YAWNlNG TO FILL THE HOI,
LOWS.

The secret Of being we'll rounded
and having the hollows filled out is
not to be padded with fat, but to
have a good muscular DEVELOPMENT
such as may be acquired by persist
ent exercise, says The Delineator for
January.
A perfect chest and bust depend
upon the lung capacity. AS singers
advance in years they develop SUI
perb chests because of the tremendous
lung expansion that the forced
breathing cultivates. We will go in
to this some other time for those
who wish it, now I want to ask my
readers II they know the value of
yawn and good stretch for devel-
oping the chest, shoulders and neck?
No? You've never thought of it,
have you? Do so--and see what
happens.
All breathing exercises are based
upon the yawn, and the yawn is ma
lures means of ventilating the lungs.
Now, If we bring our imagination to
play upon the yawn, we can improve
1T. For instance, stimulate a yawn-
let it be an exaggerated, ng-drawn-
out yarn. The chest elevates itself, the
abdomen distends itself, the should
ers raise themselves, the muscles in
the neck grow tense, even the nos
trials are dilated in short, the en-
tire breathing apparatus is tremen-
dously stimulated.
Now hold the inhaled air while
you throw the arms out and stretch
vigorously; bend the elbows until the
clenched firsts rest on the shoulders,
then flap the elbows back and forth
while slowly exhaling the breath and
relaxing generally. Nothing can
equal the yawn and stretch practised
and repeated in this way to develop
the muscles and fill out the hollows
of the neck, shoulders and chest.

Criticism.

Among the lighter works for piano

have always had a sentimental in
terest In the Barcarolle, says Nine.
,Carreno in The Delineator. I will
tell you why. Edward Mcdowell
came to me as piano pupil when
he was nine years old and studied
with me for several years.
That he was q gifted boy goes
without saying. 4 urged strongly his
going to Europe to make serious
study Of composition. and after he
had worked for several years he sent
me bundle OF compositions In man
uscript. II want you to look through
these things" he wrote. "and then
give me your opinion Of them. not as
my friend and teacher. but as mu-
sician. Tell me honestly II you think
I ought to go on trying to compose
or whether should give 1t up and
try something else."
Among those manuscripts were
this Barcarolle and the Hexentanz,
both of them worthy of a place in
any piano repertoire. And still this
boy Of eighteen, who could write
| such music. had the modesty to ask,
In all sincerity, II thought he
should give up composing and try
something else. / need not tell you
what wrote in reply.
In the years that have passed, I
have played both of these compost
tions all over the world, and they
remain today the most popular of
the lighter numbers in my programs.
But for the Barcarolle I have a par.
ticular fondness. because away back
there. when I first played 1t from
manuscript, I could see In 1t the fu-
ture promise which the composer 50
amply realized in later life. It was
not big thing. 1t did not represent
striving after greatness. It was only

ROSENWALD IN CHARLOTTE.

Collins Wireless Promoters Doings

Much interest has developed here
IN the case against M. L. Rosenwald,
who is charged with some sort of
malpractice in connection with his
work as fiscal agent for the Collins
Wireless Telephone Company. Head
quarters for this concern is in this
CITY, the offices being located in the
Realty building. Rosenwald was
given the work of representing this
company in Columbia, S. c., and re-
ports from that city indicate that he
skipped town, leaving behind some
debts, and according to the allega-
tions, failed to deliver certificates of
stock to those who purchased shares
in his concern.
"Rosenwald, it is remembered. is
the same man who was held i'm the
county Jail here some months on q
charge of crookedness in connection
with a book agency he operated. The
chief prosecuting witness did not ap-
pear against him in court and the
case was dismissed. He is a man of

of this state. it was impossible fo:

Everyone in the state is to be given

ANGRY BOY SHOT
HIS TORMENTOR
Man Handed Him Loaded Gun
and Then Repeated His
Tantalizing Story

Kansas City, Oct. 5.-Because Dom
ovan Segman, Kansas City, Kas.,
boy, 13 years old. disliked to rise early
in the morning. Joseph A. McCurdy,
an Oklahoma farm nand. teased him
The boy, angered by the taunts, with
a shotgun fired at McCurdy, killing
him. The shooting occurred a week
ago at the farm house of Frank Hen
dirk, the boys grandfather three miles
west of Tecumseh, Okla. The boy,
charged with manslaughter in the sec
ond degree. was released yesterday
from Jail there. No bond was requir-
ed for his release and it is probable
that there will be no prosecution.
Details of the killing were receiv-
ed by letter last night at the home
of Zacharia Segman. father of Dono-
van Segman, at 27O7 Allis street, Kan
sas City, Kas. According to the let
ters McCurdy, the farm hand, and
Donovan Segman had become greatly
attached to each other since the boy
went to the Hendrix farm last April
to spend the summer. Friday MORN
ing of last week after the grand
mother had called repeatedly for Dom
ovan to get up for breakfast, McCurdy
went to the boys room.
The Farm HIND leased Him
"If l was your grandmother I'd
whip you, Dan," McCurdy said teas
ingly.
You wouldn't do anything of the
kind, Joe, for I'd get you if you did,"
the boy replied.
Donovan rose and went out on the
veranda, complaining about being
awakened and saying what he would
do. McCurdy kept on teasing him.
you wouldn't shoot me if you had a
gum" McCurdy said.
Il would if you whipped me-"
The farm hand took a breech-load-
ing shotgun from a rack and gave it
to the boy with the remark, Here's
a gun, and l still say if was your
grandmother Id whip you If you
didn't get up
"Here Goes" He Said, and Fired.
The boy took the gun. examined it
to see If it was loaded. and with the
remark, here goes" fired. The full
charge struck McCurdy in the abdo-
men. He crawled few feet after fall
ing, but died without speaking.
Mrs. Zacharia Segman, mother of
the boy, is almost broken hearted.
Il can't realize" she said at her
home this morning, "how my boy,
who never had desire even to handle
gun, had shot and killed our kind
