NINE. MELBA's FIRST ENCORE
Her Concert Was a Big Success, But
Little Playmate Saw Her
Garter,

When six years of age Helen Mitch
ell (Melba) appeared at a school con-
cert, organized by her aunts in Rich
mond, Melbourne, the suburb of her
birth. At this entertainment she sang
Shells of the Ocean" with such eff
feet that the audience asked for an
encore and the child on her reappear-
ance, created still greater impress
sion by her singing of Comm Through
the Rye" for which her grandmother
had taught her the Scottish accent.
At the earliest opportunity she hur-
ried to her faVorite playmate, who
lived in the same street, and breath
lessly waited for reference to the en-
tertainment of the evening before, but
the little comrade was adamant and
ignored the whole subject. After
many attempts to introduce it, Nellie
at length found herself unable to wait
longer, and exclaimed excitedly: But
the concert, the concert! / sang last
night, and was encored." And she
looked with eagerness in the face of
her friend, who answered witheringly:
Yes, and, Helen Mitchell, I saw your
garter" Little Miss Mitchell had been
particularly pleased with her neat at
tire, and the unexpected shaft COM
ing in place of the looked-for COM
pliment, in an instant blotted out the
memory of the intoxicating encore, and
drew the little singer from the seventh
heaven of her brief delight to limbo

Finally one hornet came free of the

FREAK IN sEQUoIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed from Its
Base.

Out in California there is tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from it's base
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is Is feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers Is feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by the
discharge and was therefore useless
for lumber. Accordingly, the work was

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play

scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and tried several rene.

thought would try them. I gave her

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

The Root of AltruIsm.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice; that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that 1 ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
l can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if I do not
do SO. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. K. Chesterton.
