The Navy Had to Wait.

The navy k1au TO "0lt.
The house committee on naval af-
fairs was in session. AS the members
were considering important matters the
discussion was more or less heated.
The day was warm, and the windows
which look out on the white marble
walls of the court of the capitol were
| wide open. Mr.. Kitchin was giving his
views when the strains of 60 Way
Back and Sit Down" by a steam cal
liope found their way into the room.
Mr.. Mudd arose from his scat, took his
hat from the rack and departed from
the room. The music seemed to be
getting nearer, and Mr.. Wheeler fol-
lowed Mr.. Mudd. Mr.. Dayton next dis
covered that Kitchin was not saying
anything that interested him, and he
closed the door of the committee room
from the outside. Mr.. Loudenslager
and Mr.. Bull held a whispered conver-
sation and smiled detiantly at Chair
| man Foss rs they made tracks in the
direction of the circus parade. So the
members of the committee faded away
until Mr.. Kitchin was talking to q sim
gle auditor, Mr.. Foss.
"Mr. Chairman" said Mr.. Kitchin,
| suddenly breaking off from his argyll
ment, that circus parade must be a
pretty good one or else the committee
would have remained to listen to my
remarks. 1 move that the committee
postpone consideration of the needs of
the navy until the circus leaves town"
Mr.. Foss declared the motion carried
and then he and Mr.. Kitchin hurried
out to see the elephants march by

BE Careful.

BE careful to use good grammar Cnl
of the most common @rammatic errors
in the United States is "hc don't" Pco
pie vino would not dream OF letting
such an absurdity as he do cross
their lips seize every occasion to de
clare that he don't" without appar
emily the least idea that they are Of
Tending against the laws of the Ian
guage. 1t is very nearly as easy to say
''he doesn't''-one would not he so un
reasonable as to look for complete
"he does not in this age of scuttle and
rush-and the grammatical integrity
of the phrase ought to compensate fol
the labor of an extra syllable.
The next in frequency-eNceptine
"ain't" instead of isn't-seems to be
"those sort of things" evidently found
ed on hazy idea that those is
under the influence of the plural
things" rather than of the strictly sin,
gle sort" When that sort of things
and "he doesn't" are restored to thei1
rights in common speech, the words OF
our mouth will be very ml!ch more ac.

The Youn- Drummer.

Ihc OGEsS Drummer.
Although he IS not higher than bass
drum. little Mulculm Eobb Gerlach of
Allegheny. Pa. who is but five years
old, plays tie bass and while he is do
ing that plays either Il snare or kettle
drum, just as the occasion demands
The youngstcr is said to be one of the
cleverast little musicians that has ever
been seen.
the little wonder is the son of An
drew Gerlach, who for many years was
manager Of the Great Western band in
the hcyday of that organization. Mr..
Gerlach is now Il hotel proprietor in
Allegheny. Long ago his parents named
the youthful wonder Honey" and this
has dwinded to the abbreviated form
of Hon" and all his friends know him
by that name.
Two years ago the youngster began
playing on a toy drum, but one year
ago Malcolm began following his elder
brothers in their rehearsals Of orches-
tration. The elder brothers. two in
number are skilled musicians.
The boys saw that their baby brother
was apt, and they taught him some
notes, and in six months the youngster
could play the trap drum in all of the
standard orcheStratiOns. But he did
not stop there. When the elder boys
get new music, Malcolm gets his score
too.
He has now acquired the art of read
ing. and he follows the score us per-
fcct,y rs any trap drummer could. Sci
| dom does ne make Il mistake. No mat
ter how difficult the music or how fast
it has to be played, the young drummer
| is equal to the occasion.
He is too small to sit and play. but
he leans against chair and with his
right foot on the bass drum pedal and
| the drum sticks in his hands he watch
es his score and his brother Eugene
until the sign to start is given. Then
he applies himself intently to his wOrn
and his eye never leaves his music un.

Snow and Hail.

Why water should sometimes fall as
soft snow crystals and at others in
hard Jumps of icy hail is n question of
interest The difference is entirely one
of time. Snow crystals are formed very
slowly, the frozen atoms Of water
grouping themselves with mathematic-
al precision around different centers.
Hail, which generally falls in warmer
weather. is rain frozen suddenly by q
sharp drop Of temperature in the upper
air. Wind nearly always accompanies

"The County Fair" Tuesday.

In these days when the most popular
novelties have to be shelved after one
or two years on the stage, play that
runs through g, dozen years is some
thing to be regarded with admiration.
Such a play is the County Fair. Many
flippant jokes have been passed on the
"haysced drama" but it would be hard
to pick ont any class of entertainment
more wholesome and palatable. The
County Fair which appears at the
Opera House on Tuesday Nov. 10, is
frightened up with a lot of new songs
and clever specialties. A very effective
feature is the series of moving pictures,
representing the opening parade at the
County Fair in Burlington, VT, making
an attractive feature melting neatly in
to the fair scene of the play itself The
sale opens this morning at 10 o'clock.
