Thomas Carlyle is a name royal in
literature. OF course all royalty in
any department has its friends and foes,
and CARLYLE had his. Chief among his
characteristics was his grimness, grim In
logic and humor. Writing to an ac-
quaintance concerning conditions on the
British Isle he said in part: 1--WE have
about thirty millions OF people over here

resent being termed fool, yet we all

people, and thirdly, those who are posi-

pushing back his cuffs he began-"Now

The other evening at a dinner party
the host wanted to start things in right

OBSERVATIONS
Balm

Monday evening brought the second
number on the ladies' Coterie lecture
course program. One piano graced the
opera house platform, with a stately
style u Lyon IL Healy harp That
meant an evening of music which was
well rendered and received. One must
be hard 10 please who would come away
from listening to such an aggregation
and be altogether dissatisfied. We did
not hear it, being compelled to 90 and
listen to some music of an altogether
different quality after the meeting at
the Methodist church dismissed, so our
judgment of the musicale is on general
principles. A piano in the hands of an
expert of fair AGILITY is poetry and dra-
ma, fire and energy, rythm and romp
and rollicky motion. Nothing can so
calm and beautify the sentiments, soften
and entender the feelings as a violin
The signing of Verdi's hopeless lover in
ii Trovatore, the moaning of winds and
waters, the fervor of all melody, the
kisses and benediction of the mother
this is the mission of the violin. And
the harp - well, that is musical realm
mostly by itself. The grand old, yet
ever youthful biblical harp! 1t is
termed the Silver of Music" The mu-
steal word Arpeggio comes from harp,
which means the weaving of melody
colors. In Europe, particularly among
Welsh Scotch and Italians, it ranks royal
with the violin. The singer being able
to afford harp and violin obligato there
by has added the possible best in music,
though the singer must be free from de-
tects Of tone or il shows at once with
such a combination. From $3.50 TO $500
is the usual cost of such a harp as was
heard Monday evening. The query often
comes, "Why so few harpists? The an
swer may be, great expense OF instru-
ment, about 60 per lesson and a long,
1opg time Ger it can be mastered, no
matter what the seller may say to the
contrary. So we repeat, one ought to
be satisfied in some way with what was
offered Monday evening, and the ladies
of the Coterie appreciated for commend
able efforts to improve community ideals
and desires.

the present do we heed the call of the

Christmas. Glasses in literature and

Here is an incident for US to deter
mine where the sense lay,-Which man
of the two, in your estimation was en-
titled TO the honors? The train was
rushing west through Canada bearing a
certain man and his two hundred pound
of baggage. He fused and fumed over
the care of his trunk. Getting out at
every stop he would crane his neck into
the baggage car and ply the baggage
man with questions as to its security.

well as trunks, and finally losing pa

r EXPERIENCE is a costly teacher, and some
- times its lesson is sad one. This may
be said to be true Of the horrifyng death that
overlook the little Hill boy who was killed by
a toboggan last week while OH a pleasure trip
with his parents and in company with his friends
down at Woodland Beach 1t seems incredible
that those who have charge Of public parks and
places Of recreation could be SO insensible to
the rights of those who visit such places as to
allow dangerous instrumentalities 10 exist right
in the midst Of those whom they should protect
and save from harm. There is absolutely no
excuse for anyone who permits death-dealing
machines to be ungarded and to remain in such
a condition that little children or other persons
are liable to become entanged in them, and
especially SO, when coming into contact with
such appliances means sudden and certain death
By the expenditure Of little money such
machines could be fenced in, and when in bad
condition could be repaired But the expense
is in many cases the very cause OF the machine
