The Carionet
.HE clarionet IS the instrumen.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of at Good Old SiWasb.5

THE clarionet is the instrument
which supplies the embroidery
in brass band music
The careful listener to g brass band
in full eruption viii detect a querulous
instrument running up and down the
scale like a squirrel chasing himself
around a tree This is the claTionet. 1t
is the most agile of instruments and can
climb two Oetaves up the scale and tdr-
key trot back while the bass horn IS
grunting twice.
The clarionet consists of a wooden
tube full of scientifically located holes.
1t also las a mouthpiece with a reed
in it. To operate the clarionet, the per
former swallows as much of this mouth
piece as possible, cover q holes with
his ten fingers and thumbs. and then
blows from the corner of Main and Mar
ket streets until 9-15 p. m.
ClaTiOnet playing does not require
vast lungs. but the PLAYER must have
great quantities of intelligent fingers.
Every time he lifts a finger he allows
a note to escape into tn open air and
the man who Is inclined to stutter with
his index finger would very quickly fill
an overture full of uncaIled-f for and
egregious tones. A good clarionet play
er can produce so notes a minute for
half an hour at a time before his finger

All aldermen answered to the roll
call last night except Messrs. McDUf-
fie and Btunner. DR.. Race reported
that only one case Of smallpox had ap-
peared in the last y days and that the
national quarantine was a great help.
Alderman Scott moved that the mayor
be instructed TO purchase from Mai
Hammett the block of ground for the
Mexican school in the second ward
This was seconded by Mr.. Burton 1t
was agreed to open the bids for the
cells for the new city jail Five bids
from various companies were opened,

Success In Life
By walt Mason.

It's easy to be a success, as thousands
OF winners confess; no mans so OBJ
scure or unlucky OF poor that he can't
be winner. L guess. And success, Mr..
Man, doesn't mean a roll that would
sJagger a queen, or some gems of your
own, or palace of stone. or wagon
that burns gasoline. A mans a success,
though renOwn doesn't place on his fore
mead crown, if he paws as he goes, II
u true that he owes not a red in the
dod-gasted town. A mans a success If
ms wife finds comfort and pleasure in
lie; II she's glad and content that she
married a gent reluctant to organize
STRIFE. A mans a success if his kids
are Joyous as Katy H. Dds: if they're
handsome and neat, with good shoes or
their feet. and roses and things on their
lids. A mans a success if he tres to
be honest and kindly and wise; if he's
slow to repeat all the lies he NAV meet,
If he swats both the scandals and flies.
I know when old CATER Pete GRAY one
morning was taken away. BY Death,
lantern-iowled. the whole village howled,
and mOurned him for many a dav. Yet
he was so poor that he had but seldom
the half of a scad; he tried to do good in
such ways as he eould-he was a sue
cessful old lad!

HONOR no WHOM HONOR rs DUE.


HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
Editor FL PasO Herald:
In Sunday mornings paper appears
an account of a raid on poker games
by the police from which article one
would gather the idea that credit is
due to the police department for an
attempt to enforce the laws of the
state against gaming.
1t is credibly reported that the in
formation leading TO these raids was
secured by the present grand jury and
the police were acting under its direc-
ton and forced to take into custody a
Duncn OF gamblers who have been Oper-
atIng In this city for several months.
II TINS IS true the public should be
informed Of the true state Of affairs
and the credit for law enforcement Civ
en- to the grand jury and not to the
police department
Just why the police department has
been blind" to the fact that poker
games have been going on in the
various hotels and rOOming houses for
more than year is hard TO under
stand.
When The Herald gave a true ac-
count Of the situation a year ago the
city administration nearly threw a fit-'
and started public Investigation be-

came to a sudden end when police

executive committee. furnished the
grand jury much evidence and many
indictments were found; have there
been any prosecutions? On three
separate occasions the Citizens League
attorney called upon the mayor and
informed him where a well known
gambler was conducting a poker game.
three times the mayor seemed pleased
to receive the information; three times
assurances v ere given that the law
would be enforced: three times the
gambler moved to a new location.
three times the attorney reported to
the League no raid. no arrests no
prosecutions Let the mayor tell

Joints become overheated. Those who
have watched a bug eyed clarionetist
trying to keep up with the conductor
during q rendition of the second Hun
garian RapsOdie, and have noted the fur
tive way in which he attempts to snatch
a breath .everv other minute while play
ing a whole hat full of eight notes per
bar OF music, have gone away dazed and
impressed.
The clarionet sounds better by itself
than the cornet or the bass horn, but it
IS not loved for itself alone and Is never
allowed to mOnopolize the attention of
the audience at grand opera. Wagner
was particularly cruel to clariOnetists
and was never so happy as when writing
clauOnet parts which require the PLAYER
to waterlaeket his fingers and inhale
oxygen between acts.
A good clarionetist can make $40 a
week. but this only palliates his profess
slon--COpyrighted by George Matthew
