ON TEE SPUR
or THE AOMENT
BY ROY K. MOULTON.
The Village Band.
Y ROY K MOULTON

When I was young and in my prime,
And that was back, oh yes, some time,
There wasn't anything so grand
AS our owr Silver Cornet band.
The uniforms had much gold braid,
And all the horses were afraid
The gay drum major wore a hat
That weighed ten pounds, yes, all of that
OF generous design twas built,
And loaded down with sparkling gilt.
His uniform was ShoweTed with gold
And cost a fortune, we were told;
he wore nice patent leather boots,
And kept step with the umpah toots;
And whirled a stick high in the air,
Which made the town folks cape and
stare.
The only things that you could hear
Wheneer our village band drew near,
Were two noise makers quite alone,
The bass drum and the slide trombone.
They drowned out every other sound
And could be heard for miles around,
The music wasn't very grand;
The clothes were what made up the band.
They made pretty sight and neat
When they came marching down Main
street.
We said: They're loolkin' great, by gum,
Our town is surely goin some.''
They handed us a lot of thrills
When they pulled off their fancy drills
And countermarched and made the square,
You couldn't beat 'em anywhere,
The bands we had back in that day
Could do most anything but play.

KANSAS CONAENT

BENEFITS OF AN INTERURBAN.
There was time, and it is not so
very long ago, when it was believed
to be impossible to publish a maya
zine at a profit with a subscription
price of less than four dollars a year.
But some bold publisher conceived the
notion that by making little cheaper
book and selling it at price which
nearly everybody could afford to pay
a circulation could be obtained which
would make the venture profitable.
The man who thought of that first
made a fortune, and several who fol-
lowed after him made fortunes also.
Well, the interurban railroad is to
the ordinary steam road what the
cheap magazine Is to the old standard
publications. The idea upon which II
is constructed is that a road built at
less expense than is involved in the
construction of the standard roads,
upon which instead of a dozen cars
run once a day there will be one car
run IL or "a times a day, enough moro
passengers would be carried to make
the venture a profitable one. And
that theory has worked out in prac-
tice. All over the eastern states and
are traction systems spreading like
net through all the country neighbor-
hoods, and without exception, SO far
as we know, where they have been
well managed they have been profit
able.
To the people the great advantage
of the roads is the frequency with
which cars are run and the fact that
they land their passengers right in the
heart of the towns they wish to visit.

BUST THE TRUST.

The action of the Irvine trust in
blocking the efforts of the state to
buy new machinery for making Irvine
is but another evidence of the neces-
sity for wiping out the trusts. 1t ap-
pears to us that this is very short
sighted policy on the part of the trust.
1t will enable them to put up the
price of their product for this season,
but it will enrage the people of the
country to such an extent that many
states are apt to follow the example
of Kansas and erect plants in their
prisons, making the competition with
the trust so strong that their profits
will reach the vanishing point. 1t will
be a case of greed overreaching itself.

BURNS LOVERS INDIGNANT
Legal Way May Be Found to
Keep Sold MSS. in England.
- Cable 10 The TrIbune.

London. July 2S.-There may be
strange developments over the sale by
the directors of the Liverpool Athe-
naum Of the famous Glenriddel manu-
scripts Of Burns poems TO an American
for $4,000. In Scotland much indig-
nation is expressed at the transaction
end it is asserted that had the directors
even hinted that the manuscripts were
for sale the money would have been
forthcoming at once TO keep them in
this country.
According to J. c. Ewing. one of
Scotland's greatest authorities on
Burns, when it was arranged for DR..
Currie to write the life Of the poet and
edit his works Burns's widow gave DR..
Currie all the papers on loan. The
work was published in four volumes,
but DR.. Currie, it appears, did not re-
turn the papers 10 Mrs. Burns, but re-
tained them in his possession. At his
death, in 1905. the papers passed TO his
sen. Wallace Currie, whose widow pre-
scntcd them to the Liverpool Athe-
naum with the manuscripts.
1t is suggested that the question be
raised if the Curries had any right 70
the manuscripts. The direct descend
ant OF Burns and the heir TO any OF
his property is Miss Annie Burns
Burns. who resides at Cheltenhau4
with her niece, Mrs. Margaret Co..
stance Burns Hutchinson. Miss Burns
It is contended in Scotland has a legal
claim 10 the manuscripts which the
Liverpool directors sold.
The Burns Federation and the Burns
Club Of the United Kingdom would pro-
vide the necessary funds for making
good the claim, but up to the present
Miss Burns Burns has not declared her
intentions,
