Music for

"A movement has been started at
Richfield Springs, N. Y, which may
and certainly ought to become ma
tional and even world wide 1t in
wolves the great question of how to
spend money SO that it will do the
greatest good to the greatest number.
The originator of this movement is
Robert W. Taller, New York million
aire, who, with his talented family,
has spent the summers of several years
past at the famous watering resort Mr..
Taller makes no pretense of being a
publicity in connection with his many
generous acts The people of the
pretty central New York village, how
ever, affectionately style him
The Father of Richheld Sprays.
For a number of seasons he and his
accomplished wife led in movements
which would tend to aid the younger
residents of the village and much good
resulted. Associations were main
tanned in which young men were
taught in the different branches of ed
ucation and instructed in different
trades. Some of these are now skilled
mechanics and others hold responsible
positions in the business world.
The scope of this influence upon the
people generally was not broad enough
to satisfy Mr.. and Mrs. Taller, and they
determined to inaugurate something
that would reach farther Mrs. Taller
being a skilled musician and Mr.. Tail
er passionately fond of music. both
realize the refining and elevating
tendency of a musical education. Here
was the opportunity for which they
had been looking. They would make it
possible for every man and woman.
boy and girl in Richfeld Springs to be-
come proficient in playing some instru-
ment. The Richfield Springs Musical
Association was formed and Prof.
Frank Thompson. formerly of the Ma
rine Band at Washington, was secured
as instructor This was year ago.
Now the association has two brass
bands. one of twenty pieces, the other
of thirty-two, a marine drum corps in
orchestra of twenty instruments. Each
organization is now able to give con-
certs and the guests at the place, many
of whom are musical critics, pronounce
the renditions as exceptionally fine.
The members of the bands and the
drum corps have the finest instru-
ments obtainable and are the possess
ors of attractive uniforms. The Ia
dies orchestra has given number OF
musicales, which are patronized by the
social leaders. The association, in the
words of Mr.. Taller, is supported by
the people of Richfield, but the peopk
say that Mr.. Taller is back of the en-

A strange state of mind evidently
prevailed in Pekin during the Boxer
outrage outside the walls, outrages
which were momentarily expected to
be repeated within the city limits.
Everybody was preparing for a catas-
trophe, and nobody could be sure why.
1t all seemed like a huge practical
joke which could not be taken serious
ly, and yet it was serious, and every
body knew 1t was. There was appar-
ent peace, with a certainty of coming
trouble. The foreigners were gath

One incident curious1y shows the
combined lightness and frenzy of the
public mind. On a certain evening a
boy about 16 walked down a street,
marking a door here and there with
circle of white chalk, before which
he bowed solemnly.
Presently all the people came to their
doors in a great state of excitement
and began to discuss the proceeding
and to debate as to what it might
mean. The marked houses might be-
long to the friends or foes of the Box
ers, the saved or lost.
Suddenly man went up to the boy,
seized him by the pigtail and asked
him what he meant. The bystanders
were amazed at courage which dared
interfere with an emissary of the
Boxers, and the boy himself tried to
swagger a little and brazen it out.
What were you doing that for?'' in
qulred the man. "Ten, or take you

Then the boy fell on his knees and
owned that he was only doing it for a

JOHNNY ON BULLFRoGs.

The bullfrog is large, green, and
warty. He can jump several times his
own length. His voice is loud, but not
pleasing. The bull-frog is shy and
diffident. He builds his nest in damp,
swampy places where it is difficult to
track him. At the slightest alarm he
utters a low, plaintive note and i'm
mediately seeks refuge in the water.
He is a good diver, and can swim like
a fish, except that he does not wiggle.
but kicks. There was a frog once that
blowed himself full of air until he
busted like a paper sack. This shows
the folly of vanity and self-conceit. o.
my friends, let US endeavor not to act
in that manner, but to be good and
truthful. Let us remember that life is
short, and that we must always be up
and doing. Some people like bullfrogs
to eat, but I would rather have pie.

Secretary F. d. Coburn, of the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture has is
sued a bulletin on kansas and Her
Alfalfa" supplemented by a general
statement of the value of alfalfa as
crop in Kansas. Secretary Coburn
says:
1.-The past summer of diversified
weather has served admirably to en-
phasize the desirability of growing
alfalfa in the Middle West, and also
testified forcibly to its adaptability.
The wonderful performances this year
of this widely exploited plant have at
tracted attention anew to it's worth.
it having already yielded two. three
or four cuttings, and the stockman who
was possessed of even small acreage
is in an enviable situation. The in
telligent Kansas farmers, whose state
far and always leads all others in al
falfa production, are constantly bet
tering their condition and chances for
success by devoting larger areas to its
culture, as is conspicuously indicated
in official statistics compiled by the
state board of agriculture. For in
stance, the first official notice was
taken of alfalfa by the board in 1891.
when the total returned was 34,3S4
acres; this year it's field extends over
319, 900 acres, showing the phenomenal
increase in the ten years of over 1913
per cent.
Even when first considered of suf-
fisient Importance to be officially rec
ognized as belonging to Kansas rep
ertoire of crops, canvass of the re-
turns for that year (189D shows that,
with the three exceptions of Atchison,
Johnson and Miami, each county de-
voted more or less land to its growth.

acres; while the counties ranging be-
tween that number and 1000 acres
were Kearny, Chase, Cloud, Gray,
Lyon, Saline, Sedgwick and Wabaun-
see, and of those claiming an acreage
at all Linn was among the smallest,
having two acres. Now, while not the
foremost, Finney has 12,545, and Linn

as having none in 1891 have total
