who organized the S07th Infantry
Bard, that afterwards became known
as the Headquarters Band in France,
is leaving for France October Is,

School of Musical Studies, in the
Palace of Fontainebleau.

being the only American musician
composer to ever win scholarship
from this French musical institution.

this number passed with sufficient
percentages 70 entitle them to take
the final examination, Vodery being
among the forty. And in the final
examination he not only came out
first, but he also led with an unpre-
cedented average of 80, mark that

These boys, two clever colored en-

them over the footlights in regular

of Dixie and "Blues" melodies, in a
manner peculiarly their own. The

Sweet little baby girl,
Innocent and blest,
Folded in thy mothers arms
Close against her breast.
Sleep on
Thou art safe
Happy, careless little child
Chasing butterflies;
Knowing of naught else save joy
And sunshine from the skies,
Play on
Childhood's best.
Joyous, trustful maiden
Dreaming mid the flowers;
Building castles in the air,
Erecting high loves towers,
Take heed
Love has wings.
All, unhappy woman,
Art thou the maid who dreamed?
Too late thou learned thy lesson wei
Life is not what it seemedl
Don't grieve-
Moments flee.
