DUNN'S ANTIPATHY TO

Mason City la. April .. Friends OF
f.dw. q. Dunn in his home city cam
hot understand the opposition which
has seemingly sprung up between he
and Chairman Nick Reed. 1t Was gem
orally conceded that in the splendid
canvass Dunn was making for gov
ernor he had strong backing from
Chairman Reed and everything that
could be done was done for the pro
motion of the ticket When the cleo
ton was over and one day brought
news of the election of Dunn and the
next a reversal of this report. Dunn
and Reed We're in constant commun-
cation and the warmest Friendship
seemed to prevail. Ii is not known that
any trouble has arisen since and this
makes the position all the more un-
eXplainable. MIR Dunn will be home
from Washington this week.

Oh, come to the village pump, where
the graybeards sit and talk. concerning
the fatal dump, and the awful iabber-
wOek; mans foolish who works and
strives grim want from his home to
keep; for why should we men have wives,
II we still must SOW and reap? Oh, come
to the place of tears, where the failures
SIT and sigh, and throw a few useless
Jeers at the workers going by; let the
women work on at home, wash dishes ana
peel the spuds, and rinse through the
suds and foam q mountain of dirtv buds.
For why should a sane man wed and
take to his home a bride, if he knows
that the daily bread by him must be still
supphed2 Not his are the household
chores not his is the ak or loom; It's
his with the other bores to thrash out
Ihe country's doom; to sit by the old
morse trough, across from the Blue Front
barn, and there by the hour reel off his
Iln1usty and ancient warn. So come to
the place Of signs, and talk of the laws
we need. while your wife, with a sad
neart tries to furnish the children feed.
Oh, come to the village pump, where the
moldy graybeaTds yawn, and talk of the
1Hghtful slump our bulwarks have I'M
dergone; oh let us with language soil
the air till the day DEPARTS; and the

Bass Horns
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of Sat Good Old Siyyash.S

a BASS horn is a brass labyrinth
~ about five feet IN diameter
= through which it IS possible Tor
4 capacious man to respire in such a
manner as to be heard for half a mile on
a calm day.
A bass horn is a good deal ike some
politicians. 1t IS grand enough when
supported by. the entire organization,
but when it gets off by itself people
laugh at it and decline with great vigOr
to listen to its remarks.
The bass horn when skilfully operated
produces a series of nicely graduated
grunts at the lower end of the musical
scale which add richness and body to the
general effect. To do this the operator
must feed a small windstoTm into the
little end of the instrument while lug
cling it over uneven streets and around
corners, keeping step with the rest OF
the disturbers and reading his music
by the light of a Pickering torch held by
a boy who is having an animated quarrel
with two Jealous friends on the side
walk. All this keeps the bass hOTnist
occupied and prevents him from brood
in~ in idleness. Very few mahOuts of
bass horns 90 wrong OF indulge in vicious
habits while playing IN the band. They
do not have time to do So
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-01-31

The bass horn never travels in the
front rank of the band and Is seldom
called upon by the conductor to make
any remark bv itself. 1t usually travels
behind with the heavy baggage, but for
all that It is indispensable and greatly
beloved. If the bass hOlAs were to turn
the wrong corner and carry its performer
down a side street, the entire band
would come TO a full stop and music
would desert the air until the instru-
ment could be found and herded back
into place.
Playing the bass horn does not require
a deep. vigorous intellect. A pair of
versatile lips, bottOmless lungs and
broad, strong shoulders, which do not
gall easily, are more valuable. Bass
horn performers usually begin to prac-
tice during their careless youth and be-
fore they know it. the habit has them
in its awful clutches. Very few bass
horn players become president of the
United States, because at critical mo-
ments in their career they must coil
their instrument about their shoulders
and 90 forth into the cold world to blow
seven miles and six furlOngs of melody

Origin Of the Valentine
History in Obscurity, but Name
Comes From n Saint; Custom OF
Choosing Mates, Old.
Estancia. n. NJ. Jan. %. 1913.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
Would you kindly tell me through
the columns of your interesting paper
the origin of ST Valentines day, and
why missiVes are exchanged ours
truly, 1NQC1feER
and martyr of the third century about
whom little is known He is said to
have cured a blind daughter of Ger
tain Asterius. who had been charged
bv the emperor Claudius to win him
back to paganism, but who was thus
converted to Christianity. Valentine
was accor6Eagly Imprisoned, tortured
and finally beheaded-
1t is impossible to trace any con-
nection between his story and the cele-
bration afterWard connected with ms
day. February Il. 1t has been sug-
gested that this may be survival
with Christian sanction, of the ancient
Rcman festival of the Lupercalia. cele-
brated in the month of February. at
which it was customary to put the
names of young women into a DoS
from which they were drawn by the
men as chance directed
Valentines day was formerly cele-
brated in England, Scotland and d1f-
ferent parts of the continent by num-
Der of young fOlkS-maids and bache-
lcrs-assembling together and inscr1b-
ing upon little billets the names OF an
equal number of maids and bachelors
of their acquaintance, throwing them
into a box and drawing them, care be
ing taken that each should draw name
of the opposite sex. The person thus
Drawn became ones valentine. These
imaginary enga gements often became
real.
1t is probable that the custom Of
choosing valentines is a relic of that
nature religion which was undoubted-
T. the primitive form of religion in
northwestern Europe, and that it
srrung from a recognition of the pecu-
Iiarity of the season. Hence the eX-
PLANTATION that about this time of the
year the birds choose their mates, and
thus probably came the custom of the
Young men and maidens choosing val
ertines or special loving friends on
that day"

It's practice that makes perfect, not

No matter how fast a young man

Many a man puts his best foot for
