MUSIC WOULD HELP SOME.

says the Kansas Industrialist. That's
queer thing to get into ones head,
but this is how it might be done.
Take your own case, for instance:
Your daughter has come home after
four years in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. She knows how to
cook and sew and care for the house,
but also she knows how to play the
piano. Helps you. lot to hear a bit
of good music at night-if it isn't too
late. You come in from the fields
tired and ready to snap at people,
pretty easily angered. Perhaps you
are already that way. After a hard
days work, before you ate your sup
per, you were more likely to be i'm
patient than after you had eaten. If
it was a good supper you felt rested.
That is because the supper pleased
you. The pleasing things, then, are
the restful things.
Music is said to be a succession of
sounds pleasing to the ear. Music,
then, will rest you. 1t will do more
than that, it will put you in a more
cheerful frame of mind. Reading
might please you, but to some per-
sons reading is work, and they soon
nod and go to bed in no better frame
of mind than before. Reading, alone.
will not do.
But what has this to do with doc
tor bill? One doctor in giving rules for
good health says: Cultivate a cheer
full state of mind. Many persons have
been known to die in a fit of anger"
An optimistic mood, then, is con-
ducive to health. And of course with
health you need no doctor. See?
But this is not all. Consider the
advantages of going to bed in a cheer
full frame of mind instead of kick
ing one shoe off in one direction.
throwing the other at the cat, and
going to bed sore.
Refinement follows education. Art
follows refinement. But music pIeases
the ignorant as well as the refined. It
is, however, a different class of mu-
sic that appeals to these two classes.

NOT A BLESSING.

The newspapers are commenting
upon man who just died at the ripe
age of 108 years. The commentators
seem to think that he had accom-
piished something worth while. He
had seen three generations come and
go, but what of that? What is there
worth while in mere living? When the
joy of living passes life becomes
weary, stale, fiat and Improbable. If
a man is the right kind of a man he
makes friends, and lives by and for
and in them. 1t is difficult to make
new friends; for young men do not
readily make friends with old men,
and even the friendship of kindred are
at best perfunctory when there Is great
disparity of ages. When ones friends
have gone, and ones children have
gone, why cumber up the ground?
The last rose of summer blooming
alone, is a sad spectacle-one of the
saddest in the world, and all because
all its lovely companions have with
cred and gone. Length of days is a
fine thing when it is accomplished by
friends and those we love, but sheer
length of days, the mere ability to
consume staple and fancy groceries,
hats, caps, drugs, paints and oils
that is the hollowest thing in what be-
comes a hollow world.-Emporia Ga

] Trade GI6NSoG GANA1A ONO-SA-4NNAs
Much pessimism has been expressed
during the past few months in bust
ness and financial circles over the con-
/ ditions that prevail in these activities.
1t is conceded on all sides that the
general run of trade has not been as
! brisk as it might have been, or even
as good as to make for ordinary bust
ness. The alarmists have insisted that
an era of hard times was at hand The
conservatives have declared that the
stagnation in business has been due
to the necessary readjustments in trade
which followed the abnormal high
prices that reached their flood some
months ago. They have pointed out
that the business men and financiers
have shown wisdom during this read
justnent in the handling of their af-
fairs with the result that all lines of
business and finance, generally speak
ing are on firm foundation, even
though there is not unusual activity
in these lines.
And if Frank A. Vanderlip, president
of the National City Bank of New York,
is as competent an. authority as he
should be. the conservatives have call
ed the turn, and those who think there
are going to be hard times in the i'm
mediate future are victims of their own
imaginations. Mr.. Vanderlip is the
head of the most powerful financial in
stitution in this country today. It's
qualifications are many and divers and
concern the support and development
of many large railroad and other in
dustrial corporations. Mr.. Vanderlip
is now on a trip through the central
western section of the country which
will take him over the lines of the
Missouri Kansas & Texas railway, the
Frisco system and the Hartman roads
in the southwest. While he was in st.
Louis the other day he delivered him
self of these sentiments:
I. Agricultural and mercantile pros
poets for 1911 are excellent. Capital is
we'll disposed toward investment in de-
velopment enterprises. Unless unfor
seen and unexpected shocks disturb the
situation, the general movement Of
trade and finance will be strong and
voluminous.
THE fundamental conditions of gem
eral business and finance are good. The
trade outlook is gratifying. The state
of the soil is excellent. There is an
abundance of money All the elements
of commerce in the United States are
fundamentally sound"
These statements may strike some
people as bordering too much on gen.
eralization. But they state facts and
convey the opinion of the controlling
hand in one of the biggest financial in
situations in the world. And the praters
on hard times should run to cover.
There is nothing so conducive to bring
about such conditions than continual
harping that they are sure to develop.
AS Mr.. Vanderlip POINTS out, the pros
poets for prosperous times were never
better, and they can be fastened on by
a general forgetting Of the possibility
of poor times.

Birthplace Of Washington.

The home to which Mary Ball went
as a bride, as the second wife of
Augustine Washington, in 1880, was
one of the best of the, Virginia farm
houses of that period. 1t stood at
Popes Creek, near Bridges Creek,
Westm oreland county. 1t had four
rooms and spacious attic, piazza
on the river front, and two chimneys
in the olden style, one at each end of
the structure. It was there that
George washington was born on Feb
ruary %. 1892.
There is general misunderstanding
as to the Washington family. George
Washington had three half-brothers,
one half-sister, and three brothers
half-sister, children of Augustine
Washington and Jane Butler, were
Butler ldied in infancy, Lawrence,
Augustine and Jane. His brothers and
sisters, children of Augustine Wash
ington and Mary Ball, were Betty.
Mildred (died in infancy.)
Washington's father died when the
son was II years old, and his train
ing devolved upon his mother, wo-
man of rare force of character. He
received a common school education
but never became learned in books.
He early showed a liking for military
matters, was fond of the sports of
boyhood, and was manly, truthful, and
so eminently fair in everything that
his playmates generally selected him
as umpire and cheerfu1ly accepted his
decisions.
George Washington grew to be a
magnificent specimen of manhood. He
was feet 2, inches tall, with large
frame and strength SURPRISING that
of two ordinary men. He excelled in
horsemanship, leaping, swimming.
throwing, and all manner of athletic
sports
At his birthplace at Popes Creek
small army of men and women SER
wants were retained. The plantation
of Augustine Washington embraced
upward of 1000 acres, which with
careful management rapidly increased
in extent, soon taking in with other
lands an estate in Stafford county OPP
posite Fredericksburg, which had
house upon it of precisely the same
architectural pattern as that in which
the Washington family lived, and to
which the family removed to 1913 on
the burning of their pleasant home,

on the Potomac where George Wash
ington died and where he was buried,
