on his father took him on a visit to
the Royal Court. The little boy
was left to his OWn devices upon
arrival and the first thing to catch

chapel. lie was drawn to it as a
magnet. and soon soft notes were
stealing through the chapel. The

tel-rupied by the Duke of Saxo-
Welscnfels. The Duke at once rec-
ognized his natural musical abili—
tics and set about to persuade.
Ocorf'e's father to let him have
good teachers so that his tuft-m
might not. be. wasted. At lost his
father consented. although he did
so reluctantly. So Georges dreams
were coming true! For some years
he studied hard and diligently the
mysteries of his beloved work.
At the age of nineteen he went
to Hamburg. Here he accepted a
position in a theatrical orchestra as
violinist. At this time Handel also
played exceptionally Well on the
cisviehr and harpsichord as well as
the violin.
One night Justbefore the perfor-
mance was to take place, word was
received that the leader of the or-
chestra was ill and could not at-
tend. The manager and other mem~
bers of the orchestra were in a
panic. How could they face the
expectant audience? But Handel
conquered this embarrassing pra-
dicament. He stopped in and took
charge of the orchestra. When the
performance ended it was pro-
claimed a huge success and Handel
received the position of assistant di-
rector.
At this time he wrote his first
two operas. "Almlra" and "Nero."
These were favorably received but
“it did not arouse much enthusiasm. So
in 1707 Handel decided. to go to
Italy as this country was then con-
sidered the home of opera. During
his stay in Naples he made the ac-
quaintance of a man considered to
be the best harpsichord player of
is day. This man was Dominico

A story is told of the dangerous
methods he once resorted to. be-
cause a singer would not obey or-
ders. ‘ fie ‘ lifted' her from the
floor. in_his anger. and proceeded
towardsuoopen window. This did
not have the desired effect upon the
stubborn singer. so Handel thrust
half of her body out of the window
d calmly stated that the other
point. and the singer went back to
her work. for she knew that Han-
del in a rage, was a' man to be
feared. ’
Later Handel went- to london.
Here be rented a theatre with the
intention of producing his operas.
But in a very short while he was
bankrupt. Not discouraged. how-
ever. he tried again and after a long
and heart sickening struggle. grim
failure again stared him in the face,
and he became bankrupt a second
time. Also at this time an Anti-
llandel society had been formed by
the aristocrdcy of London and it
did much to discourage him. This
finally ended in a mob riot in a
London theatre in 1728 where one
of Handel's operas was being acted.
By this time he had hardly enough
courage left to go on with his
work. Heavy debts were resting
upon his shoulders. What was he
to do? Being a very honorable man
he felt that he must do something
to obtain money to pay his credi-
tors. even though he was not
bound by law to do so.
lle saw. that his (pores Were, not
meeting with the success of former
years. so be abandoned them alto-
gether. But he produced a. much
more beautiful work in their place.
He "set the Bible to music!" That
is he selected passages from Holy
Scriptures and wave into them,
golden threads of melody and har-
nlany. calling them oratorios.
Handel wrote twenty of these or-
ntorios during his stay in London
and succeeded in paying all his
debts. llut alas! many of his ora-
torios were produced and then
forgotten. This_diseoura.ged him
very much but he decided lousmake
one more effort.
So he wrote the “Messiah.“ the
work which really brought him
fame. For we never think of
“Messiah" without think of Han-
del, and we never think of Handel
without thinking of the “Messiah."
This great masterpiece was written
in twenty-one days! And it was
started on August 22nd and com-
pleted on September 14. 1741. This
great masterpiece which takes over
two hours for performance on the
stage. was written including the
solos, accompaniments and choruses
ni twenty-one days! And it was
written so perfectly that we might
say. without exaggerating. it not
only came to life in Handel. but
that it completed itself in Handel.
For very little of decided originality
has been added since Handel pro-
duced it.
The “Messiah" was written in
Handel's front room in his house~on
Brook street. in London. The first
part was completed in Seven days.
the second in nine. and the finish-
lug touches were put in. in the re-
maining. Handel did not‘leave his
house while writin’g this master-
piece. Sometimes his work held
him so fast that he could not
break away to pa ke of the food
brought to him by is servants.
Handel drew himself out of the
common every day wqud while
writing the “Messiah." He aforgot
everything but his beloved work and
his ‘mind‘wandered as in a trance.
To hear this wonderful work one
would almost think that Handel had
passed through ,1 some beautiful
dream. And that. while in this
dream 0 had wandered into the
pastures of God and had heard some
of these beautiful throbbing melo-
dies, issuing' forth from the harps
of angels. .
When he had completed the sec-
ond part and had come to the Hai-
iclulia. Chorus. his servantjound,
him with tears streaming down his
face. and upon hearing him enter.
Handel exclaimed. , ’
“I did think that I did see all
Heaven before me and. the great
God Himselfl'f ’
Handel'did not intend to‘produce
the “Messiah" as soon as_ it wns
completed. His recent
had not beenflas favorably received
by the public as his first. so .he felt
discouraged and was certain that
Macon did not want him any, long-
er. ,
In the intumn of the year 1742
he received “invitation to go to
Lublin from the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. 80 Handeinleft, London

the almost universal compl
both big and little cities where there
is any pretense of what is called
"keeping up with the tlmes"——that
is. its expenditures for its municipal
activities outrun its income.
As all cities. whether located in
Europe or in the United States. have
problems that are akin. it is com-
mon sense to think that they can
learn from each. other's experiences
and practices. .
Noticing the wretched condition of
'the pavements of Naples. an annual
report was sought in the Municipal
building. No one could be found who
had any knowledge of such a. print-
ed report. and no one could be found
who had the least idea how uch
was being annually collected in -
es. nor how the'ooikicttpns were
lug expended.
The assessor‘ had charge of oldie
Tax Department, but it was not in
the Municipal building. When his
office was finally found it was too
late to transact any business. But
American persistence finally won out.
and the assessor was seen. not once.
but several times.
He was a most affable gentleman.
‘who. as soon as his suspicions were
alloyed by the sight of strong cre-
dentials. promised to do what he
could to produce the figures asked
for—but it would take time to dig
them out.
"We are not collecting in‘tanes as
much as we are spending." said the
assessor. {The rates are sufficiently
high. if the taxes were collected.
The fault lies with the local customs
officers. They are negligent in ad-
sessing all the taxable farm pro-
ducts finding their way into the
city.” '
On all the main thoroughfares
leading into Naples are local cus-
toms stations. entirely separate from
the customs houses on the borders.
The duty of the local customs of-
ficers is to tax everything the farm-

Fishermen and duck hunters who
are 'on the river thwese‘ days are
bringing in tare: or‘poo'ds they have

fishes. big and little. that thousands

it deems. if they could. for an im-
portant food resource would be sav—
ed thereby and at the same time the
desperate finny creatures would be
put out of their misery. If left in the
ponds death is certain as soon as
ice forms. ‘ _
The government‘fish nescue crews
have done their best. but were ob-
liged to stop operations the last of
October because the small fundnl—
lowed for the‘work had been ex.
hausted.‘ .
Up to that time they had senied
150.009.000 fish from land-locked
ponds and put them back in the
river at a cost of 13 cents a thousand.
The number of fish raved is small.
fishermen believe. however. compar~
ed to the hordes which had to be
left to die under the ice this winter.
The upper Mississippi is a mum.
moth natural fish hatchery. During
high water in the spring the mother
bass. pearch. jike and catfish and the
females of all the other species go up
among the islands and into the flood—
cd boitomlands to deposit their eggs.
Myriads of fish hatch.
All goes well wiiK them for a
couple of months, but along in the
summer the Mississippi falls rapidly
and hundreds of ponds full of fish
are left out off from the channel.
They must be removed from these
ponds and placed in the river or
deathtls certain. The ponds either
dry up or when they freeze over in
the winter the fish are smothered
under or frozen in the ice.
For about fifteen years the United
States bureau of fisheries has been
engaged annually in coining the fish
from these death traps. Most of the
rescued ones are placed in the Mis-
sissippi. Some are shipped away to
other rivers and lakes all over the
'threetoid” i-a'iué‘.‘|
Destruction of an important food
resource is prevented; the Missis-
sippi. one of the greatest fish-pro-
ducing bodies of water lathe world.
is kept smoked. and good fishing is
made on many island rivers and
lakes and lakes. _
Never anything like all the ponds
are coined. because the appropria-
tion for the work is wholly’ inade-
quate to meet... the requirements.
The number of lend-lOCked ponds
left unseined varies with the stage of
thc‘river. At exceedingly low water
times like this year they exist every‘
where in the islands and bottom-
lands.
When it is known that as hlgh'as
a. hilt-million fish have been taken
by the rescue crews from a single
small pond some idea is gained of
the colossal numbers of fish about
to perish in the prisons of the Mis-
sissippi this winter.
