When Musicians Were Scarce.

In these days of conservatories and
music schools. when each house has its
piano or its organ. to say nothing Of
devOtees to the cornet, violin and ban
10, it seems strange to assert that there
ever was q time when musicians were
In demand, yet such was really the
case. "In the fifteenth century," says
Henry NJ. Brooks In his "Olden Time
Music" musicians were so scarce In
England that they were impressed by
government order, as In more recent
times seamen had to suffer In like
manner. Henry VIII. also issued war
rants for the impressment Of children
with good voices for the choirs of the
cathedrals, and in EliZabeth's time
children with the proper qualification
for her majesty's choirs were taken
from their parents without any com
%pensation being given to the latter"

No Difference.

1t was q breezy morning, and the city

ferred the window down for ventila-

east winds" I.
Il can't stand this stuffy herring
box" chortled the crusty man, tugging
the strap and letting the window drop
for the fourth time.
Nor I these Siberian blasts that
only conyicts could stand" rejoined
the wheeler. Don't you know it's an
old adage that when the wind is In
the east it's neither fit for me nor

"Ha, ha" laughed the crusty man,
appealing to the passengers to laugh
also. Here's a man who doesn't know
that old proverb. Why, sir. the last

Fun FOR the Elephants.

A queer elephant yarn is told by the
captain of u trading steamboat. On
one occasion he had on board a cargo
Of forty elephants. The vessel was
anchored in a perfectly smooth sea off
the coast of Zanzibar, but to the great
surprise Of the passengers the steamer
began to roll. At first they supposed
the motion to be caused by the ground
swell, but when the motion kept in
creasing there was general alarm, and
the captain instigated an investiga-
ton. Then it was revealed that the
elephants had In some way found that
by swaying to and fro all together
a rocking motion was produced that
seemed to please them immensely. So
the great heads and bodies rolled and
swung in unison until the steamer,
which had no OTHER cargo and rode
lightly, was In imminent danger Of
rolling clean over. The attendants
hurried down into their hold and. after
a great deal OF shouting and humping,
managed to stop the dangerous muse
ment.

OF one phase of his life Jokai, the
Hungarian novelist, wrote In disgust:
WELL, confess 1t / must l have a
sweetheart, for whose sake I have been
faithless not only TO my wife. but to
my muse also-a sweetheart who has
appropriated my best ideas and whose
slave I was and still am. Often have

rushed blindly into misfortune to please
her. For her sake | have patiently en-
dured insult. ridicule and Reproduction;
for her sake | have staked life and

BREAD BOX USED FOR CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS.

New York, Oct. "a bread box
stares in the face of commuters who
use the Hudson Terminal Building
station OF the Jersey tube, New York
city-a bread box with a TRANCE de-
vice. 1t is designed to remind trav-
oilers Of the Democratic party's de-
sire to finance the Wilson campaign
by popular subscription instead Df
by contributions from large corpor-
atoms.
The strange device printed on the
side of the bread box turned to pub
lie gaze reads:
Coin contributions can conquer
corporation-controlled corruption
lists. CONTRIBUTE! !"
The Jersey tube booth has attract
ed much attention and a gratifying
financial return since it was opened
on Tuesday morning. From s in the
morning until IL at night a nan in
charge hands out campaign litera-
.ture and explains the plan Of the
Contributors National Wilson and
Marshall League to engage the vo-
ter's dollars in the work which has
been largely done by corporation
money in recent campaigns.
1t is the purpose of the league to
open another similar booth in the So
called Tariff Chamber of Horrors on
Union Square, where the daily thou
sands who visit that temple may have
a chance to help out.

PREPARING FOR THE
HARVEST JUBILEE
Special Exhibits Of Agricultural Hor-
ticultural and General Farm Pro-
duets.
Special to The Herald.

OPCOAdl W 1uC IlcI dlU.
San Antonio, Oct. Exhibits Of
agricultural, horticultural and gen.
eral farm products from every coun-
ty in Southwest Texas, most of the
counties in West Texas and many
other counties in various parts of
Texas will be the backbone of the
Harvest Jubilee, to be held in San
Antonio, October, 1927. Every other
exhibit is receiving a large share Of
attention, but the greatest amount
OF work is being given to the inter
est upon which Southwest Texas de-
ponds, more than any other, for its
prosperity and progress. In each
county local leaders have formed an
association to gather the exhibit for
efforts each county will get the adj
vertising benefit the exhibit will give
to each and they and members of
their families and the local associ-
ated with each and members of their
families will be specially entertain
ed in San Antonio by the Harvest
Jubilee directors assisted by the lead
ing club women Of the city. 1t will
be an opportunity for the people Of
each city and county to get better
acquainted with each other and
should lead to a better understanding
between them.
After the Jubilee the horticultural
and agricultural exhibits will be SCI
entifically treated and prepared for
a permanent exhibit. Not only will
this be of interest at all times to
persons visiting the city, but in the
years to come it will form a splen-
did basis for comparison between
the agricultural products Of now and
then
Two attractive features Of the
Harvest Jubilee will be the German
Village and the Mexican village. Each
will have booths modelled on native
Village lines where articles and food
peculiar to those countries will be
sold. Music, national dances and 9TH
er interesting features will make
these villages popular places for all
visitors.
Various free attractions will be
provided during the Jubilee, aero
batic teams, field sports and band
concerts. The three opening days,
German Day, Saturday Oct. 10; Press
Day, Sunday, Oct. 20 and Children's
Day, Monday, Oct. q, which will be
enlivened by Roman Chariot races,
a big football game and other events
will be among the most enjoyable
of the celebration.
