HoRATIn M. pAnl1En

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The death of Horatio W. Parker dean of the department of music at Yale, removes the foremost living American composer. Not only has pr. Parker done fine things for music at Yale and for the academic recognition of the importance of the art, but his flora Novissima," a setting of the medieval hymn by Bernard de Morlaix. is acknowledge as the finest sacred music written in this country. It was the first American composition to be sung at a festival of the Three Choirs in England, being sung twice at these festivals, in 1899 and 1900, while other works of his, "A Wanderers Psalm" and The Legend of St. Christopher. '' were given there later. His degree of Doctor of Music came from Cambridge in 1902.
 Dr. Parker did much in smaller forms of composition, and some of his songs both for solo voice and chorus are beautifully melodious. In his writ ing for the operatic stage he was less successful, although his two operas have probably made his name more widely known to the public than has his sacred music His Mona" which took a $1o,000 prize offered by the Metropolitan Opera House, was given there in 1912, but has not been re- vived since. It failed to grip it's audi ences because it lacked melody and instinctive feeling for the stage. One touch of Verdi, or even of Puccini. would have gone further than all it's learning toward assuring popular suc- cess. His S"Fairyland" took s1oOoo prize offered three years later at Los Angeles, through the National Feder- ation of Music. Clubs, and was pro- duced there at the meeting of the fed eration. but has not been sung since. These instances show that his talent was not many sided, but it was none the less genuine. Professor Parker has helped both the growth and the recognition of American music and his work will live after him.

WHY DO WYE sNEEzE

From the Book of Wonders, Published
 and Copyrighted by the Bureau of In-
 dustrial Education, Inc, Washington,
 D. C.
 You sneeze sometimes when you look LID at the sun or at q bright light. There does not seem to be any real good explanation of why looking at bright light should make you sneeze It is due to the connec- tion there is between the nerves of the eyes and the nose. You generally blink if you look at a bright light suddenly, and the blinking process stirs the nerves inside of the nose to make you sneeze.
 You know, of course, that the start of the sneeze is inside of your nose. The nose is, besides being the organ of smell, the channel through which we take air into the lungs, when we breathe properly The nose is lined with membranes, back of which are extremely sensitive The membranes are placed there to catch and come into the nose when we take in breath of air, and sneezing is only one effective way of cleaning out the nose. It is brought on only when some particu- larly difficult job of nose cleaning has to be done. Pepper up the nose will make you sreeze quickly, because pepper pro- duces ! very great irritation inside the nose, and the nose goes to work at once to get rid of it in the quickest possible manner as soon as the pepper comes in. Other things have the same effect Some times a cold in the head causes you to sneeze. Int sneeze in that event is merely nature effort to clean out Che nose when other efforts have failed

THE MORNING NEWSPAPER

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 C7F1HERE is nothing extraordinary in the morning newspaper situa-
 tion in St. Louis resulting from the absorption of the Republic by the Globe e-Democrat. A single morning newspaper in city is not the excep- tion. On the contrary it is more nearly the rule. Among cities of over 100, 900 population in the United States, 45 have one morning paper and only 1s have more than one. Of the 19. cities, three, of course, are very much larger than St. Louis, and of the other 16 only four others are above half a million popu- lation.
 The morning newspaper has a field that is at once broad and deep, and un- less it adapts itself tn~the depth as well as the breadth it cannot survive. It cannot be superficial and be successful It must appeal primarily to the intelli- gence and justify the appeal For some reason the public expects and demands a greater seriousness from the morning newspaper It looks to it primarily for digested thought and conservative ex- pression for the guidance of opinion. Whether this attitude is the result of the character of the morning paper or that the paper has been influenced in ehis direction by public intuition, the fact remains. With but few exceptions the American papers that have the largest influence are morning newspa-

THE SPIRIT OF A WIFE

From the Brooklyn Eagle, 1N1 ESIST it one may, and perhaps re- IN\ sistance is a duty considering the S9 career and the character and the dignity of Russell H. Conwell. D. D. and IL. D., and for almost 30 years pastor of the Baptist temple of Philadelphia, his detailed explanation of the appearance of his late wife from spiritland recalls Lowelrs "A. Gordon Knott:'
 He lay in bed And heard his wife with well-known
 tread
 Entering the kitchen, through the shed;
 GOT wasn't his fancy mocking?) Opening the pantry, cutting bread. And then (she'd been some ten years
 dead)
 Closets and drawers unlocking; Or, in his room (his breath grew thick) He head the long-familiar click Of slender needles, flying quick, As if she knit stocking.
 The spirit of the late Mrs. Conwell does not seem to have indulged or to have ap- peared to indulge in any industrial utili- tarianism But it told the widower where to find his discharge papers from the army, which had been lost for years, and

DYING MANS GIFT

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner When Stanley Prezekerat, an ex-sailor, started work on a childs doll house for. a Christmas gift tc a 5-year-old girl whom he had never seen, but whose photograph he had long admired, he had grave doubts about being able to finish it before Christ Imas.
 For Stanley is a patient in the tuber- Fculosis ward of the county hospital and realizes he may not live long
 q only hope I can live to finish H. he told Miss Hattie M. Price, superintend- ent of the tuberculosis ward, when ne began work on the house two months ago.
 And now it stands on a hospitai stretcher all ready to be sent out m an swer to little girls appeal to santa Claus.
 But surely no little girl ever dreamed of coll house quite so wonderful as Itbis one that stanley has made, for in if are real electric lights. tiny player piano and viSsrcla that play real music . miniature tele phone and. in fact, all the improvements of modern home
 The house contains six rooms and bath and Stauley thinks now he may put a h;,,ard room on the third floor after Christmas Ingenuity marks the making of every piece of furniture in the house Faucet handles and door knobs were made from the handles of hospital svringes, faucets out of copper nails and elaborate furniture was carved with a pocket knife. The house is about four by six feet and has three stories.
 we never throw away anything around this ward, for Stanley makes something out of >everything. said Miss Price.
 Stanley is enc of the sad results of what liquor has done to some men. He had a terrible time when the dry law first came into efrect.- but he has fought his

"I am going back to my old home near Ga1lion, Hale county to spend the holidays with my father, who is 79 years of age" said J. T Collins, Jr. q with him every year, when it is possi- ble, and haven't missed many. Spend ing few days in the country gives me a rest and the good things I get to eat on these occasions make me look forward to each return of the event with the 1iveliest anticipations. After a man takes his meals at restaurants for few years little home cooking. especially the way mother used to cook IS a delightful treat. But, of course, the main thing is being with my people again.

"Birmingpcrt" Is
 A Dream Come True

ID IRMINGHAM'S 2O-year dream has ~ at last come true. On January 1, 1920, joint rail and water rates an. pllcable to Birmingport will 20 into effect. Birmingport is the abbrevia- ted name of the port through which traffic on the Warrior river to and from Birmingham will pass.
 Twenty years ago Birmingham be- gan talking Warrior river transporea- ton. At that time much had to Inc done. The river was navieable only short distance above Tuscaloo.. anu uams to take care of a fall of over one hundred feet to enabla bo.+s to reach as high as Cordova had Ao be built, Building dams is slov nr,. ess' but No. IF, lifting the wafer sixty-two feet, was completed fo,r ,,,. iiVc years ago.

 'The Christmas tree given by the Kiwanis club yesterday for the chil- dren of this city who would otherwise have had no Christmas, was one of the prettiest sights I ever saw said Hen " Cobb. "The tree was beautifully decorated and with the long tables of children. many of whom were very pretty, the scene was most impressive. When Santa Claus came down the chimney tho little children were all eyes. and one little blue-eyed girl said, My brother said there wasn't any Santa Claus, but there certainly is' The children had the time of their lives, and I think the Kiwanians en- joyed the tree as much as the children for it was revelation to have seen how happy the gifts, fruits and candy from Santa Claus made them. Besides Lew salter was a good Santa Claus and made a decided hit with the chil- dren, who were waving and throwing kisses to him as he went back up the chimney"

pers of this country, the nevsrarers that in reality wield the power of the press because they have the respect and confidence of the public in . very large measure, and it will be found that eight out of ten of them are morn ing newspapers. Name. for example. the New York newspapers that really influence thought and action, that are known far and wide and quoted as au- thority, and nearly every one, it will be observed, is a morning newspaper.
 This being the case, the tendency of the public is Ito concentrate it's patron age upon the paper that more nearly expresses the ideal of morning journal. ism, which, however that ideal may vary with the individual reader as to other matters, must have intelligence vitality and accuracy, and if one paper can satisfy the demands of its public. for these qualities, combined with fairy ness of discussion and manifest devo- ton to the public interest. then one paper is enough.

Speaking about funny cases in court stated Judge Tom Lea, 'T re- member the case of a judge down in Mississippi who had up before him a negro charged with shooting craps. This offense had been common, and the judge had been assessing the usual fine. Many terms had been given by the offenders to the dice game, such as rolling the worries and others. But this negro had an original expression which so amused the judge that he turned the offender loose. Asked what he was doing to be brought up in court the negro answered.: Jedge, I was shootin' Mississippi marbles"

T was amused at friend of mine recently, who, in speaking of a certain nan in business in Birmingham, re- marked that, having worked for him during several years, he arrived at the conclusion that he was not only the greatest optimist but the most charita- hly disposed man in his estimates of his fellow man of any one he had ever known" said Paul Barnett. He gave this instance of his cheerful disposition and his forgiving spirit He told how for months he had watched one of the clerks whom he suspected of stealing and at last catching him with the goods on him, informed his proprietor what he had done, only to be laughed at for his pains, for the boss thought it was a corking good joke. and said.

 We decided to contribute this to the Roys' Industrial school,'' Chairman Brown stated. I've bought 160 pounds of, dressed turkey and shipped it out to the school for a Christmas day feast"
 The school management will provide all the varied trimmings, and, regard less of the high cost of living, it will be some Christmas feed this year for the boys.

Fershing Boom Survive.
 Oft-Repeated Denial.

Il v ENERAL PERSHING will not
 be candidate for the pres;. dency, says Brig. Gen. Charles c Dawes, close friend of the general General Dawes is quoted in a Chicaoo dispatch as saying, General Persbino has told me many times he would not De 2 candidate. I was with him a great deal of the time during his Chi cago visit. If he were a candidate would know it."
 The Pershing boom will not down however. It has been "punctured" bv the generals brother and others who should be in position to know and Pershing himself has never indicated a desire to sit in the White House but politicians are a canny lot. and suspicious withal. They see Pershino going about the country, hailed by cheering multitudes; they see him greeted by fair debutantes and shak. ing the hands of the common people as if he enjoyed it; they hear him making delicious speeches about the banquet board and in every way con- ducting himself as popular hero should, with unaffected democracy and modesty that charms all be- holders.
 Observing these manifestations, the politicians are loath to believe Per-
