why is an orchestra leader?" l
asked Colvin, the head music
maker at the, Spokane theater, the
other day, and he was stumped for
an answer.
Guess it varies according to cir.
cumstances. l know that in my
case, an orchestra leader is be-
cause / got energetic and carried in
big load of wood for my father
when / was kid. | and my
brother were living with the old
folks back east, and one day we
were bringing in a lot of wood for
fuel. My brother was always full
of schemes and was always looking
for a reward for anything that
looked like work. While we were
piling up the wood he proposed
that we hurry ana get it all in be-
fore the "old man" came home. and
then strike him for violin. We
did it and got the violin. Then
my father made me stick to it
even though l soon got the notion
that was cut out for cornet
player. That's how developed
into an orchestra leader"
Mrs. Parmeter, the charming
pianist of the Spokane orchestra,
is holding down her present job
because her mother wouldn't buy
her toy piano when she was a
tiny kidlet. Right then and there
the little girl who is now Mrs Par
meter made up her mind that she
would play real piano when she
grew up. Now she's classed as one
of the best orchestral pianists in
the city-but she wishes her moth

STORY ABOUT fine
SPOKANE" ORCHESTRA

H. Mracek, the clarinetist, says
that he doesn't know how he came
TO be playing that instrument, but
he is too modest. He knows, but
he doesn't like to tell. Anyway he
says that he always liked the kind
of a noise a clarinet makes, and so
he naturally took to the instru-
ment.
And Morris Cady. the man in the
junk shop. He took to the snare
drums when he was but a kid, and
Santa Claus left one at his house
on Christmas. Then he had a nat
ural bent for Juggling things, but
never developing it enough to make
good in vaudeville, he takes out his
spite on the public by springing
unexpected noises upon them IN
the course of orchestral proceed
ings.

HASTE SAVED

In her frenzy to kill herself, Mrs.
John Wynn, who lives at 014z5R
Ash street, spilled most of the bot.
tie of carbolic acid which she at
tempted to swallow, over her face
and neck yesterday afternoon. Her
recovery is expected, although her
neck was terribly burned where
the acid had been spilled. She did
not succeed in swallowing much of
the poison, however, and she is ex-
pected to recover. Worry and de.
spondency over her husband leav-
ing her is thought to have been
the cause of the attempt.

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

Did 1t ever occur to you that a
mans life is full of crosses and temp
tations? He comes into the world
without his consent and goes out of
it against his will, and the trip be-
tween is exceedingly rocky. The rule
of contraries is one of the features of
the trip.
When he is little, the big girls kiss
him; when he is big, the little girls
kiss him.
It he is poor. he is bad manager !;
If he is rich, he is dishonest.
If he needs credit. he can't get it,;
if he is prosperous, everyone wants
to do him favor.
II he is in politics, it is for graft !;
if he is out of politics, he is no good
to his country.
If he doesn't give to charity, he is
a stingy cuss: if he does, it is for
show.
If he is actively religious, he is a
hypocrite: if he takes no interest in
religion, he is hardened sinner.
If he gives affection, he is a soft
specimen; if he cares for no one, he
is cold blooded.
If he dies young, there was great
future before him; if he lives to an
old age, he missed his calling.
If you save money, you're a crouch
Ii you spend it, you re loafer;
If you get it, you're a CRATER;
II you can't get it, you re a bum

BUY LAND NOW

Young man, get hold of piece of
land. 1t is the most staple class of
property in the world. If rightly To-
Gated it will always be productive
and can never be stolen. It will in
crease in value, too, as sure as it has
in the past. The limit has not been
reached. The people of the world are
increasing in a geometrical progress
sion and the land increases not in ex-
tent. Buy as soon as you can make a
first payment, but not too much. or
you may overestimate your ability to
meet the deferred payments. The
best thing that can happen you is to
get into debt for land, if you have q
spark Of ambition, for it will set Won
saving. Until he begins to save a
young man has not started the seri-.
GUS business of life. Buy land. Even
a little piece, when paid for, standa
between you and want.

LOCAL PACKING HOUSES

a contributor to Wallace's Farmer
suggests as a cure for the present in
tolerable conditions, both in the mar
keting ofslive stock and in the SUP.
plying of meats to the consumer, tile
establishment of a local packing plant
IN every county. He declares that
"Al} of the live stock sold for packing
purposes could just as we'll as not be
packed within the borders of the
county. A cooperative packing plant
could be managed as we'll as a CO.
operative creamery or an insurance
company. He suggests that each
such plant could be provided with an
inspector from the State Agricultural
School, his salary to be paid by
tax. All meats killed for packing, or
refrigerated at the plant and sold
fresh, would thus have State guar
antee of their wholesomeness. Such
an arrangement would save the haul
to Chicago and return. The farmers
would get at least as good prices for
thelr stock as now, and both they and
the townspeople would pay far less
for the finished products. The coun-
ty packing-houses would have as little
difficulty in disposing of their meats
as the creameries have in dispos-
ing of their butter; for they would
equally have the confidence of the
n ~ IL.
use of by-products, ETC., could be as
readily practiced in the coonty estab-
lishments. So many reasons can be
cited, in fact, why system of local
packing houses should be preferred
to the present system, that apparent
ly only the inspiration of q good
leadership is necessary to bring about
the establishment of local concerns
in large numbers.

GET INTO THE CAME

Get into the game. There's lot
going on in the world-good, bad and
betwixt the two. There are no closed
doors, no duh hours, no lack of audi
ence in the game of life. There is
something doing every minute, and
the man or woman who is merely an
onlooker, a disinterested spectator, is
wasting time that is worth it's weight
in gold. And time includes all there
is in life. Between the beginning
and the end of life we are given our
portion of time, and unless we make
good use of this little link between
the two eternities we have lost the
only opportunity that will ever be
given
Don't be drone and imagine that
the world owes you a living or that it
owes you anything else. The world
owes no man a red cent, not even a
pleasant look. You must dig for what
you get and the digging may be
mighty hard. But it's root hog or
die with most of US. The man who
holds up his cup and expects it to be
Tiled with mama from heaven will
go to bed with an empty stomach.
Mama don't come that way nova
days. Iou'v got to get it from a
trust.
And this world would be whole
lot better if everyone of us should do
something to help it along. If we
should get into the right side Of every
moral question, there would be
enough ice water dumped into hell to
put ont the fire.
