are aptly turned, although not alto

selected at random from his play Isl

admiration of tone experts, and elic-
| tied the praise of critics and audi
ences. This identical Instrument will
be used almost exclusively by the vio-
linfst on his forthcoming tour
through the United States. 1t was
made by Jose Guarnerius del Jesu in
Cremona, Italy, in the year 171s, and
at different times has been owned by
eminent soloists. 1t is second to no
violin Of this make in existence, and
/ scarcely is inferior to any of the ia
nous "Strads."
It not infrequently happens that
distinguished violinists do themselves
an injustice and to a large extent null
lily their performances by playing in
ferior violins; that is. instruments of
inadequate tone. 1t is related of Pag-
amin that, when at the zenith of his
powers, he gave a concert in Flor
ence, Italy, and played a very poor
violin, an accident having rendered
hors de combat his own Guarnerius.
He came perilously near making a
failure owing to the weak tone of the
violin he was forced to play A
wealthy amateur, hearing of the en-
barrassment of the Italian, placed at
his disposal a superb Stradivarius
which had been the property of Tar
TIM Paganini redeemed himself
educing from this noble instrument a
tone that ravished his audience. At
the close of the concert the noblenan
who owned the 'Strad" approached
This violin is yours. Never again
shall be guilty of the proclamation of
playing it."
Unlike many solo violinists Ysaye
is not averse to playing a new violin,
provided its tone meet his exacting re-
quirements. The crankiness of vir-
tuosi regarding old violins is proverb-
ial. They estimate the value of
violin by it's antiquity as disclosed by
the label it contains. and do not take
into account its tonal deficiencies
They have no respect for any violin
ate and blindly worship the creations
of the old masters of Brescia and Gre
mona, and place a fabulous monetry
value upon them. Most of the great
violiniSts have violent prejudice
against modern violins, discarding and
cOndemning them without a hearing
Not SO with Ysaye. While he, too,
venerates the Brescian and Cremonese
masterpieces. he accords a proper
need of praise to the great Iuthiers
now living. He contends that tone is
the sine qua non of any musical in
strument; that a new violin with a
GOOD tone is preferable to an old violin
with poor tone. This was illustrated
not long ago. There was placed in.
the hands of Ysaye a COMPARATIVELY
new violin, a faithful copy of a cele-
nrated Guarnerius In appearance the
imitation so closely resembled the
original that several experts were de-
ceived. When the violinist played the
new world production, testing it with
Painstaklng severity, the experts were
st1lI more deceived. They acuuiesced
with Ysaye in the opinion that the
new violin was equal in all regards
TO the best Stradivarius or Guarnerius
IN existence. 1t is likely that this
identical violin will be PLAYED nv Ysave

One of the favorite stories of Robert
B. Manten is about a man who, accom-
panied by his little boy, had occasion
to cross a lot where a good-sized goat
was feeding. The father was a Chris

of Mrs. Eddy's works in his pocket. AS
they approached the goat the boy show

MUSICAL NOTES.

To violinists, fiddle fanciers, and
connoisseurs, the violin which a great
artist plays is second in importance
only to the artist himself. When it
is announced that some celebrated
vioIinist is coming to this country, the
first question asked by violinists and
fiddle cranks is. What violin will he
use?'
Naturally. therefore. is the inquiry
made, what violin will Ysaye play

son ?"
When the great Belgian last toured
this country his violin almost divided
honors with him. Its brilliant, pene-
rating yet mellow tone excited the

in total to $4,000. There are 800 Odd
Fellows lodges in the state, but only
about half that number will be on the
list.
This is the first move in the fight
which is to be made against Troutman
& Stone. the well known Topeka law
yers, for recovery of the money which
was put into the estate used for a
time as home for orphans of Kansas
Odd Fellows. Troutman & Stone
bought the deed to the property from
Mrs. Martinelli. a relative of the man
who decided the property to the Odd
Fellows in trust Then the order be-

to get the money spent in improving
the place, for which the Odd Fellows
say they spent almost $4,000. This
sum was subscribed by the various
lodges over the state, and each one
which gave, will now institute a sepa-
rate suit.
Grand Master ALBANIAN was only
elevated to his present position at the
recent meeting of the grand lodge in

which Nat Goodwin played the charac-

This inspired one man with the idea
of seeing what Punch had ever printed
that would strike his countrymen as

but he went through all the files and
discovered about four jokes. The prize
one in his estimation was this:
