PRAISE FOR PRODIGY.
Little Irma Schenuit Makes Decided I'M
preston in the East.

A very little girl with round pink
cheeks and bobbing golden curls. whose
white socks displayed a pair of plump
legs that might have done credit to a
Dutch dollie, solemnly climbed on n
high piano stool at the Waldorf Astoria
before the Society of New York State
Women last Thursday afternoon and
produced a miracle. From under her
baby fingers the phrases of Chopin and
Grieg flowed with the sureness and in
terpretatiye quality of finished pianist.
Irma Beatrice Schenuit has just turned
Z, but she has been playing since she
was 3l2, OF musical parentage her gift
was inherent Her father, who is the
organist of st. Johns cathedral, Milwau-
kee, would not permit the child to touch
the piano till she was thoroughly ac-
quainted with the notes. She read music
when print was unknown quantity to
her. While looked upon as prodigy,
her appearances in public have been
few and her development as a healthy,
happy child has been foremost in her
training.
A small weather-beaten doll was close
ly clasped in lrma'S arm when she ar
rived and she concealed it in corner
of her chair while she played. The little
girl is apparently without consciousness
and includes in her repertoire Brahms.

How carelessly the business Of cities
is conducted! An instructive instance is
offered by Wichita, Kansas When,
more than a quarter of century ago,
the Kansas, Colorado and Pacific Rail
road, now q part Of the Missouri Pacific.
was built into Wichita, the city issued
bonds to aid in its construction, and re-
ceived in return $4,000 Of stock In the
road. Lately-a result Of the steadily in
creased earnings Of Missouri Pacihc-the
city has received an offer of 5000 for
this stock. and would gladly accept the
amount; but the shares cannot be found

OFTEN the members Of an incoming adj
ministration represent the political party

Even where there is no petty hostility,
there is a laxity Of business methods. due

in politics rather than by reason Of their

Where are those Wichita railroad
shares? They may have been stolen and

fetal or employe, or they may have been
filed away IN a forgotten pigeonhole
which may retain its secret for another
twenty-five years. Unless they can be
found they cannot be- sold The worst
Of it is that there are scores of other
cities whose business affairs are con-

Meanwhile there is nearly everywhere

for the cities.

Undoubtedly, there is sphere that

A Talking Turtle.

4 small neg-o boy was going along the
street carrying turtle by the tail, when
ventroliquist standing near threw his
voice over to the turtle and seemed TO
make it say Where is you-all goin' with

The little negro heard the question.
and looked around with astonishment,
but not being entirely satisfied as to

The Courage of Failure.

All honor to the man or woman who
knows no such word as defeat: who fol
lows the pathway of a consistent pur-
pose and in the line of duty, even with
the dark shadow of failure obscuring the
way. To have the courage Of ones CON
victions, at all times, and under all cir
cumstances. requires no small degree of
character and determination. 1t is bet
a cause which one believes to be just
and right than to profit by any compro-
mise with conscience or suffer the low

Of adherence to their faith rather than

Games to Keep the
Children Out of Doors

If only the children will stay out of
doors in the long June days, it is certain
ly better for them and gives mother
chance to get on with the sewing and
otherwise make ready for vacation days.
But when the children run in from the
back garden every few minutes and
want drink or a cracker or to stay In
few minutes, it is surely because interest
in the back yard flags.
Older children, if there are several i'll
number, can usually find amusement for
| themselves, but little children don't al
ways know how, and their play is apt to
last only few minutes at Il time.

small grandson, an only child who visited

Take the number of small shells you

Shyness Is Not Necessary.
The shyness Of the boy is primarily
not due to his modesty, but to his lack Of
careful training Forwardness and loud
ness are evidences of the want Of good
breeding but self-consciousness is as
surely an indication Of parental neglect
as is either Of the other two. The old
proverb that children are 10 be seen.

this troublesome trai; q childhood. Many

and the other is the painfully self-con
