WALTON ON BIRDS SONGS
Famous Author Of 1.-THE compIeat
Angler" Appreciated Music Of
His Feathered Friends,

At first the lark, when she means to
rejoice. to cheer herself. and those
that hear her, she then quits the earth
and sings Is she ascends higher into
the air; and having ended her heaven
ly employment, grows then mute and
sad, to think she must descend to the
dull earth. which she would not touch
but for necessity. Now do the black
bird and the throssel, with their melo-
dious voices, bid welcome to the cheer
full spring, and In their fixed mouths
MARBLE forth such ditties az no art or
instrument can reach to. Nay. the
smaller birds do the like In their par
ticular seasons; as. namely. the
laverock. the titlark. the little linnet
and the honest robin. that loves man
kind, both alive and dead. But the
nightingale. another Of my airy crea-
lures, breathes such sweet. loud music
out of her little instrumental throat
that 1t might make mankind think
miracles are not ceased. He that at
midnight. when tho very laborer sleeps
securely, should hear-as have very
often-the clear airs, the sweet
descants, tho natural rising and fall
ing, the doubling and Rebuilding of
her voice, might well DO lifted above
earth and say:
Lord. what music hast thou pro-
vided for the saints in heaven. when
thou affordsst to bad men such music
upon earth!"-Izaak Walton's "The

seldom II ever do the Hollanders OF
the Dutch communities of Iowa return
to live In The Netherlands. After
years OF prosperity In America some
immigrants go back for few months
stay. or perhaps for a winters visit
with friends and relatives In the old
home, but those who expect to live out
their days in Holland find themselves
quickly disiliusioned; they are happy
to escape from life which CRATES on
them with Its pronounced social ranks.
A renewal Of their acquaintance with
social conditions In the fatherland con-
vinces them that western America
with It's ideas Of equality Is prefer
able to a poor mans wretched lot in
Holland. The Hollanders who have
visited their people in Europe have
been the means of carrying American
enthusiasm with them and they have
frequently conducted Dutch families to
Iowa. Some years ago a Sioux county
visitor in Holland returned home with
six families of from five to eight chill
dren each."-From volume on THE

LOW TONES ARE 4 sEDATIvE
Pitch the Voice Deep When Under
Nervous Tension and Sef-control
10 Gained.

An excellent sedative for nervous
excitement is found in using the voice
at It's lowest comfortable key. Imme-
date relief from suffering is often
obtained by dropping the voice from a
high pitch to lower tone. Teachers
whose pupils become restless and un-
ruly as they themselves grow tired
and nervous will find that a low
pitched, quiet tone will relieve their
own nervous tension, and prove Won
derfully quieting to their pupils.
This simple expedient Is also use
full when you are trying to control OF
prevent weeping. There are times
when a person fears to talk lest he
break down and cry, yet must answer q
question or carry on conversation.
Again, the deep lower tones of the
voice, Joined to slow. deep breathing,
come to the rescue. and self.control Ia
gained.
In any situation where one must
struggle for selfpossession, the low
pitched voice. with its impression Of
poise and self.confldence, is q wonder
full aid. Even under ordinary circum-
stances the lower register of the speak
ing voice is richer and more musical.

Elnora removed hee hat. There waa
NO place to put It. 10 she carried Il n
her hand. She looked infnitely bet
ter without 1t. After several Efforts
she 1t last opened the door and. STEP
ping inside, faced q smaller and more
concentrated battery Of eyes.
''Be seated" said the professor in
charge Of the class. and then. because
he saw Elnora was desperately EN-.
barrassed. he proceeded to lend her
book and to ask her II she had studied
algebra. She said she had a little. but
not the same book they were using.
He asked her If she felt that she could
do the work they were beginning. and
she said she did.
That was how 1t happened that three
minutes after entering the room she
was compelled to take her place at the
blackboard beside the girl Of the hall.
whose flushed face and angry eyes
avoided meeting Elnora's. Being COM
PEELED to concentrate ON her PROPOSE
ton, she forgot herself. When the pro-
lessor asked that all pupils sign their
work she firmly wrote "Elnora Com.
stock" under her demonstration. Then
she took her seat and waited with
white lips and trembling limbs as one
after another the professor called the
names ON the board, while their own
crs arose and explained their PROPOSE
lions or flunked il they had not found
q correct solution. She was so eager
10 catch their forms Of expression and
prepare herself for her recitation that
she never took her eyes from the work
on the board until clearly and distinct
" "ElnOra Cornstock'' called the pro-
lessor.
The dazed girl stared ut the board.
One tiny curl added to the top of the
first curve Of the IN" in her name had
transformed 1t from a good old Eng
lish patronymic that any girl might
bear proudly to Cornstock. Elnora
stared speechless. When and how did
it happen? She could feel the wave Of
smothered laughter in the air around
her. A rush Of anger turned her face
scarlet and her soul sick. A hot an
swer was on her lips. The voice Of the
professor addressed her straightfy.
''rhis proposition seems to be beauti-
fully demonstrated. Miss Cornstalk. +"
he said. Surely you can tell US how
you did it."
That word Of praise saved her. She
was tall. straight and handsome US she
arose.
"Of course I can explain my work. "
she said in natural tones. What !
can't explain is how happened to be

quirsd the processes.
II have decided on my course" re-
Piled Elnora; II do not know who to
ask for my books"
Ask the professor was bewildered.
II understood the books were fur
nished," faltered Elnora.
"Only to those bringing an order
from tho township trustee" replied the
professor.
"No! Oh, nor cried Elnora. II will
get them tomorrow" and gripped her
desk for support. for she knew that
was not true. -Four books. ranging
perhaps at dollar and half apiece!
Would her mother get them? OF
course she would not, could not
Did not Elnora know the story BY
heart? There was enough land, but no
one to do clearing and farm. Tax on
all those acres. recently the new gravel
road tax added, the expense Of living
and only the work Of two women to
meet all Of It. She was insane to think
she could come to the city to school.
Her mother had been right. The girl
decided that II only she lived to get
home she would stay there and lead
any sort Of life to avoid more of this
torture. Bad as what she wished to
escape had been, it was nothing ike
this. She never could live down the
movement that went through the class
when she inadvertently revealed the
fact that she had expected her books
to be furnished. Her mother would
not get them. That settled the Ques-
ton.
But the end Of misery is never In a
hurry to come, for before the day was
over the superintendent entered the
room and explained that pupils from
the country were charged tuition Of
$50 year. That really was the end.
Previously Elnora had canvassed 4
dozen wild plans for securing the mon
ey for books ranging all the way from
Offering to wash the superintendent
dishes to breaking into the bank. This
additional expense made the thing 50
wildly impossible there was nothing to
do but hold up her head until she was
out Of sight.
