
willy Mexican chieftain General Santa
Anna. During the civil war, while
Lexington was held by the Confeder-
ates, it was the headquarters of Gener,
ais Bragg and Kirby Smith and before
the struggle ended sheltered General
Grant. President Arthur has also beer

The HIafnrY Of Grin.

The history OF grip" or Influenza,
can only be traced back, with any GER
tainty, for 800 years. Perhaps Its home
Is N Ru,sia. II retains certain broad
characteristics which make II recog-
nizablc even under such odd names as
the gentle correction" and the new
delight" A curious description of Ii
under the name OF 'coqueluehe" Is
found in the diary Of Pierre de LES
tolle In the time of Henry III Of
France, as follows:
"The c%oqueluchc at Paris, year 1880.
From the 2d day to the 9Th day Of
June there fell sick at Paris 10000
persons of an illness having the form
of a rhcum or catarrh. which they call
the 'coqueluche.' This illness seizes
you with a pain In the head. stomach
and lolns and a lassitude throughout
the body, and 1t prosecuted the whole
kingdom OF France while the year last
cd, so that once having come hardly
anybody In a town or village or house
escaped.
"Thc best remedy the doctors found
was to make the sick abstain from
wine. TO some they ordered bleeding
and rhubarb. for others cassia. and
finally they found It best to keep the
sick in bed and ALLOW them little to eat
and drink. They say at Paris that OF
this 'co1ueluche' there were dead at
Rome, in less than three months, more
than 10000 persons"

HE Q NO MONEY.
An incident In the BOyhOOd Life of
Louis Kill of France.

Louis ALL OF france.
One day, when the dauphin. after
ward Louis XIII. was 5 years old, the
Duke of Sully came out to st. German
well supplied from the treasury with
pocket money for the dauphin, says
Mrs. Lucy Crump in The Atlantic. The
set the whole household astir, eager
for a share in the expected spoil. Nine.
de Monglat hurried the dauphin into
the great courtyard Of the castle to r.
ceive Sully with as much honor as if
he had been the king himself. To
please the great man the little prince
put his enfants d'honneur and other
attendants through a drill with their
toy %arQuebuses and swords.
At the end of the show M. de Sully
gave the dauphin so crowns, which his
mock soldiers seized out Of his hands
SO quickly that he had scarce time even
to feel them. At last but one piece re-
NAMED. which he held fast hold Of in
spite Of the efforts Of Nine. de Mon
glat's tailor to get it from him. He
he-he's trying to take it from mel"
shouted the child.
Nine. de Monglat took 1t, gathered
together all the rest Of the coins from
the reluctant hands Of their possessors
and kept them all. The dauphin did
not complain. but oon after he said,
But l, too, was a soldier, and l didn't
get any money"
Herouard always maintained that n
certain reluctance to both spend and
give, which characterized Louis in lat
er years, was the direct result of Nine.
de Monglat's teaching and example.
