Once started, he needed to
keep going. Any tyro who

of his discourse understands
how utterly blank the mind
becomes.
The foreman knotted his
brows. He bit his lip. He
clawed his hand through his
histr;onic locks and glared
defiantly at the meeting.
He scruffed the back of his

Foreman Strout of the Hecla Company-Foreman
Strout, felictously named Aquarius by father
whose library had consisted mainly of the Farmers
Almanac-that edition that presents for sole illus
tration the dilapdated gentleman of the zodiac.
Now the principal reason why the people of
Freedom were ready, in the absorption of
their band enthusiasm, to listen to the opposition
was because Foreman Strout never in his life had
spoken word in public except to yell through
his trumpet at the annual muster: Brake 'er
down there! Down with 'er, you hu1np-backed sons
of sea cooks''
His fellow-ctizens therefore felt consuming
curiosity this occasion
But though Foreman Strout making a forensic
debut, he was calm. He felt the comfortable con-
sciOusness of having speech actually at his finger
tips 1t nestled in his breast pocket, and his hand
that thrust dramatically there clutched it's
corner. He considered it corkng good speech

freshman in Freedom Academy, and the foreman
had been two months committing it to memory

members of the Freedom

practical lesson procedure in public bodies,
This day expected to afford valuable
lessons.
The two rival municipal, social and political
organizations of the town of Freedom the Hecla
Number One Fire Company and the Freedom
Cornet Brass Band.
The band was 'yearling''-an interloper so the
fire company considered For many years the
public had saved up its spare change for the Annual
Grand Ball" of the fire company. The subscription
paper that went around prior to muster time had
always had the name of every business man in town
spacked down it without murmur. And now
to have certain disgruntled ex-members of the fire
company get out and organize a brass band hire
a teacher from the city, give band picnics in the
summer and weekly band assemblies in the winter,
and thus divert the tricle of spare change Of the
community, certainly enough to make any
wcll-established fire company mad. And for this
For four consecutive years the Hecla
company had before the town meeting and
asked for a new tub and for additional hose and for
liberal compensation when called to fire
The requests had been turned down each time. AS
matter of fact Freedom had been lulled into false
security. There hadn't been fire in the village in
years, except the burning out of two chmneys
On the contrary, there was evidently increasing
laundering for melody. The band picnics had been
literally patronized, the assemblies called out
nearly fifty couples each week and the townspeople
who stayed away from the Annual Grand FIRE
mems Ball tried to excuse themselves by laying
it all to the going But that wasn't the reason
at all, and the fremen knew it. The excellent
music provided" being only Cephe Emery, Joseph
Baker and Willie Berry-fddle, cornet and organ
the townsfolk saving their money for the next
band ssembly-twenty-two pieces and the bass
drum in every selection.
Yes, sir every in Freedom knew that the
fire company on the run-and the jokers said
they hadn't in SO long that they didn't know
how. Fifteen years of supremacy knocked down
and out by such a stuffed club the Freedom
band!
Two of the fire companys candidates for select
had been turned down that very day in town
meeting. Even the in the galleries had
applauded the election of the bands candidates.
And here Article II in the warrant to
appropriate money for the band after the town
meeting had uproariously voted to pass over"

same time he whirled on his
heels and shouted toward the
back gallery: Now let 'er
go, boys!"
1t was a great surprise
really it was! The members of
the band had tiptoed up the
gallery stairs and were waiting
for this word, and now as the
astonished voters snapped their
heads around they were saluted
with "Oom-pah, oom-pah-Ah
wish All had a dollar of nah
own-oom-pah, oom!" 1t was
great hit, for all the folks recog-
nized the tune. The band had
played it enough times before
that, anyway. The moderator
tried to rap his assembled law
givers into order, but the voters
howled for more, and the
women in the galleries beat
their palms enthusiastically 30
the band obligingly played the
Cadets Quickstep" and wound
up with "Good-by, Little Girl,
Good-by."
When they finished it was
plain that the town meeting was
ready to rain towns gold on
the Freedom Cornet Band.
Question: Question:" popped
shouts from various parts of
the hall.
But at this crisis a man
slowly rose, strobe up the aisle,
faced the voters and waited
for the tumult to subside. His

THE dispute had been

u sometime. 1t already
had divided the town into
bitter factions. Tongues in
the back rooms of the gro
Gerry store, at the grange
meetings and in other places
where the public of Free

and stirred the topic, and
at March town meeting it
came up before them in

say that the mine is all that is claimed for it, and

1t is a wonderful property, greater by far in
my opinion, and in the az inion of others quite com.

owned by Pedro Avorado, who offered to paw the
Mexican National debt, and who about ak years
ago was a poor peon. He is at present probably
the richest man in Mexico, and among the wealth.
lest in the world. While l was there he was taking
out ore worth 81, 900 to the ton, and this ore was
coming from near the CAPuzAYA line, and the orc
body was pitching strongly into CApUZAYA ground.
The CAPUzAyA mine is wonderful, taxing ones
