CANNOT APPRECIATE
MUSIC.
We often hear of people being
color-blind, but few of us realize
there is such a thing as tune-
deafness. It prevents those af-
fected from appreciating music,
which to the melody-deaf is
nothing but noise. The most in-
telligent people often suffer in
this way.
Empress Catherine of Russia
used to declare that for her mu-
sic was a nerve-trying din, and
Napoleon I. hated any form of
melody. Victor Hugo had to be
coaxed by the composer who
put his famous lines to music.
'‘Are not my verses,” he used to
say, “sufficiently harmonious to
stand without the assistance of
disagreeable noises ?” Doctors
say that the power to appreciate
music depends upon a perfect
combination of the nerve and
brain.
Some people’s nerves readily
carry musical sounds to the
mind, in others nerves impede
their passage to the brain-cells.
Good musicians are more often
born than made. Nature has
provided them with- nerves
which instinctively carry musi-
cal chords to the brain. That is
why a good musician can memo-
rize a tune after hearing it play-
ed over once. Every note has
been clearly recorded in their
brain. Those with less sensitive
musical nerves receive a dull im-
pression of any music they may
hear, and thus they are unable
to remember it unless it is
drummed into their brain by re-
peated playing.
<a» Nature is beautifully old-fash-
ioned all the time.
Taxes do not have to toot a
horn to make men dodge.
War has made a lot of moth-
erly women of English suffra-
gettes.
Anybody who understands hu-
man nature can make predic-
tions that are bound to come
true.
Some men have been known
to reform just to disappoint the
neighbors, who said he was go-
ing to the devil.
It is said that to be successful
a liar must keep in constant
practice. Understand we are not
speaking from experience; this
is hearsay testimony.
Put alfalfa in the market as a
human food and there arises the
danger that it will be adulterat-
ed with white clover, which
would give the consumer the
“slobbers.”

* WITH OUR EXCHANGES. *
Mrs. Vernon Castle, society
leader and best dressed woman
on the western hemisephere, re-
turned last week from a visit to
France, and brought with her a
pet monkey, when she shops or
attends social functions. The dry
goods stores have not put in a
stock of monkeys yet, but of
course they will, and soon the
high cost of monkeys will add to
man’s troubles here below. Oh,
that we owned a monkey farm
instead of a music box and a
garden.—Honey Grove Signal.
Congress is certain to enact a
compulsory military training
law. A nation should be prepar-
ed. All men should be compelled
to do military service. There
should be no exceptions or ex-
emptions. The son of the mil-
lionaire should be forced to take
his place in the ranks with th£
son of the street laborer. There
is only one way to make a sol-
dier.—Fort Worth Record.
We would like to have a photo-
graph of Editor Fitzgerald doll-
ed up in khaki uniform and tot-
ting a gun.
“You newspaper men are writ-
ing a lot of stuff about the cloth-
es that Annette Kellermann
doesn’t wear,” writes a member
of the shopping sex, “but I’ll bet
if your wives paid as much for
what they wear as Annette pays
for what she wears, you’d think
it a serious matter.” Yep, dia-
monds are expensive,—Beau-
mont Enterprise.
Granting that all the “mem-
ber of the shopping sex” has
said is true, yet under those con-
ditions the average man would
be ashamed to meet his wife on
the street.
There is one thing that child-
ren ought to do oftener. They
ought to take their little broth-
ers and sisters to school with
them every few days. They owe
this much to the teachers. It
brightens up the school to have
the little fellows present, any
reasonable teacher will consider
it quite a treat. Of course there
are some unreasonble teachers.
Bryan has one of that kind. One
day last week he took Bert to
school with him. He didn’t want
to take his little brother, but
his mother felt that all the peo-
ple at the school ougt to see
Bert. Well, as little fellows do
at times, he cried. He cried
when Bryan got up to recite.
He thought that Bryan was go-
ing away—thought he was go-
ing to be left there with all
those strangers. No doubt he
felt that he never would see his
home and his toys again. Do you
know what the teacher did? She
said to Bryan: “Take that child
home.” Instead of trying to
quiet the little fellow, she order-
ed him home. There are some
ill-tempered people who should
not be permitted to teach in the
schools, and if we have an influ-
ence with the trustees, that
woman will not teach here next
year.—Claude Callan, in Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.

ASK YOUR FRIEND.
There is hardly a neighborhood in
any city, town or hamlet in the United
States where women cannot be found
v/ho have derived benefit from Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
For more than forty years this bo-
tanic remedy has been overcoming
some of the worst cases of female ills.
As one woman has found help she has
told another, who has used it with the
same result; so the use of this great
medicine has spread from shore to
shore by the rcommendation of those
who have found it good. Therefore,
ask your neighbor, let her tell you
from experience the benefit which ail-
ing women derive from the use of the
famous medicine.
