foremost musical critics of
Europe, composed song?,
some of which were well
worth preservation.
It looks as though this
era of child precocity had
returned. Almost every
day the news develop soma
youngster who is doing
(•'lings cut of the common.
Only recently it was the case of Al
bert Wiener which Interested the public.
He is a youngster of II, who has just
entered Tufts college, being the young
est freshman in the history of first-class
American colleges.
Wierner, beside mastering all the ele
mentary studies, is a student of philoso
phy who knows his Huxley and Spen-
,Qr hotter than the average boy knows
Ids Robinson Crusoe, is an expert in
Ijattn, mathematics and chemistry, and is
further advanced in most of liis studies
than the best student in the college.
Xow comes still another instance of the
wonderful development of the American
boy.
MUSIC AND STORIES.
This ;s furnished by Melvyn Edouard
Hesreiberg, of Nashville, Tenn. He ir
just turning 5 years old. but already he
composes music and writes stories.
Hesselberg is a name well known ir.
Nashville, for the father of the wondor-
lul youngster is Edouard Hesselberg, a
musician of interactional fame, who has
lately taken the chair of music in Bel
mont college. Nashville.
Mr. Hesselberg is a Russian, a grand
nephew of DavidoflT, the world's greatest
cells? He, too, was precocious, for ns
" student in Moscow he was permitted
to appear at (he famous Philharmonic
concerts, being the only student lliu s hon
ored. When he graduated he received
a gold medal, the only one tendered to
any member of his elass. and performed
Liszt's famous "Danse Macabre" before
•a distinguished audience. Hesselberg
then studied piano with Rubinstein.
In 1905 Mr. Hesselberg went to Bel
mont, as director of the musical depart
ment. He and his staff have lifted the
college to a place of importance in the
south.
Mrs. Hesselberg is also an artist, a
writer, who makes a specialty of chil
dren's stories in the kindergarten form.
From this artistic parentage it is easy
to see where the youngster gets hi
ts'em.
FIRST EVIDENCES.
Little Hesselberg was born with melody
In his soui. At the age of 3 1-2 years
he began humming little melodies, which
seemed to the musical car of the father
to have originality. He questioned the
boy. and asked where he had heard
them.
"I just made it up." was tho boyish
answer.
Thinking the melody had merely been
an accidental bitting of notes that went [
well together. Mr. Hesselberg paid no ,
further attention, until he began observ I
ing that the boy remembered every note
of each melody as he sang it the first i
time, and that lie kept them all separate :
ar.d distinct in mind, and never confused j
or ran vjem together. 1
Then iittlc Hesselberg started giving
names to his melodies. They were sim- j
pie, little, meanlngiess names, nursery !
terms, one for instance being known as j
'Chimalin, Chimalin, Ohim,” but they
stowed that he mentally treated them
as distinct tunes. j
I5y this time thoroughly interested, the
father sat down with the boy, and had
him hum over his little repertoire of
airs. He wrote them out and on each
put the name given by Melvyn.
Several days later he called the boy to
him.
"Sing me ‘Chimalin, Chimalin, Chim,' "
lie 3aid.
The boy went over it note for note with
out a single change In time or melody.
Then he did the same thing with each
of the melodies, and the father who had
copied them down, note for note, was
astonished to find how faultless the
child's memory was.
From this time on, Melvyn has been
composing. He is still too young to read
or write, hut he dictates the
his father.
HE IS CHILD-DIKE.
Like all children, lie is very critical,
and will not allow a note of what lie
invents to be. changed. Ills father has
frequently experimented, and purposely
made alterations to see if Melvyn would
detect them. In every case the result
has beep the same. T;;c boy has pro
tested instantly, and compelled the air to
•be played as lie had first discovered it.
Most of the melodies are good, and
show originality. This could hardly be
otherwise, for Mc-ivyr-. Is too young to
have observed and studied the ideas of
others, and that which lie produces must

day lie fell into the chimney and burned
tip in the fire.
There was nothing left of him but
ashes; somebody took these ashes to a
jewelry store, and used them to make
a doorknob for the store (by udding other
things into the ashes).
And again the hoy was horn (the same
boy); God put les soul in another body,
and so he came back into this world.
But still lie would not behave, and did
not mind Ids mamma. So he climbed
up again on the roof and again fell into
the chimney and again was burned up,
till nothing was left of him, except ashes.
This time they took his ashes and used
them in making an old straw hat, and
this was the end of the boy, because j
God had given hi mtwo chances.

My boundless, never-ending faith in Dr. Whoop’s

Rheumatism, else make no charge.”

And yet, strange to say. not one sufferer perhaps
In a hundred, even knows as yet of the remedy
and its power to battle against pain. To stir, to

Reader, you that are well and happy, do an act
of humanity. Tell some tortured and suffering
one that there is yet one way to liealth-one way
entirely free from risk, or of money loss.
For a complete cure I charge $10.00. for I must
strike a fair-to-all average price. It is true that
many will be cured with a bottle Or two of fay
remedy, but chronic, exceedingly deep-seated and
difficult cases, may require ten; twenty, or even
a greater number. He. I believe, who has actually
suffered the panzs of real Rheumatism, will hard-
ly complain of the price when cured, because per

particular case.

Sherlock Holmes read, to detect the least
error or deception.
Melvyn does not look like a genius or
a child phenomenon. There is nothing
of the priggish precocious child wonder
about him. He is fat and healthy, in
fact a famous boy beauty.
HIS WONDERFUL BEAUTY.
His beautiful features and perfect com
plexion have made him the winner at
numerous beauty shows held over the
state. At every exhibit of pretty chil
dren he is invariably the winner. Lately
at the state fair he took first prize in a
competition against hundreds of children.
It is the purpose of Mr. Hesselberg
to give Melvyn the most advanced mu
sical education. He believes that there
is in his son the capacity of a musical
genius, a great one, and this estimate
does not depend alone on the father's
fondness, for others, who have heard the
simple little melodies of the boy, with
their freshness and originality credit him
with a natural flow of tunefulness that
when refined and developed by art and
study ought to make a great composer.
But Melvyn will not be taxed too hard.
The little brain's capacity is not to be
overestimated, because of its unusually
early declaration of power. Not until
it has matured enough to bear the strain
of hard study will the father begin tech
nical training of his child.
Meantime Melvyn will continue to
dream out his little stories and compose
his little nursery jingles, and take the
beauty prizes at tho fairs and shows.
As a sample of the kind of story he
writes, there is appended a little tale
he dictated to his mother a couple of
months ago. It is simple in form, or
course, but it lias a purpose and shows
an understanding of how to present facts
in logical order that is really wonderful
in such a youngster. It follows:

Slowly his fingers relaxed and the ivory

“Stephen!”
I-aurine had returned to her husband's
face in a warn? flood and she cried out:
“I love you!"
But the picture did not respond to her
passion. It was unworthy. It did not eve-i
whisper into her listening car. Yet
through the mist quivering on her own
lushes Laurine fancied she saw the silent
lips move.
They were lovable lips, with indescrib
able. sensitive curves, the heavy brown
mustache did not hide. They were pas
sionate lips that could make for a wom
an heaven or hell.
As she sat trembling before the fire,
bearing the burden of her love, the por

Laurine started up. flushing guiltily.
“Oh,” said she. mastering herself as one

Bhe faced the original of the portrait.
“Yes, it is I." replied her husband bit
terly. Then he added more kindly, “Do
not hurry, I^turine; your presence does
not annoy me.”
Laurine turned away to hide the tears
that filled her eyes, and lifting her violet-
scented handkercTiTef to the picture, she
renlied coldly;
“There is a slight defacement here,'
said she, lying gracefully, as she brushed
the canvas indolently. “I will have it
retouched tomorrow. Good night.

Laurine held out her hand with careless
grace.
“Good night,’

The hand of the woman fell, untouched,
to her side. Her red lips trembled as she

they only could know!
Stephen took the hand of Laurine be

The odor of violets—wood violets—came
to him through the silken drapery that
sheathed her lissome body iti like a slen
der ear of corn. The breath of her nos-
tiils was like the music of a never-to-be-
forgotten June in the far south. Through
her heavy lidded eyes lie saw the eyes
of his early love, and with tho passion
of the past surging like a mighty torrent
through him, Stephen Brabaton drew
Laurine close to him and pressed a hun
dred kisses upon her hair, her neck, her
burning lips, as she lay in liis arms sob
bing like a frightened child.
Men do these things. They lie to wom

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and many fatal results
are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the
restless, sleepless and
pass water often during
to got up many times
during tho night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheu
matism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or
dull ache in the back, joints and muRcles; make
your head ache and back ache, cause indigestion,
stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yel
low complexion, make you feel as though you had
heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition,
but no strength; get weak and waste away.
To overcome these troubles take Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has
yet been discovered.

condition, take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let
it stand twentv-four hours. If on examination it . . , ,

tlist magazine that his company "has not paid a single penny to Dr.
R. V. Pierce’s concern * * * in settlement of any suit ” ? We
wish you to know the truth. The facts are these :
Four days after the article in May 1904, appeared, Dr. Pierce’s
company sued The Ladies’ Home Journal publishers for libel. The
trial was had in April last. Dr. Pierce proved that the attack made by
The Ladies’ Home Journal was false. He proved that Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription does not, and never did contain either alcohol or any
of the injurious drugs which The Ladies’ Home Journal falsely stated
it did contain. This was so conclusively shown that the attorneys for
The Ladies’ Home Journal -were forced to admit it. The jury rendered
a verdict against The Ladies’ Home Journal in favor of Dr. Pierce’s
company for $16,000.00. This was a complete vindication of Doctor
Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription.” It judicially established that
the libel was wholly false, and without any justification.
Dr. Pierce, however, believed that his company is justly entitled
to a verdict for a much larger sum. Through his attorneys he has,
therefore, applied to the court for a new trial of the case. For this
reason, and for this reason alone, has The Ladies’ Home Journal not
yet paid "a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce’s concern.” Dr. Pierce
has simply chosen not to collect the judgment until the motion for a
new trial has been decided.
In the light of these facts does not this boastful statement that it
w has not paid a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce’s concern ” look like
a cheap and common bluff, a half truth intended to mislead you ?
During the trial of the libel suit
against the above mentioned publishers,
Dr. Lee H. Smith, Vice-President of the
World’s Dispensary Medical Assoc.ia
tion, stated under oath that the ingredi
ents of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion were wholly extracted from the
following nativflLToots; Golden Seal,
Bhie Cohosh, Lady's Slipper Black
Cfiiqsh and Unicorn^y means of pure
glyWhoe of proper sn^ngth. He was

other diseases of the womanly or^
and he 6tated that he knew such w
the fact because of his professional ex
perience and the many thousands of
women whose ills, to his personal
knowledge, had been cured Dy this
"Prescription.”
Tills experience of Dr. Smith was corrob
orated by the standard Medical Authorities,
of the several schools of practice, endorsing
ments. In fact the "Favorite Prescrip
tion” stands alone as being the only
medicine for woman’s special ailments
which has any such professional endorse
ment of its several ingredients which
fact is generally recognized as entitled
to much more weight than any amount
of lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The "Favorite Prescription” stands
alone as the only non-secret, medicine
for woman’s ailments. Its manufact
urers are not afraid to publish its in
gredients, as they do, broadcasL—thus
courting the fullest scrutiny.
The "Favorite Prescription” has been
on trial in court and came out fully
vindicated as containing no harmful or
habit-forming drugs.
What other medicine for women could
stand such a test ?
No invalid women can afford to
accept a secret nostrum of unknown
composition for this tried and proven
remedy of known composition. Lead

THE HEART C(F THE TREE.
(Henry Cuyler Bunner.)
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of sun arid sky,
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plapts a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard—
The treble of heaven's harmony—
These things he plants who ■plants a tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain.
And seed and hud of days to me.
And years that fado and flush again;
lie plants the glory of tho plain;
He plants the forest's heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see—
These things he plants who plants a tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap.'and leaf, and wood.
In lovt; of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good—
His blessings on the neighborhood
Wl»en in the hollow of His hand
Holds all tlie growth of all our land—
A nation’s growth from sea to soa
■Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.
