The Chords Of Harmony.

There's many kinds Of flddles in the
human music hall, where the players
do their purtiest to carry on the ball
while our appetite for music is In
creasin' every day, we got to pay at
tention to the Instruments they play.
Sometimes you hear the Teller with
an animated gourd, which there's only
one conclusion--it's the best he can
afford-but there amt a speck OF
beauty in the agony he sings from
the wuthle.s imitation that is speakin'
through the strings.
An so it is with poems from the
eyerlastin' muse-the harmony is fit
tin with the instrument we use. .
You can't derive the makin's OF a
heartenin' refrain from a patent-leath-
er capsule that's supposed to be a
brain.
1 love my Stradivarius as / press
her to my cheek-fOr she never dis
app'ints me with wiggle or squeak
Il draw my Tow acrost her, and the
sweetness starts to roll, tin the honey
dew is drippin' from the cornice of my
soul.-Excelsior Springs Standard.
