ers of the respective Hobbies classed
the Joneses as too honest to be
bought, too stubborn to be argued
with and too Independent to be threat

arrived Six times had the question
come up in one form or another, and
six times the vote had been tie.
At last, the end of his rope in sight,
Jake Graham, head of the Merger
lobby, sailed forth to seek Henry
Jones. The interview was private
and protracted, and the only report of

Jones to his brother, Luther, that

One envelope was almost the dupli-

Next day came another test vote
upon the Merger bill, and upon each

Jake Graham called a conference OF
his lieutenants an hour before the
house went into session. With them
he canvassed every vote, made sure
that every man would stick added
the name Of Henry Jones and saw in
| his minds eye that majority of one
as big as one hundred.
But he could not understand the
mysterious citation that possessed
General Long.
That worthy trusted no subordi-
mates. When spy brought news
from the camp of the enemy that
they were expecting to welcome de-
serter from the Ants the General
asked questions of no one but him
self Finally he took from an inner
pocket his famous little red notebook,
erased a name from a list the book
contained, added the name of Luther
Jones and grinned. that same, infre-
quent grin feared hy district school
teachers forty years ago.
At the appointed hour came the
final call of the roll. Both sides stood
firm until the last counties were
reached and still there was no change
Now but two names. One one side
of the speaker sat Graham, alert,
erect, expectant. On the other side
lounged Long, with pursed mouth and
eyes half closed.

leaned over to Long and held out his
hand. Its all over now, Peter, but

ear, ''but I've got Jones'"
Graham made mighty leap
towards that corner of the hall where
sat Luther Jones, but he was too late.

tom constructed with a projecting lip

tachment is securely held against the
broom, the bottom of the dustpan being
held against the side of the broom
and the broom used in the ordinary
manner. When the dirt being swept
up is collected at some point the broom
is turned around, so as to enable the
dustpan to descend to the floor in such
a way as shown in the illustration. The
mouth of the dustpan is then disposed
toward the broom and on the opposite
side Of the dirt, which is then swept

A ROTARY FIDDLE BOW,

Does Away with OId-Time Scrapina
and is Big Improvement.
A wonderful advance has just lately
been made in violin playing by the
invention of the so-caled rotary fid-
die bow" which invention is the prod
uct Of the brain Of Tronjhem Qualm-
quist, Of Lesueur, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
1t isn't a bow at ALL but a wheel
about eight inches in diameter. con
structed Of rawhide and made of re-
volve by pedal and flexible shaft in
the same manner that a dentist runs
his drills and other tooth-boring con-
trivances.
Every one realizes that the great
drawback to violin music is the con-
slant seesaw back and forth which
the player is compelled to indulge in
in order to produce the music. He
riddles" slowly when he wants a
slow tune and saws with lightning
like rapidity when the exigencies Of
the music make him hurry, and this
waving to and fro Of his elbow some
times detracts in slight degree from
the proper SOlemnity Of the occasion.
But with this new cOntrivance no
see-sawing is necessary. The violin
is held in the usual position and the
wheel held in the other hand, wnen
brought into contact with the violin
strings, produces the musical vibra-
tons by whirling its primeter across
the chords. The wheel is so geared
that it can be made to run ten times
as fast as the man can draw a bow
and so regulated with q small brake.
worked with the fingers, that the
speed can be instantly changed from
fast to slow or the other way, as de-
sired. 1t can be made to touch one
string only, or more than one, ex-
actly as bow is used, and by hold
ing it erect or tipping it to one side
the full breadth Of the edge Of the
wheel is brought in contact with the
strings OF only the sharp edge of the
perimeter. With bow the same tone
can be prolonged for only the length
of time that the musician is drawing
his hand one full length, but no such
restriction is necessary when the
wheel is used and the musician may
dwell on one note as long as he de-
sires and shade off into other notes
without the stop or jerk necessary
when he uses a bow.
The improvement is marvellous and
is. sure to come into general use. 1t
is not patented, and will not be, for
Mr.. Qualmquist says that he would
as soon think Of making people pay
for the air they breathe as to restrict
them in any way regarding musical
