The VALUE OE MUSIC.

Some persons, who from their youth
up have been taught and trained in
an atmosphere of music, are apt to
set a value on music far above that
given By the ordinary man whose only
impression of music is that received
from hearing the ceaseless and inhar-
monious pounding on a piano by his
neighbor's daughter. To judge music
in prejudiced manner, whether it be
at one extreme or the other, certainly
is incorrect. To obtain a fair decision
one must steer between the opinion
of the admiring lover and the opinion
of the hater.
To the ordinary individual music is
charming. 1t creates within the mind
a pleasant sensation and loses his
troubles to the world. 1t brings his
thoughts on higher plane and in
spires his soul
One will find scarcely a community

English Head on French Kings Statue

English Head on French Kings Statue.
There was set up in the Seventeenth
Century at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight,
what is probably the most curious
piece of art extant, erected to the
memory of Sir Robert Holmes, Brit
ish naval officer of that period.
The odd circumstance is that the
statue was not originally designed for
Holmes at all, but for very different
parsonage, no other, indeed, than
Louis XIV of France.
This statue, finished as to the figure,
but in the rough as to the head, was
being taken to France on an Italian
vessel. when it was captured by a
British man-of-war commanded by
Holmes. Upon perceiving the unfin-
ished condition of the statue, Holmes.
with grim humor, compelled the artist,
who had accompanied his work, to
chisel his (Holmes's) head on the
kings body. And so it stands today.
Holmes was eventually made gov
ernor of the Isle of Wight, which fact
accounts for the location of this mon
grel bit of artistry.-Boston Globe.

Does Ambition Mean Grind?

Does Ambition Mean Grind?
tn tho Editor of the University Missourian:
A viewpoint in your columns last
night which contained the plea OF
student for Easter holidays was
headed with the question, rs rms
Student Lazy" l would like to sub
nit nv answer to the question by
saving that he is not lazy, but lacks
ambition. He is not attending the
university for any definite purpose or
he would not be gazing so far into
the future for holidays. The student
probably has always been supplied
with the necessary by his father and
time to him means nothing. His idea
of success in the university is, no
doubt. to obtain as many holidays
and as much pleasure as possible with
the least pain. He is not alone, how
ever, but merely one of a large num-
her of such who haunt this institution.
For the student who has come to
the university for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning an education in order to bet
ter fit himself for some life ambition
the mention of holidays is most dis
agreeable. His time goes on and 1t
costs him borrowed or hard-earned
money to live the same in holidays as
in school time. He cannot take any
pleasure or enjoyment in the days OF
idleness, but they are more nearly
days of misery to him. At the pres
ent day time is the most vital thing in
the life of the young man. He who
has some future plans cares not for
holidays. They are all right when ne
cessary as pure matter of rest, but
at the University of Missouri they
are not necessary. Any student who
keeps up in athletic work or takes
enough exercise and lives regular will
not need braciIg or breathing
SPELL" 1t is not the class of students
who are doing the real school work
Who are pleading for holidays for they
know they cannot afford it. 1t is the
class of men who are used to having
things too easy and who are in the
university for good time more than
for anything else. SENIOR.
