AN EIGHT YEAR
OLD vIOLIN|S7

| BOSTON.-Among the young stu
dents of the New England Conserva-
/ tory of Music who have been heard
in recitals during the season, none
have attracted the same attention as
Master Irwin Clement Robertson, vio-
linist, and who might justly be termed
''the boy master"
Entering the conservatory last Oc-
tober, in the past eight months Master
Robertson has established a record
never before equaled in the violin de-
partment by accomplishing in that
time what it takes the average pupil
from one and one-half to two years
to do.
Though s years old only, his play
ing Is characterized with finish and
fidelity to correctness that is remark
able, while his method of tone pro-
duction would do credit to one many
years his senior. In three lessons he
perfected the art Of playing the bound
ing staccato. which is one of the more
difficult tasks of violin study.
When years old. signs Of musical
ability were evident in his being able
to play simple compositions on the
piano. He had never studied until
last year. when he became a pupil of
Mr.. Carl Pierce at the conservatory.
He has played at several recitals, and
most promising future seems in
store for him, judging by the manner
in which he has advanced
Master Robertson is the son Of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. Clement Robertson of VIC
tor, Idaho, his father being a promi-
nent business man OF that place.

WHAT NEXT.

When will the craze for NONSENSE
cal legislation reach the limit o,
folly and the pendulum begin IL
swing once more toward reason
This mania for regulating the uni
verse by laws restricting, regulat
ling, controlling, debating, exact
ling, prohibitingor compelling this
that and the other in the matter OF
all private business and individual
affairs, as we'll as of the winds,
the tides and the seasons, appears
to be affecting the reason Of men
who were supposed to be among
the safe and sane. This legislative
craze has run to the point where
emotional makers, following
in the fantastic footsteps of the
imperious Roosevelt, want to die
tate what men men shall eat, drink,
wear and read.
A committee of three Senators
and three Representatives has re,
ported bill which dictates to the
newspaper publishers Of the coun
try the kind, class, character and
size of newspapers they shall print,
how much fiction they shall con
tain, what percentage Of advertis
ing, the size Of the pages, the form
of makeup, and other require
ments equally as impossible and
idiotic. 1t should be entitled, "A
bill for the restriction and repres
sion of newspapers, the penaliza-
ton of publishers and the estab-
lishment Of Government censor
ship of newspapers. Russian au
tocracy never devised a measure
more at variance with the spirit Of
liberty. With this bill as a law,
the freedom Of the press would be-
come a mere tradition.

Little Margaret Isabella, the daugh-
ter OF J. NJ. and Wilma Chatham
Massengill, was born Nov. 30, 1902.
On the first day Of February, 1907, she
was merrily skipping about and play
ing with little cousin at the home
Of her grandparents in Obion County,
Tenn, when suddenly the children
found their uncle's gun Before any
Of the family could reach them the
little boy had thoughtlessly and inno-
Gently pulled the trigger and Margaret
was ushered into eternity.
Margaret was asweet child-bright,
beautiful and affectionate. Her con-
Fersation was quite frequent upon
Things connected with the Sabbath
school or the glories and beauties of
Heaven. Her grandmother had at
times a kind Of presentiment that
she would never live to be grown, but
she never imagined that at the early
age Of four years and two months the
little soul would take its fight TO the
glory land She is gone so soon, and
yet the memory of that short sweet
life may work wonderfully for good in
the lives of those who knew her. Let
us cherish Che words of the Master
who said, ''Of such is the kingdom Of
Heaven. !"
Her funeral was conducted by Rev.
IS. f. Wynn on Saturday, Feb. 2, and
her body tenderly laid to rest in Shady
Grove Cemetery, the play ground OF
her parents in days gone by. May the
Holy Spirit bless her memory.

DEEP WATERWAYS.

----e 49, ttHAt19 - ACWA4 t1At NN
clared himself an opponent of the
deep water channel from the lakes
to the Gulf. The Iowa Represent
alive insists that the days of water
transportation are over, and that
a double-tracked railway is far su
perior to any deep waterway. He
claims, too, tn at already many
millions have been expended upon
rivers with but little permanent
benefit to their navigation.
The comparative merits of rail
ways with those of deep water
channels are beside the present
Issue. The question is not whether
the Government will construct a
railway, bat whether the expense
incident to the construction of a
deep channel from the lakes to the
Gulf is justified by the advantages
which such a channel offers to the
greatest wealth producing section
of the country. We think there
can be only one answer to that
question; for though present con-
ditions may not show a freight
tonnage commensurate with the
estimated cost Of the work; still,
in the light Of the wonderful in
crease of lake tonnage when it was
given an outlet to the Atlantic,
there can be no doubt that deep
channel to the Gulf would bring
about a like increase of Missis
sippi River tonnage.
In calling up past river appro-
priations and directing attention
to the waste which has been char
acteristic of the disposition of
these funds, Mr.. Hepburn really
gives a sound reason for undertake
ing, once and for all, a work which
calls for better, wiser and more
enduring efforts in this respect.
The penny wise and pound foolish
spirit is nowhere better illustrated
than in niggardly measlres at
tempting the control of the forces
of nature. Leyiathan may not be
drawn out with a hook; nor may
the Mississippi be curbed with
puny patches of stone and willow.
Rearing levees is a good thing;
but rearing levees aided with a
deep channel is much better. And
if this deep channel makes sea-
ports of the cities along its banks
there is a certain return for all
expenditures, W lille under the
present system Of dumping money
into the river it is all expense, no
direct return and only a question
of time ere the river takes all into
its nav and calls for more.
Mr.. Hepburn's antagonism calls
for prompt protest and vigorous
action on the part of the people |
Of this great valley. Memphis will
have an opportunity Wednesday
to take its stand for the accom-
plishment of this great work. St. |
Louis has already spoken with no
uncertain voice. This town ought
10 be the next to take action, and

phis will be found with forces we'll

Weird Tale Made In Germany.
Grandma is German. and in
Germany in her time was person
age called ''the good man" Now
it seems that my grandmother had
brother named John, who, as the
old people in Germany called it.
was possessed of the devil" as be
would fall in a sort of fit, and
when in them would talk to an un-
seen person, and become so heavy
that FIVE men could not raise him
from the ground.
Que time grandma and her sis
ter and mother and father were
sitting at the fireplace, when there
appeared at the window an animal
for which people paid high price
for the fur. 1t reared upon its
hind legs at the window, and my
great grandfather removed his
slipper, with the intention of
throwing it, but just then he turn
ed, and there stood John in his
night robe, and said: "Do not
touch him." and walked to the
window and said: $50 you have
come; as you came; so shall you
GO"
Previously the boy, child like,
had threatened his sister ''that the
black devil would come" and /
suppose this was the ful6llment of
bis threat; at least 80 they thought,
and became much alarmed and
again took him to specialists, but
they could not learn what malady
he had.
The people of the village at last
said the boy should be taken to
"the good man" as a last resource.
This old man seemed to have q
sort of second sight, and would
not aid people unless they were
thoroughly good and honest. On
the steps of the house the boy was
seized with another spell, and sew
eral men carried him to the house.
As soon as he entered the living
room he ran to an open fireplace
and hid. The old man then enter
ed the room, and, staring hard at
the boy, said: Come here" He
obeyed Immediately, and the cid
man blessed him and said to the
mother: go home, heis cured"
AS the boy went out of the
house there was glass of water
standing on table, and he turned
to his mother and said: Mother,
if that glass had weighed ton it
would represent the weight that
has been lifted from my heart"
The child never had another
spell, and grew to be an old man,
and not till he was in middle life
would any of his family tell him Of
the awful curse that seemed to
have been on him as child. Chi |
