HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM
But He Could Tell Folks at Home
That He Had Seen Exhibits in
Art Museum, Anyway.

He was little and bent and aged and
a queer old felt hat Topped about his
ears. But his eyes were bright and
his chin stuck out at an aggressive
angle.
He evidently was on the home
stretch through the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art. He stood gazing with
puzzled expression at Venus de Milo.
Then he passed on to a piece of fine
art, a pair Of sculptured legs which
apparently were speeding through mid
air for no reason at all and with no
body to support. After gazing at these
for some time the little man from Hi
HOller or some such point scratched
his head, then turned and made bee
line for the outside door, a relieved
expression on his face.

When Silence Is Golden

When you don't know, keep silence.
On such occasions silence is golden.
The man who cannot control himself
is not q free man. He is the sport Of
every wind that blows. He is for some
thing when he has just talked with
man who is for it. He is quite as
strongly against 1t after listening to
one who is against It, and will be just
as ready to change again under some
other persons influence. His opinion
is valueless because 1t is never his own.
1t is well to think carefully of sub
dect before expressing an opinion on It.
DO not allow yourself to be Influenced
by specious reasoning, still less by talk
in which there is no reason. The
more important the subject, the more
need of MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Man With the Hoe.

In the poem that caught general at
tentiOn a few years ago the man with
the hoe was presented as a stunted OBJ
ject, a pathetic failure, without re-
ward for ceaseless hard work, a crea-
ture who never had a chance to know
the Joy of living. 1t was false note
at the time, but suggested a subject
worthy Of thought.
The national secretary of agricul-
ture has reviewed the food situation
and he declares: "The farmer who
makes five bushels of grain grow
where three grew before contributes
as much to victory and the future peace
and security Of the world as any man
in the trenches" So runs the argu-
ment everywhere in a world crisis in
which energetic, practical action is
grim necessity. A danger must be
overcome lest ii overcome civilization.
The real man with the hoe is now in
evidence.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

SPAIN FULL OF MUSIC NOW
Bands Of Hungarian cypsles Fled
From France at Beginning of
War TO Avoid lnternment.

Spain is filed with music. At near
ly any hour Of night or day one car
hear the twanging and twinging Of
musical instruments. The country Is
overrun by orchestras Of Hungarian
gypsies.
These bands are among the most fa.
nous in Europe. They usually are To-
Gated at Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice and
other centers Of gay life. When the
war began these players, being Hun
garians, had to get out of France or
be interned as enemies. If they had
returned to Hungary they would have
had to put rifles on their shoulders in
place OF violins. so they all migrated
into Spain, filling the country with
music.
Spain already had its share Of gyp-
sizes, relics of the days Of the Moors.
These greeted the newcomers with
open arms. They play together and
often hold grand entertainments, at
which one of the Hungarian gypsy
bands play, an Austrian-POlish gypsy
sings and a Spanish gypsy dances.
Pastor Imperio, the fiery queen of the
Spanish gypsies who married the king
of the bull fighters, Guyio, is one Of
the star dancers.
1t is said the weird, Oriental strains
Of the Eastern gypsies combining with
the wild tOreador music of the Span
ards makes strange but pleasing
music. A few bars of American rag
lime is introduced now and then to
yive dash TO the dancing of the tango
md one-step. This medley of music is
leard everywhere, at entertainments,
heaters, hotels, concert halls and even
n the streets, for Spain is crowded |
With these wandering players.

Americanism.

That In us which more distinctly
than anything else we can call Ameri-
canism-our faith in humanity, our
love Of equality. One cannot claim
that Americans of English origin are
alone the repositories of this belief,
this passion. The ideal Amer
lea, which is the only real America,
is not in the keeping of any one race /;
her destinies are too large for that
custom; the English race is only one
of many races with which her future
rests.-William Dean Howells.
