MUSIC CONTEST
Handel (1685-1759)
George Frederick Handel
was born in Halle, Saxony, the
same year as Bach, and yet
these two great composers nev-
er met. This is easily ex-
plained by the fact that Handel
spent most of his life in Eng-
land, becoming an English citi-
zen, and upon his death he was
buried in Poet's Corner, West-
minister Abbey. When he was
a small boy he played upon a
dumb spinet, a curious little
ancestor of the modern piano
forte^ His father had planned
for Frederick to become a law-
yer, but when the Prince, his
employer, heard him play the
organ one day, he was so pleas-
ed that he offered to pay for
the boy's musical education.
Handel went to Italy, where he
learned to write operas in the
Italian style. Then he return-
ed to Germany to become court
composer for Prince George of
Hanover. The composer ob-
tained permission to leave his
court position Cor a trip to Eng-
land, where he became a great
favorite. He liked England so
well that he failed to return
to his prince. But circum-
stance made his former patron
King George I of England, and

O. jVT:
METHOE, AT CHURCH
There seems to be a variance
of opinion as to whether Mr.
Groundhog saw his shadow or
not, on the 2nd day of this
month, but we don't care if he
did, the six weeks of bad
weather doesn't bother the
people who come to the Metho-
dist Church. There is just one
question about this church-go-
ing anyhow, and that is, do we
want to go? If we do we go,
if not we don't. Our motto is,
"We never miss a service."
That is the motto the preacher
selected, and the people are liv-
ing up to it. We may have some
extremely bad weather this
month and next, but some of
King's pardon by composing his
famous "Water Music." Han-
del's greatest works are called
oratorios, and sung by chorus
and soloists with orchestra ac-
companiment, but without cos-
tume and scenery. The words
are founded upon Scriptural
text. The greatest of orator-
ios is "The Messiah,

has been sung thousands or
times all over the world at
Christmas time. It contains
many beautiful numbers, in
eluding the Hallelujah Chorus,
during which the audience al
ways arises. The great Saxon
also set Milton's poems "L'Al-
legro" and "II Pens eroso," to
music. One of his famous pia-
no pieces is called _ the "Har-
monious Blacksmith.' while I he

ant Railroad, is being contemp-
lated by the Frisco lines, which
recently purchased the I. G. N.,
according to a letter written by
J. M. Kurn, president of the
Frisco linos, to citizens of Min-
eola.
The definite route which the
proposed line will follow has
not been outlined, but railroad
officials of other lines in Dal-
las said Wednesday that the
most direct route would be to
use a part of the Mount Pleas-
ant line,'Which offers a good
connection near Mineola.
If the, proposed plan is car-
ried out it will give the Frisco
a throuA line running from
the I. G.VN. main line to the
Mount ^eas&ntf line, thence to
Paris, and over the FVisco lines
through Eastern Oklahoma to
FVrrt Smith and St. Louisw. The
route wrtuld also give the Fris-
co better Gulf connections, it
was stated.

Largo ("Xerxes")
The familiar and ever popu-
lar Largo is usually given to-
day as an instrumental compo-
sition. It is, in fact, however,
the air sung by tenor in Ilan-
dels opera "Xerxes," and its
right place in the opera occurs
at the beginning or the first
act. The scene shows a sum-
mer house near a beautiful
garden, where grows a plane-
tree. To the garden comes
Xerxes and sings: "There nev-
er was a lovlier tree than thou,
there never was a sweeter
shade of a dear and lovely
plant."
MASSENET (1842-1912)
Jules Massenet, whose death
occurred in 1912, was one oi
the best known of modern
French compSosers. He was
born in Moneaux, near St.
Eteinne, 1842, and numbered
among his teachers Ambroise
Thomas, composer of Mignon.
At the age of twenty-one he
carried off the Grand Prix d<
Rome with his cantata "David
Rizzio." He composed prolifi-
cally for the lyric stage, the or-
chestra, the voice and the pia-
na. His latest work, "The-
rese," was recently produced a'
Monte Carlo. One of his pop
ular operas is "Manon."
Elegie
Jule Massenet wrote the in
strumental music for Lecort<
de Lisle's antique drama, "Le'
Erinnyes" in 1873. The dram;
was not. a success, but much o
Massenet's " !" so popu'a" th; '
he was urged to arrange it ?r
