Great Singer Was
Kissed bv a King

When Madame Media was just a
little school girl way off in Mel
bourne, Australia, her little friends
used to gather around her, and beg,
do make that funny shake in your
throat" None of them then had
any idea that that same shake"
would be worth over two thousand
dollars an hour.
Madame Melba's name when she
was a little girl, was really Helen
porter Mitchell, though everyone
called her Nellie. Her father had
come from Scotland to Australia,
where he had become very
wealthy man. 1t was in Australia,
near Melbourne, that Melba was
born, in 1865. Her first lessons
were the lullabies her mother, who
was an accomplished musician,
sang to her. Her first piano les
sons were also given to her, by her
mother.

Boston Boy Serves
in Biz Strike

AS soon as the army of Boston's
police force walked out" last week,
volunteers appeared to help in the
difficult situation of directing
traffic and keeping as much order
as possible. One of these volun-
teers was Frank Cassel, of Chelsea,
Massachusetts, q boy fourteen
years old, who began directing the
traffic on one of the busiest corn
ers of the city. At first people
laughed at him. But they soon
found that he meant business and
acted quickly and ably in his place.
When the soldiers Of the state mil
tia, which were called to help put
down tho strike, they found Frank
was there with the goods" and SO
they left him on his volunteer po-
lice duty. 4--

strongly disagreed, Nellie set out
with paste and brush and stuck up
her own bills and raised 800 by
her own effort. Already people
realized that her voice was natur-
ally very beautiful, but every no
ton toward public career was
opposed by her stern father.
When she was only seventeen she
married Charles Armstrong, man
who was not at all interested in
music. Freed from opposition in
her home, she now sang wherever
she was asked.
In 1887, her father went to Lon
don, and Melba went with him. She
had a letter of Introduction to
Nine Marchesi, the great French
teacher, and as soon as she could
manage it she went to France.

Dear Aunt Polly:
What is the next thing in the
world to be invented?-N. r. E.
Dear N. r. E.:
II may be a "Blimp" omnibus, a
ballon that can carry many people
and that will take US ride-say
fifty miles long-7for nickle. Or,
it may be small airplane on the
Ford style, an airplane that will go
anywhere and that will not cost
any more than Ford automobile,
and then everyone, almost, will
have a little airplane tied to the top
of their garage, and airplanes will
be as thick in the sky as bees are
around grapevines. Or, 1t may be
an Aladdin's lamp that when We
rub it genii appears and we will
say, 20, Sir Genii, give US knowl-
edge so that We will not have to
study to be bright and know all we
are supposed to know" And the
geni will answer, ut shall be
done." And all at once you will
find that you know just when all
the battles were fought and why,
and just where all the important
treaties were signed and what hap
pened to them, and oh, just every
thing-and all you have to do Is
just to play all day long while the
genii gives you big dose of knowl-
edge every morning.
1t might be lots of things, but 1t
seems to me the very best thing
that a person could invent and that
probably will be invented very soon,
is a little button that fastens on the
bed right by the side or your ear.
Then when you are called to get up
in the morning, all you need to do
is to press the button, and 10, you
are up and washed and dressed
and eating breakfast right on time,
and mother is so happy because she
does not need to worry now that
you might be late to school.
Wouldn't that be Just wonderful?
We do not mind being UP a bit, a
half hour after we're up, but it is
such terrible thing to lie in bed
and know you have to get UP right
away and the bed did not feel SO
comfortable all night as It feels
right then,-and-well, we do hope
that some one will invent some
thing like that during this next
year. Just think how we would
like button like that on those cold
winter mornings.-Aunt Polly.
Dear Aunt Polly;
What. was the name of the wife
of Thomas Jefferson, the third
president of the United. States?
What were the names Of his child
ren?-Dorothy J.
Dear Dorothy:
Mrs. Jefferson's name was Mar
tina Wayles Shelton Their daugh-
tiers were named Martha and Maria,
although Maria was usually called
Mary. They had another daughter
named Lucy who died when she
was only two >ars old. Martha ,
and Mary went to school several
years in France.-Aunt Polly.
Dear Aunt Polly:
When will the time come that
men like Patsy stand on the street
corners and give candy and ice
cream cones to all the kids Benny. |
Dear Benny:
At the time when all of our other
dreams come true.-Aunt Polly.
