TWO NEW HATS.
The Scheme That Won Them and the
Way 1t Was Worked.


A man who used to be in politics and
was a constant borrower found him
self in need of a new hat, but he
couldn't find anybody who would lend
him q cent.
Finally he went to an acquaintance
and said
II want to borrow $50 for FIVE min

lend me the fifty and you needn't lei

WHOSE BUSINESS ISL?

Ordinary people will he at loss
TO understand why all this bother
over whether the peoi lie shall be
allowed to express their views by
ballot on popular question that
engages a good part of the thought
nf the public, and occupies much
space in public discussions. In a
popular government if there is a
very general demand for an oppor-
tunity to take public sense on a
public question, who is there that
has the moral right to throttle this
public expression?
One might naturally suppose if
could imagine himself transported,
that he was in Il country where
everything that comes to the public
was by way of condescention on
the part of an authority higher
than the people. Is it so dagger
Gus to give the people little rein
that the supposed servants of the
people, elected ty popular vote,
should find it necessary to CT RIB
the masses for fear they should,
like a child, harm themselves?
Suppose the people should vote
out liquor and it should prove to
be bad thing after all, whose bus
mess is it but the people themselves

they can stand it what right have

One of the most familiar quota
lions from the Bible which are not
to be found there upon research Is
"the lion lying down with the lamb"
The spirit Of the reference is correct
enough. but turn up the passage iG
Isaiah and you will find: 1.-The wolf
also shall dwell with the lamb, and
the leopard shall lie down with the

THE WORD MEL0DRAMA.
Originally Meant Play In Which Mu-
sic Was Introduced.

Originally Meant a Play In Which Mu-
sic Was Introduced.
Nowadays "melodrama" is in general
use as denoting a purely sensational
play, with an all but impossible hero.
heroine and villain among the charac-
tiers represented. Formerly the word
kept more closely in its Specification to
actual derivation. "Melodrama" Is
compounded Of the Greek words
melos, a song, and drama, an action.
a play, and was applied to two sorts
of performances when 1t first came
into use.
1t signified a play, generally OF the
romantic school, in which the dialogue
was frequently relieved by music
sometimes of an Incidental and some
times of purely dramatic character.
On the strength of his "Pygmalion" j.
J. Rousseau is credited with the In
vention of this style. Some of the so
called English operas of the older
school, such as the once famous BEG
gar's Opera" and the once popular mo
Song, No SUPPER" are in reality true
melodramas.
In the second place "melodrama"
was applied to peculiar kind of the
atrical composition in which the actor
recited his part in an ordinary speak
ing voice, while the orchestra played
a more or less elaborate accompani-
ment appropriate to the situation and
calculated to bring its salient features
into the highest possible relief. The
merit of the invention of this descrip
ton of meodrama belongs to George
Benda, who used it with striking ef-
feet in his "Ariadne auf NaXos," pro.
duced at Gotha In 1774.-London Globe.

yer will always see boys running
about, all day long, and, generally e,

an age when perennial authority is
relaxed, and, in most cases, the

their parents to grow up in igno-

of the lameness of the compulsory
