"Ob, why should tha spirit of mortal be
proud t"
Yes, why should a thought of the kind ba
allowed?
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."

ATTACKS NOT BASED ON PACT.

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.

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. Despite the very
hlgn prices the house could have been sold
out three times, so great was the Interest.
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 '

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.

The armory of the Fourteenth Infantry,
on Market street, is receiving a general
r overhauling. All the company rooms are
being scrubbed and cleaned and thoroughly
disinfected. Several or the commands aro
having their rooms repainted and repa
pered. Thxivb Is no truth In the rumor that tho
guard will be called out to prevent or fight
the entrance or cholera. The matter has
not as yet received the attention of the com
mander In chief. 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. There
is a probability that several other medals
will be offered before the season closes, and
that the individual members of all three
organizations will compete for them.
