ing That Is Not "Game."
After an intelligent and watchful
mother had sent her children to a
famous kindergarten for several
months she withdrew them because
she found that they were being ruined
by getting the attitude of regarding
everything as a game"-that is, in
stead of learning through games how
to go about the serious business of
life, they were learning to approach
everything in the careless, make
believe spirit of play.
There is a hint in this for our col
leges. There is a hint in it for all
those who do puzzles, and play chess,
and ride to hounds, and fool with rings
and bars to develop their minds and
bodies. The world is cursed with tens
of thousands of human beings who
have the best natural advantages, but
can get up the steam of enthusiasm
only for some game" that is useless
in it's aim, and no more useful in it's
method than its corresponding real
ity would be.
It is as certain as cause and effect
that he who takes play seriously will
take serious things playfully.-Satur-

Not in Her Class,

The eagles were holding a conven-

caucus-onA the rocky crest of lofty
hill.
Proud, regal birds they were, pierre
ing of eye, sharp of beak, and strong
of claw, and all the timid creatures
of the air retreated to safe distance
and watched them with awe.
Presently, however, a wandering
turkey buzzard, attracted by curiosity,
ventured to join them.
They eyed her scornfully-even
threateningly.
What are you doing here?" they
said. This is a gathering Of eagles.
You are a vulture, and are not in our

you are right" replied the turkey
buzzard 81 am of some use in the

there are two kinds of aristocracy,
and that lofty style isn't everything.

Vienna Stage Celebrities Test Pub
Ilc's Judgment of Music.

lies Judgment VI muSfS'
A merry quartette of performers
made an interesting experiment in the
streets of Vienna, says the New Or
leans Times-D Democrat, In order to
see with their own eyes how the gen.
eral public would appreciate the high
est artistic talent If it were exhibited
in the open street, unannounced and
unadorned.
Miss Gerda Waldo, prima donna of
the Vienna stage; Louis Treumann,
the popular comedian of the Carl the
ater; Edward Eysler, the composer,
and Alfred Deutsch-G German, the play
wright, arrayed in the garb of ordinary
street musicians, made tour through
the principal streets of the city. The
composer, Eysler, performed the du-
ties of organ-grinder, while the others
sung repertoire which included
such well-known songs as "Geh, Mach
Dein Fenster Auf" (Go, Open Your
Window"), "Kussen LIST Keine Sund"
C'Kissing Is No SIM and "Jetzt
Spielt's Uns an Tanz" (Now They Play
and Dance for Us").
The incognito of the celebrated band
remained undiscovered and the days
"takings" aggregated paltry 6S
kreutzers (about shilling pence),
which they laughingly divided among
themselves. Their previous doubts as
to the ability of the public to Judge
of the value of art unassisted by the
atrical effect have now given way to
settled conviction. But, nevertheless,
it would have been interesting to find
out what the days takings would have
amounted to had the quartette openly
announced themselves as the leading
lights of the Austrian musical world.
Doubtless the man in the street, even
in Vienna, does not look for talent

An Irresistible Conclusion.

An Irresistible CONCLUSION.
He was a critic, so he said
He wrote his way to fame.
If nonsense CHANGED to fill his head,
He wrote 1t just the same.
His essays were made up of queer
Opinonated kinks,
And people trembled at the sneer
or Jingle Burnem Jinks.
He showed where Shakespeare sometimes
failed,
Although his work was fair.
At Swift he arrogantly rallied;
He patronized Voltaire.
The life work Of the worlds great men
He'd crush in forty winks,
And very few escaped the pen
OF Jingle Burnem links.
But those who followed him at length
Grew very sad indeed,
They cried, Pray show us, in your
strength
What Is there left to read!
Upon what author may we lean
AS one who really thinks?'
He answered with an air serene,
why, Jingle Burnem Jinks." .
