No More of This.

There was a very undesirable
man in town Saturday afternoon
and evening. He followed at least
three different ladies who were
alone and one of them is almost a
nervous wreck from the fright. The
descriptions given of the man who
followed each of these ladies is very
similar, indicating that it was the
same man. He went so far as to
catch one woman in his arms. If
the man is not right mentally he
should be placed in a hospital
where he cannot brighten other
women. If he was drunk or the
act was one of pure cussedness he
deserves severe punishment. In
any event he must not attempt the
same thing again.

1t Might Be Worse.

Hello, old chap, how's things with
you? Now, why that friendless
look? Has the best girl you loved
turned out untrue, or somess close
friend turned crook? You look as
solemn as the grave, and Gloom's
your middle name; are you Dame
Sorrows humble slave, with your
great big manly frame. Has the
sheriff auctioned off your stuff and
put ybu in the street or some cool
stranger run bluff and made you
stand the treat? Put off that grave
yard"look awhile and greet folks
with grin-that kind Of face is
out of style and deemed just now a
sin. Put on a cheerful air awhile
cen though you are dead broke; put
on your face a winning smile and
treat it as a joke. If the world be-
lieVeS you are down and ont it'll
get your goat without a doubt, and
first you know you'Il be in a hearse
and they'll lay you low with a Scrip
ture verse. Greet every man with
a welcome hand and hum a merry
song, and show the bunch you've
got the sand though everything
goes wrong The man who wins is
the cheerful cuss and not the guy
that's blue, it is 10 use to fret and
fuss and get in a do6Gone stew.
Cheer up, old sport, and play the
game as well as you possibly can
for the chap who gets a grip on
fame is the happy, cheerful man.
Remember that though the sun
don't shine and pour its gold on
you, the moon is almost just as fine
and silver is current, too. Cheer
up, old scout, don't kick and curse
and lay it ALL on luck of course, it's
bad but it might be worse and you'll
win if you have the pluck. Don't
frown and scowl at every one and
grumble at your fate; the game is
young and not near done; just smile
and play it straight. -Ikeshuma.

Brass Band.

A brass band is a large number
of disturbances merged into one
harmonious and jambagsome
whole.
Nothing illustrates more wildly
the benefits OF union. A trombone
played alone on the streets would
be nuisance. A cOrnet is a crime
against an entire neighbOrhood. No
one would 60 4 feet to hear a bass
drum by itself unless there was a
chance to kick it in People 90 out
of their way to throw bricks at a
clarionet when it is in full cry alone
Yet when these instruments are all
played together in a band with a
drum major attachment business
suspends, windows open to catch
the divine melody and small boys
follow the players from Main street
until past dinner time.
A brass band is one of our most
useful institutions. Without brass
bands we could not have circuses
presidential inaugurations or large
funerals, and politicals campaigns
would be sadly crippled. A stree
parade without brass band would
be as aimless and melancholy as {
garter snake without a head. Am
bition without brass bands would
die, for what would be the use o.
glory if there were no brass band tC
welcome the successful candidate
back to his native town?
Brass bands are of six grades
good, bad, uncomfortable. horrible
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1913-02-06

atrocious and worse. There are only
few of the first grade, but almost
every small town has band of the
sixth grade. 1t is composed of
earnest young musicians who meet
in a lodge hall every Saturday
night and practice while the inhab-
itants stuff cracks in the doors aud
windows and put on tight shoes to
divert their minds. Many a time
death has paused over a small town
to take toll, but as he has listened
to a 14fragmennt band rolling
through Poet and Peasant" in a
heavy sea, the comets four beats in
the lead with the clarionets and alto
horns catching up fast and the bass
horn fast on a bar and sending up
distress signals, he has shuddered
and passed on.
No one would object to band
practice, because there can be no
good bands unless the closed season
on bad bands is religiousIy observ.
ed. But the scale of prices for band
is not managed right. 1t is all ridht
for a band to charge $50 per PER
Torrance after it has learned to
play unanimously in one key Bur
before that time the citizyus q ,he
town in which it practice, should
be allowed to charged 25 cents per
practice. This would stop the
steady loss of population ia the
small towns and would stop the
drift to the cities to marked de.
