Hawaiian ukeleles have become one
Of the most popular musical instru-
ments in the United States, but 1t 10
doubtful if Americans would take so
kindly to another instrument, once
used throughout the Hawaiian group.
The nose flute" is referred to. At the
present time there are few Of these to
be found in Hawaii, save in the mu-
seums and collections which belong
to old residents, but occasionally an
old native can be located who still
blows dulcet nasal strains. The
"nose flute is a small whistlelike at.
fair, which the old-time natives used
in connection with the gOurds which
furnished music for the hulas Of his
time. 1t was blown through with
one nostril, the other being held with
a finger, which closed or opened 1t for
the passage of air to vary the volume
Of the notes.

SCHUBERT DIED IN POVERTY

Lawrence Gilman writes as follows
regarding the poverty of Franz Schu-
bert G797-1S2S). one Of the greatest
and most inspired composers the
world ever knew. says the Denver
News
Schubert, who was almost the age
of his contemporary, Shelley, COM
posed his + minor symphony in the
year of ShclIcy's death. Like Shelley,
he was too we'll beloved of the gods;
Shelley died ut thirty. Schubert at
thirty one. He was four-fifthS peasant
and he sang like rustic angel. When
he died he left behind him personal
effects valued mt little over S12 and
some of the lovelieSt music In exist

shoes, shirts. Cravats, handkerchiefs,
socks, one hat. one towel. one sheet,

and he was selling some Of the great

price of four subway tickets. AS Sir
George Grove observes, beside this,
the poverty Of Mozart-the first OF the
two great musicians whom Vienna has
allowed to starve-was wrath SIR
George is exercised because he can
find in Schubert no trace Of formal or
dogmatic religion No doubt life

miserable deathbed should dispose q

Milky Way Legends.

Fables regarding this group Of stars
appear in the literature Of almost
every nation. The Chinese and jap
anese regard 1t as stream. with sill
very fishes sporting in the waves. Tho
American Indians and the African
Bushmen associate it with lights to
guide the path of wandering spirits
to the happy hunting grounds. A
Greek legend has 1t that when Phae-
ton was driving the chariot Of the sun,
the horses took fright at the spectacle
Of the monsters of the zodiac. They
bolted from their road. set the heav-
ems on fire and came near burning up
the earth. The scorched track Of
their runaway was marked by the
milky way.

Briefly. Find Your Niche.

When you can't do what you want
to do, do the next best thing. 1t may
be the failure is for your good. Some
times we let our enthusiasm run Off
with our Judgment. We would DO
many things that are not for the best.
So a kind Providence heads the thing
off. Marshall Field could not succeed
as a clerk in a little down-East store,
but he could build up one of the big
cest commercial enterprises in the
world in Chicago. Green, the histor!-
an. could not do any work for months
before he died, but he could dictate
the best history of the English people
ever written. Francis Parkman cou'd
not see to make watches, but he could
become Americas historian Haydn
was not q great success as q barber
but he could write THE Creation and
win world fame.-Grit.

SURE GUILTY OF SOMETHING
Larceny Didn't Make Much Dit
ference to Hank.

There is an old New England squire
limited, but who has decided views as
to common justice. Not long ago
certain Hank Miller was brought be
fore him, charged with larceny. 1t ap-
had rented a horse from farmer to
do some hauling and that, during the
period the animal had remained in his
possession, he had fed it from the own
er's stock of grain, although the agree
ment was that Hank himself should
supply the feed. He was charged by
the farmer, therefore, with the theft
of two bushels of oats and corn.
"The statutes made and provided
the old squire announced ponderously,
"say that theft is to convert to your
own use the property of another. The
horse Is the servant of the owner, not
Of Hank. and Hank converted them
oats to the horses use, not his-SO ]
acauit Hank of stealin' them oats-he
amt guilty of larceny"
Hank rose, thanked the squire and
was about to leave the room, when the
old man called him back. :
"As l said, Hank" he remarked
with a CLEAN of humor in his eye, "you
amt guilty of larceny, but you shore
air guilty of something, and I'm Soin
to send you to Jail for a month for it.

OBJECTED TO WOMAN'S SKIRT
Peculiar Reason Advanced by China
man for Refusing to Consider
Matrimonial Alliance.

In spite of the success with which
the campaign against the binding Of
women's feet has been waged in China,
there are still parts where men Will
not marry girls who have natural feet.
Missionaries try, so far as possible,
to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One OF
our Christian girls, writes cOrre-
spondent, was getting quite an old
maid having reached the age Of twen-
ty-eight. Several heather had asked
her, but she refused them all. One OF
our preachers approached a country
tenant farmer and tried to persuade
him to ask the twenty-eight-year-old
lady. We all thought 1t would come
off. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question, and had not
vet succeeded in getting engaged. But.
to our surprise, he would have nothing
to do with the plan, and gave as his
reason: "Who would marry girl with
a skirt like that?' The girl had her
skirt embroidered In different way
to the girls and the women in the VII.
lage where the particular swain lived.
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation on the fashion OF
his own village. A beautiful pair OK
brown eyes, long, fine, black hair. and
a good Christian character counted as
nothing against strange style OF skirt
embroidery!

The change OF pace is as enec-
tive on the gridiron as the ball field.
Coach Charley Moran Of Centre
College has proved that theory to
the satisfaction of dear old Harvard.
With "Bo" McMillin playing the
leading role, Moran treated Har-
ward to a bitter dose of the double
cross"
Centre College sprang the big sur
prise of the season when IL defeated
Harvard 6 to o. The victory Of the
little Kentucky college over Har-
ward was due to brains with Centre
showing the way.
In 1920 the slogan Of Centre Col
lege was "Score." Piling up lopsided
scores against the opposition was the
big idea. In 1921 Centre changed
the "Score" slogan to Hold En-"
Changes style.
In 1920 the use OF the forward
pass was the favorite play of Gem
tire. Coach Moran had devised a
score OF formations that bafled his
opponents. In 1921 Centre changed
its style of play entirely. Moran
having built up a reputation on the
forward pass, used that style OF play
as a threat against Harvard. The
Crimson players were coached tc
constantly be on the alert for the
forward pass
Then IL didn't happen. Instead OF
the pass Moran used a running at

Each fall when the brothers troi
out on the field the parents OF the
two Stein lads do not take sides but
hope for a tie game so that there
will be peace in the family.
So far as is known this Is the first
case in history where two brotheri
have played on opposing teams for
thre years in succession.
And each wades into the other
just as hard as IL he were playing
some other opponent when they
swing into action.
A peculiar thing about both the
Stems is that each kicks the goals
after touchdown for his team and
each is a finished goal from place
ment kicker. both having many goals
in this manner to their credit. In
order to place kick, Herb Stein has
to be pulled from his place at center

tack. Bucks Off tackle and runs
around the end were his favorite
plays. With the Crimson line wide
open, expecting the forward pass,
the running attack proved most sue
cessful.
Coach Moran simply brought
some of his baseball knowledge to
the gridiron. As a National League
umpire, he has observed that the
great pitchers were the fellows who
used their brains, the pitchers who
used a change of pace, mixed them
up so TO speak. He also observed
that the team that constantly used
the same style didn't get very far.
II was the club that mixed the hit
and run with the steal and sacri-
fee, and resorted to the waiting
game when the pitcher was wild,
that was hard to beat
Charley Morans Centre College
team defeated Harvard because II
treated them to the old change of
pace. The story is best told in a
statement made by "Bo" McMillin

by the way, made the touchdown
that beat Harvard.
