aWhere did you come from, baby dearf
Out ofthe everywhere into the here.
Where did you get your eyes so bluef
Out ofthe sky as I came through.
What makea the light in them sparkle
Bone of the starry spikes let In.
Where did you get that little tearf

The fact Is as sad as it is true that the
baby finds the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At
the first 1t "has no language but q cry"
Its n necessity Is but to give express
sion to it's suffering, and for that a tear
s%ufices.
The mother who stoops in anguish
over the wailing child would do any
thing to ease its suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done so much for her child Is past. She
did not realize hat In those anxious
nervous days when she shrank from the
ordeal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood Is soothed
and made easy for those who use DIR.

violin was sent to his widow. She, little
realizing its value, presented it to a
negro servant who had an ear for music,
time heard around the plantation near
New Orleans. This negro was named
Bruce, and in 1864 he learned of the eman-
cipation act and fled to the North, going
to the then small town OF Chicago, where

with him. 1t was then in very neglect

value. Some of its parts were loose
small pieces of cigar boxes having been
glued TO the inner portion to hold the
whole together, and the neck was fastened
with an old iron screw.
In 1885 Prof. Weber was In Culpeper
Va, and while there was informed that
one OF the walters at the hotel had a
fiddle" which needed repairing. He sent
for the man and asked about the instru-

old Though musician, Weber laid no
claim to being a connoisseur of violins,
but when he saw the disgraceful shape in
which the fiddle" had fallen his natural
instinct led him to wish to have II re-
paired, and he offered the negro s. for it,
thinking it worth at least that sum, and

note that a celebrated player has said
that a Giuseppe del Gesu is much more
difficult to find than a Stradivarius. His
output, compared with that of Stradi-
varius. was as one to six; his life was
shorter, his working days more erratic,
but he is placed on a level with the i'm
mortal Antonio by those who understand
how to handle the instrument, and his
wares have already reached a figure of
five thousand dollars and more.
The instrument with which this story
has to deal made it's advent into this
country in 1904, it being then the proper

OF some renown at that period. Upon
his arrival in America he accepted a posi-
tion in a theatre in the city of New Or
leans, where he soon became the leader
of the orchestra, and at his death the
violin became the property of his son.
At the outbreak of the civil war this son
enlisted in the Confederate Army. He
mentioned his instrument TO the leader of
the band of the First Virginia Regiment,
and was asked to send for it. This he
did, and the sequel was that it was played
at the inauguration OF Jefferson Davis as
President of the confederacy.

violin in exchange the negro made the
trade. Weber brought the violin to Wash
ington for repairs. and in his shop took
it apart. On the inside was the accumu-
lated dirt of ages. This he scraped OIL,

His establishment can scarcely be mag
ined on learning that he had become the
possessor of a violin made by the son OF
the famous Andreas Guarnerius, who died
in 1895. leaving as heritage to his son
no small portion of his own marvellous
skill. The label was not the only indi-
cation that his treasure was a genuine
antique. In the first place the keyholes
had all been pushed" one certain indica-
ton OF extreme age; the scroll had been
dovetailed to new Eeck, and the Won
derful tone that was brought forth when
the bow was drawn across the strings
was greater assurance of its regal pedi-
gree than all else.
Beyond its ownership by Bonani, Prof.
Weber has not attempted to trace It's
genealogy: but, with these comparatively
rare instruments, it is not unlikely that
complete thread of It's history could be
secured were the time and trouble taken.
The owner has had numerous fatter1ns
oilers for his treasure, but has declined
them all, holding it almost priceless.
