AN INSTRUMENT WITH
ONLY ONE STRING
Haven't You Heard 1t? Think
a Minute

A blind musician in a Westerns
city has acquired considerable
local renown by his performances
on one-string instrument of his
own inventions. 1t is a matter of
surprise that he lis able to get the
effects he does from ONE Stirring,
but probably his most ardent adj
mirers will hardly go so far ais to
call the result music. The per-
formance appeals to the curiosity
rather than to- the taste. One who
did not know that a blind man
was playing amid THAT his instru-
ment had only one stirring, would
be likely to listen indifferently.
A great many people go through
life playing only on one string.
Pleasure is string which in COM
bination with others is capable of
producing very beautiful effects
and adds greatly to life's har-
monies. But a long solo played
on that one stirring IS very weari-
some affair. And as much as we
admire application to business, we
are invariably bored by the per-
son who can never talk of any
thing but business, who is not in
the least interested in music or
literature, or public questions, or
art, or anything but the occupa-
tion which gives him his liveli-
hood.
The largest number of per-
formers who confine themselves to
a single string are the people who
talk only about themselves. Some
times we have an idea that they
are going to get off on another
subj but almost as soon as
that hope is born, we preceive
that they are swinging back to
their one absorbing theme. Such
people talk about the world-war
only in reference to what they
did, and what they felt. AS all
roads lead to Rome, so all themes
of conversation come back to
themselves as a center. They are
tiresome solos where egotists
play, on a solitary string.
The violin with its four strings
is capable of expressing much
more than any instrument with
one string only. The harp and the
piano have of course, far greater
possibilities. 1t is not worth
while to make your instrument a
freak, with only ONE string.

Inside the building grey and red
The pupils i'm the classes sit:
Above their books a young bowed
head,
What silent studying for a bit!
Outside the roaring city's tide,
The thunder of the common strife
And men still at their books be-
side
The ordinary school of life:
Still bent above the cryptic signs,
The problems, lessons, mysteries,
And all the ihieroglyphic lines
That every puzzled pupils sees.
| think WE never graduate
That never any of us quit
The little desks of common fate
Where bent above our books we
sit.
For while the schools go hum
ming ON
Around them we go humming too,
Still dreaming at the gates of
dawn
Of puzzles that are never through:
Still wrinkling worried brows in
thought,
And digging, digging down to find
The truth the mighty years have
wrought
In human heart and mind.
There is a recess for the child,
The doors swing wide and out
they skip;
Like sunbeams dancing free and
wild,
A song of sunshine on the lip;
That need is ours who still at
school
To circumstance and fortune
grow
So limited by scope and rule
Within the favorite facts we
knew
A recess for the morning will
Of childhood, to burst Through
the gloom
And shouting ON the enchanted
hill
Find wisdom of THE spirit still
In freedom of the bird and bloom.

"ALL AT 1T, AND
ALWAYS AT IT,

The one great fact that every
American ought to think and talk
about today is the essential eco
nomic soundness of our country.
Panics are produced by panic
talk. Prosperity cannot be Gre
ated by conversation, but, on the
other hand, it cannot be brought
about under psychological condi-
tions of doubt and tinidity.
We are undergoing the neces-
sary process of defiation following
the abnormal conditions of war.
The big factor in the situation
is the essential economic social
and political soundness of our
country. The wealth. lis here, and
cannot fly away. The resources
are here and will stay here wait
ing development. Our democratic
system of government is backed
by wonderful moral and mental
psise among a majority of our
citizens.
There are plenty of big men
who are able to direct the affairs
of the nation i'm a wise and just
spirit. just now we are tearing
down lot of temporary buildings
and blowing holes in the ground
for the new foundations. Soon we
shall be ready for the new build
ing, and when that time comes we
shall see prosperity beyond any
thing in our history.
Meanwhile every one must take
himself in hand and keep right on
keeping ON. The man who can
hang on the longest is the man
who Wins his fight. Many of our
troubles never happen. Many of
our burdens are unnecessary and
often imaginary. The United
States is the best off of any ma
tion i'm the world. If we will put
the same, of even a fraction of
the same, cooperation, courage
and confidence into the task of re-
adjustment that we put into the
war, we shall be out of the woods
in "a short time and better off than
ever.
Thousands of men are facing
their heartbreaking burdens like
heroes. Let us catch their spirit
and emulate their example. Every
body buck up and fight. Fight
mostly against the temptation to
lose your nerve. Panics are nor
NAL to beasts and pugs, but not
to men.
Already we have probably
turned the corner. Now is the
time to stand together; to- post.

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Handy Sandwich Filling

Amy bits of leftover meat,
especially ham, may be ground
through the meat chopper, sea-
soned with a dash of mustard and
then packed into a small jar
covered with melted fat and set
away for sandwich filling, to use
as sauce or with rice and to-
mato. Even half of a jelly glass
will season a dish or rice or serve
for a half-dozen sandwiches.
A nice luncheon dish may be
made by using leftover ham
(chopped; spread on buttered
toast and serve on it a nicely
poached egg.
Soups for Cold Winter Days
In small families where there
are left-overs, steak bones, meat
trimmings, and outer celery stalks
there is not enough to make good
stock, SO meat must be purchased
occasionally to keep the stock re-
plenished. In large families 1t is
seldom that soup need be bought.
Shin bones contain the most
morrow, so should be utilized for
this purpose, and the meat cut
into small pieces.
If you want real brown soup,
scar some of the meat in missing
frying pan. This does retain some
of the juice, but it gives a better
color, and if you utilize the meat,
then you will not have wasted amy
of the meat juices.
Always cover fat, meat and
bone with cold water, allowing
one pint to each pound of meat
and bone fat. Let stand an hour
to draw out the juices. Rinse fry
ing pam out with water that is to
be used for soup that you may
lose none of the coloring or meat
juice. Heat gradually to boiling
point and simmer slowly for six
or seven hours, if on top of the
stove. If you have a fireless or a
steam pressure cooker your soup
making is simplified to a great de-
gree and your fuel is saved.
Add your vegetables, and salt
and spices should be added the
last hour of cooking, if on stock,
but if you are using fireless or
steam pressure cooker add when
you put the ingredients in con-
tainers.
If you strain and cool your
stock quickly it is less liable to
sour or ferment.
"A cake of fat forms on stock,
and find that, ais it excludes the
air, lit acts as a preservative, so

ODE TO THE BOYS.

And I just thought It was-st- sight:
Enw. this is my reply TO YOU,
And III try IT, make it true;
We wear clothes that suit the year
Now, wouldn't VIC look nice To wear
A coat, vest. collar and tic
In the hot months Of July?
Girls are more advanced than men,
We change our styles now and then;
But men arc content to wear
lust the same from year To year,
Now, think, if the truth were known,
I believe that you men would own
That YOU Like to soc us dressed
In our very latest best.
We may not like the way you go,
But we're too polite to tell you So
Now let me say Il word to you.
Then III quit, for I'll be through:
Little boy. you look so slight.
Why wear your pants $" tight?
And that horrid pinch back coat
That's Il thing that gets my goat.
In the summer, when it's warm,
We very thinly clad our form;
But in the winter when it SHOWS.
Why, sure. we wear some uh0cr

When the sunshine plays just so.
I can see your tinted flesh
Through your thinnest gown of mesh;
Is it modest do you 'sposc,
Not to wear no underclothes!
I can see way past your throat
To a region most remote;
'Taint my fault, now, don't suppose,
Why not wear scme underclOtheS?
Little girl, your socks have shoals
OF those tiny little holes;
Why you want TO show your limb
| do not know; is it a whim?
Do you want to catch the eye
or the fellow passing by?
Little girl, where is the charm
In your long, uncovered arm?
An the "V" behind your neck
Is it for the birds to peck?
Little girl. l tell you those
Arc not as nice as underclothcs.
Little girl, now listen here:
You would be just twice Us dear
If you'd cover up your charms
Neck, back, legs and both arms.
| would take you to some shows
If you'd wear some undcrclothcS,
But no lover-goodness knows
Wants a girls sans" undcrclothes.
Little girl, your mystery,
charms and modesty
Are what make us fellows keen
To possess Il little queen.
S'Dosc wore some harem pants,
Or no shirt, like al my aunts,
Or IA ringlct through my nose
They'd arrest me, don't you s'posc!
I must wear q coat of mail,
Clothed from head to big toe nail
| must cover up my form,
Even when the weather's warm.
