PoTrER's WONDERFUL FIDDLE.
He Claims to Believe That the Lord
Gave to Him the Secret of the old
Masters.
From the Chicago Record.

Masters.
From the Chicago Record.
Kalamazoo. July 22.-This city is fast
becoming noted for its many firm believ-
ers In the principles of Christian science.
There are several propounders of the
doctrine here and converts are being made
to this strange belief on all sides.
Among the believers in this city is
Frank c. Potter. who is well known here.
having been a locomotive engineer on the
Michigan Central road for the last eigh-
teen years. From boyhood, he saws. he
has been firm believed in the doctrine
of the universal mind, having been
taught 1t by his mother. He relates that
for many years he was a great adrnirer
Of violin music and that he had many
times wished that he could be q violin
maker and be able to make a violin like
the old Italian masters were able TO do.
And he made one, he says and the story
of how he did it has been secured from
his own lops. While what he says seems
almost incredible to non-believers in his
doctrine, his truthfulneSs has never been
doubted in anything.
Believing that I might accomplish this
result" said Mr.. Potter, IT put myself
into communication with the Deity in
the almost vain hope that l might gain
the secret of the great masters, for I
believed it could be accomplished. After
repeated efforts, which were fruitless, one
day, while earnestly praying that 1 might
gain some knowledge, it was suddenly
communicated 10 me while sitting on the
floor. at once got some pasteboard and
shears and right there, directed by the
universal mind, I cut out the pattern
for the VIOLIN" handing the correspond
emit a beautifully finished instrument.
No" said he, in reply TO a question.
IT never made a violin before, nor did
I ever see an instrument made by any
Of the old masters.
soon after making It I showed II to
some friends, and was at once question
ed as to where I got the instrument and
replying that I made 1t, they wanted TO
know the source Of the pattern. replied
that its origin was in the universal mind
and told them the incident. L had not un-
til this time discovered the fact that NV
desires had been gratified and that 1 had
turned out an exact model, in sts most
minute details of the instruments made
by that famous Italian master Stradiya-
RUS But later I was privileged to see a
production of this famous master, and
upon comparing mine with II, found the
two to be identical IN every detail.
Being strengthened by this victory
over self I then lenged to be able to mas
ter the secret Of making the varnish which
was used upon these old instruments and
which gave them that tone and finish
which are almost unknown to-day. In this.

cred with roses, vines and other floral
designs.
This produced a pretty effect, and the
bathroom remains in that style to this
day. Cornelius and William K. thought
too gay, too, and they engaged the artist
to cover their glass, as well. Now all the
Vanderbilt houses have bathrooms with
the roses and vines on a ground of ex-
pensive French plate.
1t is said by manufacturers that the
pink thing is the most difficult to pro-
duce, but there are many bathrooms in
New York now tiled in pink and gold.
The dry goods merchants have matched
the thing by producing pink towels, bath
robes, slippers and cap, so that the oc~
cupant and her bath are all in delicate
harmony. The home bath is a luxury
nowadays, indeed.

"He Was the Only One"

Tn" following lines We're written by al
eleven year old boy, Lewis Aston, o
Warren county, brother OF our young
townsInan Mr.. Henry Aston. They ar
printed just as written, even to the punct
nation marks:
Darkness had covered the seaside,
A maiden stood on the beach,
She was waited there by the gorgeous tide
And was far from any mans re tcE.
She knew of Jesus in Heaven,
And knew he was Gods own son,
She thought that he would save her,
But he was the only one.
IS she stood there watching, and Waitin 9
She hoped that the mighty hand,
OF cur loved and blessed Redeemer,
Would take her to better land.
She had heard of the blessed Savior,
And the wOndrOuS things he'd done,
She knew that he would help her.
But he was the only one.
Now all the 'blest little children,
That read this story true,
Think of the blessed Savior,
Who suffered and died for you,
Remember that he is your Father,
And God in Heavens own son.
He will always bless you,
But he is the only one.

LONGING.

The hills slope down the valley, the
streams run down to the sea.
And my heart, my heart, Oh, far one:
sets and strains toward thee.
But only the feet of the mountain are felt
by the rim Of the plain,
And the source and soul of the hurrylng
stream reach not the calling main.
The dawn is sick for the daylight, the
morning yeaInS for the noon,
And the twilight signs for the evening
star and the rising Of the moon.
But the dawn and the daylight never were
seen in the Self-same skies,
And the cleaning dies of its own desire
when the moon and stars arise.
The springtime calls to the summer. "Oh,
mingle your life with mine;
And summer to autumn plainteth low:
Must the harvest be only thine?'
But nightingale goes when swallow comes
ere the leaf in the blossom is fed,
And when the autumn sits on her golden,
sheaye, the reign of the rose Is dead.
And hunger and thirst, and wall and
want, are lost in the empty air,
And the heavenly spirit vainly pines for
the touch of the earthly fair.
And the hills slope down to the valley,
the streams run down to the sea,
And my heart, my heart, Oh, far one,
sets and strains toward thee.

Advertising.

Some people say that advertising is
all matter of luck; that you cannot
tell what advertising is going to do, or
whether or not it is going to pay. This
may be true, but it is very strange that
the man who gives intelligent thought
to his advertising, and does it i'll an
intelligent, earnest, straightforward
way, usually has the luck on his side.
He is lucky in his advertising because
he reduces it to science. Advertis-
