Little Willie seemed to realizs

say, mamma do you want me to
dieS She says, no, darling, mama
don't want you to die; and then
she would call her papa and sister

cation possible. Such a combine.
ton of instruction, inspiration and
rest will commend itself imne-
dia,ely to many. They would en-.
Joy and their physical condition
demands recreation. They crave
also special preparation for the
great work in which they are en-

ing June ~, a period Of FIVE days.
1t will use the buildings of South

tor in n. Il. Exegesis. Mr.. Briney
is distinguished preacher. deba-
ter and lecturer, and writer and
editor of much power and infiuen-

1.-THE FATHER OF THE BANJO"
Frank b. Converse Made 1t Popular and
Also Saw Its Decline.

The man who made tho banjo popular
and Who also lived to see II decline in favor
died tho other day IN this city. He was
Frank B. Converse, and he was known
a. .the father Of tho banjo
Mr.. Converse was born at Westfeld, Mass
In 1887. He came Of . musical family. His
brother, Charles Converse, has written
many hymn tunes and anthems.
The family moved to Elmira whom Mr..
Converse was a boy, and there he was
educated. At 10 he left his home to become
a musician. He drifted into q minstrel
company. travelled over the country and
appeared later in London with Pony Moore
and the Christy company
It was as q performer on the banjo that
Mr.. Converse was known principally. and
he composed for the instrument and wrote
for II He continued to teach the instru-
ment after he retired from the stage quar-
ter OF century ago, and most OF the noted
old -time players we're his pupils.
The banjo was very simple contrivauce
when he began to use II In his minstrel turns,
and he did much to develop it into what it
Ia to-day
Mr.. Convsrse's widow Is Harriet Maxwell
Converse, the author, lecturer and authority
on Indian lore.
The decline Of the banjo followed soon
after tho public interest In minstrel per-
forrnances began to decrease. It ts rarely
heard on the stage now even In vaudeville
performances and even the college clubs
have lost their old enthusiasm for t. Now
Il Ia not even used to tie ribbons on.

RUN BY MOUSE POWER.
A Thrifty scotchman's Scheme for Opera
ting His Thread Mills.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.

From the Edinburgh Seotsrnan.
Thrift Is generally acknowledged to be
ono ofthe leading characteristics OF thenattve
Of Fifeshire, and It never was more forcibly
exempliAed than in the person OF David
Hutton. native Of Dunfermline. who actually
proved that even mice, those acknowledged
pests Of mankind, could be made not only
to earn their own living. but also to yield
respectable income to their owners.
About tho year 1920 this gentleman actually
erected q small mill at Dunfermilns for
the manufacture Of threads mill worked
entirely by rnioe. II was while visiting Perth
prison In 1912 that Mr.. Hutton first conceived
this remarkable idea Of utilizing mouse
power. In an old pamphlet Of the time. Tho
Curiosity Coffee Room, he gave an account
Of the way in which the idea dawned on him.
In the summer OF the year 1872" he wrote.
y had occasion TO be Ia Perth, and when In
spectins the toys and trinkets that were
manufactured by the French prisoners In

| Of sewing thread seemed the most practi-
| cable
Nj, Hutton had one, mouse that ran the
amazing distance OF eighteen miles a day,
| but he proved that an ordinary mouse could
| run ter and one-half miles OIL an average.
A halfpenny's worth Of oatmeal was sufficient
| for lts support for thirty days. during
! which IL ran 736 half miles He had actually
| two mice constantly employed in the making
Of sewing thread for more than a year. The
mouse thread mill was so constructed that
| the common house mouse was enabled to
| make atonement to society for past ohenses
| BY twisting, twininR and Keeling from 100
| to i20 threads a day. Sundays not excepted.
| TO perform this task. the little pedestrian
| hnd TO run ten and one-haf mics. and this
| Journey II performed with ease every day.
| halfpennys worth Of oatmeal served

| rate. earned nnepence every six weeks.
Just one farthing day. or seven shillings and

| Taking sfxpencs Of for board. and allowing

yearly profit from each mouse OF six shinings.
