It is related here with the hope that it may help us to establish a better policy in dealing with * ? iL. neeay young men in me iuiuic. Mr. Gossett's father had been-a; prosperous planter, but all was lost the war. Both parents died soon afterwards, and the children were scat- j tered among neighbors and relatives.' since there were then no institutions for the care of orphans. James was first assigned to a farmer who refus- j ed either to permit him to attend school or release him to care for himself. Leaving this hard master after a time he settled with a friend cf his ' father, where in the course of three years he was able to save about $100. He then attended school at Pacolet. buying his provisions and hiring it cooked out of his small savings and what he could earn raising cotton j while in school. Bv this stern denial and unremitting toil he was able to secure a good high school education, but a college education was beyond ! his power and there was no one to ' help him even with a loan.

I he operatic stage, so was Paderewki the dominating figure on the conert stage. Caruso is dead and no one has been j amed as his worthy successor. Pad-j rewski, though still living, is likely! ever to play again in public. But, nlike Caruso, his successor has been j amed. According to Henry T.
