Allentown, Pa-Muslc. heavenly
maid, has many handmaidens for her

acquire her precious gifts only by
SLOW and painful process, while others
seem TO be born with the gift divine,
as II music had whispered into their
ears at the very birth the secret of her
harmonies and her harmonics.
Such a one is Mary Gerhart, the
six-year.old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Edwin s. Gerhart of this city. Her
age naturally precludes the idea that
she has ever had any musical training
nor has she ever received n lesson
In her life. Neither OF her parents
possesses the slightest knowledge Of
music nor cares very much about It,.
The same is true of nearly all her rela-
tives. except an aunt. who In her
childhood days possessed remark
able gift of improvisation and reading
by ear, but whom the force OF circum'
stances prevented cultlvating and de-
yeloping her genius for music save to
the extent of seven lessons. Those
seven lessons, however, have been the
means of giving her an insight into
music. which has been one of the com
forts and solaces of her life.
Mary is one of three children, all
girls. and all noted for their exquisite
personal beauty. The eldest Esther,
aged 10, is the only one who is receiv'
ing musical instruction. No one paid
any particular attention to Mary, who
had never shown any desire for music
and who rarely touched the piano
Suddenly one day she sat down to the
piano and soon issued forth the more

that when any man upon some offense

aaf1dfn9a Fire In a~Locom0ffvo -
MOI an Easy job.
The average citizen manages to set
the house in an uproar every time he
has to make a fire in the heater, but
It's job is a trifie in comparison With
what a railroad fireman faces when a
new fire has to be built in a locomo-
tive. As a starter about o pounds of
wood are necessary to fire up the or
binary engine. The wood used Is old
railroad ties cut nj convenient blocks.
When he dre box has been lined with
wood it II drenched with oil, and the
match il applied
AS soon as the fire gains Roadway
forced draft Is applied. the operation
necessary being performed in the
roundhouse, where all apparatus for
quickly producing high temperature il
at hand. When a good bed of blazing
wood has been produced the fireman
gets busy with his shovel, placing coal
in ven layers over the flames. This
part of the work is hard on the back.
Inc the aggrieved individual whose
woes are evident to the whole block
when he labors with the heater would
go down and out in the first minute at
1t. Under the forced draft it Is only a
few minutes before the a has been
reduced to a sheet of smbers at white
heat. and by this time there is enough
pressure generated to permit of
the locomotive being moved under its
power.
Continuous resort to the shovel on
the part of the fireman does the rest.
1t Is only about once a month that a
new fire is built in a locomotive while
in service. The balance of the time the
fire is kept alight by being banked
when the iron horse is not on the road.
