HITTING THE LONG TRAIL
There comes a time when each of
us must hit the long trail to a world
that is hidden from the mortal eyts
—a world of which we hear much,
but which we never see while lif'j
lasts. The trail is plainly blazed by
many markings, but it is only trav-

hands, but the taking of them rests
wholly with us_ As we aid in remov-
ing the obstacles from the paths of
our neighbors and friends in this life,
so will the obstructions be lessened
or removed from our own paths when
we take the long tsail. No good act
of ours is so small, no kind word so
insignificent but what it has its re-

BALED MUSIC
(CV HERE'S goln-r to In* a great con-
X cert at the opera house to-
night," said the retired merchant, "am!
if you'll go along with me, I'll pay
your way and buy you five cents' worth
of peanuts. I'm sure nothing eould be
more liberal than
thut."
"You'll break
yourself up in
business if you go
around wasting
your substance in
that fashion," re-
piled the hotel
keeper. But yog
will h a v e to
hunt up another
victim. Since I
bought a phono-
graph and a hunch
of records I have
quit going to
concerts. There's nothing but vanity
and vexation of spirit about an enter-
tainment of that kind. It's advertised
to start at a certain hour, say eight
o'clock, and you are credulous enough
to think that the specifications will be
lived up to. Yon break a hame strap
to get there In time, and when you ar-
rive, at ten minutes to eight, you find
you're the first one there. You sit
around, waiting for an hour or two, and
ppople walk on your feet and sit down
on your hat and make things unpleas-
ant as possible.
"By the time the curtain goes up,
you are wishing you had possessed
sense enough to stay at home. But. be-
ing there, und having paid for the priv-
ilege, you determine to hold Ifer nozzle
agin the bank, as it were.
"The entertainment usually Is
opened by a talksmith. The man who
makes n few remarks always looms up
at such entertainments, and should be
taken to jail for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. When he has
said all that he can think of. the art-
ists begin to dish np the music. It
may be elegant music—it usually is.
But yon can't enjoy it In comfort, for
ihe gentleman with the large splay
foot, in the seat directly behind yon,
persists in beating time with that organ
until he drives you frantic. If you turn
around and dot hiin in the eye, you
will be ejected from the building.
"Then you will find that the woman
with a shrill, carrying voice, who has
heard better singers, sits right in front
of you, and she keeps on talking in a
maddening way. The last concert I
attended had a fine contralto who sang
some stem-winding songs of the kind
we all like. But the woman with the
shrill voice was right in front of me,
and I could hear licr saying: 'Really,
you should hear Margaret Keyes or
Christine Miller sing that selection;
this woman Is impossible as a vocal-
ist.'
"Then a man with a hectic voice
and a name that he imported without
paying duty on y, stood up and whin-
nied like a doggone zebra, and we were
expected to believe that lie was sing-
ing a Neapolitan song. I never heard
anything that filed my nerves the way
that voice did. It recalled the halcyon
days when my father used to sharpen
a bucksaw with a rasp. Well, when
he finished his first number, the ap-
plause was frantic, and he reared up
and did it all over again. Then the
applause was louder than ever, and he
whinnied something else. They kept
that blamed pirate there for half an
hour, and I don't know when I suf-
fered so much.
"The hall was overheated, and I was
Jammed in the middle of n row of seats
so I couldn't get out without climbing
over u number of ladies and gentlemen.
We were kept there for three hours,
and when I got out I swore by my
Sunday hat I'd never go to another
public concert.
"Next day I bought a phonograph
and a lot of records of the kind I like,
und now I enjoy my music. T start It
when I get ready, and quit when I am
tired. No punk singers are encored..
No Windy Jims introduce the singers
with a few pertinent remarks. If a
singer displeases me, I stop the ma-
chine and throw the record Into the
alley. You'd better tear up your con-
cert ticket and come and bear my mu-
sic mill."
