HOW I BEGAN..

[RY HARRY LAUDER IN THE EVENING" NEWB]

How did I begin? you ask. It would be difficult for me to tell you. But a little story may illtistrato better than I can explain just how I happened to become a-well, what 1 am. A week or two ago was leaving,the stage door of the Unm- berwell Palace, when a man came up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, and int broad Scotch, Man, remarked Hairry, tell you how it is! It's the same wi yon as wi' Rabbie Burns and Robert the Bruce a bloomin' gift!"

So, in a sense, I never really began uc all. It"whatever it may be-has beer in me all along, and was bound to conie out. However, I suppose you want ine to give you some idea of how I "fostered" my "gifts" and forged my way to auCCCES.

awa

As a boy I was aurdiately food of "hearin my ain voice. As far back as I can remember I was always liltin' at some melody or ether, and 1 was fonder of burning things "oot, o'. mon heid than any tune I picked up in the usual way. My arst melody was com posed in honour of a great big fat pig that belonged to-n gardener in Portobello, near Edinburgh, where I was born forty- three years ago.

1. would not be more than eight or nine years old at the time, and my greatest joy was to go along, as often as I could, and watch the muckle in its crae at the end of the gar- sco dener's yard. How I loved her She was, to my mind, the finest living thing in the world, and 1 remembered "com- posing a verse in honour of her. which bogan;

Yer a great big bonny, bonny 506,

In fact, yer near as big's a coo." This exquisite versi I set to a melody of my own and I can recollect lying over the side of the crae "watching my favourite and huinming away at my non- sensical rhyme..

WORKING IN A FLAX-MILL.

My father died, when I was still a wee boy, and my mother removed with her large family to Arbroath, in Forfarshire, where I was set to work in the flax-mille as a half-timer. This means one day at school and the other in the mill. Even the roar of the machinery could not stop me singing and versifying, but mind, I'm tellin' ye. I had to sing "gey lood ** to hear myself in the busy mill

One day I was told that a touring con- cert party were giving **An amateur night, and were offering prizes for the best songs sung by local boys and girls. I decided to enter. I was a very pale and shy little Harry Lander that tremblingly went on the stage to sing a song full of the most pathetic sentiment about the joys of home and the glories of the fire- side and the beauty of obedience to father and mother or something like that. But I went through it boldly, and I can hear to this day the applause with which my effort was greeted. More to the point- I won first prize in my section-a massive watch. This watch I would not have parted with for my life-not even when a boy offered me a lop-cared rabbit for it and I have it to this day.

When we removed to Lanarkshire T entered the pits as a miner. The Scottish miners in my time were a jolly lot of chaps, and many of them were very fond of singing. At piece time a crowd of us used to assemble at the top of the “cowsey brae” down below, and shout all sorts of popular songs, such as " After the Ball and Maggie Murphy's Home," and I suppose it was because I shouted loutier than any of them that I got the reputation of having a great voice."

Aly reputation soon grew leally, and I nade secret resolve to leave the wine as quickly as ever I could. My first real professional booking was for a New Year's week in Greenock Town Hall. I got 3 for the week, singing from four to six songs a performance, and I thought I was a made man. (By this time I was married to Nance Vallance, the bonniest wee lassie in Hamilton, and weren't we both delighted when this engagement came along!) I don't remember all the songs I sang thir week but one of them was a grotesque character song, and for a long time i was very popular wherever I wem. It began something like this:

Twig auld Tour-a-laddie,

Don't he look iminense?

His watch and chain are no' his ain

His clues cost eighteen pence,

In cuffs and collar shabby, O'mashers be's the daddy, Haud yer breath, stand aside An let pass Toor-a-laddie.

REGULARITY OF THE BOWELS

The First Line of Defence against III-Health.

Only about one man or woman in a hundred is perfectly healthy. The other 29 have some digestive trouble, and perhaps more than 50 per cent of these could trace their trouble to that prevalent evil constipation. Its a simple thing of itself, but like many simple things, it may grow and become complicated. Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of the sickness of women. Nature often requires a little assistarice, and if this assistance is given at the first indication much distress and suffering may be averted. To maintain a healthy system the bowels. should operate at least once every 24 hours. This is one of Nature's wise provisions which is too often ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women and children are the greatest offenders, but why such should be the case is a problem to be solved: Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a remedy which, taken at the first indication, assist Nature to restore the system to health and strength, and avert the development of disease. Every ailment is the effort of Nature to get rid of some impurity in the system, and the object of medical treatment is to assist Nature in doing Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills do this surely and thoroughly. To overcome constipation take one to four Pills regularly until the Bowels move daily, and are restored to healthy action.

We visited perhaps forty different towns in the course of six weeks, and I can tell you it was a heavenly trip for a poor rainer who had never had more than a week's loved the full holiday all his life.
