Hanover, Kaa., Nov. 22ad.-The tall
tenor, the short second teaor, the fat
basso and the medium sized baritone
with your lean humble servant, plunged
into bleeding Kaasaa last aight through
the storm. The wind blew saow baaka
into our faces as we left the train, and
the committee at the train to meet ua
threw cold water in our open coaatsa
ancee, figuratively apeakiag, whea they
aaaoaaced that there wrald.be ao con
cert. They said that there weeld not
be enough audience to catch a pig oa
such a sight, and so we were hustled off
through the straggling streets of ths lit
tle German village, and lodged in divers
places.
As force. I drew a prize. I aaa
bundled into the front end of a lumber
man'a office, but the cheer looked slim
at the first glance, the clouds soon clear
ed, for the aoand of rattling plates, the
bum of a singing tea kettle and the gen
tle aroma of tea and good things soon
greeted my nostrils, and when the glist
ening snow was well shaken from my
clothing, I was taken into a back room
where waa light and cheer and a dainty
little housewife smilingly await.
It ao happened that th lumberman
and his wife had taught school in days
gone by, and they were right good talk
ers. The hours slipped by till bedtime
with talks oo literature and school an
ecdotes and the history of the little
town.
When the clock struck ten we retired
and I remembered no more until the
coffee mill sounded a home sick strain
in my ears this 'morning. It haa been
many a weary year since I have heard
the sound of a coffee mill in the morn
ing, and the sound took me away back
into the realm of childhood, where I
saw my mother, young and happy, with
a group of laughing boys around her.
Such a little thing will sometimes un
lock the doors of memory and let out
the ghosts that have been hidden away
sacredly for years!
The trip from Lincoln waa a merry
one. The driving storm seemed to set
every one's nerves to tingling. The
members of the quartet acted like frisky
colts let loose from the irksome stall,
and joke acd laughter and brilliant re
partee sounded through the car. There
were Interludes of weary waiting on ac
count of the storm, and it seemed some
times aa if the train would never start
again, but after stopping innumerable
times we got into Wymore.
I don't say that Wymore ia a pretty
town, nor a cheerful town under any
circumstances, but oa a day like yester
day it is one of the most desolate places
that ever waa made, and I actually be
lieve that the wind can blow harder and
colder around some of the corners in
that town than any place I ever had the
misfortune to get into.
We left the train with appetites that
would drive us through any thing for a
bite to eat. With the mirage of a rare
beefsteak with horseradish ever before
us, we ran through the streets of the
little town in search of an eating place.
I saw a restaurant sign across the street
and the baritone spied a cafe. He being
of a high toned nature, suggested that
we give the cafe a trial. In we plunged
all covered with snow and the others of
our party followed. The landlord near
ly had heart failure when he saw five
customers piling in on him at once and
he rushed tremblingly to the kitchen to
tell the cook that a klondike had struck
his cafe. By that time our olfactory
nerves had sufficiently thawed to per
ceive that the cafe was filled with divers
and sundry odors that were Corbett
like in their strength, and with the re
mark that something had crawled in
there and died, 1 bolted for the door and
the others followed after.
So at last we got into the restaurant

and a good woman got us a dinner of
home made food that waa just what we
wanted. After the dinner was over the
quartet sat down and began staging.
Then it waa that I saw a sight that I
hall not forget for many a day. Aa
the organ-like tonea of the voices swell
ed out, the poor, hard worked woman
who had cooked our dinner came into
the room and dropped like one dead in
to a chair. She wore her work aproa
and her hair waa halt down. Her eyes
were hollow and lines of care marked
her face and brow.
She was a typical woman of the small
Nebraska town. Her life waa aa dead
a level aa the prairies that atretch
endlessly out from the little town, and
as dreary as the stormy day. On the
walls of the room were ghastly crayon
picture? of her dead children, the shrine
before which, she, like devout catholics
before the image of Our Blessed Lady,
performed her devotions. As the heart
break of the songs filled the little room
the woman was taken out of the dreary
world, away from the dull prairies, from
the flat graves and hateful present to the
land of dreams. The tears gathered in.
the sunken eyes and ahe smiled through
them a wan smile, like the sun smiling
through a mist of rain.
But the song ended.
