Guess the Tempo Was Alright, Too.


The editor of a paper published in
Little Rock was once in receipt of
complimentary copy of a musical
composition by an Arkansas friend.
Feeling that he was called upon
to make some acknowledgement of
the courtesy, the editor did so in this
wise:-
Gas the editor of this paper doesn't
know a demisemiquaver from a dia-
pason. or a bass clef from high c.
he will not, therefore, be expected to
give an extended notice of this pro-
Guction. We can say, however, that
the type used in printing the compo-
sition is clear and plain, and that the
paper appears to be of the best quail
ity of rag. The design on the front
page is most artistic, and the words
are as tender as a real spring chicken
and as poetic as the song of the
meadow lark on a May morning. The
melody is sound a1d all right, with
no windgalls or collar marks. The
harmony, too, appears to be strictly
o. K, with no patent defects or no.
ticeabla blemishes. The tonality is
clear and resonant, and rests on har-
monic relations and melodic eie-
ments. This is about all the praise
in connection with said composition
we are able to evolve from our cab
bage-favored temperament. SBS

To improve the School Grounds.

If the Neighborhood Improvement
Society takes them in hand. Trees

and softly at him. He got fieeting
impression of a red, naked, flth-en-
crusted neck and a ruff of soiled
feathers. Then, almost before
he could throw up his arm, the
hooked bill snapped, and he felt
pang in his cheek and the warm
trickle of blood.
The buzzard tapped off, astonished
at it's vigorous reception, and Joined
the two on the rail. These catch
basins of the marsh were their
friends. Anything that fell into them
belonged to the buzzards eventually.
This thing evidently had not been in
quite long enough, but the three buzz
yards could afford to wait a while.
The buzzards hunched together ami
cably, their bald heads bobbing. Saw.
yer, mopping his cheek-bone, looked
at them with fear and hatred. Then
he looked at the nearest bank. It
was ten feet away-ten feet of shak-
ing, bottOmless ooze. He well knew
what would happen to him if he set
a stockinged foot on that.
He thought hard and long. The
sun burned a hot spot on the top OF
his head where the hair was thin,

wings derisively. Sooner or later

the little red cow were not quite
so sharp in the back! AS it was, he
was too stiff and too portly to bal
ance himself on her bony ffanks, let
alone doing a standing jump of ten
feet.
When the idea came to him 1t
seemed so simple he rejected 1t at
first. But his mind kept returning
to it. 1t was the one definite piece
of action that had suggested Itself.
He took off his coat, waistcoat and
flannel shirt, and laid them neatly
across the red cows spine. On top
of these, after considerable exertion,
he placed his muddy trousers. Then
in his underwear he shook his fist
at the buzzards.
There's many a slip!" he shouted
at them. 81 hope that slip won't be
mine" he added, somewhat less con-
fidently.
He measured the distance to the
bank with an anxious eye, and one
by one tossed the various garments
forth ON the ooze. They formed
wavering and insecure-looking paw
ing for little over half the dis
tance
He stretched out a foot gingerly,
tested the resistance of the waistcoat
and took the plunge!
1t was done in dash and mad
slide, such as he used to make when
a member of certain grammar-school

was jammed into the bank and his
fingers hooked among the reeds.
He was a piebald and evil-smelling
figure when he crawled forth on the
level of the marsh, but he had sell

content to leave the new khaki suit
and the rubber boots. And with them
he cast away all desire to become
sportsman. He felt much sympathy
for the little red cow, however, and
he spoke to her comfortingly as he
curried himself with handfuls OF
grass.

Beef Packers Will Be Given Chance
to Explain Present Conditions.
Washington.-The house committee
on agriculture on Wednesday decid-
ed to comply with the request OF the
Chicago packers to be heard on the
Neill-Reynolds report regarding con-
ditions in the Chicago packing houses.
The request was made by Thomas
Wilson, who said he was an employe
Of the Nelson Morris company, but
in this instance was authorized to
speak for all the Chicago packers.
Before hearing Mr.. Wilson, the COM
mittee notified the department OF
agriculture and Mr.. Neill, Secretary
Wilson. DR.. A. D. Melvin of the de-
partment, and Mr.. Neill at once came
to the capitol and the hearing began
shortly before noon.
Mr. Wilson made general denial
of the existence of conditions in the
hacking house as set forth in the
NeillReynolds report. He began by
inviting the committee to come to
Chicago and spend week in personal
investigation of conditions. That, he
said. would be the only way for mem
bers to gain proper idea OF what
the conditions really were. Some
suggestions made in the report, ne
said. had already been complied with
by the packers, such as addltlonal
sanitary facilities.
