Playing the Piano.


 Millions of people play the piano Few people listen to them. Why is that? Let me remind you of little story. One summer Joseph Jefferson. the dearly beloved old actor, spent part Of his holiday near lonely little village. Early on Sunday morning ha met the clergyman of the place. Church and stage instantly became friendly and Jeffsrson was asked whether be would care to read a part of the service. He consented to read the Lords Prayer. After the service the white haared clergyman shook his hand Tears were in his eyes as he said. "Ah, Mir. Jeferson. you ought to have entered the churchr' .Why ?. asked the great actor. Because what you read sinks into the hearts of your hearers. thought had never heard the Lords Prayer before, you read it SC beaatifuIly.. 'ewell.. said the mod est old actor, 'syou know, don't you, that hardly one person in a million Is ever rightly taught to read"
 Similarly. few people are ever right ly taught to play. That is why. per haps, so few care to listen to the av- craze player.-Woman,s World

London, June 16-Never before
have such precautions been taken TO
guard members of the royal family
from the suffragettes as was taken
today at the Ascot race course. The
opening of the leading society race
meeting found more than 1000 Lon
don police and hundreds of detectives
from Scotland Yard assembled on the
historic course as reinforcements for
the regular Berkshire county police
force, which had been modified in
full strength The six mile route
from Windsor Castle to the course
was lined all the way by policemen.
The militants, in spite of the
queens threat to cancel the rest of
the seasons social engagements, show
ed themselves more determined than
ever to gain publicity for their cause
by attacking the king.
The arrangements for guarding the
entrance to the royal enclosure on the
race course were more stringent than
ever. Every applicant for a ticket
had to be vouched for by some re-
sponsible official.
The track was closely guarded and
there were triple rails to prevent any
unauthorized persons from reaching
it. For several days and nights men
accompanied by watch dogs have pa
trolled the course and alarm guns
have been placed in position around
the stands and lawn.
