There was never any mistaking the
fact when Henry Jesup was in the
house. His tongue wagged from the
moment he crossed the threshold until
he was well started down the street
on his way home. Some persons hold
that it never did stop wagging- They
insisted that he talked to himself when
he had nobody else to talk to, and
that he could be heard mumbling in
coherent phrases even In his sleep
But these persons were mostly bab-
bling autocrais themselves, who were
utterly outclassed and unable to get in
a word of their own when Jesup was
around Consequently their opinion
was somewhat p~reJudiced-
Now that he had just returned from
a three years sojourn in THE Klondfke,

compositions have enjoyed little popu-
lar ia in America, though their
excellence has been acknowledged and
ParSifal will be an experiment here.
The belief is held by Wagner's admir-
erS that his music will obtain a fair
hearing henceforth from American
critics and that the outcome will be
it's more cordial reception. Wagner
was the reformer of music. His great
triumph came in 1876. He had all
along been aiming at reform in music.
He believed the whole school of con-
cePtiOn and expression to be wrong. In
the Niebelungen Ring his theories first
found expression, and the opera was
given by Bayreuth for the first time in
1876 BE declared that the French and
Italian schools of opera were wrong.
He c~Ontended that the theme should
be poetic in the deepest, purest sense
that the poetry should be married to
fitting music, and that the whole
should be associated with the sympa-
thieS and convictions of humanity
Hence he took his themes from TO
nance, legend and popular myths.
Wagner was a copious writer. He
collected works along various lines
and they abound in vigorous, ingen
iOus, original ideas. He wrote many
overtureS, songs, marches. poems, etc
But it was years before his style me
with acceptance outside of Germany
In America he was ridiculed by many
but eventually he had admirers mum
erOuS and influential. He wrote thu
grand march for the American centen
NAL in 1876. His pieces will neve
become popular except in fragments
because of the skill required in thei
execution on the piano.
The wife of Wagner was a daughte
of I-iSzt- They lived at Bayreuth' un
til his death in 1888.

A Born Gambler.

Bourke Cochran has a pious neigh
Dor with a 15-year-old son who does
not promise to be exactly "a chip off
the old block" this little incident lead
ing him to that conclusion: Not long
ago the father discovered to his sor-
row that his boy and several others of
the neighborhood had a habit of match
ing nickels. The wrathful parent led
the erring lad to the ti~me-honored at
tic where hangs a certain strap. The
boy didn't have any agreeable impress
sion of what was to come, but on the
theory that it is only the first plunge
that counts, he called out:

for two lickings or none!"

There are two ways of looking at adj
vertising, both of them right. Adver-
Using should be done during the dull
time for the purpose of stirring up
trade at that time and also for the
sake of the benefit which will come
from being continually before the pub
lie eye
A man should just as quickly think
of stopping his advertisements in the
summer or in the dull time after the
holidays as he should think of closing
up his store several months in the year
and keeping it open only when trade
would keep him busy.
l. 1T does not take people very long to
forget things, and if a store were
closed up four months or the advertis-
ing stopped four months a great many
people would have forgotten that the
business was in existence. The other
view of advertising is that it ought to
be pushed during the busy time, when
the people are ready to buy.
Advertising cannot be expected to
sell goods when people don't want
them, and it will be naturally most
effective when it gives publicity to
some desirable article at just the right
time To be sure, advertising will sell
anything at any time If the price be
made low enough and the advertise
ment sufficiently attractive. Some lines
of goods can be forced, and some can.
not, but even those which cannot be
forced should not be allowed to droI
out of sight.
Keep up your advertising during the
summer, and you will not only profit
by it in the fall, but your summer
sales will also show a fine Increase

WHISPER OF THE CORN.

Have you lain beneath the cottonwood
and drunk the charmed air
In some quiet country corner on a
grand, fresh August morn,
While the tinkle of the distant bells
made mellow music rare
And heard the tall sheaths stirring in
the whisper of the corn?
Have you felt the inspiration of the
meadow lark's clear note
AS it flung a care free anthem from
some height beyond our bourne,
While the rudy god, Olympus, set his
million beams afloat,
Till we almost saw the spirits as they
whispered in the corn7
Did you ever in the great world have a
dream so sweet and pure,
Such a vision in the cloudland with not
one dark dread forlorn-
Where the future was all glowing, like
the sunrise on the moor,
And your blood ran fast with fancy al
the whisper of the corn?
We can well-nigh see the landscape Of
the days of long ago,
Wondrous near the quaint old farm,
house and our hopes that met No
Though the lamp of life be fading ano
the light is turned down low,
Mem'ries thrill us as we listen to the
whisper of the corn.

The physicians Of ancient times,
who were pretty acute observers and
knew more than some of their scien-
tifc successors of the present day are
wont to believe, placed a good deal
of reliance on the indications of dis
ease which are furnished by the
tongue. Even yet an inspection or
the tongue is one of the routine prac-
tees of the physician in his PROBES
sional visits. The tongue not only
tells of the condition of the stomach
and digestive organs. but also gives
much valuable information regarding
the state of the blood and of the ner-
vous system.
In simple indigestion due to want
of tone in the stomach II intestlnes
the tongue is broad and iabby, the
sides showing indentations from pres
sure against the teeth; the surface is
covered with a thick white fur with
q yellowish or brownish tint
In chronic disorders of the stomach
and other digestive organs the tongue
is usually more or less dry and its sur
face has a glazed appearance, with a
patchy whitish or brown coating.
In irritable or inlammatory affec-
tons of the stomach the tongue Is
elongated, and pointed, dry, of a
bright red or a brown color, and its
surface is sometimes cracked or fur
rowed. The furrowed tongue is also
indicative in many cases of kidney dis
ease, or perhaps Of a state of irrita-
bility of the nervous system.
In feverish conditions the tongue Is
almost always coated and more or less
dry, the degree of dryness often in
creasing with time and the height OF
the fever.
r In protracted typhoid and typhus fe
, vers and other affections in which the
vital forces become greatly depressed
the tongue is covered with a brown oil
Z blackish fur, is dry and hard, anc
: the surface scanned with deep cracks
In scarlet fever one often sees the
strawberry tongue" the surface ap
pearing unnaturally red and dotted
with small elevations, after the clear
ing away of the white coat.

great weakness, of temporary nervous
excitement, of shaking palsy, and o
