In the quietness of our dene, or at such other time as we may lay aside for a moment the responsibility of real life we let our mind wander In futile fancy, living over and over the Joys of that realm where no one ever grow eld, and where all is youth and springtime everlasting, and April la tha only month. vSiT ,k. t. ,k. k , i suii mu i 4 as i v ciixmwv u v Wendy and the rest of th Darling away Into the world of the unreal?

I it well that we should remain forever young, that we should nover grow up, either In mind or body?

Finally, when be find, himself harnessed to the chariot of life, tugging away with all his strength at the load of mankind, he realises that "Knowledge comes, but WUdom lingers, and he bears a laden breast, full of sad experience." It was a poet who had not exhausted his youth who sang: The cloae of out ' day' the calm eve of our night Olve me back, gbre me back the wild freshness of morning.

A serenity mark the closing hour ot the useful llfu that Youth can not hope to know anything of. No, Peter Pan; we wouldn't wander for ever with you tn Never Never land If we could; we want to grow up, and do our hare In the work of thla weary old world, and help to act the mark of mankind aa far ahead a possible before the day comes when w alt with folded bands, waiting for the hour to strlko when "vain goeth to hi long horn."

In It la a chapter on "inaklna- carap" which fairly bursts with hard earned wisdom. All Mr. White' thoughts and word apply to thoroughly to any task, of life. I've been camping enough to have the clean cut economical effort of a good woodsman appeal aoutely to me and tha slap dash, helter skelter work of wm0X7 Tents that blow away to a .torm. -wrui, beds on dumpy ground, meals that are, smoky and burned. O, I like the way Mr. White exaots from himself the last ounce of systematic work that greases the wheels of wtiafactory accomplishment. He aaya; "Whll you are consuming tha supper you will hang over aoma woIap tn ku tnr v. dlah washing, and the dish washing you " - -v. wlU attend to the moment vou ftniah eat- S-- i. . . . .... mg. Do not commit the fallacy of slttlna- down for a little rest But to finish th Job completely while you are at It. You will appreciate your leisure so much more later." How many musical peopla sit down to rest and leave their musical dlah wash ing till the morning, when there are other things calling to be done. The whole scheme of order ts thrown out, and Instead of a clean field and every preparation made, confusion lays its heavy finger on progress. Mr. White further says: "We earn our leisure by forethought. Make no move until you know it follow the line of great. economy. To putter 1 to wallow m endless desolation." (Borne day I'd liko to write a little homily on tho above aentence & applied to modern housekeeping. That diverge too far from the purposes of this oolumn). Who doesn't pray for a clear mind to see things consecutively and with conviction then for power to make a good Plan and relentlessly carry It out? The people who school themselves to system ar the one who get omewhere In the course of a life span. Strange to relate, they have time for the graces of existence as well a the seriousness, nere is what one man who has much that is worth while to his credit says: "You will dis cover that busy men can always find time, and that it la only idle men who never have any leisure," It would be pleasant to evolute to the point where not more than a hundred thing were hounding vou to be tmmedl. . , M - - To tw at Charle, Lamb a little, Mentally I am disposed to work, but or- IT" .1' 01 waning.

Omaha people are to have a treat this next week In the Dues band, which will begin an engagement Monday in the open air pavllllon at Krug park, Th band will play every day from 4 to 6 In the after noon and to 11 In the evening.

Now In every audience there are these dif ferent listeners, each one bound up tn his own musical god. And the true Interpreter must so arrange his program as to please all. He munt satisfy ths Beethoven en thusiast and the lover of a Strauss waits. He must please the Wagnerian and tlckli th palate of the sentimentalist.
