Mr. Cullen says of the restriction: “It was also done to break up the practice of certain parties buying Pullthan accommodations and forcing the public to come to them and pay them fees in order to get what the public had a right to get at the Consolidated Ticket Offices ‘without the payment of any fee whatever.” Can Mr. Cullen point to any concrete instances and examples of ?

The injustice and inequality of the thing makes every woman boll with indignation, The truth of the whole matter is that in 99 cases out of 100 the ma‘ in the case has done the “‘soliciting.’ He has taken the initiative in flirting with the girl and getting acquainted with her, just as in this case, when young soldiers in uniform approached these girls and got acquainted with them, 2 Every woman knows when she is on the street at night that it Is a very common occurrence, even on a well lighted thoroughfare, for men to try to get acquainted with her. Not wishing to call an officer for fear of being drawn into the lime- light, the woman lets the incident go, and the man goes unpunished. Now, if an officer sees this attempted | flirtation, he does not arrest the man as a general thing, but he will arrest the woman and let the man go. That night or the next day the woman goes to court with nothing but her word to defend her, and on the evidence of the officer the Mag- istrate, according to law (if he sticks to the letter of the law), convicts the woman of the charge. bi If the man were taken to court along with the gin, or even held as & material witness, the cases would be rare indeed where a woman could be convicted in the light of honest evidence, Because, if the truth were known, the evidence would show that the man in the case was the first to ac- cost the girl and theréfore equally guilty, if not more so.

As a result, he had not only his own hard uphill dattle to fight, but was forced back at overy stepyby the q | | } plots of cliques of these all-powerful opponents. This meant years of grinding poverty and & thousand setbacks for the young genius. Unswervingly, he tackled his seemingly impossible task. And he made good. He won recognition and immortal! fame. His full name was Johann Crysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. When jhe was @ good deal smaller than his name, he proved himself an infant | prodigy. He played the violin and the piano in masterly style as a mere | baby before he could read or write.

It was on sale nowhere, Tlie public could not secure a copy. Mozart attended a Vatican recital where | the “Miserere” was played. After hearing it once, he went home; wrote | out every note of it from memory; then played it to his friends, His German foes carried word of this exploit to the Pope, in expecta- tion that the daring young genius would be punished; perhaps excom- municated, The Pope, however, merely sent for Mozart, gave him the Papal blessing, and told him that such talent as his was a direct gift from God and must be used in God's behalf. Failing to injure Mozart in this way, his opponents tried others. When he won 4 music contest against some of the foremost of them, one of their number, Adolphe Hasse, declared loudly to his fellows: ’ “This boy will make the public forget obr very names!” In those times the most practical way for a musician to keep alite while waiting for financial success was to gain some court appointment which should feed and clothe him.
