Meats & Hugen H HER POINT OF VIEW S I can't imagine hating an.vbody deep ly enough to wish to poison him by mall, or to "do awav" with him other wise, can joit' Of coutse it can be conceived that In a nt of ungovern able rage a man might kill another while the swift Instinct of jnuidei might dwell but nn Inbtant In his heart, but to deliberately plan for weeks or months to murder any one Is beyond comprehension, aside even from the fear of possible consequences. To bo sure there nie people one would walk five blocks to avoid meeting. There are women -who pimply wink their two eyes a little more swift! than ordinarily to Indicate a bow and there are men who net lib If It were a laborious effort to lemovo their hats, or who con sider a feml-mllltniy attempt at a sa lute to be a pollto recognition. Of course one can actively dislike such people, and wish it were possible not to meet them on the street, but not to the extent of deslilng their death or of assisting them to be removed from eaith. Then there nro our enemies, somo of whom, as Mr Dooleysays: Wo "wouldn't like to do without" They hate us cordially for somo reason or reasons of their own more or less faul ty nnd more or less Indicative of bad taste. We are In the habit of salng wc don't cait, but down In our hearts w e do caro a lot. Wo all have a bump of pelf-npprohntheneg and like to bo liked. It makes us feel uncomfortablo to bo In tho name room with n person wo know detests us. Sometimes If It wore not for our pride we would prob ably go tip to that poron and say: "Now you know I'm not In the least to blame for this unpleasantness. By all rules of Judgment nnd reason you ought to llko me. We're on the same earth and have tn live In th" same town for the present Lot's drop this hating business nnd be on good terms. It's an awful nuisance for our friends to try to keep us apart ns It wo wero in tending to shoot each other at sight. They don't dare ask us to dinner nt the same time nnd whenever they hap pen to mention ono of us In the pies ence of the other, thiv look apologetic nnd net as If wo weie about to club them Let's make tho best of each other for appearance's, snle any way." t But we neer do sn nil that What we do Is to tnko ourselves ostenta tiously awny fiom the lclnlty of our enemy nnd look Injuied because he lna been invited to the same house, nnd wo don't linv n good time It Is so de pressing to our self-conceit to be foiced to rcalbe that somebody hates us nnd that we nte likely to se him nt any moment. The old Peislan poet hail tho right iden when he said' "Ho who has all the world for friends Has not a friend to spare. But he who hno ono eueni, Shall meet him everywhere." There is nobody so ubiquitous as an enemy and no one for whose exist ence we can find less excuse. He may stand In our way of a fortune, a sweet heart a wicath of fame, a pedestal of position or own to the gateway of heaven. If he had any sense of pro priety he would betake himself to Nic aragua, or the Klondike, or perhaps to Wall street any wheie beyond our hoiizou But ho does none of these wise things. Ho persists in stayint; right on the spot where he can dlstuib our equnnnnlmlty and the enjoyment of our religion. But we don't wish him dead. We might not rofube to bo comforted If he should liapiKrn to die, but we wouldn't rejoice. In fact we would piobabl fuel a stunned pense of horror as If the dislike, deep or trivial, which we had hidden in our hearts, had some how daited forth and smitten tho one lying now so helpless with no cnlcnl smile on the solemn lips, no gleam of Instinctive dttiust from the close shut ces. As for pending our enemy something by mall whether a bottle of bromo seltzer or a box of Hiiler's which would swiftly end his life If he tested the contents, It Is Inconceivable. To the average mind, halted so cruel, so bitter so diabolical as this Is not with in the scope of Imagination. We can never bo exactly sure of what is going on in another person's mind. Apropos of the above subject an Incident ma be related. A cltlren of S-'ranton, noted for his gentle and beautiful character was walking across the bildge to the West Side with a frlnd with whom he was chatting In his oustomat genial manner Sud denly he paused and looked over the bildge's edge down the great d'stnnce to the surface of the liver Then ho lemaiked quietly: "I know a whole lot of men, enough to 1111 this stiing pleca clear acrosswhom I'd like to see standing along hero in a row, and then I'd llko to knock them over the edge one by one-to " And he illustrated his meaning bv sending a bit of wood Hying into th liver TUp friend looked at him in dumb amazement. ' I never heard ni.ything like that in my life," he ejaculated nf terwatd Th mildest, gentlest, klnd-est-hcaited man ou ever knew! and yet he meant that.

Alfred Pennington, direc tor of tho Hcruiiton Conservatory of Music and organist of Kim Park church, hnu consented to reply In the Saturday Tribune to qiiistions concerning muplo and musical topics neked by Trlbuuo read ers. Every reader interested in music Is at liberty to nsk for Information Ques tions mnv be nddrosseil to "Muxlcal Question Box, rare of Tribune." or thoy may bo addressed to Professor Penning ton. Only tho writers' Initials will appear In connection with tho answers to their questions Thev may sign llctltlous In itials If thoy ucslro to remain entirely unknown. C. L. I would llko your opinion re garding the best method of Improving congregational singing. Answer. In lost Saturday's "Quss tlon Box" one most Important Item In the Improvement of congregational singing was treated. The advantage of having a hymn sung to ono pellicular tune, and no olhpr, was discussed at some length. I did not say then, but I w 111 pay now, that this idea Is by no means original with me. I simply gave expression to tho opinion held by some of tho most thoughtful among i hutch musicians of the present day, an opin ion which my own expcilenco has over and over again pioved true. Granting then that each hymn should have Us own tune, to which It must nlwavs be sung, let its consider the rtyle nnd character of the tunes themselves. How shall they be har monized? Shall wo have an entlic tune haimonlzed with only about three or four different chords, or shall we have a change of haimony with nlmost every note of the melody? To the llrst class belong tunes like Dennis (which has only thiee different bass notes throughout) nnd tho melodies to what is known ns "Gospel Hymns" To the second class belong such tunes ns "Old Hundied," "Saint Ann's," "Qiindco," and "Saint Thomas," the splendid cho. rals of Get many and the ilchly har monized modem English hymn-tunes. The first variety, especially those of tho "Gospel Hymn" tpe, arc so sim ple in their make-up that thoy are eas ily learned even in the four nails, yet so lacking are they in vaiiety of har mony that, like the popular songs of the day, they are discarded In a short time somewhat as last Spring's bon net (which nt the time was just the sweetest thing) or ns last Fall's stle of top coats must give way to the newer stvles There is this difference, how ever; fashion decrees the change in the one case, in the other their very simplicity and "catehlness" hold In them the seeds of decay and omlv death. But to the second variety of hymns, with their noble, rich and Insphlng haimonles.thlsobjectlon Is urged: "they ate too difficult for congregational use." By no means. The heart con gregational singing of Germany which has a hlstoiy reckoned by centuiies, entirely dlspioves this assertion If you mean that these constantly changing hai monies make all the paits except the melody too dlfllcult for any but trained singers you aie quite light. But these parts in a hmn tune need not be sung at all And now I am about to announce an axiom which has tho most Important bearing of all In eongiegatlonal singing- Tho melody SHOULD BE SUNG IN UNISON Ever body, men, women and children, should sing the melody and leave the harmony to the oi gan. There are sev - eiai leasons for this. First, theie is an Inspliatlon, an uplifting, in sev eiai hundred voiced joining heaitlly In the same melodv which when once heard an nev er be forgotten Second, a mel ody Is quickly learned b an body who can sing a tune at all, especially if a congiegation as a whole slrg the mel ody. Third, the melody to the finest class of lijmn tunes, no mattc-r how rich and vailed the harmonies ire al ways singable nnd easllj learned routth, leaving the harmonies to the organ eliminates a huge amount of discontent singing. Have ou ni-ver but by somebod In thuich who was positive he could sing bass but who simply giowled some where in the lower octave ' The hmn was completely spoiled for you tend our devotional spirit gave plate to one of annoyance und vexation You wMieil he had a wife with him like Jo-iah Allen's wife who would 'ketch holt of him" and beg him to desist. And theie Is the ladv who declares that although she doesn't know a note of music she can "sing n sec ond to nmthliif.-" She ought to sav that she nlw;is sings n fifth to everything in other wends that instead of singing auv one ot the tour piinted parts in the music she manufactuies a. fifth pail which is amenable- to none of the ac cepted laws of harmony. If tho whole congiegation sings the melod diflicultles In learning now hymn-tunes or choials cease to exist The splendid productions ot a long lino ot composers dating fiom centuilf-s back to the ptesent nie nt once avail able. It Is on account of tin- dignity and et simplicity of the melodies, to gethci with their rich hai monies, that the mind nevi grows tiled of them. Now supposing that our hymnal is piinted with ench hymn having its ap piopilato tune to whl'h it is ,ihwis sung, und our church provides itsi it with n silfllcicnt number of copies. Now-come- unother tremendously Impoitatit fa tor In the Iinpiovement of congre gational singing: The same book should be Used In all tho hervlces of th"- chut ch, Including the Sunday school. I see no more learon why the dl'feient sen Ices of the church should each requite- diffeient hinn bool's than that thev should each icqulie it differ ent Bible Eveiy piopeily constiucted limnal contnins a vaiiety of hmns suitable to all tho varied expr-rlences of the human heart. This subject will be considered further In next S itur da's Tribune. MufIcus.
