Blind Boone. JuO. .Lange, His Manegar
and Maggie Boone.
Tuseola, Illinois, Review, Friday, May
8, lsS5-That Western musical prodigy,
Blind Boone, met his engagements at
the Opera House on Friday and Satur-
day evenings last. He was greeted by o
larger audience the second evening than
he was the first, which shows that he
produced a favorable impression.
The first part of his program on each
evening was too classical to be appreoiat.
ed by the general public, but not so with
his more familiar airs and limitations on
the piano of other musical Instruments.
On the first evening his manager,
john LaDge. Jr., of Columbia, Mo-, gave
a polite and pressing invitation for some
one, either old or yonng, of either sex,
to come forward and play 6 piece for
Boone to initiate, but owing to the
modesty and diffidence of those who
could play, no n responded.
However, on the second evening, by
promise, Miss Ethel Miller, daughter of
VIM. 7. Miller, accompanied by her
music teacher, Mrs. Jones, responded,
and played a difficult piece, which
Boone initiated.
At the conclusion of this piece Mrs.
Jones struck the different notes of
music on the keys OF the piano and
Boone repeated them verbally with
lightning like rapidly. She then kind.
ly consented to play q piece, which he
initiated and followed more closely, il
possible, than he did Miss Miller's.
Boon's limitations Of the tornado at
Marshfield, Mo-, some year ago, com.
posed by himself, was a grand imitation
of q storm in all of its various phases,
even from the rising to the dying away
of the same in the distance. His imita.
ton of q train was also very fine.
He closed on Saturday evening by
giving, by request OF several old soldiers
"Marching through Georgia. with vari-
ations, in which his imitation of the fife
and drum was marked and distinct.
Boone is now only % yeara OF age
He was born in a Federal camp at Mia
mi, Saline county, Missouri, towards the
close of the war. AT the age OF 6 months
he had a violent attack Of typhoid fevel
end was stricken blind. In early child,
hood he got possession OF q French
harp, and showed such an aptitude
for music as to attract the attention o
Mr.. Lange, who was at that time q heav,
contractor for the building of q grave
road in Boone county.
BooR's mother willingly gave the care
OF her dependent and to her, unprofita
BILE charge, to Mr.. Lange, who employed
TIE professor OF music in Christian col
lege, located at Columbia, to give him
course of Lessons It was not long be
fore Boone could Is far excel his tuto
as a performer, as the latter excelle,
him in the knowledge of music OF th
commencement of his tutcrage.

A BOY GROWN UP.
How and When Good and Bad Manner
Are Formed. ~

How and When Good and Bad Manner
Are Formed.
Young people rarely realize, when
criticising their elders, that the traits
or habits that seem to them obnoxious
were formed in early life. If their
manners are rude, if they lack tact. if
they are not well informed, it is be-
cause they have not made use of their
opportunities. Manners are the truest
indications of character. A discourte-
Gus person is both careless and selfish,
for the best manners are but the ex-
preston of the Golden Rule; they are
the card of introduction to strangers.
A friend can introduce you to good So
ciety, but he can not keep you there;
that depends on yourself. -
A boy of kindly nature is rarely rude.
A boy of selfish nature is polite only
when bis own desires are not interfered
with.
Every man is the result of his own
boyhood and youth. If he has read
good books, kept himself informed on
passing events, he becomes what the
world terms well-infOrmed, intelli-
gent man. If he has wasted his time
in trifing conversation, read only SEN
sational books and papers, neglected
to develop the talent which he surely
possesses, he becomes superficial,
tiresome, if not a wicked, man.
If as a boy he has not cultivated the
graces and amenities of life, he can
not expect to become that most de-
lightful of men, polished gentleman.
If as boy he has not studied to avoid
collisions with those about him, has
not recognized the rights of others.
has not cultivated desire to lead men
to higher motives, to give to Others the
benefit OF his own opportunities, he
becomes that most unfortunate person,
a tactless man; nuisance wherever
people are brought together. One of
the lessons every boy can learn is to
watch those men who arouse adverse
criticism and carefully avoid their hab-
its both of mind and body. Remem-
Der the old adage: by others faults
correct your own. Christian Union.

elephants usefulness and sagacitr.
and now that no one lis allowed to
shoot the wild ones IN India it is ex-
pected that in few years they will be-.
come SO numerous rs to be used for all
purposes that cart-horses are now re-
quired for, at least in tropical coun-
tries. Some farmers have them draw
their native plows. But as they stand
cold almost as we'll as heat, we may
vet see them become common In En-
gland and Australia
Thirty years ago elephants had to
be broughtnp in ships from Burmah
to Calcutta. They were not allowed
much fresh water. which was kept in
iron tanks arranged down the middle
of the vessel in front of them. These
tanks were closed with round lids that
screwed in, and as they had to be
opened night and morning to give the
animals drink the cunning creatures
soon found ont the way of unscrewing
them and helping themselves in the
night when all was quiet Men had at
last to be put on as sentries over the
tanks, or the whole supply would have
been drunk up in a couple of days.
Another thing they did was when they
received their allowance of sugar-cane
in the morning they would Immediately
lie down upon it and then try to steal
from their neighbors. If any delay
took place in serving out their food
they would trumpet and bang their
trunks against the water-tanks. Great
ing such disturbance that it made the
people on passing ships wonder what
the vessel had on board. -Chdtterb0z.
