FINE MUSICAL TREAT.
Prof. Henry Games Delights Large Au-
dience al Calumet Theater.

Prof. Henry Purmot Eames gave a
lecture-recital under the auspices OF
Calumet Council, knights of colum-
bus, before large audience in the
Calumet theater last evening, and Il
proved a delightful trca; to all in at
tendance.
Mr.. Eames' technique is brilliant, and
his masterful knowledge Of the instru-
ment a revelation. The way he treats
his subjects oratorically makes his
playing even more charming.
Mr.. Games desired to impress upon
his audience the fact thet music as
language is only very few hundred
years old" II has grown just as Ian
guagcs grow from the alphabet TO
words, from words To vocabularies and
from vocabularies TO idioms. BY way
Of example. Mr.. Eames played musical
idioms TO illustrate thunder. the harp.
the drum. the trumpet. the emotion of
longing. of envy and OF love. The COM
poser Wagner used the idlomatic form
more than any other. His style cx-
pressed steadiness and solidity Mr..
Eames discussed the difficulties en-
ccuntered by the earliest composers Of
note who wanted to paint elaborate
colorful musical pictures. but had no
instrument except the clavichord
primitive pianoforte). Tho effort WAS
as different as trying to depict a rain
bow in black and white.
Mr.. Eames' performance was most
acceptable, his text, instructive TO an
unusual degree and his ability as a
pianist of high rank demonstrated.
He rendered the following program,
and in addition delighted his audience
with Moorish Rhapsodies." by G.. z.
Moor; "Pastorale." by Mozart: Rev
olutionary Etude," by Chopin; and a
minuet by Paderewski. The latter was
one Of his best numbers, and was de-
seryedly encored.
Folk dances Of the Oricntals Slays.
Norwegions and American Indians.

arranged BY Burning.
Chaconne-Bach (arranged for left
hand alone by Brahms).

"well, I'm as sorry for Jack as

can't help feeling relieved that our
troubles are over with this dreadful
punishment for Jack, Wessner safe in
jail and warrants out for the others.
Jack knew the swamp better than
anyone about here. When he found
there were two companies trying to
lease he wanted to stand In with the
one from which he could realize the
most. Even then he had trees marked
here that he was trying to dispose OF.
/ think his sole intention in forcing
me to discharge him from my gang
was to come up here and try to steal
timber. We had no idea when we took
the lease what gold mine 1t was"
"That's exactly what Wessner said
that first day." said Freckles eagerly.
'That twas a gold mine He said
he didn't know where the marked
trees were, but he knew a man that
did, and If | would hold of and let
them get the marked ones there were

THAT'S what he said. SRA dozen.
He said they couldn't tell how the
grain Of all Of them would work up, OF
course, but they were all worth taking
out, and FIVE or six were real gold

so there must be nine more marked,
and several of them for being just
fine"

Whether we talk of higher education,
OF industrial education, or classical
education or scientific education, all
these things are OF less importance
than another kind Of education which
| mean now. | mean universal educa-
ton.
II used to be thought that II was
fine that a few families should get
their sons and daughters educated so
that they could keep ahead of the
rest of the world. No doubt some
people will be more able, more dill
gent, and more successful than
others. But the great doctrine Of
Christianity and the great doctrine Of
America is that every child should
have an equal chance. That is what
equal rights means, not that we shall
all go TO Congress, not that we shall
all be millionaireJ, but that we shall
all have a chance to develop what
Is in us and to taste of the music
and the reading and the sciences
and the history and the fresh high
thoughts that the world has now
produced.
And none of us need be afraid to
have our neighbor get his full and
inst share of education. An ignorant
neighbor is a curse TO the whole com
munity. If he lets the weeds go TO
seed on his farm some of those seed
will certainly blow over onto ours.
