Mr.. Goddard's numbers included
renditions from "Old Black Joe" and
Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes"
(sung occasionally by ungodly per-
sons to the well-known hymn, 20 for
Closer Walk With CODY, but, ia
miliar as his music is to the multi
tude, neither of these "old timers"
succeeded in creating any striking
enthusiasm in the savage breasts of
the audience, and largely because of
the faults l have been at the pains
to point out. If Ashlanders only
heard, as l did some years ago in
Boston Music Hall, the magnificent
rendering of the two arias, Roaming
in Foaming Billows" and "The Trum-
pet Shall Sound" (oratorio numbers) +,
sung by Mr.. Whitney (basso) in a
most mastery fashion, Ashlanders
would understand what it was to lis
ten to the greatest living baritone" {"
To hear Witherspoon, too, in the role
of "Elijah" would furnish another
opportunity Of listening to greatness
personified in one of its most attrac-
tive forms.
1t is but proper to remark that the
Goddard concert was made most en-
joyable by the artistic performances
of Miss Ray-a violinist still in the
bud-and whose finished playing Sc
cured her double encores from de-
lighted audience. The greatest liv-
ing" violinists are, undoubtedly,
Fritz Kriesler and Elma, and If they
had only heard Miss Ray on this occa-
sion they would have applauded her
with sincerity as genuine as that
accorded her by Ashland and its con-
freres.

Loss Of Life BY
Drowning Accidents

It is queer how public sentiment
will overlook great losses of life that
happen in a regular way. A few
years ago there was terrible stir be-
cause a score or two of young men
were killed annually at football. But
every summer between 5000 and
5000 are drowned, and no one gets
excited about it.
The careless way in which many
people who don't know anything
about the water will act in boats and
canoes is amazing They come from
inland places where there is not much
water, yet they like to astonish the
natives at the summer resorts with
their impromptu skill and daring.
They undertake to sail boats with no
conception of the enormous leverage
given by high sail, and the ease
with which sailboats topple over. An
illiterate sea captain watching their

motions once remarked, Them that
know nothin' fear nothin'."
They go out in row boats and
change places as nonchalently as IL
on dancing floor. By and by they
fall in, and all they can do is to yell
for help.
In the cities tanks are becoming
common, and chances to learn swim
ming are multiplied. Often the most
accidents occur in country towns
where there Is every chance to learn
swimming but where no one super
vises the learners. Some parents
turn their boys loose without over
sight to learn among their mates.
Usually they come through all right,
but often they don't. Others go to
the opposite extreme, and a boy is
told not to go near the water until he
can swim. Some day he breaks loose,
gets into a canoe, and never comes
back.
Swimming can easily be taught. In
many places volunteers could be Sc
cured to give lessons to the children
Of neighborhood. Considering the
great loss of life, It is a thing for
parents to consider more carefully.
Those who find no good opportunities
to learn at home commonly get
chances while they are on summer
vacations.

vENISON FOR MEAT.

A recent writer in the New York
Sun, commenting on the need for new
sources of food supply, favors grow
ing venison for meat. He remarks
that the flesh of the deer family Is
most appetizing, and epicures pay
high prices for 1t. Yet 1t has never
been raised for Its food value, and is
considered of use purely for sport.
The deer family range through
rough lands good only for what tim
ber can be grown. Deer can get their
living there, and add to the product
of this only slightly used soil. This
writer notes that under domestication
elk increases rapidly and that 80 per
cent of the females produce healthy
offspring.
In states that have been protecting
deer for game purposes it is found
that they multiply very fast. 1t takes
an open game season lasting a week
or two with gunners in every thicket
to keep them down. Enormous guam
titles of the most toothsome meat are
dragged home in triumph and are
prize in this day of scarce cattle. No
costly barns or expensive feeds have
to be provided.
The objection will be raised that
wherever deer are protected near to
a farming country they come out OF
their cover and do much damage to
crops. Fruit trees are favorite food
for them, and they will strip prom
Using orchard nude in a short time.
The state of Massachusetts has for
fifteen years protected deer and a
very large amount of deer meat has
been secured by its hunters. But to
reconcile the farmers to their protec-
tion, 1t has proved necessary to pay
large sums in damages to the food
producers, which must largely offset
the value of the meat.
OF course deer might be confined
within their ranges by systems OF
fencing. Anyone who ever saw an
athletic deer make its peculiarly elas-
tic leap in the air will recognize that
It must be a very high fence. The
subject is worth consideration in a
time when we pay high prices for
tough old beef infinitely less desirable
than deer meat.

HOW PEOPLE GET BY.

In these high-price times it is GER
tainly mystery how some families
manage to get by. When you con-
slider how prices have risen from so
to 100 per cent, while wages and sal
aries have not gone up in that pro-
portion, 1t is problem how some
families manage to exist and keep to-
gether.
For a great many people 1t has
been solved by the ability of their
children to get work and help sup
port the family. There is such a de-
mand for work of all kinds that al
most any young person of the most
middling intelligence can find things
to do. 1t sometimes seems foolish
for so many girls to train for stenog-
raphers, yet the demand for them
keeps up. As fast as one lot gets
able to take positions, a previous
group of them have been married.
A young man who can't get work
today must be either incurably indo-
lent or incredibly~stupid. An exam
ination of leading metropolitan pa
per the other day showed about six
columns of advertisements of help
wanted, and only column of situa-
tions wanted. Usually the proportion
Is reversed.
So when one wonders how the man
who is getting $3.50 and SO a day
can get along, it must be considered
that frequently he has several chill
dren working and turning in money
toward family expenses. The whole
family may have resources of $4,000
a year. The people who have courage
to marry and have children often get
the most comfort out of life.
Of course the young married man
with family of little ones has
heavy burden. If the wife goes out
and helps earn, the family suffers
and the children run wild. The gar
den and the chicken house are won
derful help for such people. They
must be content with smaller space
than their fathers had, but they need
a roomy and well-utilized back yard.
The outskirts of any town supply
that, and an inexpensive bicycle will
enable the head of the house to get
to his work easily.
