A YOUNG PIANIST

One of Birminghams most interesting young pianists is Miss Orline Barnett. the pretty little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Warren Barnett. Though only 13 years of age she has made unusual progress in her music training and at a meeting of the Music Study club this week, when she was asked to play a Hungarian rhapsody by Brahms, she re- sponded with an evidence of taste and intelligence which occasioned fattering comments from her audience. Especially interesting was the fact that the little girl substituted for her mother, Mrs. Bar nett whose name was on the programme but found that she could not present the numDer. Qrline played with no refer ence to her notes and with repose and sureness hardly to be expected from g. young girl facing an audience of grown ups, many of whom are well known musical authorities. At the completion of her number she returned immediately 10 school, which she had left for the hour, so she was not present to hear the many pleasant things that were said of her talent. and her graceful, winning manner.

Of Yale was playing in the bathroom

had filled the tub with water and was
sailing paper boats in it. BY and by
he was told by his mother that he
must stop, because his father wanted
his bath. He very reluctantly com

A moment later a total stranger to the

Clemens had always relish for per-

oxford gown which he put on for
every possible occasion and said he

The Stina Of a Bee.

An eastern fable tells of potentate
who demanded that there should be
brought to him the stings Of thou
sand bees killed because one of their
colony had dared commit lese majesty
by stilging the hand of royalty. When
they were brought in tiny golden
thimble the king was so amazed to
find that a thousand Of the hypoder-
mic points made such little mass
that he issued a manifesto to the ef'
feet that thereafter no person within
the bounds of the kingdom should
complain at the sting Of bee. The
lesson of the fable is that petty an
noyances hurt because they are exag-
gerated In the mind: that when they
are seen in their actual proportions
they are so slight as to merit only
contempt. How much comfort would
come to the majority Of persons II
they could but see the tiny size OF the
bee sdngs that lead them to acts OF
petulance, words Of anger, expressions
of reproach. The bee sting annoy
ances have caused lifelong breaches Of
friendship. They have broken up fam
lies and caused anger and resentment
to take the place Of love and fealty.-
