placed among the stars by Zeus, al
the intercession of Apollo and the
MUSES.. Nor is he as handsome as he
was when, the god-like husband OF
Eurydice, he sought to win his wife
from death by musical sorcery.
He is shabby, and dirty, and out at
the elbow. His music Is the product,
not of lofty inspiration, but of per-
forated paper running over a revolv-
ing cylinder, or of some other means
equally commonplace. He works for
money nowadays, and not for love Of
his art, and he sends the larger part
of the proceeds Of his daily toll to his
kin across the sea. Once a fayorite Of
the gods, he has become, through
time and changes of fortune, an or
binary journeyman.
But he is no less Orpheus because
of this, as one cannot tail to realize
who follows him through the poorer
quarters of the city.
Yet here he appears, it must be
confessed, most like that lineal de-
scendant of his, the pied piper of
Hamelin, who, whittier he went, led
innocent and wide eyed children after
him.
BY mere turn of crank he can
change a dingy city street into fes-
tival. Where before there was silence
and comparative solitude, there is sud
denly a veritable childrens party.
Games and duties are laid aside, quar-
rels are forgotten, errands are post
poned, while groups of little children
gather around him, listening eagerly
to the music which he grinds out of
his wonderful box, that has such beau
tiful pictures upon its shiny side. II
there is no monkey to absorb atten-
tion by its antics and grimaces. the
little girls begin to dance together on
the sidewalk, initiating as well as they
can the fancy steps that they have
seen their older sisters take. Some
small bey in the crowd is inspired to
turn cartwheels in time to the music.

Has Played Many Historic Roles.

Many are the historic roles which
Calliopes son has performed since the
days of his supremacy in ancient
Thrace, when he had the honor Of
singing in praise of the gods, and Of
partaking in the Eleusinian mysteries.
AS blind Homer he made the Trojan
wars immortal; singing with the
tongues of the rhapsodists he fired the
soul of later Greece. In the guise of
Tyrtaeans he stirred up the Spartans
to rise in war against the Messen-
ians. In the character of drummer, or
trumpeter, of the Roman legionaries,
he shared in the military honors of the
imperial city.
The dark ages overthrow musicians
from the high estates to which earlier
civilizations had exalted them. For
centuries, especially in Germany, they

/ Filth an Opposition / Progress.
This calls 10 mind the southern
statesman who vigorously opposed all
measures of sanitary reform because
he believed that disease was the de-
fense the Creator had provided for his
people He argued that yellow fever
was a better protection against white
invasion than a stone wall built
around his country; that It were bet
ter for his people TO remain in the
filth of their surroundings and be un-
molested than to make themselves
clean and suffer white neighbors.
Such policy, IL followed out, would
certainly cause this fellow and his ad-
herents to be swept up with their rub
bish and disposed of as unceremoni-
ously as garbage is treated The march
of progress is too swift for its advance
to be checked by barrlcades of filth.
Odd Customs OF South America.
The South American lawmakers and
officials create many odd rules for the
government of their countrymen. The
matter Of passenger service on the
railway offers an instance. On one
line the distinction between first and
second class passengers is the wear
ing of shoes. No barefooted persons
are allowed In the best coaches. A
well dressed man, carrying a baby
boy, was made to ride in the second
class apartment because the infant
had no shoes on. He-wss told that he
could go first class. but tlfSe e9lld CO..

Another odd custom which is sup
posed to be distinctive Of gentlllty Is
the wearing of crayats. At any pub
lie functional least those intended
for the masses-the only men that are
turned away are those who have no
neckties. A man may have on white
shirt and collar, and patent leather
shoes, but the tie Is the badge OF re-
spectability without which none can
enter The matter Of taxes IS reduced
to a science. All beggars must pay a
tax for that privilege. All professional
men, such as engineers, dentist, doc
tors and teachers, can be distinguish
ed from the ordinary citizen because
they wear a ring on the first finger
Of the left hand. One OF the best
customs IN vogue, and one which
would work as great public convent

is the rule of allowing no more people
In a street car than can comfortably
be seated.
Much has been said Of the polite.

main they are deserving Of their repu-

Pine Beetle Being Exterminated.

peWisor Bullock states that the pine
beetle which has been doing so much
harm throughout the pine forest of the
Black Hills, is rapidly disappearing
Within the past two years a large red
bug has made its appearance which has
commenced devouring the eggs of the
beetle. Last year Not nearly as much
territory was devastated by the beetle
as the year previous. Captain Bullock
states that there will not be much work
done this year by them. In the vicinity
of Deadwood a numper of groves have
been devastated and this summer the
trees have become brown and are be-
ing cut down. The surest way to de-
stroy the beetle in any numbers is to
bark the trees in the early spring be-
fore the eggs hatch into the beetle
state Several hundred trees have been
treated this way in DeadWood and 1t
is believed that the havoc has been
stopped in this vicinity.
