Oar own generation Is just as fruit- n ffel as any that axe gone In examples s of genius in humble life. Of our greataat living poets, William Watson first . aaw the light In a Warfedale farm- s' house, and John Masetleld, the latest atar in the poetical firmament, found s his first Inspiration while working in o the fields. J. M. Barrie was born in fi a Klrriemur cottage, at least as bum- ? Ma as the roof under which Thomas a Oarlyle, stonemason's sou, entered the | world; and H. Q. Wells, son of a pro- ' ^ ttssional cricketer, served behind a draper 8 counter before he diaoovered p the gold In his pen. I It would be an easy matter to name C at least a score of living authors of (o repute for whom life has opened at least as humbly, without taking Into '' account such poets of undoubted. If ^ obacure, genius as A. O. Williams. c, hammerman; Joseph Sklpney, the "pltr j, man-poet," and others, equally gifted, tl who have earned their dally bread by narry work and farm labor. , w It is, however, among musicians that a we find the most remarkable examples i'T of talent In unexpected places. A1 lesandro Bond, the world famous singer, was working as a bootmaker's ap- ^ prentice less than thirty years ago. and when he abandoned the awl to seek a fortune in his glorious volca, tr ha was supported by friends, poor like ei himself, who subscribed a few francs each per month. and was so poor that r> he was compelled to tramp eighteen ! miles a day, to Pesaro, and back, for ' his lessons Caruso, at the same time, was wield- (p lng a blacksmith's hammer; and was v serrlng aa a private soldier when a | .passing officer discovered the wonder n of his votoe. Miss Stella Carol, when t she was similarly discovered, was ^ singing on a Hampstead pavement In ' the chilly duBk of a winter evening; . M. Qlorglni, the famous Italian singer, 0| when he was hawking fish In the R streets of Naples, and Herr Rontman d when, as a huckster, he was taking fr around vegetables on a wheelborrow. ai m nouBseuere, me King or Prench operatic singers. was. not bo many ^ year* ago working as a blacksmith, "paaalng rich" on three franca a day; s. Mile. Cavalierl was flrst known to lo- l cal fame as the prettleet flower seller in Rome, and her wonderful voice c( was first heard In Paris cafes, where tl her reward was a few coppers a night ?Just as, long years earler, the great a Christine Nilsson, "Queen of Song," witched coppers from the frequenters ^ of Swedish faira by hor nightingale notea; and Miss Evia Gwyn's voice Jc was "discovered" when she was "pourlng out her soul In blithesome song" c? in a baker's shop at Pwllheli. U And similar romantic stories are nl told of many a musician whose name ^ today Is famous?from Herr Pleldler, the PollBh violinist, who was dlscovered by a wealthy Welsh lady in a tc Tvrolese cafe-chantant, to MIsb Marie h Hall, who hut a few years ago, was reaping a scanty harvest of pence by playing In the streets. a Art, like music, calls her clever chil dren from the most unlikely placet*, t) There are half a dozen living police- ? men who have proved that they can w ply a skillful brush, from Mr Jones b of Leeds, whose work has been hon- ' ored by the Royal academy, to P. C. Rushen of the city of London force, J'j one of whose clever canvases may be seen In the museum of the Guildhall. Walter Marshall, whose normal work w Is the repairing of electric tramcars, has a picture accepted by the acad- w emy. Nor must we forget Samuel Hanoock, the London postman, who a some time ago gave tui exhibition of (| his pictures at the Dore gallery; or -y Mr Hk>xall, a Somerset house porter, | whose clever painting has won much c admiration. y BABY BEGGARS HER FATHER >' u Savings of Steel Worker Thrown from Train Window Leaving Family Stranded New Castle, Pa.?Aooordlng to word c vauT hprft from ffnrnuhHA t>?? ?..? - * steel worker now at Harrtsburg, Ha. ; his savings were thrown from a train (1 ne.'ir Philadelphia by hie baby, Joae <1 Russo, and his family are stranded j Itusso, his wife, and children, were t returning from New York, where they a went to meet a relative, when the savings of several months were thrown ^ away.

Both are enemies jj o disease germs. c Annihilate the fly and mosquito? ^ icreen against them. The fly often r omes direct from carrion or excre- t ent and deposits all kinds of 0 >utrescent matter and dangerous lisease germs upon your food. He R s a proven medium of communicat- ^ ng disease and should be extermi- v lated. Killing the fly is a good ^ hing to do. ut it is better to pre- w ent his coming by destroying his ^ ireeding places which abound in ^ aanure and filth. The mosquito is also a serious Q aenace to health. In the Southern v tates the anopheles (malaria-bear- a ngl mosquito causes about 5.000 eaths a year from malaria and 00,000 cases of Illness from the n ame cause.

Recently e touched upon the present-day disepute of the drinking man and conrasted the public man of today and f yesterday. Doubtless the grape-juice incident uggested the subject and the bumplous declaration of Colonel Rooseelt in favor of buttermilk impelled Ir. Dooley to sallies of wit, but whatever the occasion we recognize he truth of the statement that pub iu men ar? uu lunger uu?i?tiui auuui I rinking; rather they are desirous f becoming known for sobriety, in i iew of an overwhelming sentiment : gainst the consumption of liquors. Pause just here and think. Only a few years ago the stateslan and his toddy, the less ambiious official and his flask, were acppted as commonplace. No one was j reatly shocked. The sturdy farmer ailed on the county officials and ghtened the bonds of support by , ae bottle; the business man took a ip at noon, and the side boards held le narrow-necked decanters. At fifty our men were red-faced , nd lear-eved. Today the sternest disapprobation i shown the man who drinks. So holly repugnant to present concep- \ ons is the drink habit that Colonel oosevelt went nearly across the 1 mtlnent seeking vindication in a bel suit of the charge of drunken- j ess.
