The Eavor;te Girl.

She Is the girl who Is not too bright
and too good to be able To find JOY
and pleasure all over the world, says
the Chicago News.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything In the world
She Is the girl who Is not aggressive
and does not find joy in melting az
gressivc people.
She Is the girl who has tact enough
not TO say the very thing that will
cause the skeleton in her friends closet
to rattle his bones
She Is the girl who, whether it Is
warm or cold, clcar or stormy, finds
no fault with the weather
She Is the girl who when you invite
her TO any place compliments yon by
looking her best
She Is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she Is so
pleasant herself.

LIVING BY MUSIC.
Advantage of Being Able to Play at
Least Two Instruments.

Least Two instruments.
A member of musical organization
who takes special pride in his skill "a
tuba PLAYER is also an accomplished
violinist
Every practical musician" he says
swho expects To make his living at
the business ought 10 play mt least two
mstruments-ou brass and the other
string. 1t often happens that a man
! playing Two Instruments can secure
nm engagement where he who plays
! but onc would be left unemployed dur.
! Ing part of the time Travelling com
| panies who take their musicians along
often insist on their doubling up that
is, playing brass in II street parade or
| In front of the thcater and a string in
strument in the orchestra. In the good
old summer time the demand Is for
brass. In the winter strings are In re
quest. SO 1t the change of season many
cornct and horn players put away their
brass Instruments, take up their fddles
and their bows and play at balls and
| dances all the winter long
Resides this, there Is another thing
TO be considered. Every cornet and
horn player must look forward to the
time when his lip gives out. After
years of horn playing the overtaxed
muscles of the lips become relaxed
They are strained from the constant
demands made upon them by holding
them In Il certain position. Sometimes
n player retains his embouchure for
life. sometimes II gives out suddenly,
sometimes there Is Il gradual deterlora
ton in strength Of muscle and he finds
himself playing worse than he did be
fore and IS compelled to realize the
fact Tint his lip Is giving way. The
in6rmity Is II kind of paralysis OF the
lip. somewhat resembling the SERVE
ners cramp, which attacks the fingers
of the bookkceper The lips remain
otherwise In good order."-Cleveland

Character Building.

What Is the object Of education? Is
Ut to teach n child or man TO know

be something that he was not? Is II,
In other words, an intellectual or II

10 say that II is both. But there Is n

Dear Editor:
Please permit me TO say that the
Washington Association has met and
adjourned according TO previous ar
rangement Her object I'm view was
to build q High School. There were
forty ministers more or less here.
Ministers need training I'm viewing
her men they were too far away from
each other. They were disunited In
every respect and narrow minded.
A man who was not n minister o.
a delegate couldn't hold a position
there. During the four days ses-
sion IL was not interesting at all.
Not "a resolution passed or an essay
read at all. The ministers I'm talk
ing would tell what and how ignor-
ant they would art i'm their past
lives. but never told how they
should overcome such I viii SAP
that the ministers and leaders chris
tianly. are not as Isure as they were
twenty years ago. They are not for
the conversion of souls of men. they
are for a name and fame and the
almighty dollar.
For TO build and support q school
they need to be iiberal-minded men.
they need social training. The a
mount collected was SLIP and the
disbursements were taken from that.
There was not a we'll trained speaker
before the Association during the
time. All OF our christian leaders
are making "a vast failure on the ac-
count OF pride. You cannot be too
proud and be n servant of God.

Again. I want 90 say TO the many

He went 20 the park with the inten-
tiOu of taking his small brother
home. A crowd of little negroes. "a
mOng whom was Harris, aud the
younger Munday. were gathering
chestnuts from a tree back OF the
rathskeller and when little Munday
was ordered home a division OF the
chestnuts was made. Harris. being
the largest of the boys. ne was cigh-
teen years old. divided the chcstnuts.
Little Munday claimed that the az
vision was not fair and he and his
brother began 90 fight the rest Of
the crowd The two parties came 20
gcther and Harris and jack Munday
clinched. They broke apart and
Munday claims Harris reached into
his hip pocket for "a pistol when hc

kissing him goodbye when Officer
krOuse came into the house and COW
cred the two with his revolver.
Nuuday made mo- resistance. but
camc with the officers pcaccably.
when the station house was reach

saying that he acted In self-dcfense
and would have been killed himself
had he not cut Harris. He seemed
TO be perfectly confident that he was
I'm no danger and slept soundly during
the night. This morning he ratified
the bars OF his cell and told an officer
that he had some cigarettes I'm his
coat pocket and asked that they De
brought 20 him. His testimony be-
fore the coroner was clear and calm
and without falter.
