The Prodigy.

He was a youthful prodigy. Men traveled far to see the lad. The wonder of the age was he. His talents made his parents glad. He traveled up and down the land And gained renown and won applause. And splendid things his parents planned All for the wonder that he was. How often pride is swept away! He was a marvel years ago. w , A prodigy in youth; today He warbles in a ten cent show! —Chicago Record-Herald.
