JfeJ tfie "A Personal Tribute to Caruso Crossing the ocean a few years ago with the Master of Song, for whom the world mourns, we had a pleasant voyage Intercourse, we sat at tnc table and much oi Caruso's time was spent with his pencil. He was quite an artist and he drew pictures of the children and of his friends and took great delight in showing them around. His voice was out of commission at -'the time. The marvelous uprising of the people to do honor to the Singer of Songs is a sign that the world (has not gone entirely mad (Some people believe that sensible to the value of human life. The honors paid to Caruso in his own land, and hv its nobility, show how deeply the people value ,music and its teachers. f( Set the world to singing and we will forget the war. " Some of us love the noonday type of men who strike twelve with things they do and add to the brightness and the sunshine. , Very few of us care much for the twilight people that live in the shadows. j It is well to remember Caruso as a hard worker. Theodore Roosevelt used to say of himself, that there were lots of men smarter than he, but that he 'worked hard at everything he did. Almost every human being has some natural gift and is very much nearer than he thinks to the staircase of success, if he would only take the first step and keep on until he got to the top.
