Fool That Drops the Match.

1t has been said that anywhere
The biggest fool afloat
is ne who makes rocking chair
OF some one else's boat;
But equal with him in the race,
The eggs Of woe to hatch
Is, of unknown or known disgrace
The fool that drops the match.
What list to him if, in his haste
A fragrant weed to try,
The folds of woman's pride and taste
Hang desperately nigh?
What If precious life recede
With f1ame.enhanced dispatch?
He did not do the shameful deed;
He only dropped match.
What list to him if stores of wealth
In flame may disappear
Or friends that walked in joy and
health
May nevermore come near?
What If explosions upward spring,
A hundred lives to snatch?
He didn't do much of anything;
He only dropped match.

You'll learn the lesson ere you're

That careaessness is crime.
But when your future home you view
And lift its red hot latch,
No matter then how often you
May drop the lighted match!

"Hill work?" replied the demon

the new car carefully. "Hill work?
Why, that's our strong point, Mr.. Stig-

ENCOURAGING IRISH MUSIC
81 A PRACTICAL METHOD 81

| they since then developed the habit
of going for Irish music to those who
preserve 1.-THE country singers, the
pipers, the f1ddlers? If they have,
| how comes it that a barley, or a
Hardebeck, or Grattan Flood stands
out such a glazing exception to the
general body? If they have, how
comes it that those to whom none can
deny the right to know and to say
what Is Irish music have to confess
that those most highly lauded as
Irish musicians and Irish artists are
often those who know least of Irish
music?
But there is one body which from
Its very inception saw that the true
way to encourage Irish music was to
encourage those who still possessed
1t. To gather them together. To APP
plaud them. To incite others to learn
from them. To assist those Of them
who needed assistance. At every Feis
and social gathering held under the
auspices of the Gaelic League the
Irish musician, be he singer or piper
or fiddler, has found welcome and
an honored place. He has found that
there are others who know, what he
has always known, that he possesses
something of priceless value, some
thing which not "all the Kings horses
and all the Kings men" could recov-
! err were he to fail to pass it on: and
the knowledge has made him strong
1t has brought him out, unafraid
from the background to which he has
been SO long relegated, and it has
nerved him and those who think with
him to insist on a hearing for Irish
music in it's own country.
At the Oireachtas, the annual Fes-
tival Of the Gaelic League, which will
be held this year in Dublin in the first
week of July, Irish music gets a
unique hearing. Unique because nc

the kindred music Of Scotland o,
