WONDERFUL CHILD.
Six-Year-OId Girl Who Plays the
Piano and the Organ and Com
poses Sweet Music.

Six-year-old Eula Vaughan, of Bow
man, Ga, plays the piano or organ like
a professional, composes music and
sings very sweetly. Her first gift be
came manifest when she was two and
half years old. At that time she played
on the organ, to the amazement of her
father, who held her at the instrument
as joke.
Little Eula plays entirely by ear, and
has never taken a lesson in her life.
No matter what the music may be, it
Is never so difficult that after hearing
1t once she cannot repeat it. The most
difficult runs and remote modulations
are reproduced with a faithfulness
which many distinguished profession
ais might cultivate to advantage. 1t
must not be thought that her efforts
are the result Of musical mimicry, for
she plays with an expression that is al
together her own, and her touch has a
strength and tirmness that impresses
one with the remarkable fact that so
young a child should be possessed of
such individuality.
The story of her brief life and I'M
usual abilities is OF exceeding inter

est. When first her parents learned
she could play, they began to listen to
her and encourage her. In the begin
ming she would play certain chords of
her own composition, and then har-
mouiZe these chords, until, executed
together, the effect was charming mel
ody. Mr.. Vaughan has brother who
is professional musician, and one day
he happened to be present when Eula
played a selection of her own compo-
sition. He wrote down the music as
she played, and the result is one of the
sweetest of Gospel hymns, called
Jesus Loves the Children" This was
really the beginning of her reputation
as composer. and since then she has
given to the home world bits of music
that SAVIOR Enthusiastically of genius.
In orchestration the child seems to
be particularly at her ease, as was
evinced by the fact that at the last
commencement of John Gibson insti-
tute, at Bowman, she played the piano
accompaniment to the orchestra with
out a single error. although she had
never heard of the music until the or
chestra leader played it over for her
a few moments before the time came
for her to render 1t.
Eula's touch is remarkably sweet.
and her execution very clear. She is
pretty and rather spirituelle in ap-
pearance. Her whole being seems to
be in the most perfect accord with the
music, and when she is either playing
or singing the little face is fairly trans
figured.-Cincinnati Commercial! Trib.

HORSE DIED OF GRIEF.
The Faithful Animal Could Not stand
the PanSs of Separation from
His Companions.

speaking of the emotional life of
horse" said an old trainer, who had
been listening to a story about an ami
mails death that was directly traced
to grief, Il recall one remarkable in
stance of sorrow shown by horse be-
longing to circus with which l was
travelling three years ago. We were
performing in the little town of Union
vile, Pa. when one of the trick horses
fell and sprained one of his legs so
badly that he could not travel. He was
taken to livery stable and put in a
box stall, the leg was bandaged and he
was made as comfortable as possible.
''He ate his food and was apparent
ly contented until about midnight,
when the circus began moving out Of
town. Then he became restless and
tramped and whinnied. AS the cara
vans moved past the stable he seemed
to realize that he was being deserted,
and his anxiety and distress became
pitiful. He would stand with his ears
pricked in an attitude of intense lis
tening, and then as his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he
would rush as best he could with his
injured leg from one side of the stall
TO the other, pushing at the door with
his nose and making every effort to es-
cape. The stable man, who was
stranger to him, tried to soothe him,
but to no purpose. He would not be
comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus
had ceased his agitation continued.
The sweat poured from him, and he
quivered in every part of the body.
Finally the stable man went to his en-
ployer's house, woke him up and told
him he believed the horse would die if
some of the circus horses were not
brought back to keep him company.
At about daylight the proprietor Of
the stable mounted a horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook us ten
or twelve miles away, and, as l had
charge of all the horses and was much
attached to the injured animal, re-
turned with him. When we reached
the stall the horse was dead.
The stable man said that he re-
manned for nearly an hour perfectly
still and with every sense apparently
strained to the utmost tension, and
then, without making a sign, fell and
died with scarcely a struggle. The
veterinarian who was called remarked,
after the circumstances were told him,
that unquestionably the horse died
from grief. "-Washington Star.

RuInous to All.

The liquor business is ruinous to all
who engage in it-those who make and
sell as we'll as those who drink it. 1t
deadens all refined sensibilities, and
DESTROYS manhood. One of the most
convincing proofs of the depravity of
human nature is the liquor business.
If men were not depravcd it would
cease at once.-Pittsburgh Christian

Dog Obeys Telephone Orders.

The following dog story comes from
Toronto: One morning woman went
to see friend who lived two miles dis
tant, taking with her brown spaniel.
When she left she forgot the dog, and
as soon as he was discovered the peo-
pie did all they could to make him
leave, but with no avail. Some hours
passed and he was still there, so they
telephoned to the dogs mistress to let
her know of his whereabouts. Bring
him to the telephone" said the lady.
One of the boys held him while another
put the phone to the dogs ear. Then
the lady whistled and called: Come
home at once, Paddy" Immediately
he wriggled out of the boys arms,
rushed at the door, barked to get out
and then dashed away in the direction
of his home.
