suffering had done their worst, and
that worts was to free her little soul
that it might fly back from whence
it came, and to wiring the hearts of
those others that gathered about the
pitifully silent bedside.
In that hour, although my ear was
not attuned to catch the rustling of

the eternal question. The great
truth burst on me that it was for
this she had been called, though but
a little baby girl here, only lisping
her wonder of the world and her love
for those about her, yet she possessed
the power OF God Himself, and had
gone home with at least one star in

the hand of many friends of mine
who are skeptical concerning the
chief end OF man; what he is, where
he came from, and whittier he goes;
l would like to lead them down there
where l was the other night, and
stand with them in genuine brotherly
love, silent the while, that their eyes

their hearts feel what mine has felt;
their ears hear what mine have
heard; then, with arm twined in

l know a man who thinks that he
could write a book or tame a bee;
could run the earth in every way
much better than it's run today;
could sail boat or ride a mule, or
teach the teacher in the school; could
beat the band at every squeak were
he to train about a week; could do
all these were he to try. He doesn't,
though wonder why? l know him
like a printed book, as well as
though l were his cook. l know he
thinks that he could run the universe
and call it fun. If he could only get
a start, that he would play a won
drous part. But still he sits around
ind waits, and on his merits cogitates.
Perform in every line? Great Scott!
He knows he could-but he does not.

A Gift From God.

A gifted child is a gift from God.
1t is not an accident when such a
child comes to your house and starts
to fight its way to the top of its
chosen path.
1t is Gods work. 1t is Gods plan
to send inspired little ones to humble
homes, so that humble names shall
become great names.
1t is by this method that He keeps
a balance here on this little ball of
mud.
1t doesn't just happen that the la
borer's child wants to do great
things, and does them, despite handi-
caps.
1t is the Divine Plan that no name
shall become great and remain the
only great name-but that others
shall have their share of honor also.

GENIUS AND LIFE.

Genius is a rare thing-as soon as
1t becomes common it ceases to be
genius. The world gets but very lit
tie out Of its exceptionally intelligent
men, because they die before they
reach their full powers. Much ado
is made over the death of infants;
but 1t would be much better If we
could preserve our men Of great abil-
ity until they reached an age Of, say,
one thousand years. AS it is, they
put in their most vigorous years in
learning what has been found out
then Just about the time their powers
begin to wane, they have secured
enough knowledge to be able to push
on ahead of what is already known,
but with constantly decreasing force,
until in a very short time they die.
What little additional they have
found then becomes common property
to all to be learned over again by an
other generation, which in turn dies
but little advanced beyond its prede-
cessor. But II the same man, a gen.
ius, could put in his first thirty years
in learning what is known in his par
ticular line, then begin to invent, dis
cover and progress, and continue II
for a thousand years, there is nc
question but what one revolution af-
ter another in that particular line
could be accomplished by one man.

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
IN SAN FRANCISCO,

The engagement of the Boston
Symphony orchestra to give a dozen
concerts at the Panama-Paciflc ex-
position at San Francisco during the
latter half of May is quite the biggest
proposition that has ever been at
tempted by an orchestra of this coun-
try. The contract provides that the
entire orchestra with DR.. Karl Muck
its conductor, be taken direct to San
Francisco and return direct TO Bos-
ton, giving no concerts on the way out
or on the way back. 1t is planned
that the orchestra will leave Boston
Sunday morning, May 9, in a special
train composed Of five Pullman sleep
ers. a private car, two baggage cars
and u diner and this train will be
taken through unbroken TO San Fran
cisco by way of Chicago, Omaha and
Ogden. The exposition pays a fiat
sum for the II concerts and this, it
may be taken for granted. is not in
considerable.

FRITZ KREIsLER's SEASON.

Fritz Kreisler. the great Austrian
violinist, is having a success this year
which has been exceeded only by the
best tours of Paderewski. 1t is a
cause of constant surprise that a
viOlinist should continually draw
everywhere such huge audiences. He
began in the second week OF Deem
Der and his concert work will end in
May. In that time he will have play
ed about 90 engagements. He has al
ready given three recitals in Sym
phOny hall, Boston, TO absolute
capacity; three in Carnegie hall, New
York, with like result, and two in the
Auditorium in Chicago. AT the end
OF the season he will have played. all
told. more than 8 times in New York
city, these including appearances with
the Boston Symphony. the New York
Philharmonic and the New York
Symphony orchestras, his own re-
citals in Carnegie hall. his appear
ances at the Sunday concerts in the
metropolitan opera house and numer-
Gus private engagements. Owing to
the great number of engagements in
the east he will not be able to go to
the Pacific coast this season.

temper, had dismissed all his ser
wants. At last jim Cole, who mad
rowed over to the house by the lob
ster-pound TO deliver some meat.
came back with a story that caused
real excitement. Rogers had shown
great perturbation; he had said that
his wife had gone away on the boat
that night, which was for several rea-
sons plainly impossible. Moreover,
Cole, prying into an Outbulldlng, had
picked up a jeweled buckle from a
wOman's shoe, and by the light OF a
match had seen what looked like
bloOd-stains on the floor. As a fur
Their damning circumstance il was
learned that a woman had arrived in
boat at Rogers house on the night
of the supposed murder.
This singular situation forms the
basis of a stry rich in subtle interpre-
tations of human nature and in the
finer kind of feeling. Nothing could
be more delicious than the tale Of
how Bill Cross-gallant retired sea
captain, with the love of adventure in
his blood, and present sheriff of Bid
well-eluded his wife and went TO Eu-
rope in search of the woman who
wore the jeweled buckle. Few cpl
sodeS in modern fiction are more
strange and affecting than the flight
of Rogers throug the storm and dark
ness to the Forgotten Place-through
the familiar woods, down to the old
tangled path, even to the old cave
by the waters edge, that ne haC
known as a boy.
And when the mystery is cleared
UP it is found to depend upon motives
not obvious, but as natural as poetry
! or youthful romance.

"GranviIIe Barker

Two pieces of theatrical news of
some Importance have broken" this
week. Speaking at a meeting of the
Otto II. Kahn, who was prominent
among the hackers of the New the
alter movement. announced that Gran
whom l have spoken before this win
ter, will come to New York every
season.
Mr.. Kahn would not amplify his
statement or say whether a special
theater had been secured for Mr.,
Bankers repertory plays. But it is
evident the New theater crowd is
heart and soul behind Mr.. Barker and
this means financial assistance of the
best sort.
Mr.. Barker also spoke at the meet
ing. describing the policy Of a theater
for New York which would appeal to
a higher standard Of intelligence and
assure the production of a better
grade of plays. His speech was a
plea for the repertOry policy of con-
Quoting a playhouse.
The other piece Of information af-
fects the whole country. 1t is nothing
more than a declaration that the
much heralded patching up of peace
between Messrs. <law and Erlanger
on the one hand and the Messrs Shu-
bert on the other, is all Oft. This
does not mean a theatrical warfare
says a statement issued by the X. and
r., Offices but there is a pretty well
defined opinion along Broadway that
this is just exactly what it does mean.
