many prominent musicians were pres

field.

of music in Southern California, gave II
talk in which he pointed out the con-
ditions in the musical circles in Los
Angeles, declaring that there is no one
spot in the land where there are so
many talented musicians gathered.
Mr.. Behymer said that the people of
Los Angeles do not appreciate the
musicians and that many of the
wealthy people of the city will take
the inferior musicians because they do
not know what quality is.
"They seek for what they can get
most of for the least money" said he.
Mr.. Behymer also told many interest
ing stories about his work as con-
cert manager, and before the evening

He must spend nine dollars in living

Let silence stop h lit and tr1l

70 before It came to pass. Aunt Saran
Hicks, relict Of Barnaby Hicks. had
received . letter to the effect that her
sister In California Wa dead. and that
her sisters only child was coming
East to live with her. The child" as
she went on to explain, was q boy OF
eighteen and . born idiot.

A few days later Aunt Sarah's
nephew arrived. He was In charge OF

his being IN idiot. He was led
through the village by the hand like
. tWo-yearold child, and It was evil
dent that his intelligence was Of the
lowest order. For three or four days
the town was a. much excited ~ II
Q circus had come, and It was not
until the last citizen had had . square

to wane. Some Of the people were
inclined to criticize Aunt Sarah tor
bringing . fool to town." - they ex-
pressed It, while others contended
that It would make Rawsonville talked
about and perhaps increase business
and the price Of real estate. The
three doctors In town had called and
looked Jimmy over and agreed that
he hadn't the brains Of . rabbit. and
the boy had thrown stones at every
other boy In the place. and things
had begun to settle down when Dea-
con HARNESS opened q crusade. He
called on Aunt Sarah one day and
said:
''I've been thinking the matter over.
and I've come to ask you what you
are going to do in q religious way for
that boy?"
what are you doing in a religious
way for your plow-handles?" asked
the widow In reply.
"Hain't that purity near sacrilege?'
Not within forty rods Of It. That
boy 10 . born fool. l might just ~
well throw him down the well a. to
try to beat religion into his head"
But It would be q great comfort
to him."
Yes. It would be . great comfort
to him to be President Of the Crited
States. but he'll have to get along
without. II the Lord was satisfied to
make him % he IL. then it's not for

BY saying she'd think It over, and she
thought that would be the last Of It.
It wasn't however. Deacon Harness
