musicians says an authority in the
London Saturday Review, who pro-
ceeds: in the musical profession
there are few prizes, but for the
largest number of artists the life is
one of drudgery-the drudgery of
learning, the drudgery Of pushing
ones self into notice, and after all the
continual drudgery Of playing or sing
ing just the music the public wants.

profession unless he or she loves mu-

Farmers who believe that Of ell the

the only ones who should exhaust
their energies in production, to have
their products priced and taken with

handing that il be followed.
The original conception of the sub
