orchestra outbursts. We think
they're called sympathy orchestras
because the musical machinists in it
have a lot of sympathy for the high
brow audience who kid themselves
into believing they know what it's
all about. =
The orchestra had 80 musicians
and a fella called the conductor who
swats imaginary flies with a pencil.
He pushes the stick through the air
while the other fellas dish out the
music, and when it's all over he gets
the credit.
There's about so fiddles in a SYM
pathy orchestra and they're divided
into classes by their weight like
prizef1ghters-40 lightweight fiddles,
5 middIeweight fiddles and 5 heavy
weight. Then there's slide horns,
French horns that go under the
music chaIffeur's arm and blows the
music on his back collar button, pan
drums, and some fellas who play on
punctured bean-blowers, jews harps,
mouth organs and other agonies, not
counting the Gkulele.

cause when they finished playing a

Indian Arrow Heads.

Mr.. Gushing, an authority on mat.
ters pertaining to Indians, tells how,
when he was boy, he learned how the
Indians made their arrow heads. Z.
He had unearthed beautiful har.
p0on of bone. He had a toothbrush with
him, and the bone handle Of this he
chopped off and ground down on a
piece Of sandstone, to make a harpoon
Of his own but he could not grind such
elean-cut barbs as those Of the relic.
The boy then took his flint scales and
chips and set to work with them. The
flint cut the bone away but left the
work rough. Then accidentally he
made discovery, for no sooner had he
begun to rub the bone transversely on
the flint than the bone cut the flint
away. Not jaggedly, as his hammer
stone would have Clipped 1t but In
long, continuously narrow surface fur
rows wherever the edge was caught in
the bone at certain angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
turned it about and used 1t as IN ar
row cutter, by tying it to little roo
Of wood with a shoestring. He had
found out how the Indians made
arrow heads.
