QUITE A CONTINUANCE.
An East Side Boy Plays Cornet and
Violin at Same Time.

There is young man on the East
side, who lives in what is called the
Old Fort, who is something of Il genius
His name is Joseph l.. Rollins and he
has arranged Il contrivance by which
he plays the cOrnet and violin at the
same time. More than this, young
Rollins. who by the way is but IS years
Old has lost all the fingers on his right
hand. which would seem to make the
problem a still more difficult one.
Rollins has for a long time had the
idea of making some sort of a contriv-
ance by which he could play the two
instruments. and, last March, COM
pleted somewhat crude apparatus o,
his own construction by which he has
accomplished the seemingly difficult
feat.
The cornct is placed on a block of
wood, on which it sits firmly by means
of grooves cut to hold different parts
Of the horn. The block of wood is sup
ported by three metal legs very similar
to those in the tripod of an ordinary
camera. These can be adjusted to any
height according to the kind of chair
in which the player is sitting when
playing his Instruments.
Perhaps the most ingenious part of
the contrivance is the working of the
valves of the cornet. Ordinary cord
runs from little contrivance above the
valves through a sort Of pulley down to
his feet, where it is attached to pedals
similar to those Of a piano, and it is by
the use of his feet on these pedals that
he works the valve Of the cornet.
He holds the violin similar to the
ordinary violinist. except that he is
obliged to hold it down somewhat lower
in order not to interfere with his
position at the cornet. He is able to
hold his bow by the thumb and what
remains of his forefnger.
Young Rollins does not play classic
music. but plays songs and dance
music very nicely, playing entirely by
ear. He has worked something over a
year on his scheme before getting it
into practicabl form. and naturally
focs proud of his accomplishment. He
is anxious to secure a position with n
vaudeville show sometime. He is also
learning to walk a tight rope. as he be-
lieves this will help him to position
of the kind he wishes and says he is
making good progress in this depart
ment

Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account Of

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak OF it in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general Undressing It
makes the scalp feel fresh and 1t allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff. as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out. and later badness; in killing It.
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair Dress
