In the scale, of the prevent, how truly the
"aylng la brmisht home, "No man ever

We have forgotten a good deal of the
griefs of the pant, and nre now doubtless
stating our present griefs aa largely and
an heavily as It la possible. And If our
griff Is of that quality, so Intense and
profound that It cannot be atated, we are
dwelling on It In thought with pronounced
energy (which la worse for us).
one feels t tlmea that It would be
wicked ro try to alleviate the gloom or
to lighten the, grief. And yet the One who
was called the "Mm of Eorrowa" waa
heard to say: "If ye loved Me, ye would
rejoice !'
It would bo a good thing If we could
learn the lesson at thia Thanksgiving per
iod be great lesson that we abould try to
atate our griefs aa lightly aa we poaalbly
could.

fronted with the houra of apparent do
ffat, wherein the powers of darkness
seem to encompass one on " all sides;
when braien Ignorance or serpentine in
difference seem to be enthroned,
.but Jet the teacher then look towards
the Light, and It will be found that the
impressing; gloom of the situation may
be brightened by the fact that among
"the many" who refuse to ha uniiistmai
there are the "faithful few" who are try
ing their very beat to reflect the light
orttlmee we, despair when we think of
the .many etutfenta who wlU not catch the
Inspiration or the spirit which we are try

sufficient weight to the few who are really
trying to rarry out our Instructions and
lo muka our ideas their means of working?
Al this Thanksgiving time we should all

wlm' an- really working along the lines
which we lay down for their guidance, and
fed upon that. "In our hearts, with
thanksgiving," Instead of looking at the
majority of those who are Indifferent, or
laav. or wasteful of their talents.
After all. It Is the "111110 leaven" which
leercneth the whole lump.
Oftener than you think, kindly reader, the
one who writes. this' column goes Into the
dark garden of discouragement, and aska
himself wiry he should try to tell the
truth as It appear to him. and be re
warded only with misunderstanding, mts
constiucilun and mlsjudgment. And then
there comes to Mm Just a little note of
appreciation, or Just a few words from
some kindred spiilt and the world Is
bright again, and someone has read and
has understood and has been helped; and
the writer rejoices because he has ben
understood, and his heaviness of spirit
pssses away and he sees that he could
have stated his griefs more lightly than
he did.
On this great Thanksgiving festival the
musical crlllo nf The nee Is very thank
ful for the few who understand and for
the frt that he has learned the lesson
that "No msn ever stated his griefs as
lightly aa he might."

Mr. Sotwakl's song recital is creating
much curiosity and it is looked forwatd
to with active Interest, Mr. Bobeskl haa
prepared a program which Is a challenge
to all local singers to extend their scope;
such musicians are needed here.
The election of Mr. Taft seems to hmve
created "confidence" among pianists and
musicians generally, aa well as In the
business world. If one Is to Judge by the
appended list of programs. The Bee will
certainly be obliged to appoint some as
sistant musical editors If this business
keeps np. Think of the average person
listening intently to all of these pro
grams. There certainly la a feast for
the most hungry
Mr. Ffitxner. who plays his first re
cital here, la a man who has a splendid
reputation as a musician and as an artist.
It Is quite certain that he will prove very
interesting, if The Bee critic is not en
tirely misinformed. And they will find
plenty of appreciation.
It is a pleasure. Indeed, to draw atten
tion to the remarkable program prepared
for the Tueaday Morning Moelrale mem
bera. The presentation of such a com
bination aa the French modern program
and the recital of pianoforte music by
Mrs. Ilerxog, already a fa-or!te here, on
one morning is a tremendous undertak
ing and one that will reflect much glory
upon Mrs. Kats, who has charge of It
and who never does anything In an in
different manner.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Oahm have been
meeting with splendid success In tholr
recital work. A friend of The Bee music
column happened to be In one of Ne
braska's best known cities a week ago
and, seeing an announcement that Mr.
and Mrs. Uahm would play that night,
he went to hear them. He spoke enthusi
astically of the recital.

Mr. Max I.andow presented his talented
pupil. Mr. Martin Bush, in a piano recital
on Wednesday evening last, at Schmoller
ft Mueller hall. Thta practically Intro
duced Mr. Bush formolly to the profea
sional inartistic world as a concert player
and teacher. He has been known for some
time as a church organist (and one of the
best), snd also as a concert accompanist.
Mr. Bush gave a very Interesting program
and his playing elicited mnch enthusiastic
comment and well merited applause.

"Did It ever occur to you," asked the
asslatant paaaenser agent, "how inxm,
prlately many of ths railroads of the coun
try are named? Borne of them have tar
outgrown the modeat titles with which they
started and others have never realised ths
rand ambitions of their Infancy. Take the
New Tork. New Haven Hartford, for
Instance. New Haven and Hartford are
now mere way stations. Hartford Isn't
even on the main line. It would have been
logical If the road had taken the name of
the New Tork & New England, one of the
smaller concerns which It gobbled up about
fifteen years ago; but. of course, mere ex

Of all the queer clubs that exist in ths
world you will find some of the queerest
In Lancashire. Englsnd. One of these ts
called the "Henpecked" club As the title
indicates, the members are all males, and
you come across a club In almost every
Lancashire town of any sixe.
The meetings are held, as a rule. In
some bar parlor, and the discussions are
about members, and very often non-members,
who have the reputation of being
henpecked. When evidence has been
brought to show that a particular man
haa allowed himself to come under his
wife's thumb they tax him with it In the
place of meeting. The president delivers
a lecture on the danger of a husband
(permitting his wife to usurp his position
ss master, and when the others have en
dorsed his remarks the person to whom
the speeches are addressed Is warned
that If hs continues to stand the hen
pecking he will be made the subject of a
demonstration.
The announcement that a "henpecked"
club demonstration Is to take piste is
received In the district with mixed feel
ings. The men applaud It and ths
women condemn It. and the local police.
recalling similar displays that led to
trouble, become a little anxious. On the
evening appointed the members of Ih
club meet at a public house, where they
arm themselves with all kinds of house
hold utensils; then, led by conrertins
players or a tin whistle band, they start
out and march along the crowded streets
of the district.
One man carries a broom, another a
swab, a third a shovel, or a coal scuttle,
pr a fender, or poker. Fire tong. blaik
lead brushes, washtubs, buckets every
thing used In the home. In fact. Is carried
shoulder high. Aa they march along to
the music In front and the discordant
clanging of their baggage they sing
anatches of songa. In which the name of
the victim occurs often.
The mlKnlon of the verses, which have
been specially composed for the occasion
by a local poet, la to hold up the hen-
perked one to ridicule, the reason for the
demonatratora bearing the household
goods being, of course, to remind bim that
having fallen under petticoat government
quickly he will become the atavey.
When they reach the cottage where
their victim resides they form a circle
In front of the door and sing and clang
their fenders and coal scuttles more
loudly than ever.
The man inside Is Invoked by the preal-
dent during a halt In the program to
"be a man" and Join hie brethren. Borne
times If he looks upon the affair as more
of a joke than anything else he does
their bidding, and they reform and march
to headquarters with htm at the head,
t'sually, however, hla wife appears In
stead with a bucket of soapy water,
whlclk she promptly throws over the
demonstratora, or she quickly causes a
clearance with a hose pipe.
To the onlooker it just an exhibition
for laughter and nothing more, but be
hind the scenes there IS generally a lot
of trouble and heartachlng. A good num

gpeak of the sunset to the man of the
weat. Into hla mental vlaion springs the
picture of a golden gate filled to Its rocky
brim with a flood of glorious coloring, com
mingling with land and sea and sky; or
there springs the picture of an El Capitan
ethereallard by a baptism In ths fires of
heaven; or there springs the picture of a
boundless ocean of tinted sands from which
the colore have been gathered and flung
.gainst the limitless horison of the far be
yond; or there springs the picture of mile-
Jeep canyons, with thsir turrets and towers
of painted rocks which catch the f!elng
shafts of color and of light, impale them
for the moment and then fling them to the
next Jugged peak, there to cast their mxrlid
colored reflections Into the depths of the
chasm.
An ancient philosopher has said that sen
timent Is ths most potent factor In the
world. Here In the Tosemlte the sentiment
of the pauses between the fading of the
llg-ht and the coming of the darkness, be
tween the death of the day and the ascend
ency of the night, between the conquering
of the night and the triumphant return of
the day. Ilea upon the soul like an unction
from heaven. It la this sentiment, bom of
the perfection of nature, which teaches the
true definition of sunset, of twilight, of
night, of dawn and of sunrise.
Camp Anwahnee. called by the name
which live Indians gave to Tosemlte
Aftwahnee. "Deep Valley" Is pitched at
what I like to term a psychological point
of the valley, one of the points from which
the charms of the Tosemlte mass and mar
shal themselves for Uie complete lmpara
dlsement of th lover of nature. It Is at
the baae of the) great Sentinel rock, which
rises more than t.000 feet above the floor
of the valley, mora than T.OOS feet above
sea level, and haa a facade of mors than
1.600 feet of perpendicular stone. It stands
back a little from the road oa a gentle
slope which Is covered with pino and oak
and cedar trees, aad front the door ot your
