HOW THE MASTERS WORKED.
Great Musical Composers Used Dr.
ferent Methods In Getting Their
Melodies Before the World.

Mozart loved company, wine, ana
good fellowship. Operative
were driven to despair by the fact that
he would linger In the wine room or
at the billiard table when they were
in sad need Of perhaps an overture
that he had promised. but had put on
writing until tomorrow"
But the overture was sure to be
forthcoming just at the last moment.
for was it not all completed In his
head, and had it not been for many
days or weeks? Il was the manual
labor Of writing out that he shirked.
VINO that has copied music can blame
him?
Schubert fingered much at the taS.
ern. Well, perhaps 1t was more cheer
full than his home. No clatter OF
plates and glasses or chatter of busy
tongues could stay the flow Of his
beautiful melodies.
The fountain must flow even though
the world thought naught Of the
stream. Many of his songs went for
twenty cents apiece, while their au-
thor lacked the necessities OF life.
Haydn would shut himself up in his
sixth story garnet and pen the sym
phonies which paved the way for Mo
Fart and Beethoven. So absorbed in
his work would Haydn become that
the absence of food or fuel was I'M
known; the joy OF composition was
enough to produce oblivion to all min
or matters such as food, But a scold-
Ing wife may have had somewhat to
do with his voluntary isolation.

You've got to go to work, sir!" de-
clared old Ezra Porter stormily.
You haven't raised me to work and
| don't know how TO do it" replied his
nephew and heir, Ronald Dunstan, not
impertinently, yet with a shade of de-
lance in his tone.
Then what did you waste five years
on an education for?" snarled the
irate old man.

replied Ronald calmly. 1T led to my

living. Until you do, l disown you"

in his usual smiling, imperturbable
way. 1T may be hard at the start, for

ly wrathful because he could not fright
en- this Independent young man into
becoming humility. "As a penniless ad-
venturer, | hope you will not have the
presumption to continue your atten-
lions to Miss Delevan."

full, and old Ezra thrashed around anew

of the perfect confidence Of his nephew
