The Mothers Lifelong Desire ReaHzedtn
the ChiId's Success.
The mother of Dora Valesca Becker
had, as child, the greatest craving to
study the violin, but her wish was
never realized, because her father, a
wealthy hungarian merchant, was OPP
posed to the idea of having girl edu-
Gated IN music. Mrs. Becker was
therefore determined, should she be
blessed with a daughter, to have her
learn the violin. 1t so came about
thas the little Dora began her studies
when only six years of age: She was
born 5n Galveston, Tex, her father
being conductor of the Galveston sing
ing society. AZ the age of seven she
made her debut at the Galveston opera
house. At a second concert, given.
when she was only nine years, old, she
WON the hearts of the people in such a
manner that shey sent her presents, OF
iewelry and a beautiful violin.
Some years ago, when Camilla Urso.
was in the flush CT her professional
career. little girl, after hearing her
play, thought, lone. woman, has mas.
tered the violin, why should not an,
other?" This girl was Maud Powell,
an American artist whose name is ia,
nous in both henlispheres. Twice a
week. wlaile yet in her. teens, she
travelled alone 3orty miles to Chicago
and back to tal4e her lessons, and at
thirteen had made such progress that
her parents decided to. send her abroad
for gear OF study. When she ap-
pearea for examination before the
sfaid old professors in the conserva'
tory at Leipzig, her talent was SO pro-
nouaced thAtiall took an unvSOnted In
tereet in her. When the year was
over, Miss Powell decided to go I'd

tracks were covered with little layer
of snow, and the car wheels slid over
them like the runners of a sleigh.
The whole weight of the car struck
the corner ofskhe coal cart and flung it
from the tracks. The wagon fairly
.surged up in the air and came down on
its side, with the man underneath it
and the horse still in the shafts.
Neither man nor horse stirred after
they fell.
The conductor and driver were both
unhurt. This is a bad business, Phil,
an we'd better git out!' the driver
said.
The conductor nodded and pulled the
bell twice and the car swept away.
The only passengers were three ladies,
who probably did not know what had
happened.
Tom was not a hundred feet away
y hen the thing happened. His horror
al the sight itself was not greater than
his establishment and anger when the
car moved on. For the first time in his
life he would have liked to have some

FAT AND LEAN.



Result of Test Made to Decide Novel
They made q bet. The fat man
thought he had all the worst of life,
while the thin man held that flesh was
blessing.
''Just in the ordinary affairs of every.
day life" began the fat man.
That's what I'm referring to-" put
in the thin man. go home with rue
this afternoon and I'll demonstrate it
for supper and theater tickets"
So they started together from one of
the big office buildings, and as they
were leaving the Office man in big
hurry entered.
The thin man was able to dodge
him, but he fculed the fat man, of
course.
There you are" said the fat man
as soon as he had recovered his breath.
Every blind fool runs into me-"
That's nothing" returned the thin
man, as he stepped on the elevator and
was promptly crowded into corner
by Northumberland fty-pound
woman.

the street

he wiped the perspiration from his
face. You're comparatively cool.

But you'll have IL chance to be COM

NO more than YOU.
'Wait and see"
They each took one of the seats de-
signed to hold just two people of less
than medium size, and for a block
were on equal terms.
Then a big man got on. There were
four or five other people whom he
could sit beside, but he singled out this
thin man and soon had Kim wedged in
SO tightly that he could hardly breathe
few blocks farther on the seat ahead
was vacated and the thin man moved
to it. Two minutes later a woman
with pulled sleeves got on, and again
he was singled out.
She gave him such an indignant
look because he could not make all the
room necessary for the sleeves that he
got up and moved to the side of a man
of medium size.
The man got of at the next corner
and fat woman took his place. Again
the thin man was crowded against the
side of the seat and his face showed
the agony he was in.
But that was an exceptional case,
protested the fat man, when the two
had left the car"
ION the contrary, it's a regular
thing, returned the thin man. You

GOOD MARKSMEN.
Reasons Why the Beers Could Not Ee
Conquered by England.

Conquered by England.
The Beers are a fine, smart, active,
wiry, well-trained, disciplined body of
men, always ready for an emergency,
plucl1y to degree, accurate judges of
distance and thoroughly reliable
shots. A Boer is generally mounted,
but under no circumstances is he to be
found without his rifle, pistol, hunt
ing knife and telescope or binoculars.
He is forever Judging distance an
making test shots at special objects in
every imaginable direction and under
all conditions and variations Of the
weather, so as to render himself prac-
tically perfect. Once he takes a shot
at any object he is never satisfied un-
til he has hit it.
He will take good care to accustom
himself to judge distance on and fire
at object directly in the sun, as also
when the sun is shining from either
flank, or from the rear, so that he NAV
become sure under all circumstances;
and it was to this thorough and sys-
tematic training that the Beers. as a
body, owe their success against the
British.
Their sl1irmishing system was as per-
feet as it could well be, they were well
under control and their distances in
extended order was well kept.
Each file of the Beers had file of the
enemy told off to them to watch and
kill, and splendid. indeed, was their
practice to the bewilderment of their
opponents, who were shot down like SO
many reed rats.
The Boer system was as follows:
Front and rear rank men acted as COM
rades, -encoura ging and advising each
other, and besides being we'll armed
and equipped, had the additional aid
of good and powerful binoculars; they
also wore wells the color of the ground
to conceal their faces, and, while one
man shot his comrade watched the re-
suit of the trial through his binoculars,
turn and turn about. The British fir
ing was wretched, partly because the
home authorities carelessly sent out
young soldiers, most of whom had not
completed their recruit drill, and who
had not gone through course of mus
kerry. -Philadelphia Times.

OF course, in the high thinking that
must govern correspondence bringing
about such results, formulas of ex-

quite swept into the background And
yet l fancy the initial letters in most
cases must be immaculate-pr 1m, trig,

His legs were strained past bearing;
his hands perfectly numb He felt
that he was all but done for.
''Pull out the MANI he muttered,
and then shut his lips tight as the
wheel almost slipped from his grasp.
The girl looked down and without
moments hesitation crawled under the
wheel to pull him out.

That was enough for Tom. He bent

little, and then Ready! Heave!"
burst out on the night air that made
the street ring.
Back flew his head again, his great
knees Strengthened themselves, and
once more wheel, frame and wagon
shot up in the air. A moment later
the girl had pulled the coal man out
of danger.
Tom thanked the girl as best he
could, and then, utterly at the end of
his strength, sank right down where
he was in the mud and dirt. 1t seemed
as if he could never move again.
''Sure twas an iligant pull entirely!"
said the Irish girl, admiringly. What
shall be dom now?"
tRun for the DOCTOR" Tom said, rous-
ing himself; or no! don't think it will
be necessary"
A car was coming, this one out from
town. It was crowded. With great
effort Tom stood on his feet and ran
to the track. stop, stop!'' he cried.
''Some ones hurt!"
The motor man stopped. Tom
climbed on boa I'd, and slammed open
the front door. rs there a doctor
here?" he inquired. A middle-aged
man rose from his seat and came
toward the front of the car. Tom led
the way to the coal cart THE team
fell on him and hurt his Leg" he said.
The doctor stopped down and began
to make his examina ton. A crowd
from the car gathered about the spot.
The girls father was one of the num-
Der, and he eagerly questioned his
daughter about what had happened.
She told him what she knew, and all
who heard her turned eagerly to get a
sight of the young fellow who had
borne so much to save the injured
mans life.
But Tom was no longer to be seen.
He liked to do his duty, but he hated
to talk about it. He was on his way
home, and hard enough it was for him
to get there.

Gordon read from the newspaper a

Six months before Frank Armour
would have said that his brother looked
young.
"Oh, you look young enough, Frank, "
was the reply, "but / am good deal
older than was five years ago. Come,
let us go to bed. -
Many weeks afterward an anxious
family stood about the cot of a sick
child.
The family doctor had just left the
room. Marion, turning to the father
and mother, said: "Greyhope will be like
itself again now. will go and tell
Richard that the danger is over.''
AS she turned to do so Richard opened
the door and came in. 'Ahave seen the
doctor" he began in his cheerful tones,
''and the little chap is going to pull along
now like house afire. y" Tapping his
brother affectionately on the shoulder,
he was about to continue, but he saw
what stopped him. He saw the begin
ming of the end of Frank Armour's trag-
ic comedy. He and Marion left the
room as quickly as was possible to him,
for, as he said humorously, she was
slow at quick march,, and moment
after the wife heard, without demur,
ler husbands tale of love for her.
Yet, as if to remind him of the wrong
he had done, heaven never granted
Frank Armour another child
