Haydn the Composer, Writes Music

:. az Payment.

There is no sensible reason for
the titles attached to many pieces of
music, some of them even classical
selections, Most generally they are
placed there as an attempt of some
publisher to boom" his stock and sell
his goods. Then, again. some pecu-
liar titles may have their origin in
incidents about as important as the
following:
Haydn one day received a visit
from a butcher who said that himself
and his daughters were admirers of
Haydns music, and as the young
woman was soon to be married, he
made hold to ask that the composer
write minuet for her wedding. Kind

few days the man Of meat obtained

Hadyn was surprised to hear this

a large OK, tastefully decorated with
flowers. Soon the butcher came up
and presented the OK to Haydn. say

thought he ought to make the COM

rhe Crown for The Faithful.

The virtue of fidelity is not condi-
toned by great opportunities and re
sponsibilities. 1t has nothing to do
with splenaor Of circumstances. 1t
needs no broad arena, no crowd of
spectators. He that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also in
much" The humblest task is to be
done as unto God. Our gift, our tai
ent, may be insignificant, but 1t is to
be used, not buried. What the world
calls success is often the shipwreck
of the soul. The dominion of Gods
world is the blessing of those who
are faithful in very little" faith
full unto DEATH" The crown is not
for success, not for genius. not for
position, not for greatness, but for
faithfulness. Life's work and warfare
are to test and train our fidelity.

HE'S THE ORIGINAL CROUCH
Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind of
Disposition.

There Is in Washington an old
"grouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man
came home at the end of first term,
he exulted in the fact that he stood
next to the head of his class. But the
old gentleman was not satisfied.
Next to the head!" he exclaimed.
''What do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to
college for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where you
ought to be?"
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year hs felt very
proud. 1t would be great news for
the old man.
When the announcement was made,
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug, he remarked:
"At the head of the class, eh?
Well, that's a fine commentary on

Family Enough.

Horace, five years old, has broth
er nine, and sister three, and with
his father and mother, he deemed
this family large enough. When,
therefore, he was told by his aunt
that little baby was to be added to
the family, he protested:
"I think papa and mamma might
better spend their money for more
strawberries and powdered sugar for
me-" he observed, Indignantly.
On certain day a doctor came to
the house and Horace thought he
knew what that meant. His spirit Of
revolt nearly got the better Of him,
however, when a second doctor came.
A few hours later, after the doctors
had departed, his Aunt Ella told him
he had a new little brother. Horace

The maintenance of peace by. pre-
paredness for war is out Of harmony
with the gospel. with reason, with
ethics, with economics and with COM
mon sense, and any institution that is
out of harmony with all these things
should be discontinued. The prophet
says the nations shall not only settle
down to the great industries of peace
but that they shall not learn war
any more. AS long as peace is main
tanned by overwhelming navies the
nations are learning war and the prog
ress of the world is checked. Given
national jealousy, hatred. prepared
ness for war and any trife is suffi-
cient to produce war. Given national
fraternity, great prosperity on the
part Of the people and no armament
and no problem is sufficiently grave
to produce war.
The logic of preserving peace by
Increasing the nayies Of the world
woelld finally leave the world power
in the hands CT one nation. 1t would
only be a matter of time when all
nations but one would become bank
rupt.
The fool,sh] sss of increasing arma-
menf is sesh Ii the s-exaarienee of our
own peaceful republic. For the eight
years preceding the Spanish war, our
appropriations for the army were a
little less than $24,0oO,0O6 per annum.
and for the navy little over S27.000,-
900 per annum. For the eight years
preceding 1911 the appropriations for
the army sprang to sS3,000,000 per an
mum, and for the navy to more than
s102 900, 900. We are now spending for
army, navy and pensions the enor-
nous sum of s47O,O0O,0O0, or 72 per
cent. of the entire revenue Of the
United States. If this increase alone
in the army and navy were turned
toward the industries which make
a nation rich and happy, 1t would en-
able and maintain an Industrial and
agricultural experiment station in
every county in the United States and
give it more than S50.0O0 per annum
for it's work. What would this mean
TO the people? Last year our farm
products of all kinds were valued at
more than $4,7OO,OO0,O0O. With an
experiment station conducted as Min
nesota is conducting her work among
the farmers in every county. with
s50.OOO per annum to operate it. the
agricultural products of this country
could easily be doubled, and with its
doubling every other industry would
keep pace. AS it is now, we are
spending at least s125,OOO.OOO annual
ly on our army and navy more
than IS necessary for reasonable ma
tional policing. and thereby losing
annually more than 100000, 900
which We might have If we followed
the law of gospel and common sense
and used the amount Of money to de-
velop the resources Of the country
that we are now fooling away on
war measures and getting absolutely
nothing for it.

Serenity,

"The true religious man, amid all
the ills of time, keeps a serene fore
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of the city, the agony
OF the plague, the horrors of the
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fercer i'll at home-the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few or many may scream, calum-
Mate, blaspheme. What is all to him

Disconcerting.

A well-known clergyman was one
day in a barber's shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did
not recognize the man in the chair,
with lather all over his face. They
proceeded to spend the time by tell
ing stories and using expressions
which, to say the least, were rather
strong. When the barber pulled away
the towel the clergyman, cleanly
shaved, stood before them. So non
plussed were they that no one tried to
take the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times: Next gentle

The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
