A REAL SORROW

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
A wealthy woman who has lost $1,000
necklace imagines she has great sor-
row. Why, she doesn't know what sorrow
is. Did you ever see a shabbily dressed
mother trying to pull two poor shabby lit
tie tads away from the window of a can
dy store because she didn't have any
money to spend on them? That is sorrow.
And while the little tads may be broken
hearted. they will never know just how
badly the shabbily dressed mother feels.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE IDEAL.

IHE IDEAL.
Wherever the dream leads,
Follow we on,
Till the light of the sun fades
And the day is gone.
Till the parting word is said
And the tapers CLEAN,
Down dale and up hill,
Follow the dream.
When toll Is DER
And the shadows fall,
The dream that Is but a dream
Is fairest of all.

Paul of London a few years later, the de-
velopment and Improvement of moving
picture machines was rapid and constant.
and one of these, granted August l, 1897,
was the subject of a decision in the United
States court of appeals handed down late
in 1912, that Edison was not the pioneer
inventor of the moving picture machines,
but was the inventor of a special form of
camera used in making the photographs
on such moving films. In 1911, as described
in the Year Book of that year, the kline
macolor process, whereby moving pictures
were reproduced in their original colors
with striking verisimilitude of nature,
marked another advance. and in 1912 the
kinetophone of Edison, whereby moving
pictures were projected spontaneously
with the reproduction of appropriate sound
by the phonograph, represented further
practical achievement.
Mention should be made of the use of
the moving pictures to reproduce famous
current events. Thus in 1912 the Balkan
war, the construction of the Panama
canal, and other important circumstances
were shown widely throughout the civil
ized world, while explorers like Shackleton
and hunters like Paul Rainey exhibited
moving pictures that aroused compelling
interest in two continents. Pictures of
wild animals in their native haunts in
forest and jungle, often taken at great
personal rex to the operator, attracted
general as well as scientific interest. Bib :
lical events, and classical topics, such
as the siege of Troy, were reproduced
with care as to setting and costume.

Examinations should BE Thorough


Nearly every state has music teach
ers' association and two or three years
ago a good deal was said about the
importance of official examinations" SAID
layman who has taken much interest
in music. 1.-THE agitation started with one
of the northern associations.
"In some of the states there may be
state board to pass upon the qualifications
of would-be teachers, but of this | am
not informed In the states with which
am familiar there are no such boards
The necessity for thorough examinations
is obvious. In every large city there
are many good teachers, but there are
also many who make their living teach
ing without adequate equipment. I have
known teachers in more than one south
ern city who knew absolutely nothing
of theory: could not tell what key a
piece was written In could not anayze
a chord and who could scarcely give an
intelligent definition of counterpart.
I'm this country the standards of mu-
sic have been raised in recent years
concert audiences are much more dis
eliminating and only artistic perform
ances are applauded by men and women
who listen intelligently. This all goes
to show that there is sufficient interest
in music as a whole to Justify the state
IN taking steps toward efficiency exac-
tion on the part of those who make a
profession of music. u
Il am told that in New York and
other large cities the musicians union is
ri lot tn,
New York no one can be elected unless
upon examination he is found to have
acquired certain degree of musician
ship In addition to being able to perform
well on some instrument"

For the edfcation of Governor Colds
borough and his party 1000 terrapin
showed their heads above the surface
of their mud pond. 1t was not to see
the distinguished party that the terrapin
came to view. but to respond to the din
ner bell, which turned out to be a false
alarm. The demonstration occurred at
the terrapin farm of Tawes & Co. at
Crisfeld, Md. "If my husband were
here" said the absent watchman's wife,
''he would feed them for you, but just
to show you how they act will ring
the dinner bell" Then she picked up
several sleighbells on string and shook
them Immediately above the surface of
the mud there protruded some 1000 little
heads, making the pond look very much
like a bed of asparagus.

A widely-voiced protest against divid-
ing the Belmont estate in Washington
into building lots has revived the pro-
posal to have the government maintain
an official residence for the vice presi-
dent of the United States The proposi-
ton comes from Mrs. John A. Logan,
widow of the famous soldier and states
man, whose residence, now occupied by
Secretary of State William Jennings
Bryan, adjoins Belmont. A mass meeting
will be held to further plans for raising
$4,000 to obtain Gn option on the estate
until Congress can pass on the project
to purchase 1t for a vice presidential resi-
dence. Belmont is situated on q hill at
the junction of Florida avenue and Four
teenth street. well within the present lim-
its of the capital city. 1t was built by
the late A. L. Barber, president of the
Barber Asphalt company, and was sold
recently to a builder.
