IT PLAYED ONE TUNE.
LIMITED REPERTORY OF THE ST. JOE
CORNET BAND.
First Piece It Learned and the Solemn
Occasion on Which It Wan Rendered.
"Music by the Band" at the School Ex
hibition Old Timers Look Back.
*
Two moil were at a table overlooking
Michigan avenne. They were unmistak
ably from some place in the west. They
had the good old time manners which
are becoming scarce in every section.
They were ( JO or maybe 70 years each.
One of them was reading the naws to
the other one.
The one who was reading stopped and
said : "I'll be doggoned if Sam Stone
ain't dead. It says here that lie died in
Topeky , Kan. You remember Sam
Stone. Ho wrote that old song , ' Wait
For the Wagon and We'll All Take a
Ride. ' "
"Hain't thought of it 30 year , Cy , "
replied the old man opposite him.
"Let's see , how did it go ? something
like this" the old man puckered his
lips and tried to whistle the air , hut the
sound from his > mouth resembled that
of a hungry wind through a keyhole.
"Jim , you're getting wind wasted.
Gutting old. Fellows like you and me
can't whistle. Better hum it , Jim. "
And Jim * hummed it while Cy beat
tiuin witJi his fingers on the table.
"I had forgot , Cy , who it was that
wrote it. "
"Yes , it was Sam Stone. I'd 'bout
forgot it myself till I see it in that
morning paper. "
"Sam Stone was 84 , so the paper says.
He died in Topeky , where he'd lived
about 28 years. That was a great old
song in its day. "
"That and 'Pop Goes the Weasel. ' "
"But 'Wait For the Wagon' was the
most catching. I remember it was the
first piece that the St. Joe ( Mo. ) cornet
band learned to play. And just then
there was a man died in St. Joe who
was a high roller in the Masonic lodge
in the town , and a mighty popular man
he was. Of course he was buried with
Masonic rites , and the lodge committee
called on the leader of the baud to en
gage the band's service. It was the first
job the baud had , and as it was in debt
for the snare dram and the big horn
here was a chance to get even.
"So the leader got a retainer , and
then he told the committee that the
band couldn't play only one piece , and
that was'Wait For the Wagon. ' The
leader said it was not built on dead
march time , but by playing it low and
muffling the big drum he could make it
sound solemn. So the baud turned out
at the funeral and it played ' Wait For <
the Wagon' all the way out to Mount
Moriah cemetery. Some of the boys
about town had a hard time looking sad ,
especially Ben Ullman , the big butcher ,
who was one of the pallbearers. Ben
was the funny man of the town , any
how.
how."I
"I remember Ben , Cy. "
"I knowed you did. As I was saying ,
it was hard to keep straight faces , the
band playing that tune , going out to
the grave. Coming back there was near
ly a xow. The high muck a muck of the
lodge told the leader of the band he had
better change the music , and then the
leader said the baud couldn't play any
thing else , and that he had told him so.
The procession marched dowu Frederick
avenue coming back and it commenced
to rain , so that the lodge it was the
Zeredathah chapter , as I remember had
to quicken their steps , and that put the
band out. " &l
"Of course , Cy. You cau't iiarch
double quick on slow music. But go on. ' '
"Well , the only thiug for the band to
do was to liven up the tune , and that
was what raised Old Ned. The newspa
per came out next week with a piece in
it as long as your arm saying it was a
disgrace , and that if the band expected
the citizens to help pay its debts it had
better learn some music that would be
appropriate at funerals , as people were
liable to die any time. Of course that
made the band rnad. "
"Of course , Cy. But what did they
do ? "
"Stopped their papers. Then when
Neely's academy gave the school exhi
bition in the Presbyterian church on the
hill , the band was engaged and put in
the gallery , which was in one end of
the church. The band opened the exer
cises with 'Wait For the Wagon. ' Then
the pastor of the church prayed , and
the band played 'Wait For the Wagon'
again. The programme consisted of es
says compositions they called them
then declamations and some dialogues ,
and scattered along through the pro
gramme was 'music by the band , ' and
every time it played 'Wait For the
Wagon. ' It got to be as good as a cir
cus. I remember the leader of the baud
died a good many years agoT and the
piece in the paper about him said he
wrote'Wait For the Wagon , ' but the .
paper was wrong. It was Sam Stone
who wrote it , him that has just died in
Topeky. "
' 'It all comes back to me now , Cy.
But all I can remember is the tune and
the first two lines :
"Wait for the wagon , '
And we'll all take a ride. "

They Never Sleep.
There arc several species of fish , rep
tiles and insects which never sleep.
Among fish it is now positively known ,
that pike , salmon and goldfish never
sleep at all ; also that there are several
others of the fish family that never sleep
more than a few minutes during a
month. There are dozens of species of
flies which never indulge in slumber
and from three to five species of serpents
which the naturalists have never yet
been able to catch napping.

THE FOUR SEASONS ,
As Viewed by the Doctor , Eatber
Than the Artist.
We often see in the magazines
reproductions of famous pain Hugs
representing the Four Season ' s.
They are generally personated by
beautiful women , and the typical
spriug is generally a young girl.
She is buoyant and elastic , her
her eyes are full of fire , her form
lissom aud graceful. Her cheeks
flush with health and there breathes
from the canvas the impression of
radiant health.
It is true , we sometimes see our
young women in such a state of
health in the spring-time ; but it is
the exception. Depression aud lan
guor are generally in evidence and
the drooping , listless figure of the
school girl , the drngging step of
the housewife , are seen in nearly
every home. Perfect health is rare
in any season , but this is especially
so in the spring. The great major
ity of the people need a tonic in the
spring. There are a great mauy
tonics and they are all taken by the
people to a greater or less extent.
But the one that seems mosc pop
ular at this time of the year is Pe-
ru-na. It strengthens the weary
body , invigorates the nerves and
clears the mind. It leaves no bad
effect upon the system when it is
discontinued. The fact of the ef
ficacy of Pe-ru-iia as a spring tonic
is becoming more widely known
every spring. More Pe-ru-na is
being taken this spiing than ever
before. The people have learned
that it is unfailing , and so do not
experiment , but immediately buy
Pe-ru-na when the old listlessness
of "spring fever" overtakes them.

man's latest book on this and kin

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and
let it stand twenty-four honrs ; a sediment or
settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is posi
tive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder ,
are out of order.

The prevalent low price of corn does
not seem to concern the farmers very
