Joseph Hofmann's Career.

The Polish pianist, JOSEPH Hoffman,
was born in 1876. His remarkable
gifts were inherited from a father
who directed the opera orchestra at
Warsaw and who was himself a dis.
tinguished pianist and professor of
harmony at the Warsaw ccnserva-
tory. He was the boys only teach
er until the latter reached the age OF
16, when he was accepted by Anton
Rubinstein as private pupil.
Hofmann's genius was Of course ap-
parent at an extremely early age; his
| first lessons were taken when he was
barely large enough to balance him
self on the piano bench and in his
fifth year he appeared in public. Re-
ports Of that first concert tell us that
an enormous audience gathered to
witness the performance of the child
whose name had already been heard
in musical circles. The recital was
nothing short of sensational and with
in a few years the young Josef was
known in every large city of Europe.
1t was at that time that he made his
first memorable tour of the United
States, arousing ovations.
Soon afterward he retired from
public gaze and resumed his study.
He went to Rubinstein and remained
in close association with that master
for two years. In 1894 he made a
debut with overwhelming success and
since that time he has been con-
stantly touring. He is acknowledged
today to be one Of the greatest plan
lists of the world and no artist has
ever met with truer and warmer rec
ognition in this country. For several

A TRIUMPH OF TEAM Work.

Rep.rts Of friction between our
armed forces and those of our allies
seem to be greatly exaggerated AT
any rate a degree Of harmony and
team work was manifested never be-
fore seen in a coalition of nations.
Ii is wonderful, when you consider
how these forces and these nations
differed in their interests, habits and
ideas This unity was principal
cause of a great victory. 1t took
wonderfully gooJ management to
unity all those various forces into a
harmonious whole.
This should be an object lesson to
US in all our civic life here in Beldin,g
as il shows what tremendous things
can be accomplished when people for
get their differences and work to-
,gether for community ends. When
IL comes to politics of course we all
have our different views, which it
IS our privilege to express. But in
civic life there are a thousand inter-
ests whose we should all think about
alike and where we should all pull
alike and together in perfect team
work. - , asa x

They pass them by every day on the

from thouEhtlcsSncsS. If everyone in
Wheeling who could afford ii would givr
Il few dollars now and then or some
hhlf-woru clothing TO tic charities with

Siiy for appeals. The charities do no.
like To have 10 max" Appeals. and. uII
