The Dailey Quartette, which ap- I neared in this city Friday night and I Sunday, completely won the hearts of j the people, therefore anything con- corning them is of !oeal interest. The following biography of Mr. J. G. Hai ley. tlx. father,* was written for the Charlotte Observer by Mr. Dion H- Hutler, a newspaner man formerly of Pittsburg, Pa., but now living at Southern Pines, N. C, and is repro duced in order that our readers may have a better acquaintance of this sweet singer and prince of good fel lows: Sometimes when I see the words of commendation, spoken of the Dailey Quartette by The Observer it seems to me that the Daileys would be ap- nreciated still more if the people knew as well as I do the struggle that J O. Da Lev has made in climbing to the place he occupies in the musical world. I knew Dailey when he was a boy, and a bov with fewer advantages than any of the others of his age In his Pennsylvania country town. Dai ley was an orphan at an early age, but he faced the proposition manfully, and a* a time when other boys were Play ing marbles and flying Kites Dailey was earning a living for himself and his mother, one of the kindliest old souls that ever lived. From childhood the boy had an instinctive fondness for music, and a* 5 soon as he was able he obtained a fiddle. Now the community t?> which his mother brought him after the death of his father was a community of militant Calvinists, where instru- menta! music was held in slight es teem. and the hoy’s fiddle received scant courtesy. It threatened to get him into trouble, but he was perse vering and tactful, and in time he had attained a considerable proficiency. Dailey Was a Shoemaker. His occupation was that of a shoe maker. and he made good shoes. He was so attentive to his work* and trustworthy In his product that he wag able while yet a bov to buy a lo f and build a home for himself and his mother. Then he bought the building where he carried on his shoe- making, and added a small stock of shoes and merchandise. Dailey hrived. Meanwhile he continued to struggle for a musical education. He ittendod the Methodist church in the village, and because he took the trou ble to study the few musical books that were available he became the leader of the choir lr» that little church. He did his work well at the church, and eventually he found time and means to go away for a brief pe riod at a musical school He came hack to continue at his bench and to broaden the basis of his little store. All of this sounds easy enough, but to the young chap who was sew ing at a shoe sole during the dav and trvlng to pick up an education at odd minutes It was a lone. hard, persist ent struggle. Every chance opportu nity had to be grasnod for what it would bring. He found a way to learn something of the reed organ by using the organ at the church. A lo cal brass hand brought some horns to the village. He added to his musical knowledge by taking up the horn Many lines of study were attempt- il 'Ai'ich had to ho abandon) il. as be id no wav to assure himself which ■ i in the right direction and which lod in the wrong. Where most stu- b-nts h’Ve access to some one who • an sol thorn on the track, with Dailey It was cut and dry experience for the hardest part ot his life, which was t hr* beginning. At length the young fellow reached a point wher^ >'e began to have the means to procure books, ■nd to make an occasional trip to some summer school of instruction, md then his progress was compara tively easy. In all of this time be never lost sight of his ambition to achiev*' something in the musical world, and what is also to bis credit, he continued to make for his mother a romfortab e home. Dailey’s struggles made him at times the butt of a jest bv the thoughtless, but he never flinched, and in the course of time he '•ompel ed the respect of those who at first laughed at his efforts to match ids wings to those they thought too lofty for him. Dailey Made Good. Then came a day when he began lo win recognition from the outside world. The prophet with honor away from home at length was accorded full measure at home. But the shoe maker had outgrown his last. Music publishers were taking him up. His work was drawing away from the lit tle store. Dailey had married, and a little family was springing up around him. The good old mother lived to see the faithful boy make a place for himself in a calling which he had made unusual struggles to reach, then in the fullness of years she died. The satisfaction with which she rounded out her long life can be imagined best by those who knew the family best. Her boy in his earliest days was disposed to he wild. That wns before she brought him from the su burbs of Pittsburg to the country. He had long outgrown that, and probably thirty years before death claimed her she saw the last intimation of any un readiness of character. When the myrtle had grown above his mother in the village burial acre Dailey answered to the call of the world, and entered the broader field afforded in the city of Buffalo. There his children found advantages, and under his care and with the opportu nities that his increasing income per mitted, the Dailey Quartette devel oped. The Wife a Factor. There was another factor in this Dailey story, and that was the wife. When the young chap was still trying to haul a two-horse load on a mighty small one-horse wagon he found favor in the sight of the daughter of athrif- tv lumberman of the community. The girl had sense enough to see what many of the neighbors could not see. and that was that Dailey had in him the elements of success and of the right kind of a fellow. They were married and the Dailey name never gave the wife's people any cause to question her choice. Three or four years ago the wife was taken, but she, too, had lived long enough to see a tremendous effort bring success from what appeared a hopeless impossi bility. Dailey’s town believes in him today. His State believes in him. In Phila delphia. where the family lives now, nothing is too good for the Da! eys. And If Dailey has some eccentricities it is not hard for those of ns who know him to understand it. The man who starts form where he started, and who runs his race in the dark. Is m-t to be condemned because some of his ways are peculiarly his own The Dailey Quartette of today is iAerest- Ing. but no more so than the Dailey who was thirty vears ago laylne the ground work for today’s triumph. Whatever there Is of Dailey is of his own construction. He is mor° than a successful evangelist and singer. He is a good example to the boy of this country of what a boy can do who has the right kind of nerve. Cozy Homes. The discovery of a new wick prin ciple—so effective and yet so simple that it’s a wonder no one thought of it before—has so revolutionized the manufacture of oil heaters and lamps that explosions, smoke and smell, caused bv imperfect wick arrange ments, may safely he regarded as things of the past. Tiiis new wick attachment is to be found on the Perfection Oil Heater. Interesting tests show that, although the h a ter gives intense heat, the wick cannot be turned too high or too low—absolute safety thus being assured. One other feature which is worthy of mention is the smokeless device which prevents all smoke and odor. The portability of the heater also commends it for general house hold use. Heater is very light and can he easily carried about. Its sim ill > operation, usefulness in heating water and warming cold rooms make it a most handy and useful article in any home. This heater is so far su perior to other oil heaters, and is of such fair price that its universal adop tion is but a matter of time. The Kayo Lamp, which is made by the manufacturers of the Perfection Oil Heater, is without doubt the best lamp for all-round household use. Is equipped with the latest improved burner, and gives a bright, steady light at small cost. Suitable for any room, whether library, dining room, parlor or bedroom. The Perfection Oil Heater and the Rayo Lamp form a combination that for real home comfort cannot be equalled. When consideration is tal:<;n of the simple operation of both heat er and lamp, their absolute aafety, the intense heat generated bv theo»e. and the bright and steady light given by the other—all without aaok* or smell—their value in anv home, large or small, can h* somewhat ed.
