Grateful Hen.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Chicken fanciers and agriculturists hereabout are puzzled over a remark able egg-laying hen living under the guardianship of Jacob Geier, in Mad-
 son avenue. The hen strayed from her roost and wandered into Geier's back yard several weeks ago. When Geier opened his kitchen door the hen Tapped her wings, flew on the porch, and in at tn open door past Geiers
 That chick must be durn hungry; I'll feed her up good and strong, bgum." said Geier to his wife.
 He made good his word by pre- , pairing a ration of milk and bread.
 which the hen devoured ravenously. Cackling her thanks she departed to the back yard. About an hour later the hen was discovered sitting com fortably on a settee on the porch. When the fire whistle footed the noon hour the hen exuded a joyous series of cackIes. When Geier arrived on the scene he beh cid fresh laid egg and the ben strutting proudly around the yard.
 Since then the hen has laid an egg every day, with three exceptions. Geier l says she has sense of gratitude. which she displays in payment for the meal rendered in the time of her trib- ulation.

drama say that Mrs. Beecher brings out its wonderful color and feeling. Brown ing lovers. say that her reading of Saul" brings out the deep philosophy that has enriched many readers, and in these two masterpieces Mrs. Beecher feels perhaps that she has reached the most Illuminating point in her pro-
 fessional career, although she says that she has accomplished so little in com parison to what she hoped to some day attain.
 In the December issue of Lyceumite and Talent a journal devoted to criti-
 cism of prominent lyceum people, ap- peared an appreciation of Mrs. Beech :
 CT by MT. Paul M. Pearson. Among
 other things MT. Pearson says
 Beside her striking personality, her high intellectually, and strong emo tional power, Mrs. Beecher's success is
 due in large measure to her ability and her inclination to work uneeasing- ly. Two influences have contributed powerfully to her development, her as sociation with pr. Robert l.. Cumnock, | and her marriage to Leonard T. Beech l CT. It was one summer at Chautauqua, | N. Y, that Isabel Gargill became a pupil of Dr. Cumnock, than whom there | is, perhaps no saner, better interpreter | of all forms of literature. Later she | became a student of his at NorthWe = | ern, and then a member of his faculty. sHis easy naturalness, his insistence on l high ideals, his ability as a reader, his | skill as teacher were a great in | spiration to the talented young woman l who became his earnest pupil.
 MT. Beecher is one of the few emil 1 netly successful business men who has
 not allowed his great business respon
 abilities to dwarf his artistic apprecia- tion or to dull his artistic tastes. MT l Beecher's natural tastes and his educa-

l tion have made him not only fond or literature, music, painting, and read ing, but a capable critic as well. It IS a fortunate circumstance for any aftlst when he can add to the instruction or teachers the criticism of a capable lay man. When such criticism Is combined with sympathy the results are especial ly good. No small amount of Mrs. Beech CTS inspiration and success are due to the discriminating, sympathetic criticism, and encouragement of her husband. Since her marriage there has been no necessity of doing platform work for living, and one less devoted to the art for it's own sake, and who did not have the sympathetic approval of her husband would not have con- tinued it as Mrs. .Beecher has done"
 Of her methods of work, MT. Pearson discusses her infinite capacity for taking pains:
 She selects the salient points in a story, and by a process of elimination clips off unnecessary matter until the thing stands out as a creation perfect in form and content. After reading through a book, she selects, first the climax, then goes back to the beginning and builds her structure toward this end, keeping it al- ways in view. In her arrangements she follows the rules of the drama, observing carefully the laws that govern it. No mat ter extraneous to the story Is admitted. Points or characters introduced in the beginning must be taken up and treated in the ensuing scenes, and above all the scenes must be scenes, and end when the curtain falls. These points in her study throw light on the overwhelming effect of etrrav III tue hands Of this gresl. reader, by whom no labor is counted when it is needed for the perfecting of her art.

selected, and yet one which she says is constantly undergoing changes and re- ceiving additions--a repertoire that brings up delicious memories of. Ellen Terry, Maud Adams, Julia Marlows-and who could ever forget Mrs. LeMoyne in Brownings 'In a Balcony"
 It is the new art-form known as Can tillation" to which Mrs. Beecher's yer satility is adapting itself. She considers this the very highest form of interpreta- tive work, balanced combination that of the spoken text illustrated by instru- mental music. Richard Strauss, in his setting for Tennysons "Enoch Arden" is considered to have opened new ci>l- nel, and prior to his efforts in this di- rection, were those of Robert Schumann and the late Eduard Grieg, the Nor wegian composer. These musical settings form the new note in interpretative read ing "Hiawatha," Jeanne D'Arc," and other masterpieces of literature, are pre- sented with much more value with the new arrangement.
 MT. David Bisnham, said Mrs Beech CT, has persistenly favored the can tillation form. Mrs. Beecher has pre- sented "Parsifal' and "Dax HeXenlied.'
 The Parsifal arrangement for voice, organ, harp trumpet and chimes was made by Tina Hanes of Plymouth church, Chicago, and the work Is dedi cated to Mrs. Beecher. She uses Oliver HuckePs translation. The mystic beau ty of the opera is intensified, and it's dramatic action and spiritual content of the text, said Mrs. Beecher, is told first by the music, then by the reader, then the music completing the climaxes.

Croxton as an artist of high order, and he will doubtless draw well. His style is faultless and 1 only wish that l could be here to hear him.. MT. Croxton is in charge of the vocal
 department at Chautauqua, N. I., and
 many Birmingham people have heard him there and speak most highly or him.
 Birmin gham's music lovers will
 doubtless highly enjoy this recital as
 the higher order of musical events are
 becoming more and more attended, and
 interest in the good musical things IS rapidly increasing, and Birmingham is getting to be look ed upon as city filled with people who appreciate good things musically.

arranged, altered to suit a constantly de- veloping taste that will not rest satisfied with the achievement of a year ago.
 Here is another poi1t that may be surprise: Mrs. Beecher always memorizes and studies carefully twice as much text as she expects to use in the final ar rangement As she takes the words upon her lips and realizes the effect it will have upon an audience, she rejects this, retains that and at last arrives at an arrange ment that satisfies her-until next year.
 She holds that this method of learning far more than one intends to use en- riches the lines that are expressed and gives perspective to the reading.
 Many stories are told of her power sn
 holding the attention ot her audience. One
 evening she read that masterpiece of the
 English short story. "The Man Without
 a Country" by Edward Everett Hale,
 and when she had finished, little lad
 in the audience who evidently knew his dates and history, turned to his mother
 and asked My, she must be awful old
 but she don't look old. Why, she knew Aaron Burr!'
 Another instance reveals her power. Mrs. BeecherA recently gave a reading of Par l sifal in the College of Saint Elizabeth at the convent, New Jersey. with Mrs. Ed 1 ward Godschmidt, who played the Wag- ner music with fervor and understands | ing. When the beautiful drama was end | ed and the interpreter of it had left the l stage, that large audience rose in a body and did silent homage to her as she 1 passed down the aisle. In almost abso- 1 lute silence they left the room, many | with tears in their eyes, all with rev
 erent look on their faces because they l had been touched in their souls by the l magic of this master soul Many of the l nuns passed at once into the chapel tc fall on their knees in prayer.
