"on, y ble is he trust me Why He Hesitated. “If you're not feeling well why don’t you go to your doctor? Can’t you trust him?" The home is the centre of a na- tion's life. The cornerstone of the state is the hearth stone. What a wonderful influence good music has in the home? It gives a spiritual atmos- phere which forms an unconscious nurture to the unfolding life of the soul. Let us bring therefore into the home the best of music. Each child should be taught to play some instru- ment. Music gives expression to the joys of the wedding feast, it interprets the soul’t grief as man stands at the open grave. He lifts his heart to the Eter- nal God in hymns of praise, and pleads for forgiveness in the Miserere of penitence. The development of this precious gift and talent we should covet for every child in home, and church, and school. Music is a kind of inarticulate, un« fathomable speech which at times leads us to the very edge of the in-- finite, and bids us for the moment gaze into the far off and the eternal. It is sometimes deeply mysterious and ' stranger innate. No tribe, however low and degraded, has ever been found which has been indifferent to music. It is said that even the African pyg- mies are innater musical. Nature is full of music. The wind sweeps across the meadows, and in minor key touch- es the pine tree and the cypress. The ' mountain brook sings its song on its way to the sea, and the birds are vocal with their Creator's praise. Yet it is not in nature itself save through the chords it reaches in the human soul. Music is from within the mind and heart of man. As such its powers are beyond comparison and its influence beyond measure. It enters into man’s soul, in his joys and his sorrows, his hopes and his fears.

When you’re raising wheat in western Kansas, it’s a sort of gamble like any other business; sometimes you lose entirely, some- times you win. The Boss struck two lucky harvests, which with his big acreage meant that he was a rich man but he never seemed to know it; he worked harder than ever, and ex- pected his helpâ€"and the little Missus ._.to do the same. He worked his men like dogs; never was able to keep them more htan one season; only one reason in the world was big enough to kee me thereâ€"~the fact I stated . in the eginning concerning the grass- ho per and the star. It was a rather al’e little star these days. We didn’t ave any fibre music; she was always too tired.

He never seemed to notice it at all and, as the months went by and he ex- pected more and more of her, the sorry look went away and a. glinty, sort-ofâ€"defiant look came in its place. And how she did work! I would never have believed such. a little mite could have accom lished so muchâ€"cooking for all the elp, raising chickens and making butter. I used to churn for her, evenings, after my day’s work outside was done; she grew to expect it of me and the Boss didn’t object. In fact, the Boss seemed to have for- gotten everything except that the Al- mighty Dollar was around the next corner and he might not get there in time to catch it. Some men are like that.

The Boss decided it wasn’t necessary to renew themâ€"with all the housework she wouldn’t have much time to read‘ anyway. She didr.’t seem to mind so much for she was always busy then, crocheting filmy lace or sewing on; some little white things that were tucked into her workbasket whenever I came around. I’ve always wondered if the Boss would have been different if the baby had lived. Anyway it look- ed to me like she needed it for com- pany, more than the angels did. To begin with, I’ve loved the little Missus ever since I first set eyes on herâ€"but Lord bless you! she has never suspected it and never shall; a grasshopper does not presume to chirp its love to a star but; I suppose there’s no law to hinder it from adoring at its own respectful distance or from carrying wood and water which the imoo‘n very- conveniently forgets. _ We had always had Old Nancy in the kitchen but the Boss allowed there wasn’t any use to keep her any longer. It seemcdto be that way about ’most everythingâ€"the Boss presented the pros but the cons were not presented. The little Missus she; just took things in her meek Way that made me wonder why on earth the Boss couldn’t have shined up to Dutch Sally down the road, or anybody that was capable of sitting down on him, occasionally. She brought her piano with her and the way her fingers flew over the keys was wonderful. She used to sing even- ings, too, happy little melodies that kept ringing in your ears long after the Boss had gone to bed and her cull), head wasrburied in a magazine. I’ll never forget the day the BOSS brought her home.
