Situation Summed Up
in One Short Sentence

Robert was In for a trying ordeal
and he knew 1t. As he stood on the
doorstep of old Mr. Green's house he
assured himself that there We're far
easier things In the world than coming
to TASK father"
A maid opened the door and he was
shown into the drawing-room while
the servant approached her master.
Some few moments later he found
himself alone In the library with the
old gentleman, who was looking very
stern, due to an attack of Indigestion
"Ah, here you are, was Mr.. Green's
not too gracious greeting. And why
do you want to marry my daughter"
This took Robert by surprise. and
before he could think OF a fitting reply
the query was repeated:
snow. sir, come. Why do YOU want
TO marry my daughter? That's what
want to know"
Because r-er-" stammered the
young man. "I-er-I have no rea-
SON"
Exactly, my dear sir" broke in the
older man. Exactly. You can't have,
/ or you wouldn't be so anxious to mar
ry her"

Great MGster of Music
Under HeoUy Handicap

There is a false impression that
Beethoven in his later years was able
to play beautifully, despite his deaf
ness. This seemed so incredible to
one who has always insisted with his
piano pupils shat the ear is the great
est guide to good pianoforte playing"
that he carried his investigations to
the contemporaries OF Beethoven
Finally. a trustworthy account of his
playing was found In the autobiogra-
ply or Ludwig Spohr-unbiased be-
cause SpOhr was great friend of
Beethoven. Beethoven did not play
we'll after he had lost his hearing
The following is translated somewhat
literally from Spohr's autobiography.
Spohr went to a rehearsal at which
Beethoven played one of his trios.
He writes
1.-The impression was bad, since
Beethoven from the very first notes
played the piano very poorly. 1t was
obvious that Beethoven heard literal
ly nothing, and also that there was no
remnant left Of the virtuosity he pos
sessed when he had his full powers of
hearing. In forte passages he played
so loud that the wires clashed and in
piano passages so softly that whole
groups OF notes were entirely inaudi
BILE. Deafness is terrible affliction
for anyone, but for the master 1t Is
beyond comparison"

Bells in Early Days
Served as TOlOn Clock

In Holland and Belgium, about the
middle of the Fifteenth century, when
timepieces were rare, and the people
we're much more dependent upon the
town clock for knowledge OF the time
of day or night, it became a custom,
as premonitory signal, to precede the
striking of the hour by a short auto
matte Ginning on three or four small
bells hung In the clock tower
AS this town and that sought to sur
pass fits neighbors, the bells were In
creased in number and the musical
scale of tones and halftones thus be-
came complete Brief melodies be-
gan to be heard at the hour and the
half hour, and with the addition of
still more bells came, at these di-
visions, whole tunes played upon three
or even four octaves Of bells. All
this playing was automatic.
Then came the adoption of the key
board, similar to that of the organ,
with each key representing a bell note
and readily responding to the art Of
the accomplished musician. Soon
pedals were devised to play the
heavier bells.
Thus, in the course OF two or three
centuries, was developed the carlton.

operative market, is scheduled to
speak at New Richmond Monday,
October &c, at the first of series of
four branch warehouse meetings

practice and experience. A year ago
Professor Macklin in company with
Dean H. L. Russell spent six weeks
travelling through this far away
island dairy empire with view to
discovering what, if anything in
New Zealand practice, could be
made Of value to Wisconsin dairy
men. He has since written numer-
Gus articles on the subject, also a
research bulletin just issued by the
Wisconsin Experiment Station. Few,
if any, College Economists have a
greater right to the everlasting
friendship of the farmer that Prof

Named From Wreckers' Trick

Mays Head, N. c., is a historical
and romantic spot on the Atlantic
ocean, abreast Of Roanoke island and
45 miles southeast Of Elizabeth City.
Mays Head got It's name from the
tricks of the wreckers of the olden
days One Of these piratical people
conceived the idea Of tying a lantern
to the head of horse whose legs
were fettered with hobbies. And as
he llmped up and down the beach, the
storm-tOssed mariner out at sea, TAX
ing the light for that of a ship sail
ing in safety, would hold up his helm
for what he thought the calmer wa
tiers inside, and would eventually find
himself upon the treacherous sands
of the coast.-Detroit News.

HosO Times Change

A good story was told by Rev. DR.
Black at the Edinburgh section of the
Scottish Burns club on the occasion
of the annual dinner. Doctor Black,
on going to preach in a country kirk,
was asked by the beadle, "Ha'e We
your sermon written?" When the
reverend gentleman replied that he
had, the beadle exclaimed, I'm rale
gled, because when thae folk come We
a paper, ye ken they'll stop when that
stops; but when they haze nae paper
ava the ALMIGHTY Himself dlsna ken
when they're likely tae flemish" Not
so long ago the written sermon was
anathema TO the Scotchman-LOndon
