What is f that distinguishes the amateur from the professional? The obvious answer would be that the am ateur is not paid for performing and the professional is But there is q deeper distinction and a more subtle difference between these two classes of people than can be expressed by mere dollars and cents or pounds. shilliugs and pence
 The popular idea that genius thrives on poverty and that hunger Is neces. sary incentive to great accomplish ments. is often erroneous when exam med hy the light of facts. There k little doubt that. due to some mysteri- ons Inv of compensation. genius. and especially artistic genius. Is mostly found in the middle and poorer classes af society. It would be difficult. think. 10 name many poets, seulptors. painters or musicians of great emi- nence who have sprung from royal or aristoeratie families People of noble mind are raref than people of noble birth. and while good breeding in men. horses and dogs is always attractive. it IS not. as a rule. associated with any great intelligence or vivid imagination. doubt however, whether extreme poverty IS helpful to the development of genius. and the fact that several of the great poets possessed independent means and were able to express them selves more nr less completely without being tormenied by the trammeling influence of poverty ur starvation, proved that genus can thrive without the aid 8f want l believe that such men as Victor Hugo, Browning.

his m5desty To do a thing badly and then Co apologize for doing it, IS sim ply to add insult te injury. The mers fact that man has the courage to paint Ii picture and show t to his friends. or to sing a song in the pres eHce of the public, converts his modes ty into a piece af ridiculous hypocrisy OF confession of utter stupidity. No doubt when medesty was made vir- tue. t was an advantageous thing for the fools. for everybody is expected to speak of himself as if he were one, and this is what most amateurs do. But they are not sincere. Ii they were, they would hid their accomplishments ns they do their vices, although the latter would probably prove to be much more interesting than the former.
 But our quarrel k not with the am ateur painter as. after all. this Is a harmless occupation for people who spend their lives in doing nothing Nor do we object to the amateur seulp tor who. at any rate. Is obliged to do his work at heme. Even the literary amateur is relatively harmless as his writings merely serve as Il silent safe ty-vaive for stupidities which We are not obliged to read, but our quarrel Is with the amateur singer who is gener- ally pest and often public nuisance. There are mn and women who insist on singing after dinner well-bred people who utter i'll bred sounds with heartless disregard for their friends digestion They are victims of what I call the singing Doctors and men of science should begin to take this malady seriously It's appeal will be more ta the student of psychol ogv than to the physiologist People who have a fixed idea that they can sing, seldom have any voice at all and such talents as they may possess are usually devoted to tormenting their neighbors or undermining the domes- tic bliss of iii. family circle

W. HARTFORD GIRL
 HON0RED BY POET
Bard Of Baltimore Writes Poem | for Little Miss Gelth

Washington. D, C.. April 2e P)- Little Patia May Gerth of West Hartford, Conn, who was in Wash ington as a proud delegate to the annual convention Of the Children of the American Revolution. has had her fondest hope realized.
 She is the recipient of a poem on George Washington dedicated to her by Henry Edward Warner of the Baltimore Sun. She wrote to MT. Warner requesting poem in re- membrance of George Washingt on s birthday. Mr. Warner remembered meeting Patia in Washington last year and promptly sat down to write some verses for her. But he did not know exactly where to address the letter because she failed to sign her last name. The West Hartford post master, however, ferraed out the g. year-old young lady and she recited the poem before the convention.
 The following letter was sent to Patia in reply 10 her request:
 My Dear Little Patia:
 'I am very terribly, awfully busy if you know Uhat I mean, and what am busiest about is work that has to be done, so that I can have but ter and jelly Tor my bread. knew a man once who did not have any but ter or jelly for his bread, and he was a grouch. I don't want to be a grouch, so I must put in lot of time working hard.
 But you get your George Wash ington poem just the same. and wouldn't do that right now for any other girl Tn the world. So you see how much love you. And do you know there Is little girl In my house who is two years bigger than you are and one time I was telling her about you and she threw her arms around my neck and began to cry because she thought l didn't love her as much as did you. Wasn't that funny?

Well, Patia, what shall We say about George Washington. So much has been said about him that I think you ought to have something very different and so am going to write this for you:
 Here is Patia's prayer: Good Lord. l pray that l may be A good American and see All other children grow to love The land our flags unfurled above. Good Lord, I pray that may stand For this. my own, my native land. And always think the things that you And Washington would wish me to. Make me a woman. good and true. To love the Red. the White. the Blue. And where our glorious flags
 unfurled
 Send love and justice to the world And when I stand to make my bow, Oh. Lord. please manage it somehow. That I shall wed a loyal son. Send me a man like Washington"
