Sees Harmony I'm the Dance.

DR.. G. Stanley Hall, of Clark uni
versity, Worcester, Mass, created a
sensation in his lecture before Tie
state teachers association by not only
declaring himself in favor Of dancing,
but going so far as to waltz gracefully
about the stage to demonstrate his
idea to his audience. Dr. Hall admits
that he Is more than GO years OF age.
Kansas teachers do not dance and they
resent the idea of teaching dancing
to their pupils. Dr. Halls remarks
were not applauded. He said: THE
basis of art Is rhythm and the basis
of rhythm Is God. | think that some
effort should be made to rescue dane
ing from its present environments and
faulty tendency. 1t is a high and no.
BILE art. 1t is one OF the expressions
of religion and as such has been util-
lied by the Greeks, the Hindoos and
other ancient races. There is nothing
more beautiful than the harmony-in-
spring dance. 1t trains the persons
body into q harmonious relationship.
Why, would almost say that | would
not have a teacher who did not know
how 10 dance. For my own part, | en-
Joy the dance. l believe it aids and
strengthens me morally, physically and

he was at home the night the crime
was committed.

BOOK TWO.


BOOK TWO.
Now it came to pass that the
henchmen whom the wise men
had sent out to prosylite among
the people returned much crest
fallen to the capital city, for
their interviews with the people
had discouraged them greatly.
Instead of the glad hand they
had anticipated, the cold Shout
der in solid phalanx everywhere
abounded. The people said
they were taxed to death now,
why should they voluntarily
take on more.
Then the chief of the wise
men spake unto Bates the Grave
saying: How didst the people
'of Mud Valley receive thee?
And Bates the Grave made
answer thus, Oh, with courtesy
and with respect enough, but
not with such familiar instances
nor with such free and friendly
conference us they hath used
of old.
The chief said: Bates thou
hast ascribed a hot friend cool
ing. Ever note, Bates, when
love begins to sicken and decay
! it useth an enforced ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and
simple faith, but hollow men
like horses hot at hand, make
gallant show and promise Of
their metal, but when they
should endure the bloody spur
they fall their crests, and like
deccitful .jades sink in the trial.
Then Bates spake, saying:
These Mudites say they fatten
not at the public crib like we of
the capital, they must grow
maze and other cereal for sus-
tenance. During many seasons
past the flood gates of the
heavens were opened and their
lands were deIuged with water.
Their crops were destroyed and
their spirits shaken. In their
distress they planned a great
canal to carry the surplus water
down into the kingdom of the
Pottawattamies. They are sore
taxed for this canal; a square
of land on which they were
wont to grow five and forty
measures of maize is taxed six
pieces of silver. They say the
time is inopportune, they have
not the coin obuild this temple.
(The chief aside, Ha, what
hath happened now? Last sum-
mer when we saw their bitches
must assuredly be established
we rallied our hosts and jour
neyed down into the lands of
the Pottawattamies, even unto
Council Bluffs, and with great
buster and pretense appeared
before the joint tribunal. Hath
some scoundrel put the billiards
wise, else how could they have
have discovered this, our ruse.)
Then the chief spake and
said, will they thus break their
faith with me, and deny us this
coin. Last summer we helped
them get this canal of which
you speak, and they in turn
promised to help us with this
temple. Yea, verify this is the
|sting of ingratitude. Rotten.
IT'S the rankest compound of
villianous smell that ever of
Tended nostrils.
Oh, what may men within them
hide,
Tho angels on the outer side.
But get thee back, we must
have these shekels for this
temple. Tell them like Shy
lock of old, we demand our
pound of flesh. But why these
tears? Then Bates the Grave
spake, saying: Oh Sire, tits
honest water from the we'll of
truth. have no stomach for
this business. Faith l have
some dregs of pity in me left.
These people speak the truth.
By heavens, I'd rather coin my
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1905-11-23

nedfI anu uiop my ploou loI
shekels than to wiring from
these peasants their scant coin
by any indirection.
Then Andrew the Constable
spake saying: Sires, find the
atmosphere at Woodbine much
below the zero point. My smoke
CONCEALED to icicles. The peo-
pile take not kindly to this en-
terprise. They like not the
suburban business. The trades
men do offer thirty thousand
pieces of silver to have this
temple builded in their midst.
Then the chief spake saying,
Ha, has it come to this. Some
twelve seasons past the Mud
ties thought to steal it, but we
Aogged them soundIv. And
now it is Woodbine. But they
must not, shall not have it.
The stars shall fade away,
the sun himself grow dim with
age and nature sink in years,
but this temple shall abide here
externally, unhurt amidst the
war of elements, the wrecks of
matter and the crush of worlds
Then he called the chief
scribe and said unto him, Scribe,
thou dost indite each week on
sheets of paper such things and
Idoings as best suits our pur
lpose and our aims, which thou
dost send to every hamlet in
our kingdom. See to it this
week that thy sheets contain
rumors of war, covert threats,
inuendos, yea open defies. If
the people will not be coaxed
they must be driven. We are
sore oppressed so in this our
hour of peril let thy ink turn
to poison and thy pen to a
tigers tooth.
Ho, associates, prepare me a
relay OF horses. See to it that
they are fleet of limb and sound
of wind. No detected jades
will serve my purpose.
When yonder sun sinks into
the bosom OF the ocean and
darkness creeps abroad inviting
all mankind to slumber and re-
pose, with nature thus enrolled
and vision thus obscured, with
no eye to see me save the eye
of my great Creator, will, like
the wolf that steals upon it's
Iprey, HE me far into the coun-
try and there call forth in
slumber's robes some honest
agriculturalists and with oily
tongue and honeyed words III
win them to our cause.
Then when gray streaks fret
the eastern skies, harbingers of
coming day, III HE me to my
home again. This / will repeat
each night until after the as
semblage. And when these
farmers see the change thus in
their brother, not knowing the
reason why, presto, they will
like fleecy sheep flock unto our
standard.
But spake another of the
wise men: Think thou chief
thee can do all this? Then the
chief spake saving, Yea verify,
even more. Have | not by this
same method many times in
the past WI en- hope seemed
futile and despair like a noun
tain range doomed up before us,
brought victory for our stand
ards; yea, snatched it even
from the jaws of defeat. We
yet shall win. Prepare me a
relay of horses. And 10 it was
done. Leviticus.
