The Stratford Club, which has dur
ing the past year made critical study
of Shakespeare's Hamlet and 1.-THE
Tempest" held their annual picnic at
Baldwin Lake last Saturday. The
party, leaving here at $50 with well
filled lunch baskets and in high glee,
arrived at the lake at IL o'clock and
lunch was at once prepared and enjoy
ed by all. After lunch a program of
readings, games, conundrums and quo
tations was presented, and the wit and
wisdom there displayed was such as to
do credit to Shakespeare himself. A
letter was shown from Wilbur Whitney,
former member. The letter, how
ever, was not read because Miss Everett
said some parts of it were ''too touch
ing" and might unsteady the nerves Of
some Of the older members of the club.
The latter part of the afternoon was
spent i'm bathing, boatriding, searching
for wintergreens and fishing until
o'clock, when supper was announced;
after which boat ride by moonlight
and singing many familiar songs closed
the days festivities. Taken altogether
it was pronounced the best picnic the
club had ever had w. /. Benedict,
Joe Berry and MIR. Meach took several
snap shots OF interesting groups.

custom, and after mildly protesting

To people who have looked upon
the Christian Scientists as small and
obscure sect the attendance at the ded-
ication of their new church last Sum
day viii be a surprise. Ten thousand
people participated in the four SER
vices that were held during the day
and many others could not gain adj
mission to the church. Probably a
considerable number of the attendants
were attracted by curiosity, but the
larger proportion were undoubtedly be-
levers in the Christian Science theory.
The disciples of Mrs. Eddy must there
fore be counted upon hereafter rs
forming a large and influential de-
nomination and one which, according
to all accounts, is gathering members
with unprecedented rapidity.

OLD v1oLrNs.
A CarpentePs Passion for ooTleetlnE
Them--IIe Was the FfoneaT.

A ORrpentePs Passion for CoIleetInI
Them-He Was the Pioneer.
/ 1t was about the beginning of the
present century that the crs$A for the
possession of the works of the old Ital-
ian masters set in, and England and
France We'd in the ardcr of the strug-
| gle to obtain them, says Household
Words. At that time many of the
famous CTemonese instruments, and
those belonging to other Italian schools,
had passed into neglect and oblivion,
numbers Of them being scattered about
among Italian villages, in the hands of
Ignorant people, unconscious of their
beauty and worth and incapable Of ade-
quately appreeiating them. It was
Louis Tarisio who acted as pioneer in
this matter. Born of humble parents,
wholly unconnected with the art of
music, he adopted the trade of carpen-
ter, and in his leisure time learned 20
play violin. He possessed no particu-
lar musical talent, but became interest
ed in the construction of his instru-
ment, so that the playing OF it became
at length quite secondary matter
with him. A passion for the collect
ing of violins was aroused in him, and
giving up his former employment, he
travelled far and wide in search of lost
Cremonas., Wandering about from vii
lage to village throughout Italy in the
guise of a peddler, exchanging new
fiddles for old, be became possessed OF
treasures Of the greatest value. He
then made his way to Paris, and sold
them to the best-known dealers in
yiolins of that city. His whole life af-
terward was spent in this fashion, and
he amassed considerable wealth. He
came to love his violins, however, for |
their own sake, apart from the riches |
they brought him, and was often loath |
to part with them. He was eccentric
and solitary in his habits, end at last
died alone in wretched lodgings in Mi
Ian, surrounded by numerous and
priceless specimens Of the instruments
he had loved and lived for. Through
his enthusiasm and that of others who
Followed in his wake, England and
France, during the present century,
have become possessed OF some Of the
finest masterpieces of the old Italian
schools.

desert, but for a few bananas ana
cocoanut palms. They built them
selves a hut, cut roads, planted q. Isstls
prepared copra, and did the best they
could. During six months the turtles.
came ashore to deposit their eggs. and
were caught, eaten or dropped for
stock into tiny lagoon In the middle
OF the island. They caught some small
seabirds, of which Mr.. OLSEN does not
know the name, ate cocoanuts, and for
treat had one of the few fowlssof
pigs which belonged to the natives.
This was not luxurious fare. Luckily
they found among some tools pair
OF scissors, and never, therefore, grew
into Robinson Crusoes. Having no
matches they got fire by rubbing two
sticks together. And on Christmas
day they even managed to get up a
little concert beneath the lovely tropic
moon; having, in fact, found a broken
accordion and patched it up in honor
of the day.
On the 18th Of July, 1897, looking
out over the ocean one morning, a sail
was sighted, which grew bigger and
bigger Greatly excited, OLSEN jump
ed into little boat belonging to the
natives and put off to her. She was a
little government cruiser. Her cap
tain and OLSEN were soon at close
quarters, and, after some debate, the
visitor having but scant provision on
board, agreed to take the crew to Su-
some of their turtle aboard, which
they did, and arrived safely in Fiji,
sailing in another Norwegian bark for
Sydney, where they went aboard the
Orizaba and sailed for England.

Words are undoubtedly useful
things; but, alas! how inadequate are
they to express what is worthiest Of
expression, The best thing in us can
never be spoken or written. We know
not what dictionaries future ages may
invent to remedy this want; we are
certain, at least, the benefactor is not
yet born. Meantime If, in our STUN
bling way, we do justice in any faint
degree to our better aspirations, let US
be thankful.

The motto of every notorious polit-
deal boss is ''rule or ruin" He is in
capable of genuine patriotism, but the
laws of the country in which he prac-
tices restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to- a political party
is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are no laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who, as
members Of a political organization,
find themselves. under his leadership.
So long as he istpermitted to rule in
his own party the sdamage he can do
depends largely upon the power of his
party in public affairs. When he finds
that he can no longer rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
a majority with him in order to rule;
he can ruin sometimes with a minor
ity. Thus, however dangerous the poo
litieal boss is to the people, he is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
as belonging to him. One of the mar
wells of politics in this republic is that
craftsmanship does not, in self-defense,
overthrow the would-be party bosses
before they become strong enough to
think they can either rule or ruin.
