THE BROKEN VIOLIN.
An Incident of the Childhood OF the
Master Ole Bull.

Master ole Bull.
Ole Bull, the great violinist, was born
with a genius for music. To him the
swaying of bluebells, the wind and
rain and waterfalls, the music of birds
and bees-all these were the voices Of
nature, and he tried TO reproduce them
ON his violin.
1t is said that the musicians first
violin was given him by an uncle when
he was but four years old, and his de-
light at the present knew no bounds.
"NIy father wanted me TO be minis
ter" said he in telling the story many
years after, land thought must do
as he wished. But when | was eight
years old he bought me new violin
and arranged to have me study under
a teacher, for he said, "a minister
ought to know q little about music
That night could not sleep. rose
In the night to get peep at the pre-
cious violin. 1t was so red, and the
pretty pearl screws did smile at me So!
| pinched the strings just little with
my fingers, and it smiled at me more
and more. took up the bow and
looked ut 1t. 1t said to me it would be
pleased to have me try 1t across the
strings. So l did try 1t just very,
very little, and it did play so softly. |
forgot that 1t was midnight and every
body asleep. and the next minute ! felt
my fathers whip across my shoulders
My little red violin dropped on the floor
and was broken. did weep very much
for it, but 1t did no good. They did
have q doctor to it the next day, but II
never recovered its health" - Detroit

Good School Assured.

AS n result of the visit of the coun-
tv school board here last week, when
a conference was held with Mr.. Gil
bert, Crescent City is assured OF a
school which will rank second to
none in the state.
Mr.. Gilbert has determined to vest
the title to the new school property
in the school board, reserving the
lower floor, or auditorium, for use OF
the Southfield Bible conference,
which is to meet annually. This as
sures the cooperation of the state and
county in building up the school.
Mr.. Gilbert has generously offered
to assist the board in bearing the eX-
nense of the school to the extent OF
| a 900 per year. This amount, with
funds secured through the board OF
education, will give the school $2,O5o
for teachers ms soon as a senior hlgh
school can be established. With our
present junior high school it would
give us $l.Sl0.
MIR. Gilbert will fit the school out
in first-class order, then turn the
property over to the board.
The members of the BOARD are louo
in their praise of Mr.. Gilbert's gene
rosity. 1t is without PRECEDENT IL

TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER
Perro Visits Aberdeen Friday and SATURDAY.
Crew IS Entertained.

The torpedo boat destroyer Perry ar
rived Friday afternoon, and was wei
coined by the blowing of whistles by
The various mills.
Immediately on arrival the reception
committee appointed by the chamber of
commerce, accompanied by several of
our business men and newspaper re.
porfors boarded her, and extended to
the officers and crew the usual courtesies
given on such occasions. The officers
were advised of the preparations made
Tor their entertainment while in the
city, after which the officer in command
notified the committee that while the
vessei was in port she would be open for
inspection by our citizens from a. m.
to sundown of each day. This is de.
parture from the usual custom, as this
class OF vessels will receive visitors only
in the afternoon until o'clock.
Messrs. and Mesdames M. r. Sher.
wood, W. H. Wood and G. Antrim en-.
tertained the officers at dinner, in the
Washington hotel, and in the evening
the entertainment committee of the
cha. Der OF commerce, assisted by the
local lodge of Elks, rendered them ball
and banquet. On Saturday afternoon
}. Lindstrom, Of the Lind3trom Shin
Building company, took them around
the city.
There are thirty of this class of vessels
in the American navy, of which the
Ferry is one of the best. She is 245 feet
on the keel, has 90 feet beam, has a
draft OF feet at the stern, and is driven
by 5000 horse power engines. She is
built entirely of three-eighth inch steel
plates, and is a series of bulkheads which
answer the double purpose of strengthen
ing her and keeping her from sinking if
she should be penetrated under the
water line. Her usual rate of speed in
cruising is Is knots, but when in active
service her speed is % knots.
The armament consists of two torpedo
tubes, six 6-pound and two 3.inch guns.
all of which are rapid firing. Her full
complement of men is 63, most of which
are either engineers or fremen. She is
commanded by Lieutenant Com lnander
,Scofield and two junior officers, w.
Brown and s. M. Robertson.
The Perry left for Hoquiam alta p. m.
SATURDAY., where she will lay until Tues.
day morning, when she goes to Cos.
mopolis, and from there she will proceed
to Port Angeles, on the Straits OF Fuca,
for target practice.
