For when we Imagine we're up at the top Fate sives us a trip and we tumble "ker flop."' And Just when a man falls In love with him self Fate's likely to lay him away on the shelf. He may fancy he'll get the whole world at a haul. And awaken to find he's not In it at all. Albeit just now we have plenty, you know. The time may arrive when we'll hare to let go. Aud because we are favored we mustn't ge't gay. For things won't forever be coming our way. A man who at present we venture to spurn May by-and-by pay us the wages we earn. And we ought to make friends In our sun shine anent Tne days we're not able to lay up a cent. You'll Sometimes meet people who fancy that tlioy. When once they are np, have arisen to stay. Tlioy seem to forget that all life Is a game Where wings are attached to both riches and lame. Tbey'ro up like a rocket, and then, pretty quick, In most of the cases, are down like the stick. And obsourity tucks all about them a shroud. "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal ba proud?" What Goes TVith a High Hat. The statement that "pride i;oes before a fall" is more to be depended upon than the promises of a summer seaside girl. A cer tain nian whose name is withheld for ob vious reasons by olose application to duty and the practice of rigid economy, rose to a good position and acquired a small bank account. He ate cheap lunches, shaved himself, blacked his own boots, smoked S cent cigars, and economized generally. He was prompt in getting to work, otten run ning several blocks in order to be at his post of duty just at the minute. He dresied iairly well, but did not, like several ot his associates, wear a high hat. Alter some arguments he convinced himself that he could afford to wear a high hat as well as they. It would cost only a few dollars extra, aud so the purchase was made. The first day he wore it he was certain that angels and men were all watching him. He felt that he had at once stepped from the ranks of ordinary beings into the realm of real gentility. But he was soon im pressed with the fact that the suit of clothes he was wearing was not just the right cut to go with a high hat, so he ordered a fine, new outfit at the tailor's. His somewhat worn shoes also appeared to be a little out of har mony and he invested in a new pair. When he went to lunch he could not make 'him self believe that it was just the proper thing for a man who wore a'high hat to sit on a high stool and eat a cheap morsel, as he had been in the habit of doing, so he seated him self at the table and ordered a square meal. Afterward, instead ot the usual "three-for-ten," he bought some "two-for-a-quarter" cigars to keep company with his glossy tile. He bad occupied so much time in partaking ot a full meal that he knew he would be late in getting back to his work, but it would never do tor a man wearing a high hat to hasten like a common servant. A gentle man never gets in a hurry. The day, after he had drawn the last of his savings out of the bank and invested them in a diamond, which someone informed him should always be worn with a high bat, his employer dis charged him for being so often late at his work. People 'Who BegLeave to Differ. Pride does not always assert itself in dress. There are those who are proud in their minds and who think their opinions are a little bit superior to or more correct than anyone else's, and no matter what is spoken in their hearing they invariably beg leave to differ. We have all of us met with the bore who re marks! "Tour pardon. I beg leave to differ." No matter what topio upon one embarks "T our pai (ion. 1 Deg leave to aiuer." Though simple and plain Is the truth yon convey. He's sure to dispute you, though strive as you mays He 1s never so happy as when he can say: "Your p.udoii. I beg leave to differ." With things which you always have fancied weie true He craciously basis leave to differ, And were you to say that twice one equals two He'd most likely beg leave to differ. And when at the Jast as they stand at his bed The doctor or preaoher shall say: "He Is dead." I'm sure he'll remark as he raises his head, "Your pardon. 1 be leave to differ." But the man wh'o differs has his good as well as his bad qualities. All the world admires In a certain way the man or woman who goes about with a chip on his or her shoulder. The good fighter wins our admira tion, and even the effective kicker comes in for a share of our praise occasionally. Some one must lead the opposition and champion the cause on the other side. The world needs thinkers, and to think and then have the courage of one's convictions often neces sitates fighting, 1 The Opposite Sort of Fellow. It will not do to agree with everybody. Hen cannot go on copying all the errors of the world that have been masquerading as correct things. No man wants to be simply a ditto mark. There must be iconoclasts, whose duty it is to go about smashing false idols. A shoemaker's apprentice was given a pattern of leather and enough material to cut out a hundred pieces just like it. It to happened that a hole bad been cat in the pattern to hang it up by, and the appren tice, who did nor believe in questloping the correctness of things as he found them, like wise cut a hole in each ot the pieces of leather, which were to be used in making shoes. Besides helping to perpetuate the world's mistakes, there is really nothing more ex asperating than the ielfow who agrees. Oh, there are sorry scores and scores Of quite exaspeiating botes: The one whose presence will beget "That tired feeling" you regret. But of the foes that greet mankind Tbe very sorriest you'll find Is that obliging mortal who In everything agrees with you. No matter what you chanco to say He swears you're right In every "way. Fate can't a Joy or sorrow brln But he has felt the self-same thing. You mention you've an aohe or pain He's had it too, time and again. He knows your belne through and through, This fellow who agrees with you. In thought and deed', In mind and heart He is your nerfeot counterpart; Say what yon will vou'll find that ha In every statement will agrees. He coincides with you until It takes all your strength of will To keep from beating black and blue This fellow who agrees with you. r Couldn't Accept an Ordinary Man. The man who agrees with everybody and everything is only an echo and an imita tion. He lacks individuality. His success in life will consist in limply following after others and gleaning what is left after the reapers have passed. He' will be too meek to push himself to the fore and demonstrate must hustle to win in this great world of strife, And study your cards every minute: It may be truly said In the Jackpot of life The man who Is shy Isn't in it. To be( proud of one's attainments is only natural, yet to become unreasonably so is none the less deplorable. An example of such pride came to light at one of the popu lar summer resorts recently. A young man fell desperately in love with a young lady, or at least he said he did, which practically amounts to the same thing. He was a very worthy young man, but he came from the common walks of life. He was reminded ot this by the young lady at the time he sought to press bis suit. He had learned. however, that ber ancestry had no more frills on it than had his, and he called her attention to the matter and insisted that so far as their positions in life were concerned it was about equine and equine. It was then that jhe further explained to him: "Yes, but you see I am already engaged to an Italian count, an English lord, a Ger man duke, a college professor from New England, and a poet from Texas, and now to accept the hand of another who is only a common ordinary man would not be treat ing the rest of my friends just right. You are a nice young roau and I admire you, but yon see you are simply outclassed." He saw. A New Song of the Shirt. Pride is driving the girls out of their natural domestic sphere into the commer cial, business world, where the men for so long fancied they held an exclusive monop oly. And it is only natural that young women prefer to dress neatly and fill posi tions where they can see what is going on in the world rather than to wear soiled aprons aud stay in the kitchen, where the range of vision depends upon the size of the back window. Social caste decrees that the girl in the kitchen must marry someone not above her own station in life, but the young lady typewriter in the business office may entangle the heart of the head of the firm. Things have greatly and hanpily changed since Tom Hood wrote his "Song of the Shirt," A LATER TKBSIOX. With fingers taper and slim, Vitn eyelids cunningly bright. The girls In their teens typewriting ma chines Are playing from morning till night. Sit, sit. sit, Each one of the wlnsomely dressed. And whenever she tires the least little bit She pauses an hour to rest. Flay, play, play. For dollars a dozen a week. And play, play, plar. And a husband Industriously seek. It's oh! Just to go on the staze. Or to make a most wonderful "catoh." It matteis not what be his looks or his age, It's money that settles the match. Flay, play, play. She begins In the morning at ten, Play, play, play, And she flirts with the terrible men, Note and letter and bill, And bill and letter and note, So Just let her pound for at last she has found The labor on which she can dote. Oh, men who have sisters dearl Oh, men with mothers and wives! If the women go out to gather the sweets, Who's goln to stay in the hives? 'And If we would hold us a Job, We've got to be up and alert. For the women to-day sing " 'Ba boom de ay" Instead of the "Song or the Shirt." Nixoa WATXSIU.V. Copyrigtit, ISSt, by the author. IT WJJX PAT TOU TO OAIX At H. Kleber & Bro.'a, JTO. 506 WOOD STnEST.

EXPOSITION Nothing like a visit to the Exposition to drive away dull care. Open day and evening. THE MUSIC WORLD. No Benson for Apprehension as to the Plans for the World's Fair. ATTACKS NOT BASED ON PACT. One bj One the Foreign Composere Are 1c ceptipg Invitations. A BDDGET OP GENERAL NEWS ITEMS Mr. Theodore Thomas is notoriously lack ing in tact. His brusque ways and out spokenness have offended a great many peo ple in the course of his long, brilliant career. This unpleasant personal characterise of the man at the head furnishes the only ex planation of the commonly current attacks upon the tuppoud plans of the World's Fair Bureau or Jiuslc. It furnishes no Justifica tion, however. No matter what J ust reason anyone may haye for personally disliking Mr. Thomas, or for objecting to the hasty way In which Mr. Thomas too often ex presses his own views about people and thlnzs, it can form no sufficient excuse for those who are assailing tho Bureau of 3Insio and really doing their best to embar rass and obstruct a cause that ought to com mand the loyal support of all. There Is no actual ground of fact for the gratuitous, but widespread, assumption that American composers and America's representative artists and organizations have been or will be ill-treated or ignored at the World's Fair. The bureau has not. officially or by any member, done or said anything on which this assumption could in fairness oe based. All that has yet been done and raid bv the bureau points the other way. The scheme for the dedication next month makes ample recognition of the American composer in the trco important works to write which Prof. Paine and Mr. Chad wick weie com missioned. AH native composers have been Invited to send into the bureau, by October 15, orchestral, choral or chamber works, either In MS. or print, belnz assured of worthy performance at the Exposition of those works ri-oommended by a special examining committee yet to be announced. Personal requests of like nature have been addressed to native composers of acknowl edged standing. The general outline of what will be done during the Exposition period prorjer, as published in the summer, shows no" intent whatever to ignore the represenlntive artists and organizations of the country. Of course the first question was to provide for an orchestra and chorus that cnuld be re lied on thioughout the season. And Chicago's permanent, local forces must of necessity be looked to a the backbone of these ar rangements. But all the leading choral societies from Pittsburg's own Mozart Club on the east to Kansas City and Omaiia on the west have been invited and have been con sulted in the arrangements to assist en maise in special clioral concerts. As to what mrlher recognition will be glvon to special organizations it is in point to cite the ungracious account of an inter view with Mr. Thomas for the New York Herald (which has been ultra violent in its attacks) as follows: "He was goad enongh to say, however, that all the leading Eastern clubs would be represented at tho fair, but not all would be invited. The invitations would depend only on bis Judgment of their merit. He was un der no other lestrictlons. The amount of the appropriation did not hamper him, and his own Judgment would be supreme. "Then In a burst of generosity he said that the Boston Symphony Orchestra and tho New York Philharmonic Society would re ceive Invitations: In fact, that their officers had been notified several months ago, but the organizations themselves knew nothing aDout it. As for Mr. Damrosch's orchestra he had nothing to say, and in this case it did not seem to be the silence which gives consent. That was all Thomas would s iv for print. He admitted It was more than he Intended to say or should say until ho was ready to make aU the announcements in Chicago." This Is quite enough to show how un founded are the accusations reterred to. The real ctuso of the complaints is that the bu reau has pursued the business-like, sensible policy of making no specific announcements until they can be made positively, and peo ple that think they ousht to be takou into preliminary consultation as to the plans feel disgruntled. The cry of "Czarlsm" and autocracy is arrant nonsense. The best pos sible thing was done when the World's Fair musio was wholly entrusted to three such men as Messrs. Thomas, Tomlins and Wilson and they are taking the best and only practicable course of proceeding quietly and surely to carry out the superb general scheme announced. The evils of having "too many cooks" have been pain fully apparent In the"general management of the Exposition business. It is as admin lstrath e officers that these three men were chosen, and thev are wise not to waste timn and court embarrassment in the work by discussing the pieliininaries with Tom, Dick anu narry. No one need dnubt that from time to time as concluded all the details of a woithyand loyal plan will be officially announced by the bureau In clear, satisfying shape like the following Issued under date of Septem ber II: The Invitation of the Exposition tendered to Dr. A. C. Mackenzie, of London, to visit lis as guest has been accepted. Dr. Mac kenzie will come to Chicago next Sep tember and several programmes of his com positions will be performed. Dr. Mackenzie Is not only one of the foremost of English composeis, but is prominent rs a conductor aud educator.being the principal of thi Koval Academy of .Music and conductor of the London Philharmonic Society, the oldest and most honorable of all existing English musical organizations. Dr. Mackenzie's choral and orchestral works are well known in this country. A comparatively young man. Dr. Mackenzie, is one nf the most scholarly, veisatlle and popular of English musicians. Crochets and Quavers. Sullivah's new opera, "Haddon Hall," text by Grundy, will be first produced at the Savoy Theater, London, next Saturday. Edgar S. Kkllsy's "Furitania" ended Its summer run of 100 nights at the Fremont Theater, Boston, a week or so ago, and will soon be "heard" In New York and, later on the road. Mr.F. W. V. MrjarHT. of Pittsburg, has been encaged as understudy for one of the leading rolea In Catslord Dick's new opera, "Tne Baroness." which is to bo produced at the Royalty Theater, London, early In October. Ms. Hi C. Tnr, who 50 years ago was one of the best pianists and all-round musicians in New York, a fonnderof the Philharmonic Society who lived to see its saml-oentrnnlal, closed bis long career September 7 at Brook lyn, agod 81. Tan young Khedive of Ezypt is credited with the intention or organizing a model military band, and with having summoned to Egypt for this purpose M. Faltis, or the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. Chicago has been distanced; her new band leader was summoned only from Washington. Mb. Dxv E. Ncttmu. has been elected musical director of the Masonlo bodies of the Thirty-second degree In Pittsburg. Sir. Nuttall henceforth forswears the business career and pioposes to devote himself wholly to tenoning aud piactlclnir the art of Fomr, in which he has already become locally woll known. The special musical feature of the ser vices to be held henceforth on S nnday after noon at i o'clock instead of in tne evening at Christ P. E. Church, Union avenue, Alle gheny, will prove very attractive no dnnbt to the many who are at a loss to know bow to put in that Bar t or the day. Miss Smith. of New Castle, is singing there in the ab sence of the regular soprano, Mrs. Spencer. Umder the title of "Denkmaler Deutsober Tonkunst," Breltkopf i. Hartel announce the first volume of compositions tending to illustrate German musical art at different periods of its development. This under taking enjoys the support of the Prussian Government, which has appointed a com mittee, incnding Brahms, Chrysander, Spltts, Helmbnltz and Joachim, as experts to superintend the issue. MAStuaai conducted the flrstviennose per formance of bis "L'Amlca Fritz" at the International Musical and Dramatlo Exhi bition last Thursday and was received with the wildest enthusiasm.

And during tho rest of his European tour the young composer of "Cavalleria" will doubtless be thus lionized everywhere be goes. TscHAiKowskY'a grand opera. "Euzen Oneglu," is to be the ohier novelty of Man ager Lano's fall season In London. It has had tremendous success In Bussla, where the poem of Pushkin, on which the onera is founded, bad already a wide popularity. It will be one of very few operas of the neo Muscovlte school that have been heard In Westerly lands, though the orchestral works of (be same school have been considerably p - aw exploited. The result will be awaited ' interest. " The Barckhoff organ now being erected at the Duquesne Conservatory of Music con tains two manuals and pedal, each of full compass, with 11 speaking stops and five mechanical movements. Tho electric motor, pneumatic action- and other features show the Instrument to be up to the times. Tha concert at the conservatorv next Thursday evening will present a choice programme. In which Mr. Carl Betrer, Mr. Valdemar Papenbrock. Miss Sadio E. Ititts, Miss JulU E. Beach and Mr. Morris Stephens will take part. This item, though repeatedly contra dieted, still keeps afloat: "Fran Coslma Wag. ner has declined permission to allow Parsifal' to be given at the Columbian Ex position." Mrs. Wagner never declined per mission, because it was never asked. That great religious music-drama would bo as manifestly out of place at the World's Fair as the Passion Play. Possibly some Chicago speculators may have been alter the former as they were after the latter. But the Ex position! itself wants nothing to do with either. GOSSIP OF THE GUAKD.

Adjutant General Green land has, however, promised the requisite canvas if the "rod death" becomos epi demic in this localuy. The rifle season of the Guard is almost over, and has so far been barren of inci dents. The local troops have slipped through the season, leaving the laurels on the road side. The State shoot this year was nothing to brag about and was a very common place affair. Only one score during the week's shoot deserved more than a pass ing notice. It was made by a member of tho .Thirteenth Regiment, and was the only effort made dnring the eeVs shoot. The rifle season will to all intents and purpose? close In this vicinity on or about October 15, when tho ltobb medal will be shot for. Tne contest lor this medal is only open to members of the Fourteenth Regiment, an J a 50 cent entrance fee is demanded from all conttstants. Lieutenant Hull, of Company B, was the winner last year. nd expects to have the honor of again winning it.
