HANDEL'S OBSTINACY.
An Incident of the Great Muaician's
Childhood DAYS. sl q

An Incident of the Great Musician's
Childhood Days. s,S
A child's obstinacy does not always
bring as fortunate results as was the
case with Handel. the great musician
boy doubtless led to that great success
which crowned the later years of his
life. When he was some seven years
of age his father had occasion to visit
a son by former wife, who was valet
to the Duke Of SAKE Weissenfels.
Travelling in those days--2O0 years. ago
was tedious and expensive, and Or.
Handel did not desire to be delayed
with the care Of an infant during q
journey which the demands of re-
sponsible profession would probably
make as short as possible.
But the future giant of music would
60. He cried, beloved and eventually
ran along the road after the vehicle,
until the tender feelings of the doctor
+could refuse no longer. In an evil mo-
ment for his Jurisprudence scheme he
took the child with him.
No sooner did the little fellow reach
Fthe ducal residence than he gave rein
to his fancy on the keys Of every In
5strunlent that he found open. The re-
markable music that came from the
finger tips of the child's hands was
soon the object of wonder and conver-
sation throughout the palace, and all
this was intensified when he secured
an opportunity of touching the keys Of
the chancel organ within the hearing
of the duke. -
Such a throb started from that chap
ell organ when little. Handel's tendriled
fingers chose the keys, and the soul OF
the duke was touched as it never had
been touched befofe-truly momen
tous occurrence. since but for it Han.
ders sacred music might never have
been written.
The dukes attention having been ar.
rested, he inquired of Dr. Handel con
cerning the child's future, and eventu
ally succeeded in placing him for three
i years study under ,Zachau. the organ
ist of Halle cathedral. This was the be
! ginning of Handel's musical education

PARENTS FIND
A LOST CHILD
Fates Play Strange Trick
With c.. NJ. Daniels
and Wife.
Girl Restored When
They Seek Another
for Her Place.

OAKLAND, June 5.--Fate seemed to
have played a sorry trick ON Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles NJ. Daniels of San Fran
cisco when their little fve-year-ofd
daughter Alice was separated from
them in the excitement following the
earthquake and FIRE across the bay. but
the same perverse force that operated
to take the child away has seemingly
served to restore the little one, and the
Daniels family is correspondingly
happy.
Their story of how Alice was lost to
them and later regaIned, under unidte
circumstances, reads like a page from
one of the old-fashioned Sunday school
library stories, but it must be true,
because Alice was gone. and is now re-
turned, and what more convincing proof
than mat can be adduced?
The Daniels lived at McAilister and
Polk streets in San Francisco before
the earthduake came. They scurried
out of the house on April is. and while
the crowd of nefshbors surged around
them Alice became separated from the
group and did not return The Daniels
Searched for her I'M vain. The girl had
disappeared. Efforts to find her were
futile
When the Daniels gave up hope Of
recovering Miss Alice they decided TO
adopt youngster to take her place. In
quest of such a maiden. they went to
the refugees camp at Adams Point to-
day, having been told that a number or
orphans were there who might be Sc
cured for adoption by heads Of families.
When the Daniels told the authorities
the sort of girl they desired a little
tot was brought out for inspection, and
then came the climax that almost over
w whelmed the attendants Mamma
Daniels made rush for the orphan"
who was to be adopted, cried Alice
and then wept lot while Papa Daniels
stood around, waiting for his turn to
en- brace the little one 10 was Alice all
right. and she was adopted for keeps en-
the spot. Her vow has been taken
never to ramble more, and SO all the
Daniels are joyful.

now and then pass sentence upon some
defendant who desired to plead guilty.
AS a result there Is a greater number
