I. Is no easy matter for violin mak- CT to rival the famous Stradiyarius in- struments. but this an American maker did. and did so effectively that experts pronounced his violin genuine Stradi- vafius
 The successful man was the late George Gemunder, famous violin maker of New York. His remarkable ability as preparer of vioIins was known to many distinguished player. such as Ole Bull. Remenyi and Will. 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- rius 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 Stradlvarius. So far MT. Gemun- ders triumph was complete. But now came a difficulty. When he claimed that 1t was not an old violin. but 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 TwiddI. Their Thumbs.

The gorilla and cbimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes. have many points of resemblance to man. but there is one 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 forefinger. It 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 circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of a man, but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate fexor or bending muscle. This is why monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fingers and never bends it 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 callos- ity on the knuckles on which the ani- maj rests when walking on all fours.

Fiok,.n.s. In Penmanship.

Speaking of check signatures and forgery, a downtown paying teller re- marked: "One of the most peculiar points in our business is one little com prehended by the public. I mean the embarrassment caused by the man whose signature Is seldom the same. or nearly so. two weeks in succession.
 "Thls fickleness Is not intentional. It Is in almost every case Temperament tal. The man guilty of it is generally nervous and not infrequently is greatly lacking in stability of character. At times you, as a layman, would hardly believe 1t possible that his signature on two different checks was the work of the same hand.
 "Of course we come to know these cases in time, and there are always certain characteristics in persons handwriting which the expert can de tect and which go far to convince. Nevertheless the changeable signature Is a nuisance and involves an added peril."-New York Globe.

WAS DEAD BUT
 STILL HE LIVES
BLOOD TRANsFUSED FROM ONE or THE ATTENDING PHYSICIANS CALLS A RAILROAD MAN BACK FROM ETERNITY.

TUCSON, December 5.-Apparently dead for nearly three minutes, R. F.. Woodmansee, Southern Pacific fireman, was brought out of state of coma by the transmission of blood from one of his attending physicians to his own veins.
 Woodmansee was formerly resident of Tucson, but for more than year past he has been living in San Simon, where he worked on helper. He is at present on visit in Tucson reeuperating from his illness.
 He was stricken with typhoid fever several months ago and was taken to a hospital in Fl Paso. He gradually grew worse and all hope for his recovery was despaired of.
 It was during consultation of phy- cians in his ward at the hospital that Woodmansee apparently expired No respiration was noticeable and no heart beat nor pulse could be felt. The phy- sicians believed that his end had come.
 As final hope that his life might be prolonged, Dr. Richmond, young and healthy physician, proposed trans fusion, and himself supplied pint of his own blood. The effect was magical Woodmansee seemed suddenly imbued with new life. He yawned and moved slightly, and from that time on his re- covery dated.
 'I remember nothing of the time when l was supposed to be dead, y said Woodmansee today. Everything was an absolute blank. l was unconscious all of the time and did not realize what had happened. However, am mighty grateful to the physician who suggested transmission, for otherwise I would not ! be here.

How Men and Women Face Death.

How do men and women face death when the sentence is pronounced by the doctor? A medical man tells us his experience. Tell the man of higher type and greater intelligence. he says, that he is facing death and he begins to fight. demands consultation, talks about going to specialists and fights grimly to the finish Tell woman the same facts, and she lies back to await her fate. All women are fatal ists. On the other hand. tell man that he has one chance in thousand to recover if he will undergo an opera ton. and he will trust to his own strength and endurance rather than undergo the knife. The woman will choose the thousandth chance and sub init to the operation with astounding calmness.--Woman Life.

Denver, Feb. 1.-THE trial of Be-

this morning with the taking of the
first bit of evidence in regard to the
tragedy which occurred on the night
of January 16.
District Attorney Stidger will him
self conduct the prosecution. He has
left no stone unturned to weave
about the accused woman web of
evidence that will permit of no es-
Gaping. The district attorney de-
clares that the crime was simply the
act of a jealous woman.
Charles B. Ward, attorney for the
defendant. Is expected to make the
fight of his life for his client, and
promises to spring many sensations
as the trial progresses.
Some of the things which Ward
expects to prove from the witness
stand are that she was in a delicate
condition at the time she shot Shirey.
whose mistress she had been for sew
eral years; that Shirley had grown
abusive toward her and told that she
was bout to become a mother; that
the excitement attendant upon her
confession and the physical discom-
fiture she experienced in the auto
mobile ride to Denver from LaFay-
cite brought about a premature birth
which took place in the city Jail in
