The glories of our birth and

Are shadows, not substantial
things;
There is no armor against fate
Death lays his icy hand on
kings
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe
and spade.
The garlands wither on your
brow;
Then boast no more your
mighty deeds.
Upon deaths purple altar, now
See where the victor victim
bleeds!
All heads must come
To the cold tomb.
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the
dust

HER SIIDE--ANlD HIS
THE MAN WITH THE CIGAR
Ny ZOE BECKLEx

When David came home from his office after another one of those days" that try the soul with their emptiness Cora met him with eyes dancing. In her hearts of hearts there was more than shade of anxiety But at a time when Cora had to sup ply heart and cheer for two. anxiety was the last feeling likely to find ex- precision in her mannef.
 David, dear, I've found a profitable way of making use of my idle time during the day." she said with a good 6 attempt at gayety Tt occurred to me that I could do for the Work mems Cooperative Homes company the same sort of work I helped to do in Colony Park-helping design the woman's part of. a home. So I ap- piled to the president of the company and he has offered me a position with them at $35 a week. Isn't it wonder ful?"
 Her animation died before the si- lence that followed and the culver of pain that passed over Dayid's face. She might have known, Cora said wretchedly to herself, that David would take the matter tragicaliy. It would have been too good to be true if he had taken it in the light she did.
 David was no more conservative than the average husband. But he did not need to be to take the propo- sition of his wife's working for money as an affront to his pride as man and a husband. Most men, and most women, too, considered 1t a husbands duty to so support his wife so that she would not have to work for money. If any married woman, therefore. worked at gainful occupa- tion, the assumption was that the husband could not do the right thing by his wife.
 Without David saying a single word in remonstrance Cora knew every syllable of what David would have said if he could find it in him to speak in protest at such a time. But the look of pain, of haggard discour- agement, yes, and of profound hu- initiation, which etched his face with dark lines almost made Cora cry with sympathy for him.
 She realized now that she had put the proposition to him at the most cruel time possible At a time when he was representing himself daily with having failed in his duty to Cora as an efficient provider for her to broach the project of her going to work was to turn the knife in his flesh. Cora knew she had right on her side in every sense. But with the pain her beloved man suffered this was no time to insist on the justice of her posi-

 you may say now) is on the map music
 ally and artistically."
 "As accompanist of the Glee club" MT. Cathey continued: T feel that my position is an enviable one, because it is such splendid training and experience for young musician. It is my intention to be a concert pianist but at the same time [ want to qualify as an accompanist, as the two arts differ as widely as the an- tipodes Accompaniment playing is one of the fine arts today Take musicians of the calibre of Charles Gilbert Spross Frank LaForge, Harry Gilbert, Richard Epstein, and they could flood the market with their experiences as professional &C., companies to the greatest artists of the day.
 'The professional accompanyist must possess a finished technique, a vivid abil- ity to read at sight anything that is put before him, the ability to transpose read fly and a knowledge of foreign lan- guages," MT. Cathey said. "Of course, in our Glee club work the last named quail fication is not of real importance, as our songs are done in plain, every day Eng fish; that is one of the distinctive fea- lures of the Howard College Glee club. We have gotten away from the clap-trap, horse play work that characterizes most gie6 CIuDS, not that our programmes are exclusively classical, but that they are good Popular music is very different from horseplay. Music may be classical and yet not high-brow, and the main ob- feet of our Glee club is to please.
 "A competent and sympathetic accom- panist whether for the individual artist or the chorus is the greatest boon to Mir Cathey said. He can lead the performance to success, or else he can spoil it utterly. It is remarkable how singers look to their accompanist; they have come to realize the advantage of reliability, and the absolute harmony be- tween the singer and the player, which makes for that unity and smoothness which is so essential either in solo or en- semble work
 "Glee club work is very interesting" MT. Cathey said, "and I think Birming- ham has every reason to be proud of the Howard College club, for with its "A mem bers, as well as the chorus, making a total of 4S voices, it is doing some creditable work

 But, try as she would Cora could not dispel David's profound hunilia- ton. She saw that the damage had been done by her very suggestion. She felt almost guilty. She should have foreseen that David would react that way she told herself. It argued thoughtlessness or even stupidity on her part, was her accusation against herself. The truth was, however, that it was her impulse of gladness at something helpful she could do which had betrayed her.
 David was in no enviable mood the. next day as he sat in his office alone. He did not know what was keeping him from surrendering and humbly taking the first stop-gap job that of fered. So immersed was he in his bit ter rumination that, not until bulky form stood before nm, dld ne reallze he had a visitor.
 David looked up at large. red faced man clad in bright-colored raj ment of the prosperous politician type, a large black cigar protruding from the corner of a tobacco stained mouth.

 David knew. Rourke & Burke was the name of the corporation under the guise of which the political ring in power at the city hall was mulct- ing the city of millions of dollars. He nodded.
 MT. Temple, if you are the right man for us, as we think you may be, your future is assured as our ar chitect" Rourke spoke ponderously and leaned back to watch the strug- gle for composure on David's face

M AIR. JOHN T. CATHEY, who is the UWIl accompanist for the Howard 9V4 College Glee club, told me a lot of interesting things yesterday about the club.
 MT. Cathey is one of BirmIngham's tall ented and capable pianists; he studied at the New England conservatory, Boston, under one of the most popular and fin ished teachers of the day-Mr. Charles Dennee, whose splendid technique and fine musicianship is world famous; he studied harmony and theory with Mir Louis c. Elson; he stud jed a lot of other things at the conser- vatory that go toward making the ac- complished and thorough musician, and MT. Cathey reflects great credit upon himself and his tutors in the success he has made of himself as a teacher and pianist.
 This clever young man is the accom- panist for the Howard College G1ee club, which splendid organization, under the direction of MT. Robert Lawrence, will make it's initial bow to Birmingham mu- sic lovers this evening at the Jefferson theatre.
 MT. Lawrence and MT. Cathey have worked faithfully and increasingly in training the glee club and not satisfied with anything short of the very best, they have placed the standard high and on their tour this week to neighboring cities they have been complimented ex- travagantly upon the magnificent sue cess they have achieved.
 Mr. Cathey is as proud of the Glee clubs success as if it were his own, which indeed he considers 1t, for the Glee club resolves itself into a personal equation with him when discussing it's merits
 Do I think the Howard College Glee club will ever rank with the celebrated college clubs of the country?" MT. Cathey repeated my question, answering quickly: Tt ranks with them now in

many respects. must qualify that re- mark by saying that the material MT.
 Lawrence has had to work with is not of the finished musician type; he has taken beautiful voices entirely untrained and uncontrolled and converted them into re- markable vocal timber; he has cultivated an appreciation of really good music in the minds of students who never before had the opportunity of judging of good music; he has drilled and coached an ensemble of 24 voices into what regard as most finished and beautiful tonal quality, and the Howard College Glee
