MUSlGA. MENTION,
John Randolph.

Our dear Sieveking has talent for
interviews. In last Sundays New York
Journal under the head. "A genius in
Nebraska One year in Bryan's town
was quite enough for this Pianist.
Sieveking inspires the following:
There is queer chapter in the history
of Martinus Sieveking, the young Dutch
pianist, that is generally unknown. As
this is his first American tour there is
general impression abroad tina. it is his
first appearance in America. But the
fact is that he spent the year Of 1894 90
in this country, and of all the remote
and out of-the- way places in this coun-
try, in Lincoln, Neb.. the town that
awoke one morning TO find itself famous
through William Jennings Bryan.
In 1893 Sieveking came over to the
Worlds Fair and established himself in
Chicago as a private piano teacher, be-
ing at the time plent'fully supplied with
funds from home. Now. Chicago is al
ways over-run with piano teachers, and
it is not an easy place for new man to
start, even if he brings recommendations
dir. city from the Cor servatoire of Paris.
Besides, Sieveking is eminently vir-
tuoso rather than an instructor. 1t was
not long, however, before the musicians
of Chicago discovered they had re-
markable man among them, and Clar-
ence Eddy and the young HOllander be-
came fast friends.
About that time Mr.. Willard Kimball
was about to open musical conserva-
tory a !: Lincoln in connection with the
State University of Nebraska. He was
in search of first class piano teacher,
and Eddy recommended Sieveking. Just
at that time Sieveking was low in funds
and generally "down on his luck Kim
ball offered him 5000 year, with var
ious perquisites, and the desperate
young man recklessly signed three
year contract without even stopping to
investigate as to the sort of place he
was going to.
The practical, bustl ng west proved a
prison of the dreariest description to the
artist. Only the women there have time
to study music. OF these he found that
few had any talent, and he frankly told
them so whenever he felt inclined to
do 50.
His nerves began to break down and
at the end of year he broke his con-
tract and left the town. But he was not
evea to leave quietly. The morning of
his departure his dog, Tad, got into
trouble with p 5liceman, and Sieveking
laid the policeman fiat on his back, and
when the two officers fell upon him, he
handled them in exactly the same way.
The result was that he rode to his train
in patrol wagon.
Last winter, soon alter his departure
from Lincoln, he made his debut in Bos-
ton. His first appearance there cast the
die. His career since then, his myster-
GUS disappearance last spring and his
return to America are know to every one.
And the amusing part Of it is that if he
had kept his contract he might still be
teaching little girls out on the plains to
play their scales, instead Of being the
idol of the most cultivated music-loving
public.

Conditions which Are Necessary 60
the Development OF Personality

Conditions which Arc Necessary 60
the Development OF Personality.
In the development Of the greatest
personality power largely comes from
certain conditions. says President
Charles Il. Thwing. These conditions
relate TO the attitude which the per-
sonality holds TO humanity. They re-
late TO the point of view which you will
occupy in looking at men and mems
affairs. This attitude, which is best
fitted to develop a great personality.
let me at once say, is the attitude or
truth, OF duty and OF love. nyou stand
at the point of truth, and IL your atti-
tude as you view humanity is one of
truthfulness, you will find that your
own being will become great in it's
truthfulness. Accustom yourself TO
choose truth nightly. The man OF
truth is the man of power. The false
man Is the weak man. The man OF truth
is the brave man. The false man is the
coward. The man OF truth Is the lead
err; the false man is the straggler and
deserter.
Truth magnifies the man searching
for, finding, holding, expressing II!
The false minimizes the man that treas
nres i'll II Is significant that God is
called Omniscience, and the devil the
father of lies. Moreover, no one knows
the limitations of our knowing truth
as he who knows truth the most clear
ly. Therefore, let me say, in the for
nation OF personality, take your station
by the side of duty. For its own sake,
for the sake of results, do what you
ought. Let the majesty OF II ought"
inspire without depressing. AS says
the great Amiel: keep close TO duty.
Never mind the future IL only you have
peace OF conscience. BE what you ought
to be; the rest is Gods affair. Suppos-
ing that there were no good and holy
God, nothing but universal being, the
law of the all, duty would still be the
key OF the enigma, the pole star of a
wandering humanity" Duty consid-
cred, duty willed, duty done, will make
one God-like. Yet there is another atti-
tude, as important as that of truth and
of duty, for the development of great
personality. 1t Is the attitude described
in the word "love." Ever and every
where be a loverl The occupying OF
such point of truth and duty and love
will make you personality, which shall
be like a cathedral, strong with the
strength of buttressed principles, beau
tiful with the memory of holy deeds,
and, seen from afar, as the symbol of
the presence Of God.

THE NEAREST DUTY.

often We Just Miss the Greater
Things by Too Much Seeking.
1t is the nearest duty that should
claim our attention first. There is al
ways something within the reach of
our hands that we ought to do imme-
diately. Then we discover something
else to be done, and thus we arc kept
busy day by day. The true worker is
never idle, for one duty comes after an
other In quick succession.
The fact is, we too often rush around
in feverish haste after work, and then
find that we are unable to do il, and that
10 Is fitted for other hands. We often
thrust aside the burden that we can
bear and seek TO carry the one that
we cannot even lift from the ground.
Why should we look so anxiously
away from ourselves 90 other fields of
labor, when we stand right in the midst
Of the ripened grain? Why are we seek
ing forever 10 reach Golcondas distant
mine, while there are golden gems upon
the earth at our very feet? In short,
why do we seek for good in the uncer-
tain, when within the reach OF our
hands is the golden reward for each
days workP
God knows just where 10 place each
worker. And lie will always prepare
hands for the task and the task for the
hands. So let us smile upon the lonely
one nearest 10 us and give the cup of
water into the hands that reach SO
eagerly for IL. Let us gather the sweet
n 4 In
stead of seeking for the rare exotic or
edelweiss OF the Alpine heights. Let
us whisper word OF hope in the ears
OF the oyerburlened friend that is our
neighbor. In short let us willingly
walk with the white-robed angel known
as "the nearest duty."-Christinn Work.

FIFTH War with Austria.

Ostensibly this war was TO be unlike
any other so far waged. The secret in
structions given to the imperial Aus
trian envoy in London clearly indicate
that the Hapsburgs hoped by victory
to restore their influence both in Italy
and Germany; for that was the mean
ing of restitution TO the rightful
owners" and the slight rectification of
their frontiers" or, in other words, the
restoration Of European conditions to
what they had been before Napoleon's
advent. This was the dynastic side;
the national side was also to be used for
its purposes. 1.-THE liberties of Europe
have taken refuge under your banner"
ran Charles proclamation to the army;
your victories will break their bonds,
and your German brethren still in the
enemy's ranks 'await their redemption"
To the German world he said: Austria
fights not only for her own autonomy,
but takes the sword fer the independ-
ence and national honor OF Germany"
Another manifesto, written by Cent?,
the ablest statesman in Vienna, declared
that the war was to be waged not
against France, but against the system
OF persistent extension which had pro-
duced such universal disorder In Eu-
rope.-Prof. Sloane, in Century.

mounted the steps quietly, walked
along the passage, and knocked at the
door of Won Brent's room.

ed him.
He opened the door, glancing at the
clock behind Won Brent's head as he
did so.
III stood three minutes to twelve.
Young Mr.. Longworth was sitting
there, with just touch of pallor on
his countenance, and there seemed an
ominous glitter in his eye-glass. He
said nothing, and John Kenyon COM
pletely ignored his presence.
There is still some life left in my
option, / believer" he said TO Won Brent.
after nodding good day TO him.
Very little, but perhaps IL will serve.
You have two and a half minutes" said
Won Brent.
Are the papers readyP" inquired
John.
"All ready. everything except putting
In the names"
VERY well, here is the money" Won
Brent looked at the certified check.
THAT is perfectly right" he said. "The
mine is yours" Then he rose and
stretched his hand across the table to
Kenyon, who grasped it cordially.
Young Mr.. Longworth also rose, and
said, languidly: "As this seems 10 be
a meeting of long lost brothers, shall
not intrude. Good day, Mr.. Won Brent"
And with that the young man adjust
ed his eyeglass and took his departure.
