The value of teaching Instrumental
music In all schools can scarcely be

“The public schools are preparing

provide free band concerts for their
citizens.

similar legislation are now under way
in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky

Iowa was the pioneer state In band
legislation, and the laws of many of
the states now having such statutes
on the books nre modeled after the
Iowa plan. That law provides that
the band tax may be levied only after
It has received the sanction of the
voters. The question Is submitted for

FTER a continuous fall of snow
for over forty hours, the small
town of Bethel was covered with
a pure white mantle on the day be­
fore Christmas.
Over the bills the tinkling sound of
sleigh bells was music upon the frosty
air of the early winter morning as
Judge John Wainwrlght looked out of
the chamber window of Ills farm­
house. As he peered put of the little
panes of glass with their tiny drap­
eries of snow he saw Jasper Jones
with his two-hitch plow breaking n
way through the narrow Main street
of the town, while an occasional salute
of “Good mornln', Jasper!” came from
neighbors as they shoveled paths from
their gateposts.
"Reckon we’ll have a real Christ­
mas—snow nearly two feet deep—
came down pretty heavy!” remarked
Jasper.
The words "a real Christmas,” with
the sound of sleigh bells, rung all day

cushion to glance down at the hall
with the tall clock ticking merrily and
the log fire snapping happily. Its rosy
glow painting the white walls and
their decorations of greenery—such a
picture! And the Christmas Joy of
the olden days came to him. He had
romped on these same stairs with a
happy heart, with his sister Lucy at
his heels. Yes, Lucy—there was the

Eve. Lucy had married against the

terms with her. Lucy, n widow, feeble,
but graceful in her age of seventy-five
years, lived In the little cottage on
the Wainwrlght estate, cut off with a
very slight Income by the will of her
father, John Wainwrlght.
Judge Wainwrlght went up to his
study and looked out of the dormer
window upon the night. The sky was
clear and a large star shone brightly
above the distant hill of pine trees
and all the other stars seemed to
twinkle happily about It. The loveli­
ness of the landscape charmed him,
and, relaxing from any other thoughts,
he turned the light very low and lay
upon a couch near the window.
When a loud knock upon the door
startled him he realized lie had fallen
asleep and the excited voice of Sarah,
the colored maid, culled to him that
"Missus Marion done took very sick.'
It was the midnight hour when
Judge Wainwrlght again stood by his
study window and glanced out again
into the night. The big star was high
and luminous and 1> ng beams seemed
to stream from It as It bung aloft, over
the little town of Bethel. A new Joy
had come Into tbe Judge's heart, for
a new-born babe had come Into the
home. And as he turned from the win­
dow he glanced at a pictured motto on
the wall, placed there by his own
mother. It read: “Blessed Are the
Peacemakers, for They Shall Be Called
the Children of God.” Speedily the
bitterness toward poor Lucy which
had been In his heart for so many
year» hud departed and the tears
came to his eyes. He determined then
to make the grandest peace upon the
Christmas day. He would call npon
Lucy himself, ask for her forgiveness
and announce the glad tidings of a son
—a most glorious gift bestowed by
God In the old Walnwright homestead.
It was a day of real Christmas rejoic­
ing, npon which the spirit of the man
who said "Peace upon earth" rested
and the little town of Bethel had its
share In the advent of a new citizen—
