The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-03-29

Boys and girls are often spoiled
by parental gloom. The father
never unbends. The mother rheu-
matism hurts 30 she does not lei
how little Maggie can ever laugh.
Childish curiosity is denounced as
impertinence. The parlor is a
parliament, and everything in
everlasting order.
Balls and tops in that house are
a nuisance, and the paper that the
boy is expected TO relish most is
geometry, a little sweetened by
the chalk of black boards. For
cheerful reading the father would
recommend. "Young's Night
Thoughts, and Hervey's "Medi-
tations Among the Tombs."
At the first chance the boy will
break loose. With one great leap
he will clear the catechism; he
will burst away into all riotous
living. He will be SO glad to get
out of Egypt that he will jump in
to the Red sea. The hardest colt
to catch arc those that have been
locked up a long time. Restraints
are necessary but there must be
some outlet. Too high a dam will
overflow all meadows.

When the body of snow got to the bottom of the gulch It kept right on up the mountain on the opposite side Tor one hundred and fifty feet and It piled in the gulch fully one hundred feet high That snow will not go until the end of June.
 There was no noise, no tremor of the earth, and the slide came down so gently that an inexperienced person would have been tempted to stand in the open and look on while the snow slid past"
 Seeing the slide coming down the mountain above him Mr. Smith jumped into the blacksmith shop at the three hundred foot level, ran into the tunnel there, thence down to winze to the four hundred foot level, and cut to the blacksmith shop at that level.
 There was thirty feet of snow on the roof of this shop, but Mr. Smith did not know this, and he had to get out before the sncw became crusted, anyway. So he gbegan shovellng a way aut with a scoop shovel, throwing the snow be- hind him. In couple of hours he had burrowed tunnel about sixty feet long to daylight, and when John Sears, the only other man within mile CT two and his sole companion, came from the cabin to look for him he was just in time to see Mr. Smith break through the top of pile of snow fifty or sixty feet high.

 One is reminded of a droll story which Sir Thomas More told of his fool. At dinner this privileged person ex- claimed staring at one of the guests, What a terrible nosew Everbody be- gan to talk loud and More gave the fellow a look, whereupon he burst out: How I lied in my throat when I said his nose was monstrous! Faith, it's rather small!" Moore ordered him to leave the room. Pausing at the door, he shouted: There's one thing I would have you know-that gentleman hasn't the least atom of nose!''
 It is not easy to recall a compliment tary allusion to this feature. Pepys de- clared himself in love with La Belle Stewards dear little nose, but he never thought his remark would be published. IA pretty nose indeed is charming, but how rarely one sees it. better perhaps, to avoid the subject. But Oriental poets and romancers rather dwell upon it.

ABOUT NOSES.

Most Abiding Sign of Race-Com- pllmentary Illusions to the Feature.
 The nose is our least honorable fea- ture-to say no worse of it. Poets and story tellers have much to say about lady's eyes, lips, teeth, hair, even cheeks; but if they do not overlook the nose altogether they commonly dismiss it with a mere adjective, Greek, Ro- man. aquiline-always a foreign term; for that matter they could not find complimentary epithet in English
 Our forefathors seem to have paid particular attention to the nose only when 1t was snub or turn up or bottle shaped, says the Pail Mail Gazette' Tennyson proved his originality py ln- venting tip tilted, like the petal or a flower" a description which garGeners who would find still more charming II tLey could identify the flower when re- ecrbles a human nose.

Every observant traveller may make the same observation. Why then do we assign to Rome a shape which is scarcely known there Why do so many people | talk of the Caucasian race as equiva- | lent to European? Because Prof

DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL SERVICE.

At Dwight Place Church Sunday Night Address by Mir. Pope in the After

 The Dwight Place church was crowd ed to the doors Sunday evening, when the choir rendered Gaul's sacred canta- ta, "The Holy City This cantata, though not new to the people of this city, is none the less welcomed and en- ioyed each time it is given. It is a strong, well-written work, coming ol- most within the scope of an oratorio in the beauty and grandeur of. it's chorus es. These were sung with fine preci- sion and body of tone Sunday evening by the large chorus under MT. Browns direction, and the solo parts were all well rendered by Miss Carroll, soprano; Miss Butler, alto; Mrs Smith, tenor, and Mir Mix, bass. Miss Winifred Campbell, assisted at the piano, and was very efficient throughout The or chestra, Messrs Holt, Hayes, Case and Tulls, did effective work on the chorus es. One of the features of the perfor- nance was the rendition of the Inter- mezzo" by organ, piano and orchestra. MT. Brown, the organist and director, gave unmstakable evidences of his abilities as a leader, and was equally effective in his organ accompaniments.
