Too Well Initiated.

It Is nc easy matter for a violin max
er to rival the famous Stradivarius in
struments, but this IN American maker
did, and did SO effectively that experts
pronounced his violin a genuine Stradi-
varius.
The successful man was the late
George Gemunder, a famous violin
maker of New York. His remarkable
ability as a preparer Of yiolins was
known to many a distinguished player,
such Is Ole Bull, Remenyi and VIII
helmj. But he made, SO runs the story.
his greatest success at the Paris expo
sition Of Eiffel tower fame. To that ex-
hibition he sent an imitation Stradiva-
RUS and to test its merits had 1t placed
on exhibition as the genuine article.
A committee of experts carefully ex-
amined the instrument and pronounced
1t a S~tradivarius. So far Mr.. Gemun-
der's triumph was complete. But now
came a difficulty. When be claimed
that it was not an old violin, but a new
one made by himself, the committee
would not believe him. They declared
he never made the instrument and pro-
nounced him an impostor. He had
done his work too well.

Can't TwiddIe Their Thumbs.

-The-gorila-and cbimpanzae mhich.
belong to the higher order Of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there is n thing they can
not do-that is, twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb Is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot
tom of the first joint of the forefnger.
1t is very much restricted In Its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round SO that the tips describe a circle.
There are the same number of bones in
the hand of a gorilla as In the hand of
q man, but the thumbs of the monkey
have nc separate fiexor or bending
muscle. This is why a monkey always
keeps the thumb on the same side as
the fingers and never bends 1t round
any object that may be grasped. In
the gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second Joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is a callos-
ity on the knuckles or which the ami
NAL rests when walking on all fours.

marked Mrs. Worldly Wise, II tell you
plainly I would infinitely rather have
on my visiting list a polished villain
than a t~actless good person"
Her audience looked a trife shocked.
POSSIBLY you did not see Miss Smith
leave here a few minutes ago." Mrs.
Worldly Wise went on, showing traces
of irritation. well, she has me all
wrought up. I'm sure l could have
carried on a half hours conversation
with his Satanic majesty himself and
been less uncomfortable than I was
during my estlmable friends visit.
"Mary Ann Smith is the best woman
on earth, but she is as devoid of tact
as a baldheaded man Is of hair. She
always was that way. AS q child If
she came near you she would poke her
finger into your eye with the best of
intentions In the world and step on
your foot while she was picking up
your handkerchief for you. She has
grown less awkward physically, but
mentally she Is the same. Mary Ann
Smith is one of the misguided sister
hood that believes in telling you the
truth for your own good. Women Of
that kind should be sent as mission
aries to the cannibals, but I'd actually
feel sorry for the cannibals. I'm afraid
they couldn't digest them"
"She must have ruffled you up con-
siderably," the bachelor observed.
From start to finish she beautifully
and unconsciously placed the tip of her
finger on all my mental sore spots.
She irritated me from the moment
she climbed into my drawing room
with boots better fitted for mountain
climbing. She drove me mad the way
she fdgeted In her chair. Her CLASSY
way Of staring at you and her raucous
voice always give me the shivers, and
so does the aimless way In which she
walks, threatening every vase and bit
of bric-a-brac In the room. True, she
never does smash anything, but you
always feel that she is going to. It's
the same way with her conversation
Discrimination is scorned by her. She

LAND LOTTERY
HELD JUNE |
BIG TRACT OF LAND IN THE
EDEN VALLEY TO BE
OPENED.

Laramie, Wyo., Feb. 4.-The open
ing of 10000 acres of irrigable lard
in Eden valley, Wyoming, June 1, is
expected to draw farmers from all
sections Of the middle southwest A
$1000,000 irrigation works is being
completed and water will be deliver
ed in quantity sufficient to supply 30
600 acres by June l. The quality of
the land to be opened is said to be
exceptional and the price fixed by the
Carey act unusually cheap
The population of Wyoming has
gone up 10000 in the last six months,
and not without reason. There are
in the state ten million acres of land
subject to irrigation and cultivation;
twelve million dollars in 1907, and will
year, and the government irrigation
with farmers, is going ahead without
impediments.
A new era seems to have dawned
over the state. The formerly militant
sheep men, who were constantly at
war with the cattle herder and the
farmer playing the most important
role of all in retarding the settlement
of Wyoming by their warlike attitude,
have changed front. They have be-
gun to realize that pea and alfalfa fed
lambs produce better and more abund-
ant wool and bring three times as
much on the market as the ordinary
range sheep. And it takes farmers
to raise alfalfa and field peas.
1t is consequent that the Eden val
ley opening is attracting the attention
OF the Missouri and Kansas farmer.
The new tract is filed upon under
government regulations and costs fit.
ty-nine cents an acre as it lies The
settler later secured perpetual water
right for $50 an acre, this amount
payable in ten years. Never before
under the Carey act, has water been
offered SO cheaply, and 1t is only the
fact that the irrigation of the undulat'
ing prairies is very simple and re-
quires no great amount of construc.
tive work that makes the rate pos,
sible.
The Eden valley project is the
greatest of twenty-four provided for
in the state. The reservoirs under
construction will water $4,000 acres
and the balance of the 100000 will be
supplied from the Big and Little
Sandy rivers.
Eden valley lies girt on three sides
by tall mountains but the tillable land
itself is prairie, cut off from the cold
winds which sweep greater expanses
and is in many ways as desirable as
land might be wanted. The valley is
twenty miles from Rock Springs, )
station on the Union Pacific, and is
easily accessible from there by stage
and vehicle.
