this description applied better than
to him. 1t remains to be seen, how
ever. if he retains the good Will and
respect" of the army. His forlGer
popularity was not confined to the
army. on the contrary, his popu ar
ity was attested by perhaps 50 re:
cent of the people. He was the dol
of Mexico before he went to Paris.
In his absence of almost two years
Madero has come to occupy the po-
sition in the hearts of the people
which was his. Assuming that Reyes
is the man the government has in
mind for the head of the wa Of
flee and in view of Maderos open
opposition to him, it is .'easonable
to assume that ne will not be ac-
ceptable,
General Jose Gonzales Salas has
also been suggested as minister OF
war. While the suggestion comes
from the revolutionists, it is not I'M
possible that he might be fully ac-
ceptable to the government. General
Gonzales is a native of chihuahua
and son of Gonzales Porras, who
was a deputy for many years. Cen
eral Gonzales has been given no ac-
tive part in the campaign against
the rebels. For many years he was
in command of troops in the cam
paign against the Yaquis and now
occupies the ranking position in the
infantry branch of the department
of war He has the good will and
respect" of the army as well IS of
the administration.
De La Barra Acceptable to Rebels.
The reservation made regarding the
foreign office will probably be ac-
ceptable 10 the revolutionistS, but,
on the other hand, he has done ~
erything in his power to bring the

De La Barra will, in effect, be filling

displayed their talents. Some of
- them began to give indication of
their genius in their youth, and had
distinguished themselves among their fellows
when younger than most of those who read
this magazine
Benjamin West showed that he was a born
painter when only ak years of age In the
month of June, 1745, one OF his sisters, who
was married, came with her baby daughter
to visit her father. One day. while Benjamin
was watching the baby as it slept, he saw
it smile, and its beauty attracted his atten-
ton.
He looked at it with pleasure which he
had never before experienced, and observing
some paper on the table, with red and black
ink and pens. he seized them and drew the
baby's portrait, although at that time he was
only six years of age, and had scarcely ever
seen picture or engraving.
just he had completed the sketch, his
mother and sister entered the room. Benja-
min hid the picture but they had observed
be angry with him, showed it to them. 1t
was excellent likeness. Such was the COM
mencement Of the career of the foremost artist
of his time.
Samuel Wesley, the great leader Of the
Methodists was another man who was a pre-
cocous boy In his earliest days he gave
proof of his fondnuss for and devotion to mu-
sic. When he was only four years of age he
tried to play on the violin the Kings Anthem
and Fischer's Minuet, which he had picked
uD from an organ grinder
When but FIVE years old he could tell, when
ever his brother began to play, what music
it was, and what part of the lesson-sonata
or overture.
When Samuel was about eight years of age,
Dr.. Boyce called on his father, and said that
he had heard there was English Mozart at
his house.
The doctor was shown piece of music of
Samuels composition, and, after looking over
it carefully, he declared:
These airs are certainly some of the pret-
tiest have ever seen. The boy writes by
nature as true bass as l can by rule and
study"
Samuel was much noticed after this and
played on the organ before quite large audi
cpces and the first violin at private concerts.
He loved punctuality nearly as much as he
did music. He could never be prevailed upon
to hear a concert at night The moment the
clock gave warning of the approach of eight
away he would run and ask his mother to 40
home, so that he might be in bed by. eight
O'Clock - e
DANES harrington says that when he met
the young genius, at the age of ten years, the
boy could execute the most difficult works at
sight on the piano, and his fingers never need
cd the guidance Of the eye at the most difficult
and rapid passages. His judgment ON musical
matters was renowned, and he was often con-
suited by artists and critics.
One of his compositions was played by the
band Of one of the foremost regiments in
England, to the great admiration Of those who
heard il, few of whom knew that il was the
work of small boy.

knocking together, while Burt had all he
could do to smother a. chuckle.

The policeman laid hand on Abner, now
limp as a rag, and had hauled him up to
his feet, when Whitton seemed to be struck
by a sudden thought.
