congressman Fear Problem This
Session.
The fight over the army canteen
promises to come to the front again
when congress meets. 1t was abolish
ed at all the posts and the homes Of
the old soldiers several years ago The
temperance societies and the church
influence were responsible for the ac-
ton taken by congress. Nine out of
10 commanders of the posts testified
that it would be better to maintain the
canteen in which the soldiers could
get beer and light wines, but the OPP
position seemed to think it was not
the right sort of business for Uncle
Sam to be engaged in. Most of the
saloon keepers agreed with the re-
ligious and antiwhisky people. The
officers predicted that drunkenness
would greatly increase after the aboli-
ton of the canteen, and all the infor-
nation now being received at the war
department goes to show that they
were right.

VERY OLD VIOLIN.

We have in our possession a violin once the property of Thomas Maury, Esq, Of Albemarie county. Va, a some time granduncle of my Wife's. to whom it has descended. This instrument has long been an object of interest. partly due to its associations and partly to the obscurity surrounding its make and early history. It was presented to MT. Naury while he was a student at Will liam and Mary College, Virginia, about 1743, and was subsequently, used by him while imparting knowledge to Thomas Jefferson, likewise of Albenmarie, and later third President.
 The history of this violin up to the time 1t came into Mir. Maury's hands we do not know. We do know, however, that it was presented to him as "a very old instrument" An instrument of this kind under one hundred years Of age would hardly be elassed as very old, 20 upon which hypothesis the existence of this particular fiddle would date from 1643 anteceding the famous Strads by a score or two of years, and assOciating in the dim past with the instruments of the Amati. One thing is certain, and that is that it is now very, very old. It bears it years well.-Noryal Welsh of San Antonio in New York Sun.

THE LATEST NEW CURE.

Some of the new cures are not very attractive. They include hard work. nasty medicine. etc. etc. But a new cure has just been announced which will commend itself to many. It is a cure for corpulence. and is announced by Cincinnati doctor It is called the rest cure. The medicine man who puts out the new cure is a heavyweight himself He weighed three hundred pounds when he started in on his period of absolute rect, which hitherto has been believed to be conducive to obesi- ty, and when he get through with the rest cure he had dropped fifty pounds.
 Good enough. Now, if somebody will discover and solemnly announce that the rest cure will cure leanness as well as fatness it will add to it's popularity. Then, whether he be fat or lean. father will be able to give a good reason for not working.
