OF sixteen but young Rachurn is al

This Interesting young singer has
been member ct a boy choir since his
seventh yclr He is 81 native of Canada
and entered the choir Of Trinity church,
New York city. at the ace of eleven.
When he arrived at the age ait which
most boys lose their soprano tones the
choirmas,er believed that lie saw signs
Of the approaching change SO much
dreaded by boy singers who have been
soloists and broke the Intelligence as
kindly as he could Raeburn took the
hint and went his way sorrowfully.
Two years later he returned to Trini-
ty ana asked to be given Il trial. The
choirmaSter tried TO diSsuade him. but
the lad was persistent and declared
that he was AL right" again. TO end
the matter he was given an opportu-
nifty of showing what he could do. To
the choirmaster's infinite aStonishment
and delight the boy sang with an ease
aud brlliancy that he had never be-
fore attained His voice retained all
its old time sweetness and quality and
had gained UNNECESSARILY in volume
and expression. He was re-engaged at
once and has remained at Trinity ever
since.
Raeburn's long career as a chorister
has made him an excellent and most
competent musician, and his repertory
s very extensive. He has sung in most
of the oratorios, masses and sacred
cantatas that are produced by Ameri-
can choirmaSterS and has mastered all
their technical difficulties. He is also
familiar with most of the best known
arias Of grand opera.

KEEP THE noY TnIs WAY.

To keep a boy on the farm first of all
work should be made as pleasant and
attractive to him as possible. lie will
never like the farm if he realizes that
he is nothing but chore boy to have
to work with the poorest team, the old
est tools. Then giving him a small
financial interest in the work which he
does is a matter Of the highest impor-
lance There are far more boys driven
from the farm than ever leave it volun-
tarily. A very good way is to give the
boy an acre of land and let him have
nil he can raise on it. a number of old
grangers have been much surprised at
what their boys could do under this
plan and have been given a very valu-
able object lesson in the possibilities of
q small piece Of land we'll titled. You

An Accented speech.

It was in 1917, when the Free Soil
state convention was held at Herkl-
mer. There was a great gathering Of
Free Soil Democrats and abolitionists.
In the ballroom of the hotel-it was
called tavern in those days-before
the opening of the convention were
gathered the leaders, who were con-
structlng the new party platform, slat-
ing the officers and committees and
doing other preliminary work. In
chair tilted against the wall was
Prince John Van Buren, running over
the manuscript of the great speech he
was to deliver. Occasionally he arrest
ed the work Of his associates with an
invitation to listen to a paragraph
which he considered especially good.
His readings each time produced laugh
ter and applause. Finally he read
passage which excited shouts of laugh
ter and applause. When this had died
away somebody said, John, you ought
to have that part printed in italics"
Prince John affected surprise at the
suggestion. Gentlemen" he said, Il

QUIT GRUMBLING.
Cease Worrying over the Inevitable
and Court COntentment.

Cease Worrying Over the Inevitable
and Court COntentment.
How full the world is of grumblers!
Many of the same people who scold In
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old if we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
evitable. The truly happy are the hap
DIV 90 lucky, who take everything as 1t
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains, all that is left to do is to
put up our umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, If there Is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort Of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue Is to take what comes along
and be glad It Ia no worse.
