NINE. SCHUMANN HEINK
CHEERS AN INVALID

II IL no unusual thing for Madam
Schumann-Heink TO DE asked 10 sing
particular song at one of her re-
citals for the special pleasure OF some
one of her thousands of admirers. Such
requests run from hymns to ~Suanee
River" and frequently there Is a pa
thetic appeal from a housed-in invalid
for a visit from the great contralto
Such a cry invariably touches Schu-
mann-Heink's heart. for she is above
all compassionate and tender.
Last month. while concertizing
through Iowa. Schumann-Heink sang
In a small city. and after the concert
she was approached by a sad-faced
woman. who said:
Madam. l am almost afraid to ask
you such great favor. but | have a

stronger than most others: the famous
singer knew and felt the anguish that
was filling the woman's soul. and she
responded to IL with her characteristic
love and warmth.
The following morning. the cele-
orated artist went to see the poor,
stricken young man who had but a
short time to live. Seating herself at
a little "melodion," which was the
only instrument that the family pos
sessed, the singer poured forth her
glorious voice and played her own
accomplishments. And she sang more
than one song; sheg ave nearly a
whole program. there in the little par
lor for the little audience. Probably
no brighter hour will ever come TO
that household. Certainly the cheer
that Schumann-Heink brought to the
sick lad raised him for above his
earthly ills and gave him more Delight
than he dared to hope for on this
earth.
Madame Schumann-Heink will be
heard at the Court next Wednesday
evening The seats for this event will
be placed on sale Monday morning at
