We go through the fame experien- es.in life. A sympathetic personality invests a man's doings with more merit than he sometimes, really pos- sesses. We are even inclified to give him credit for things which, in truth, have little, if any, value. Some poor fellow has to suffer his whole life un- der this bias for the mere surface of in his line ®ut his unlucky personal- ity is in his way. He is awkward, shy, and with no charm of manner. No- body will acknowledge his merits. If one happens to speak of him, some- body changes the subject of conver- sation when he is mentioned. On the contrary, let a lovely graceful smiling girl, all dressed in white, trip to the piano and play a plece evén in-a me- diocre manner, and we all applaud heartily, we shake hands with her, we tell her nice things, pour flattery in her ears only 'causing her to smile a | bit more.

Such is life! Musical Pessimists It is.rather interesting to note that since Caruso became iH, there has been a constantly Increasing tend- |ency to conténd that the world is [suffering from a dearth of really | first-class voices, and in making this | aveertion some people wag their heads as though reciting a direful portent. Now this is rot at all clear that the lack of first rank voices | | | really exists except in the imagina- | tions and prejudicas of a few hyper- critical people. figures in the vocal field are still going up and déwn tre land and-to and fro in it, and arc even gracing [the rosters of the opera companies, | Some of the younger vocalists, not yet at full stature, reveal! remark- able and reassuring promise. However, assuming existence of the lack bf which the pessimists tell us, it can only be transitory, and it is of comparatively small moment as accompanied by a dearth of great artists. The great singing artist is of infinitely mora importance than the person who merely has a great voice, The great artist with a good voice is the real solid pillar of voca! music. He or she keeps things going and makes the field for the career of the occasional person who has cianship. Only when solid musician- ship declines in the vocal field will there be any need to worry about the Discontented Little Grasshop- per. Johnny Grasshopper brushed the dust from his little gray sult' with his front feet, and shook out his wings. He was tired of the mcadows and the brook, tired evef of his friends, and was trying to decide which way.to go for a change. "I'm tired of all this. I really think a change would do me good," he chirped aloud. "Well, I don't know but I agree ith you!" sighed Tilly Tumble Bug. 'I was just saying to Hiram this morning, I'm getting mighty tired of rolling up mud balls day in and day out. I'd like a change myself. But, dear me, where are you going? 1 rever knew there was anything else but meadow lands." The hopper. "But how could one who does nothing but roll nud balls he expect- ed to know anything else?

"Indeed, I'll not eat you!" snap- ped Tippy Turtle, when he saw Tilly Tumble Bug hesitating. "Jump on my back and I'll see you safe to the other side." .The three friends climbed upon Tippy Turtle's back and he carried them over to the other bank and let them off. 3 Away they scampered over the grasses to the big road. Johnny Grasshopper thought it better travel- ing for Cheery Cricket and Tilly Fumble Bug, as the tall grasses in the meadow had seemed to hinder théir progress. But, dear me, the dust was so thick Tilly Tumble Bug could hardly run through it, and then it kept them all busy keeping out of the way of the trampling feet of the horses, and from under the wheels of the wagons. It was a sorry-looking trio that at.last reached the lovely green garden, tired, dus'y and hun- | gry. rest, a hen, or a rooster would pounce at them, then they'd have to scurry to save their necks. All that day the chickens kept them hustling, hopping and hiding to save their skins. And when night came the three friends, still tired, dusty and hungry, crept under a stone wall to rest.
