CHOIR BOYS
Distinguished Men Who Have Worn
Cassock and Gotta.

Frederick Dean says, in st. Mich
olas:
From the days of King Solomon
when worship music was seemingly
raised to the very highest point OF
perfection and the large choral bodies
of adult male singers were augmented
from time to time with hundreds OF
women "and boys" the boy chorister
fitted in and out of view, until the
dawn of the Christian era, since when
he has held the most undisputed and
unbroken sway in the choirloft and
chancel. True, his services were dis
pensed with in the Sistine Chapel
at Rome during the fifteenth century
but, at about the same date boys were
singing in the Chapel Royal in Lon
don. and they continue there until this
day. The first recorded praise Of any
English singer was that paid to the
choristers In the time Of Henry VIII.
when his royal Viennese visitor was
so enchanted that he wrote home that
their voices were more heavenly than
human, and that they did not chant
like men. but gave praise like angels.
Haydn sobbed twhen he heard the
beautiful voices of the boys in st.
Paul's and one of the best perform
ances of The Messiah" given in Han
del's play was sung by a body of Choir
listers, boys and men fifty-five in
number"
The reason for the churchly bent
of most of the modern British com
posers is that they were brought up
as choir-boys From the time of the
Restoration, when Captain Henry
Cooke was appointed master of the
children" the list of English music
clans is virtually the list of the Chapel
Royal and St. Paul boys grown to
manhood.
Henry Purcell, the father of English
opera, and Thomas Tails, the father
of English cathedral music, both were
graduates from the Chapel Royal
choir. Richard Farrant. William
Byrde, Orlando Gibbons. Thomas Nor
ley and all the rest of the anthem and
song writer's of Mcrrie England down
to Joseph Barnby and Arthur Sullivan,
studied their musical ab-c's in cas-
seek and Gotta. Barnby and Snlli-
van, both knightcd for their distinc-
ton in music, the one for his work
for the chancel, the other for work for
the stage, were noted for their voices
as youngsters. Barnby charmed the
listeners at York Minister by his solos
and Arthur Sullivan so captivated
Thomas Helmore, the Chapel Royal
choir-master, with his singing Of
With Verdure Clad" that he was ad-
mitted to the choir when he was
eleven years of age.

crack his little joke by answering.

then he'd laugh like a pleased boy.

Both Come in Bottles.

The father was testing his little
boys knowledge Of the story of NOAH
which he had carefully rehearsed
The boy had been thinking hard, says
the New York Times, and his answer
to the first question showed that he
had at least the virtue of originality.
Now" said papa, "can you tell lie
how Noah knew that the waters haL
gone down."
The boy hesitated a minute. as ii
seeking for the proper words to eX
press himself; then he said:
"Noah knew the waters had gone
down because the dove came back
bringing him a pickle"
Olives and pickles were synonymous
terms in the small boys mind tol
things which come in bottles, and
which he did not like.
