BEETHOVEN, THE DEAF MUSICIAN

Almsot every girl and boy has heard
of Beethoven, the German who played
so we'll and who wrote so many beauti-
fine concert some performer plays a
piece written by this great man. Would
you believe it, Beethoven began to show
his wonderful talent when he was not
much older than a baby? His father,
poor man. saw that the child would
easily learn to play the violin and
piano. so he decided that his son should
be wonder child" hoping that
great fortune might be made from the
boys talent. This meant that he should
be able to play well enough to give
concerts while still child To do this
the poor little fellow or years old,
was called in from play every day and
made to sit on high stool to practice
his scales on the piano.
The little musician often played his
violin lessons with big tears rolling
down his cheeks. He had to do this
work, though, for his father sat in the
room with him to see that the boy was,
very careful in doing what had been
taught to him. When the lad was
years old, perhaps, he began to be glad
that his father had made him spend so
many hours on his music, for at that
age he gave a great concert. playing
before a large audience OF distinguished
people Even the noblemen OF his coun-
try sent for him to play for them. When
Beethoven was 10 years old his mother
took him to Holland. where he played
in many fine homes and astonished
every one by his skill in playing on the
piano. violin and flute.
Then the boy performer returned
home to learn the organ, and before
long he was playing the church organ.
AS most of the child's time was taken
up with his music. he did not go TO
school after he was l3 years old, SO
private tutor taught him Latin, French
and Italian When Beethoven was lS
years old he went to Vienna TO play
before Mozart. who was then the great
est living musician. At first Mozart
took little interest in the awkward,
stub nosed young man and barely list
ened to him when he played several
pieces. Then Mozart gave Beethoven a
little phrase of music on which he was

Then the group of watchers broke into
little knots and walked home to talk Of
the two heroes and their bravery.
The next day was the first of June.
All the morning the farm wagons pro-
vided by the trustees had been deliver
ing their fragrant loads at the acad-
emy. The pupils were allowed to
inspect them at noon recess. Frank
took pains to be among the number,
because he liked Bertha Spencer and
wanted to see her garden. He hoped
ii would win as he knew, too. how
badly some of her Jealous schoolmates
had treated her.
Frank left the school garden exhibit

puzzled face He met Jim Spencer,

home.

Jim rather contemptuously. He pre-

her" exclaimed Frank, spying Bertha

lily to hear the composer whom he said
was so extraordinary that the world
would hear him some day. Sure enough,
Mozart was right, for, although it has
been over hundred years since Bee
thoven died, yet all over the world Bee
thovens compositions are played. 1t is
said that musical themes and melodies
ran through Beethoven's mind day and
night. Everything in the world brought
music to his soul. He wrote one beau
tiful symphony in memory of days
spent in the country in the green val
ley of the Rhine. The music makes one
hear "a brook flowing through the for
ests and the birds singing In one part
the heavy rush of a storm seems to
thunder and after it there is the peas
ants song OF JOY because the storm had
left them unharmed.
Although the great musician was
poor all of his life and much of his
time sad lonely or ill. yet the greatest
symphony was written to joy. When
it was played the first time Beethoven
himself conducted the orchestra. When
: 1t was over the audience cheered wildly
and some even stood on their seats to
wave their handkerchiefs. The con-
ductor still stood with his back to the
audience looking down at the orches-
ira. Beethoven had not heard one note
of the sweet music which had been
played. nor did he know of the ap-
plause of the audience, ror his hearing
which had been growing worse for
years, had then entirely gone.

able today, would be worth billions So
persistently has the campaign of deple-
ton been waged and so relentlessly has
the charge on the natural resources been
prosecuted, that 1t is a pulpable fact that
unless an imperative halt is called the
time will most inevitably come when the
people will actually want for that which
nature so avishly laid at their very
doors. If a judicious use had been made
by the people of their heritage, the time
would never come when nature would
fail to pield up adequate supplies for
their comfort and happiness.
After all it depends upon the earth
and the products of the soil and of the
waters to render unto man the necessities
of life. So startling has become the con-
dition that not only has protective legis-
ation been necessary. but artificial prop
agation of game and fish has been re-
sorted to in order to restock the fields,
forests and streams.
State should Give Protection
"Since the state in it's sovereign capac-
ity occupies the attitude of guardian and
custodian of the peoples welfare, it is
therefore the duty of the state, by en-
actment of appropriate legislation, to en-
deavor to extend adequate protection to
those resources in which the people have
collectively a natural right. Wise and
discreet individuals who feel no inclina-
ton to make assaults on natures store
house should have their rights protected
by the enactment of strong laws to re-
strain the hands of the wanton and reck-
less, whose vandalism would annihilate
every visible thing of shell, fin, fur or

Wallace VIII Push Proposition.
Says State Should Protect
Welfare of People
APPROPRIATION NEEDED

Montgomery, May 21.--(Special Estate
Game and Fish Commissioner John H.
Wallace, Jr., is preparing to inaugurate
a campaign looking to the further protec-
ton of the natural resources of Alabama.
In this connection he is strongly favor
able TO the enactment of law extending
further protection to Alabama oysters,
and he Is ardently favorable to SUBJ
stantial appropriation to be expended in
the development of the oyster industry of
this state.
When asked for an expression on this
proposed legislation today Mr.. Wallace
said:
Alabama possesses a vast natural re-
source in the general richness of the oys-
ter beds located in the waters of Mobile
bay and its estuaries and in the Missis-
sippi sound within the boundaries Of this
state. The natural oyster reefs for more
than a century have been so persistently
preyed upon that those in close proximity
to land have been woefully depleted,
while on others the natural growth has
constantly pyramided to the detriment
and destruction of the oysters below.
There are thousands of acres under
water susceptible of oyster culture on
which no oysters now appear. Large
appropriate for oyster culture by first
covering them with layers of stones or
shells to which the spawn can attach
itself. This can be done at an extremely
low cost, compared to the tremendous re-
turns that are certain to follow this me-
dunn of the development of the oyster
industry.

article of food, one that will always

tremely high cost of living, the time IL

From the beginning of time those en-
