wHlrTLEs OUT RIDDLES.
Remarkable Instruments Made by a
NEGRO With Crude Tools.

! Philadelphia North American: Pos
sessed of no musical training, and With
Ia penchant for nothing except the
whiting of wood, Thomas Edwards,
ia young negro of the west end of this
town, is attracting considerable atten-
ltion.
Many years ago Edwards was given
THE name of Thomas the Whittier"
He had an uncomfortable desire to
,whittle into some tangible form or Gre
alton absolutely every piece of wood
he happened across The name at
'tached itself 10 him and still remains
with him, but he is on fair way to
success now and does not mind it.
His turn in fortune came about a
year ago, when he found a piece of
curly maple two inches In thickness.
This he sawed into lengths placed the
pieces in the attic that they might be
properly seasoned, and when 1T had at
tanned the requisite dr$ness he made
his first violin.
His were not the tools of the skilled
violin maker. He was possessed of a
pocket knife, with which he cut tho
wood. From broken window pane
he took q piece of glass to scrape, ans,
with piece of sandpaper to smooth
his work, he accomplished a fair meas
ure of success.
There is q vast amount OF labor in
connection With the making of one OF
his instruments, as the swells and
curves are not pressed, but are cut
from the solid wood. This makes great
his achievement.
Musicians have tested his volins for
the technical false chord, but it is alb
sent The yiolins are pronounced mar

CHATTER NIN.

THE EPISODE OF Hollis TAVERN
North Castle was hardly village in
1880, for 1t consisted of but cluster
OF houses along one road. Yet did it
boast Il general supply store, and was
proud in the possession o! house for
travellers known rs ilolts Tavern.
This house was no different perhaps
from any other in the town, except
that perhaps 1T was a bit larger and
that 1t had a sign swinging before the
main door. Twas Older, too. than many
of the other habitations in the village.
and the slightly projecting upper
stories witnessed that IL had been
built when the fear OF Indians had
been greater than the fear of tories to-
day. This projection of the upper
story was not more than foot, but If,
as you entered by the front door. you
cast look upward, there you might
see holes at regular intervals which
pierced the small projection. They
were stuffed now with paper to keep
out the cold; but there had been time
when our fathers had stood i'll the up
per chambers and fired good shots
through these same openings, sending
many treacherous Indian to his own
happy or unhappy hunting ground.
Within, the house consisted, on
the ground floor, of hall rum
ming through 10 the back. On
either side were moderately large
rooms, and at the back of the
hall was small fight of steps going

CORN coRNEREp.

The following. from the New York
American. is a very attractive discus
sion Of the corner which was effected
in Chicago last week by the Gates and
other multi-millionaires.
millionaires.
When the world was not 50 gentle
and civilized as it is, a man who cor
nored the food supply, or who put up
the price Of grain, or created an arti-
fetal scarcity in the markets, was
nailed by the ears to the church door
and the people were encouraged to
gather and add TO the culprit's appre.
citation OF the cnormity Of his offense
by remarks that they considered per.
tinent TO the occasion.
But even had he lived in that ruder
day. Mr.. John W. Gates would not
have been in danger as to his ears,
for though he attempted to corner
corn and ran the price mp so high, that
all the corn in the country sought Chi.
cago as a market. the price Of break
fast cereal and the -four for muffns
has not seriously changed
There have been many years when
the corn crop was shorter than it was
last year, or will be in 1902, and corn
| did not go tO 9Oc.
The Gates movement is simply a co.
lossal gamble. and whether it wins
$lOO0oO for him or loses a million or
two really makes no grave difference
TO Mr. Gates He has plenty more mil.
! lions.
The particular moral to be drawn
from the corn episode is that a game
in which the Cafes make the limit and
deal the cords is no pastme for the
ordinary citizen who works for his
money and husbands II as a provision
for his old age, or for his wife and
children.
II the Gates pool lost money in the
deal it amounts 10 little more than a
J changing Of figures ON bankers
books. but the losses OF the small
gambler. who trailed after the mag
mates, are real His investment is
gone, he played with real money. and
not with counters and the rockettnp
and collapse of corn means In his case
that the little house that was 10 have
been built will have 10 wait with a
great probability that Il may never go
up. that the boy will not have the ox
ira years schooling, and that the girl
must learn a trade, and prepare Ia

the time comes
That is the horror and pathos OF
these spectacular movements on

The argument that no man CANDLES

equally well applied TO faro or ron
