Every one of their concert selections, many of them intricate and difficult, has to be memorized This is not only good training for their memor- ies, but adds greatly to the artistic effect of the boys work.

Federal Authority Grows Apace.

Complete control of all the railroads
of the country by the interstate COM
merce commission, and the practical
elimination Of state commissions from
any authority is foreshadowed in the
opinion which has just been handed down
BY the United States supreme court.
The court held that hereafter all locomo-
tives, cars, or other equipment used on
any railroad, which is highway of
interstate commerce, must comply with
the federal safety appliance act. In
its opinion the court laid down the rule
that compliance with the federal law
Is compulsory on all railroads which
are engaged in the transportation of per-
sons or freight from one state to an
other, In infinitely celebrating this POI
sition it Is held that the cars or equip
ment Of such roads, even If engaged in
such transportation within the confines
of state, must be considered as part
and parcel of the road, and therefore
completely under the jurisdiction Of the
federal commission The mem
bers Of the interstate commerce commits
sion have been embarrassed on numer-
GUS occasions by clashes of authority

Reckless Pedestrians.

"James r. Smith was killed yesterday
afternoon in an automobile accident.
The accident happened when Mr.. Smith
turned suddenly TO avoid pedestrian,
who had stepped directly in front Of the
machine. The automobile crashed into
telegraph pole and Mr.. Smith was
instantly killed Mr.. Smith has rcpu-
taton as very careful driver and
witnesses say he was driving very slow
ly at the time OF the accident"
One hears much all over the country
nowadays about reckless driving. There
are two sides TO every question. What
about reckless walking?"
In crossing a street, always look
straight ahead, up at the sky or down
az your feet. but never by any chance,
to the right or left.
If YOU are truudling baby car
rage, always select very crowded
crossing to cross upon. Stand a moment
or two upon the crossing, as il deliber-
ating whether TO embark or not, while
All the drivers and chauiTeurs are watch
ing YOU anxiously, and then, with the
utmost delibotation you are capable
Of and the most nonehalant indiifer-
enee to your surroundings, make the
passage.
II YOU meet an acquaintance in the
middle Of the road, by all means stop
right there and have quiet little
friendly chat with him or her Under
no circumstances bother to step up on
the sidewalk.
II You step out Of a trolley car never
look about you. but assuming that the
street must. Of course, be perfectly
cleared in honor of your arrival, start
az once to the sidewalk.
When waiting for trolley car, it
il always preferable to stand square
" in the middle of the road. You might
miss il if YOU waited on the sidewalk,
II you are small boy, whenever
you see an automobile coming, run across
the road in front Of it to see just how
close you can come to being run over,
without quite doing it. If you mis-
calculate BY any chance, you viii have
a fine revenge on the automobiles, as
your parents can collect damages from
him and he may even be held for man
slaughter.
Whoever and whatever you are, re-
gard all automobiles and drivers as your
natural enemies, and in so far as you
can without too much peril to your own
skin. get in their way and hamper and
annoy them
/ have entitled these few suggestions

The Poor Latin Teacher Who Made II
Possible for Bessie Abott to Become
a Great Singer.

Famous Prima Donnas" In the January
number the early lives and struggles
of three famous singers are reported.
OF Bessie Abbott, the author tells the
story of poor Latin teacher who lived
in the same boarding house when she
was fourteen years of age and taught
her. This was in New York City. The
following is an extract from the article;
"For months she studied. Her volun-
teer teacher was George Henry Roberts.
As a youth he had made debut of
promise, ii seems. a. singer; dissatis-
fed with himself, he gave it up after
that single appearance The years fol-
lowing he devoted to searching for what
he felt to be the right way to use the
voice. But Of singing he said no word
to her, until one day she brought him

he exclaimed, You deserve a reward
What do you want 2

singer she answered, I'd lay down my
life.
He took her to hear noted singers;
pointed out their virtues and faults,
and carefully guided her. That went
on from fourteen and half until
she was eighteen. Meanwhile after
schooling her, he took her to Mrs. Ash
forth to study singing For large
part of that time he attended the les
sons with her, studying with her at
home, guiding and watching her every

herself had worked ceaselessly. Her
whole girlhood, until she was twenty,
was spent in making foundation for
what was to follow,--a career that would
likely have never been hers had not
the desire to read Caesars commentaries
and big-hearted friend pointed the way
to it,"
