TH0ET0N MINOR 103 West 9th Street yL KANSAS CITY Wf FIFTY YEARS THE YOUTH OF AGE I do not know who It was that first said Fortune knocks once at every mans door but I know he was wrong In his implied meaning that the knock came only once In each lifetime Fortune Is often near us if we only knew her face She appears in as many and changing guises as a lady of fash Ion and we do not recognize her many times We pass her by with averted gaze or indifferent air or scowling glances or looks of fear That Is our fault not hers It is be ause we lack insight and because we ire not looking for the good dame When a woman Is looking for her lover she sees some one who resem bles him at every street corner He is so constantly and so persistently in her mind that every passer by takes on his semblance And by and by he comes If we are fully expectant and positive Fortune will come to us and even In trouble disappointment and loss we will see a semblance of her face a sign of her coming Do not for one Instant allow your self to believe that she has passed you by The road she travels is an endless circle She reappars again and again to the watchful and observant eye If she hs passed your door today and knocked while you were sleeping and you awoke to see her retreating form down the roadway do not despair and say theopportunity of your life is gone Remember it is only one opportunity Set yourself about your business keep busy hopeful and expectant and look for the return trip of Fortune Do not expect to see her in the same gown and bonnet She loves new apparel She Is a woman and fond of new ef fects See to It that she does not slip by you again unobserved But even if she passes a second time you need not de spair She is Immortal and never dies But you are mortal and you need to enjoy her benefits while you have the powers of enjoyment left in your brain and body There is another time worn Idea you want to toss into your mental waste basket In my early youth I remember read ing somewhere that unless a man had achieved something at the age of thirty he never would make a place for himself in the world of men He who was a failure after three decades would be a failure to the end I have heard men of tlhrty quote this saying with de spondency and self contempt in voice and face It has discouraged more minds than it ever stimulated Ob servation has taught me the absolute allacy of the idea There have been instances of great M YEAB OLD PIANO T EaOHEBi -6 9 - Constance Williamson a 2hIcaso Lawn girl opened a school of atiusic recently for piano instruction The school has started with the found 3r as president director and instructor n one and there are two pupils both aider than little Miss Williamson They ire Helen Carr aged 9 and Marie Pud ris years old Constance is a musical prodigy She is a liny bit of a lassie scarcely four feet high with a round rouguish baby face and a mass of auburn curls She is so short that when she sits at the piano her feet cannot touch the pedals so improvised pedals are built upward toward the stool by means of a wooden box through which levers reach to the pedals below In this way the child musician gives tone and expression to her music The little girl made her first public appearance as a musician when she was but two and a half years old and car ried off honors fit for an opera queen When she was three years old she play ed in several of Prof C W Edwards recitals in Chicago where the musical elite were present At four she prac ticed several hours a day but only when she wished to for her music is always spontaneous and never forced In this particular Constance is unlike a genius Cor even Mozart and Beethoven were made to practice when mere babies Constance studied with Prof Edwards Cor three years and when he left for Europe she took up her studies at the Musical Coliege Now Prof Edwards Is to reopen his down town studio and Constance is again his pupil SHE LIKES CLASSICAL MUSIC The child has always played music by the best composers only heavy classics that many a grown person can not master She reads rapidly and ac curately and possesses a natural know ledge of harmony She has loved Beeth ovens sonatas since she was old enough to notice any sounds at all and later when her mother would play for her amusement the little girl would beg Cor compositions which she was told were sonatas One day she climbed to the piano stool by means of a divan and commenced to play a soft low mel ody with her head turned knowingly to one side She was then so short her baby feet stuck out straight from the 3tOOl What are you playing Constance her mother asked A Cincinnati the child replied Constance is the daughter of Mr and Mrs A T Williamson of Chicago awn who naturally are very proud of their 3aughters beauty and genius Con itance has played in many concerts in aalls and churches of the South and West Sides She is full of lun and jhildish and not a bit spoiled by the praise and attention that baa been jhowered upon her When she was old enough to walk she iras old enough tq touch the keys of the piano in perfect chords never striking aiscords as do most children She has k wonderful knowledge of musical tech pique and possesses the power of im parting what she knows to others IV men who achieved nothing but a suc cession of failures until after the age of forty and even fifty We must remember that man not God divided time into years Some men are younger at fifty in brain and heart and body than others at twenty five Some natures like some trees grow and develop slowly It is wise for every youth to make noble and persistent efforts to attain some measure of success before thirty It will enable him to enjoy a restful middle life But if he falls through his own errors or the unavoidable occur rences of fate let him by no means im aginahe is to be a permanent failure Fifty is the youth of old age Be tween fifty and eighty there are thirty good years for work and success and happiness Ella Wheeier Wilcox in Cb cago American SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS Limit of Time For Mailing Remem brances With the approach of Christmas peo ple are making preparations to send re membrances to the soldier boys and others of their friends In the Philippine Islands Cuba and other of Uncle Sams new possessions For their benefit this paper presents the following information To Insure prompt delivery in the Phil ippines before December 25 parcels packages and other mail must be de posited at the postoffice on or before November 23 Mail posted after that date or November 24 at the latest will not reach the Philippines till Jan uary On addressing letters or packages to a member of the military give name of company and regiment the location of the regiment ia not demanded but it will help to facilitate delivery No package or parcel of any gind ex- ceeding the weight of four pounds can be sent through the mails All pack ages sent to the soldiers will be received at domestic rates which is 1 cent per ounce on merchandise and 2 cents per half ounce for letters For Cuba and Porto Rico mail should not be sent later than December 1 For China same as the Philippines domestic rates also prevail where the letter or package is addressed to the soldiers It requires not less than thirty days for a letter to reach the Philippines but owing to the rush of Christmas mail delays are probable m m m Although the coal strike is practical ly over the coal barons will continue striking the consumers for several months to come THE DIFFICULT CHINESE LANGUAGE Its an easier thing to teach a China man the Christian religion than to learn his language which is Yiewed in all lights a strong statement The hard working missionaries who have done both are to be marveled at It may be berely a matter of patience to convince a Chinaman of the beauty of the golden rule but supreme and ex traordinary gifts must be required to master the Irrational uncouth squirm ing characters that make up the Chi nese alphabet which is of course only the merest beginning No language so abounds in idiom or revolves ifself Into so many distinct dialects An ordinary person finds dif ficulty in even counting the different ways in which Chinese is spoken while nobody has ever yet been heard of not a necromancer who was able to read the legend on his laundry bundle There are scholars and diplomats however who are able to tell you with out consulting the dictionary that the Chinese for boxer is a word of six characters that looks as if it were made up of umbrellas chairs and rocking horses It is much simpler to write however tluit the Chinese words for the various pronouns which must be continually used in any language Eight elaborate characters for instance are required to express him while half that number represent the translation of the pro noun IM Among the shortest words and phrases in Chinese are rather enriously those which have to deal with the i treatment of women as if they had become shortened by much usage It doesnt take a Chinaman long for in 4stance to speak of abandoning his wife Two characters are sufficient And to abuse a woman is expressed in similarly concise fashion Expressions of tenderness may not be of as common use with the Chinese lord of the household- At all events the word for dear is an appallingly cumbersome affair comnrisinsr seven- teen character It must take an i dance of Oriental leisure to indulge oft en in this phrase Christian on the other hand Is ex pressed in four letters war in five and laugh a verb which few persona would dream of connecting with the Chinese in two More than 17 per cent of the waiters in Germany and 21 per cent of the wait iess receive no wages at all being ex pected to subsist on fees
