THE GIRL FROM TEXAS.
She Went Against Gotham and
Learned Bitter Lesson.

A certain girl who was the pride
of the village in the Hot Tamale
territory, which her forefathers
fought for under Iam Houston, had
her voice fayorably commented on
/ by travelling salesman for shoes
from Chicago. She was constrained
to believe what he told her-that
she had great talent.
1t isn't always safe to take com
| pliment unsalted, from a man who
is trying to sell your fond father
a bill of shoes, but he was not the
| only one who told her she had a
future. People went to church on
Sundays not to hear the sermon so
much as because she was announced
to sing. The local paper used her
voice for filings whenever a dull
week failed to furnish any gossfp
on the square. Once the editor ran
series of the worlds greatest
singers and ended up by declaring
mat right here in their midst was
one whose voice would go ringing
down the ages. He spoke as if it
were dinner bell. Indeed, her
FAMILY had a dormant suspicion that
their ship was anchored in Louella's
throat. 1t would come in when she
went on the stage.
me night before she left for New
YORK a snuff drummer from Little
ROCK, Ark, heard her sing Some
Day at church sociable. He pre-
dlcted on the spot that she would
take a tuck in Tetrazzini's high G.
The Ladies Aid Sosiety sent a
petition asking her to be sure to
sign a paper before she made anv
grand opera contracts that she
would only sing those roles in
which she could wear robes.
At first admiring friends who had
read the New York papers told her
she might find it hard to get a hear
ing. mat managers were quaran-
tined against true talent. She
started forth cheerfully, announcing
that she would begin at the bot
tom, II necessary, and work her way
up.
To condense a three volume novel
into that many paragraph she
was disappointed in her reception in
the east. So few people seemed to
know she was in town. and these
forgot it again right straight. At
last she got a position. Because she
was from Texas. 1t was in a musical
comedy She was one of fifty-two
Indians maids. The star did all the
vocalizing. She only had to help in
a warhoop that filled up a gap be-
tween the verses.
When the snuff drummer asked
her the other day why she rubbed
little old New York off her slate
forever sch changed the converse
ton by asking if he happened to
remember what a gentleman named
julius Caesar once said about it be-
ing better to rule in a little Iberian
village than to play second fiddle in
some.
This simple story teaches that a
sensible girl always hits it back
home when she finds the choir needs
her, even if she is singing in the
chorus on Neutrality-suspicious. Nc

"To Care for the Souls of Men. y

Hamilton Wright Mable thinks
that every woman should have an in
come of $4,000 a year, so that she
could care for the souls of men,
cherish the ancient pieties of life and
keep manners alive" He does not be-
lieve that the industrial system that
has set women to work is going to
last, and he says he thinks it will
be sad day when women work from
morning until night away from home,
as men do, as the men need some one
to take care of their souls.
