THE MIS- r.

There is ar old man in Idleville
Who never works and never will,
He lives On the side of the rocky hill,
In a little shack at the source of the
rill.
1t was whispered he a man did kill
And take from him a thousand dollar
bill.
The boys in little Idleville town
Would go from the top of the hillside
down,
Till they came to the old shack of
renown,
To spy on this miser, who was an ex-
clown.
They came down to this shack in the
dead of night,
And looked through his window by
the aid of his light,
And saw on the table a money sight.
They restrained themselves with all
their might
From breaking in and having a fight
Over the money that was not his by
right.
He put the money in a strong box,
And closed the lid and locked the
locks,
And came out with the shyness of a
fox,
And placed it beneath some granite
rocks.
The boys went home and told the cops
About the miser and his box.
The cops went out and looked under
rocks, .
And brought out the box and broke
the locks.
The cops thoughtsthe attempt was very
funny,
Because the box contained stage mon
ey.
They captured the miser, who was a
dummy,
For he was crazy and the capture was
funny.
The boys were laughed at along the
way,
And were leased by the cops all the
live-long day;
And after hat they had little to say,
Because they were the fools of the
day.

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years. study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one OF both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
Strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training fo young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

THE WOLF.

The flock was upon the distant hill
Eating grass on the banks of the rill,
By them sat their shepherd kind,
Who had nothing OF his genteel mind
Except the care of his woody flock,
AS he, sat Upon the big flat rock.
And from the woody mountain side
He saw a wolf with a dark, gray hide.
The wolf approached with a run, then
a creep,
And suddenly seized from flock, a
sheep.
1.-The wolf, the wolf" cried the shep-
herd bold,
And up did rise the shepherd dog old,
And did run and leap bound upon
bound
After the wolf like a hunting hound.
Then, the wolf did drop the stolen
sheep,
And did run away, leap upop leap.
But the dog did III and the wolf he
did catch,
With one grip the wolf he did dis
patch.
Honor that dog for a wolf he did kill,
A wolf that did terrify the flock on
the hill.

ECHOES FROM THE DIAMOND

written during the 1915 Worlds
Series.)
Where'er one goes, the lingo flows
Bonehead, bingle, jinx, and that;
With fouls, and flies, and muffs, and
ties,
And screamers, off the bat.
And dope, diverting, and disconcerting,
Gives food for thrills and chills;
The Sox, they say, have it tucked
away,
3r doubters back the Phils.
And Tvs out there, so debonair,
A quill in his trusty right;
With t'other, It's told, mid "braSos"
bold,
He speared one, in its flight. =
Of the Grant pill, the fate is still
Unwritten in the docket;
Did he toss it out, for another clout,
Or-stow it in his pocket.
Worth near a "v," It's said, 'twould be,
OF any fans good money;
He'd guard it tight, and like a knight,
Present it to his honey"
With colors waving, and smooth domes
Drawing
The fitful gusts of an autumn day;
With cries ascending, and peanuts
vending,
1t was in truth a fine display.
The President, too, with a smile that
grew,
Was there to keep the date;
And people stood, and tried to be good,
When he came through the gate
And by his side, was his famed bride,
Her eyes and cheeks aglow;
With winsome art, she played her part,
At that eventful show.

And now we wait, with breaths a-bate,
The die will soon be cast;
No rest thereIl be, on land or sea,
Till the banner sweeps the mast.
