TON FROM SIDNEY, OHIO
MUSICIAN.
Applying for the Position Of Director
and Leader Of the Flfty-Fourth Regl.
r,ental Band - Gives Excellent Ref
ereNees.

An application for the position OF
leader and director Of the Fifty-fourth
regiment band has been received In
this city by T. j.. Phillips from B. O.
Worrell, the present director and man.
ager OF Reeds Peerless band and OF.
chestra Of Sidney, Ohio. In the appli.
cation Is enclosed excellent references
and a statement regarding tho ability
Of the applicant. Mr.. Phillips has
taken the matter up with the members
of the band and thus far has met with
encouragement from those most CON.
cerned. Asspecial meeting will be held
In the near future to decide concern.
Ing the engagement OF Mr. Worrell.
TO the many people who enjoyed the
open air concerts given last summer
by the F~iftyfourth regiment band the
result OF the coming meeting will be Of
much interest. The condition OF the
band, perhaps. can be 'bettered q large
per cent II 1t secures the services Of q
musician who can spend his entire time
looking after its interests. And concern.l
ing the weekly concerts, It is almost
certain. without the leadership Of -.
competent musician, these would lack
much interest. The Fifty-fourth
regiment band has long been the pride
of many Ottumwans, and for It to go
without a director would doubtless
prove Ill.
The Work Of r. J. Phillips.
It has been largely through the Sun.
firing efforts of T. J.. Phillips that the
summer concerts have been made pos,
sible. His work Of soliciting funds and
otherwise assisting the band has been
productive Of much good.
Should the members OF the band de.
eide to secure the services Of the Ohio
musician, MI. Phillips can be counted
on to do his part In looking after the
financial end Of the arrangement.
Mr.. WorreIFs Letter.
A part Of the application Of b. o.
Worrell Ia as follows:
Il have been corresponding with n.
w. Harper of the Nfty-fourth regiment
band In reference to my possible loca.
ton In your city. He has given me
considerable encouragement and ad.
vised. me to write you concerning the

Harper there is an opportunity for q
mar who can bring the band up to
such a standard Of excellence that, 1t
Will be an advertisement and source
of pride to the city OF Ottumwa. I
claim to have the ability and other
necessary qualities to obtain this re.
suit, and I base my claims on what I
have achieved as a result Of my work
with the band Of this place. From a
small quick-step band when took
charge, we have a large concert
organization which takes first place In
ali the surrounding cities Of from nve
to ten times the size OF Sidney"
Mr.. Worrell gives excellent refer

School Notes.

The results from the Seventh
and Eighth grade final examina-
tons, Thursday and Friday of
last week. showed careful prep
aration on the part of the stu
dents and instruction Of a higher
order on the part of the teacher.
In arithmetic, a goodly number
received 100 per cent and the
rest of the class did not fall be-
low IS per cent; in grammar, the
results were even more glorious
and successful than arithmetic.
AL the Seventh and Eighth
grades passed grammar with
high standings, but the Seventh
grade has broken the record for
good work by passing up the
grammar one year ahead Of it's
grade. This speaks well for the
Seventh, whichis destined to be-
come a banner grade.
Results is what counts in the
final estimation of the terms
work and not ostentatious dis.
play and spurious standings.
The price of success is industry
and the reward Of effort, achieve
ment. Men who fail in life may
attribute it to mental, moral, or
spiritual idleness and laziness.
Someone has said:
"work, work, my boy, be not afraid;
Look labor boldly In the face.
Take up the hammer or the spade
And blush not for thy humble place."

BEATRlcE's SCHOOLING
BY Pearl Eddy-Ase is Years-cIass B

BY Pearl Eddy-Age is Years-cIass B
Mother, do you suppose 1 can ever
go to school again?" was an anxious
question that came from bright-eyed
girl of fourteen. Her mother was silent
and as Beatrice turned around she saw
tears in her mothers eyes.
II couldn't say, my child" she replied
with a quivering voice; 1--WE will only
hope that you may"
Beatrice had never been to school
since she was promoted from the third
grade. She was obliged to stay at home
to help with the housework and to care
for the younger children. Her mother
now had dried her tears, and continued:
1T seems as If we have had nothing
but misfortunes ever since Harvey
broke his arm, then Mabel had scarlet
fever and those cases brought large
doctor bills, and within few months
little Archie was crippled and father
has had such poor health, while the rest
Of" just then the door bell rang, so
she left the room to see who was wait
ing.
Beatrice started at her work again
washing the breakfast dishes while she
wondered if she might get work some
where. If it wasn't much pay it GER
tainly would help a little. Her mother
returned and said it was just a man
looking at the house and the surround
ings. Beatrice told her mother of her
idea of working, so Beatrice looked for
work in the afternoon and secured a
place in factory.
She worked week after week and
everything seemed to run quite smooth
ly at home. One evening when she he
turned from work she noticed differ
ent expression of her fathers face. He
| looked pleasant as if something had
made him happy. He said he would
tell them at the supper table what II
was. Supper was ready in shorter time
tonight as they were all anxious to
know. After they were seated he be-
gan:

and in good location. think 1t quite
bargain and good opportunity If you
agree, and besides he has offered me a
fine position with more salary than 1
am getting now. Now, mother, what do
you say?" he added
"A fine bargain and one that pleases
me very much, and I'm sure the chill
dren as WE'LL" she replied.
"Oh. yes" came a chorus from the
children. So they packed and moved
settled in their new home. How much
they enjoyed it! Mother was busy sew
ing for the children, making clothes
better than they ever had before, be-
cause school was to commence in a few
weeks.
On the morning school began all the
children were there. Beatrice was the
largest in the fourth grade. The others
made fun of her and called her stupid,
but she soon showed them she was
very studious, for she soon became head
of the class. In a few years she had
finished grammar school. Her father
now said she might continue her school
ing. She went to many colleges and
was well liked among the students.
She was invited to parties and recep-
tions, and soon became a favorite
among her classmates. Before many
years she received diploma for teach
ing. She taught in a large city, her
pupils all loved her. for she taught
them so well, always was kind, shared
their troubles, remembering she had
troubles too when she was their age.

OUR MockING BIRD
BY Ruth kennedy-Aee IS Years.
Class c

Late one afternoon a little boy
named Kenneth came running into the
house with young mocking bird that
evidently had fallen from it's nest in
it's first efforts to fly. What could we
do with it? We found its nest way up
in the top of a pepper tree several
doors away. 1t would not have been an
easy task to return it to it's nest and
though little boy kindly offered to
climb up and put birdie back, we were
afraid it might fall out again when
there was no kind hand to rescue it, so
we decided to keep it over night any
way.
Our next thought and the one that
caused us the most anxiety was what
to feed it. One suggested one thing
and one another. But auntie had cut
from a paper little piece telling how
to care for motherless doves, so we
got a medicine dropper and gave it
just few drops of fresh milk
The next morning we gave it a little
more milk with few bread crumbs
softened in it. Then some one told us
that If we put it in cage out of doors
the mother bird would come and feed
it, We did not have a cage, so we put
some Stats on box and put it ON the
porch. Sure enough in little while
we saw the mother futtering around
in the pepper tree and calling It, We
took the little one and put it on a
plum tree branch just outside the win
dow. Then we took turns all day
watching it to see that no harm came
to it.
Several times, on hopping from one
branch to another it lost it's footing
and fiuttered to the lawn. 1t was in
teresting to watch it. 1t would run
few steps, then raise it's wings as if
trying them. But we put it in the tree
again and the mother bird staid near
and fed it, but all the time she was
coaxing it to fly to the pepper tree.
For three nights we kept the bird in
the house and in the morning put it in
the tree for the mother to feed. The
lOui III iilOi hiliS VIC put IL III ldl6C
pepper tree, thinking it waa now strong
enough to care for itself. In few
minutes it had hoped to the very top
branch of the tree, and the next morn
ing it had flown across the street. We
could hear it chirp but thought our little
bird would never come back, but what
was our surprise one afternoon when
we were all sitting on the porch to see
the little bird with it's mother and an
other little bird that must have been
its brother fly into tree near us.
After staying while off they flew
again. OF course the mother bird was
teaching her little ones to fly, but it did
seems as if she came to show us that
the little bird we saved was all right
and we were glad. We think it is
singer because its wings and tail have
white in them. We are glad to have
so many trees because they bring the
birds to us.

of burning, but grew perfectly color
less and lifeless. 1t was only when
they were in the CRATE that the Goals
seemed to be on fire.
Then the lieutenant of the house COB
Inns smiled horribly again and kept
on gobbling porridge.
You seem hard to suit" said he.
"Alas!" sighed the old leader of the
town goblins, fires are not what they
used to be-"
would be better" said the lieutenant
suavely. The town goblins, very much
subdued in their manner, went wearily
through all the houses, but though
there were plenty of fires-great num-
bers of glowing Goals and burning logs
which delighted the eye-when they
came to touch or taste these delicacies
they found them all alike-cold, cheer
less and even colorless.
In the meanwhile the house goblins
were becoming more and more trium-
phant and stuffing themselves with por-
ridge every moment OF the time.
1.-The town goblins will soon be gone
now" declared the lieutenant of the
house goblins to the leader, land we
will have it all to ourselves. I did it
with my diplomacy
Diplomacy, diplomacy.
There's nothing like diplomacy"
The lieutenant of the house goblins
was so pleased with his triumph that
he could not help showing it by singing
aloud this little song.
And they never guessed" he said,
with chuckle, that there was all the
fire they wanted in the cellars. They
thought these imitation fires were all
we had"
But, alas, for the lieutenant of house
goblins. He rejoiced too soon. He had
far better have waited until the town
gobllns were really gone.
For, if you please, the old town COB
lin leader had heard him singing about
Diplomacy" and although he didn't
hear all the rest that he said. he sus-

could see it from the street or from
upstairs, was a beautiful and very large
furnace filled with a vast quantity OF
hot Goals that were just exactly the
size to fit the goblins mouths.
They preferred big stove coal. Pea
coal and chestnut coal were really too
small to be comfortable.
The olds leader of the town goblins
felt a moments doubt of the Goals. o
His experience had been such that
you couldn't blame him, but his fol-
lowers felt none. They had pulled their
napkins out of their napkin rings and
had even started to pick up the Goals
before the old leader would take any.
But when he saw how his followers
gobbled them, didn't he plunge in and
get both hands full at one time? He
surely did.
They were the hottest Goals they had
ever tasted. Perfectly delicious!
After they had all had three courses
OF Goals all around the old leader
paused moment and said to the lieu
tenant of house goblins: "How can
you eat porridge, this is so much bet
ter?" But the lieutenant of house COB
Inns only said: $50, now you'll never
eat porridge."
"Porridge!" cried the town goblins
scornfully. "Porridge! Mercy, no."
Not even when there are strikes and
the factories and the mills are closed
| down." said the old leader of the town
goblins, "that u.s.. so long as youflet US
in to get plenty of hot GOALS .--
There, now. you see I. managed that.
Diplomacy diplomacy" said the lieu
tenant of house goblns.
But we could have done this in the
first place." grumbled his leader. Il
wanted to let them in"
IT never saw such ingratitude,"
shrieked the lieutenant. Isn't it much
better to use diplomacy when you get
what you want after @all?" He was
very angry and nothing would console
him but a whole field of porridge of his

But the town goblins said, nothing

pected that the lieutenant of house
goblins was concealing something.
And so, what does the old leader of
house goblins do but clear his throat
and make a speech to his followers.
He thought he knew how to get the
best of the clever lieutenant of house
goblins.
Town goblins," said he, grandly,
1--WE have been unable to find Goals.
coal famine is abroad, and we are
starving. Our kind brothers, the house
goblins, have admitted US to their
kingdom, but we have found nothing
but cold Goals and imitation embers.
Only one thing is left for us to do We
must become used to change of diet.
We must learn to subsist on other
things than hot Goals. Cold Goals are
indigestible, so they won't do. But we
see that our friends look well fed on
porridge. We. too, must learn to eat
porridge."
Oh. then, how miserable the lieuten-
ant of house goblins felt! His leader
reproached him bitterly for causing so
much trouble, and so did all the other
house goblins, because, although there
was plenty of porridge in the world for
every one, they were so greedy that
they wanted it all for themselves.
Neither were the town goblins quite
content for, after all, if you have al
ways lived on hot Goals you will find
porridge just little bit flavorless The
wise old town goblin who was their
leader said not a word, however, but
waited, and waited. and waited, while
all his own followers and all the house
goblins buzzed and buzzed.
And, after all, the lieutenant of house
goblins proved that he did know some-
thing about it. For what did he do
but jump up directly and call every
body to order. Come" said he, you
need not give up your old diet, for way
down in the cellar 1 will show you all
the hot Goals you want
Then. if you please, all the town
goblins followed him into the cellar

AS punishment he would at least
be kept in all day-the day of the jan

minutes later, as he strobe angrlly INTO

break a little toy vase and hide the

Soon Mrs. Andrews entered the par

Hazel had broken it. Mrs. Andrews

his mother, leaving Hazel in fearful
