Since her sixth year Olga Stoeb has been intended as a concert plan Iste. At that time she and her father were attending the concert of a youth ful prodigy, Paloma Schiass, and while there little Olga was seized with the desire to become a great artiste. She told her father about, it; the mat ter was discussed at home, and It was then decided by the parents that ev- erythlng which would help toward an eventual bucccbs Bbould be done. The little girl was made to understand that piano plnylng wns a very serious un dertaking, and only to lie mastered by many years of the most earnest ap plication. Since that time the early morning hours have been set aside for piano practice, to when she has do- voted four hours dally, mnkng 18,000 hours practice. She wnB taken from the public schools on this account, nnd, barring two years Bpeclal work ns a day pupil In a girls' school, Miss Stceb has always had private tutors to guide her studios. In addition to her practice, her father has devoted from one to two hours each day to general musical Instruction, and to looking after the phrasing and Inter pretation of the workB In hand. He also attended every piano lesson that MIsb Olga had, while there taking par ticular notice of her Instructions nnd later seeing to It that the child did exactly as she was told. The little girl was always a most faithful work er, and, Instead of having to compel her to practice, It was necessary to lock the piano when the time was up, to keep her away from the instrument However, Bhe would never practice on Sunday, always reserving this day for Sabbath school and a walk in the woods with her father and sisters, to whom she Is very devoted. MIsb Steeb, at the age of 19, had a memorized repertoire of 1100 standard compositions, the greatest of any known musician, any one of which she Is able to play In concert on two hours' notice. llss Steeb will be heard at the ar mory on Friday night, September 27, having been engaged as the special extra attraction for the series of en tertainments which will be given In Salem by Dr. H. C. Epley. The Implicit confidence that ninny people have In Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Is founded on their experience in the use of that remedy nnd their knowledge of the many remarkable cures of colic, diarrhoea nnd dysentery that It has sffected.
