A Incident Of the Childhood Of the
$.&, Master Ole Bull.
Ole Bull, the great violinist, was born
with 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. <.>s g.
It 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.
y my father wanted me to be a minis
ter" said he in telling the story many
years after. "and I thought must do
as he wished. But when was eight
years old he bought me new violin
and arranged to have me study under

ought to know a 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 40!
I pinched the strings just little with
my fingers, and it smiled at me more

looked att. It said to me it would be
pleased to have me try it across the
strings. So I did try it just very,
very little, and 1t did play 50 softly.

body asleep, and the next minute felt
my fathers whip across my shoulders.
Ny little red violin dropped on the floor
and was broken. I did weep very much
for it, but it did no good. They did
have q doctor to it the next day, but it
never recovered its health" - Detroit

TRAFFIC. IN SLAVES.

In his article on 1.-The Slave Market

this terrible traffic, which goes on ap-
proved by the Moroccan government
He describes the beginning of the sale
as follows: '
] 'The crowd at the entrance parts to
the right and left to admit twelve
grave men wearing white turbans and
jellabias. They are the delals, or auc-
toneers, and the sale is about to begin.
SLOWLY and impressively the delals
advance in q line to the center Of the
slave market, almost up to the arcade
where the wealthy. buyers sit ex-
pectant. Then the head auctoneer
lifts up his voice. and-oh. hideous
mockery Of 1t all!--he prays.
Now each delal has his people sort
"a out, and the procession begins. Fol.
lowed by his bargains, he marches
round and round the market, and un-
Aerstand why the dust was laid be-
fore the procession commenced. Some
ef the slaves are absolutely free from
emotion of any sort. They move round
as stolidly as the blindfolded horses
that work the water wheels in gardens
beyond the town. Others feel their
position.

young and pretty woman who has not

Garland, Texas News. has written
letter of congratulations to the
manufacturers of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years
ago when our first child was baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have FIVE
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdose. con-
gratulate you upon the success Of your
remedy. " For sale by all dealers.

October, November and December
have been characterized by light snow
fall throughout the mountain dis
tricts and taken as whole the pre-
cipitation has been lighter than for
like period in four years. In few
localities the snowfall has been about
the same as last year and near the av
erage, or normal amount. while in
others. notably the upper watershed
of the Rio Grande and the south
western watersheds, the season thus
far has been the dIiest in great
many years. Doubtless later snow
falls, as usual, will be the source Of
supply during the first half of the ir-
