The Story Of q Violin That Was
Wrecked In Fire.
After the Lucky Baldwin theater and
hotel 6re in San Francisco years ago
there were nine feet Of water In the
basement, where the instruments Of
the orchestra we're stored. When q lit
tie of 1t had been pumped out, August
Hinrichs, leader of the orchestra, hired
q man to swim In and get out his IA
nous Amatl violin.
1t was wrecked-water soaked, warp
ed, twisted and broken up into sixty
eight pieces. The hot water had soak
ed out all the old glue, and every piece
had fallen away from Its neighbor, be-
sides a good many patches Of wood put
in when repairs had been done. To all
appearance the thing was smashed be-
yond recall.
Nevertheless Herman Muller, local
violin repairer, who knew and loved
the old fiddle. took 1t in hand. Twice
he carefully joined the time darkened
pieces of wood. Twice he decided that
the Amati would not do
SO once more he soaked the sixty
eight bits of wood apart. Then he
carefully modelled out Of clay an arch

Amati to have had and for nine weeks
kept the bits Of wood bound to 1t until
they had gained the proper shape.
Once more he put the bits Of wood
together. Then for five weeks more he
patiently vanished and polished the
more than 200 year old fiddle until 1t
shone. Then Hinrlchs once more drew
his bow across the vibrating strings,
and the violin spoke. 1t sank. wept,

Tho Equinox Storm Fable.

The United States weather bureau
has denied that the coming of the equi-
nox brings with 1t a storm. The be-
lief, 1t says, that the old fashioned peo-
pie put in this theory is all misplaced.
Any big storm that happens to occur
within a week or two Of the time that
the sun is crossing the line, say the
weather men, is dignlfled by the name
of "equinoctial storm" when, as a
matter of fact, there is generally some
atmospheric disturbance every week or
two. and those that occur about the
time OF the equinox are just taking
their turn and are not the result of the
crossing of the sun.

ENDURANCE RACE ENDED.
Colorado Cow boys Ride 5O7 Miles
From Evanston TO Denver.

Frank T. Wykert of Severance,
Col. and Charles F. Workman of
Cody, Wyo,, riding together, finished
the endurance race from Evanston,
Wyo., to Denver. at 1885 Friday
afternoon, says a Denver letter. Both
rode bronchos. Wykert, who weighs
1873 pounds, was on Sam, weight. oil
pounds, and Workman, weighing 100
pounds, rode Teddy 1925 pounds,
The racers were accompanied from
the city limits by an escort of horse
men and detail of mounted police
The streets through which they rode
were so densely lined with spectators
that 1t was impossible to ride at great
speed.
Sam appeared to be in better con-
dition than Teddy at the finish, but
neither horse was exhausted.
They had come from Cheyenne.
Wyo., distance Of 104 miles, since 6
o'clock yesterday evening, and from
Greeley, Col, SO miles, since Z o'clock
yesterday morning.
The race began Saturday morning,
may 80, at o'clock, and the distance
ridden was 5O7 miles. Twenty-Five
horses started and all had dropped
out up to last night Five left Chey-
enne last evening, but three OF these
were unable to keep up the fast pace
set by Sam and Teddy
At Henderson, IA miles out of Dem
yer, Wykert and Workman agreed on
the advice of the Officers of the Col
aroda Humane society, who were
watching the race, and of all concern
ed, to call the result tie and divide
first honors and money prize. Com
ing into Henderson both horses were
going at a terrific pace, Workman
leading by few yards.

A Remarkable Church.

At Stlvichall, near Coventry, Eng.
land. there is unique place of wor-
ship. In 1910 John Green, a stonema,
son of strongly religious turn OF
mind. laid the first stone of the edifice
and seven years later he completed the
building. In all that time he had as.
sistance from no one, doing all the
work with his own hands until the
church was ready for its interior tit-
tings. Wooden and even brick build
ings erected by one or two men are
not uncommon, but this is the only
structure in England and probably in
the world of which every stone was
laid by one man. The building accom-
modates quite large congregation,
and the church derives a considerable
revenue from the contributions Of
sightseers who are drawn to the place
through curiosity.

JOHN AND HIS IDOLS.
Tho Chinaman Is Utterly Devoid Of
Reverence In His Religion.

no Cnlnaman is OteTly OeNoiu oI
Reverence In His Religion.
How the Chinaman regards his idol
is told by the Rev. John MacGowan:
"The Chinese Is person utterly de-
void of reverence, sentiment or devo-
ton in his religion. With him 1t Is a
matter either of fear or Of business
but mainly the latter. A house Is
plagued with sickness, which is put
down not to bad sanitation or other
natural causes, but to the presence Of
evil spirits. This leads to visit to the
nearest temple to get the idol to drive
them away. A new business is going
to be commenced. but before doing so
1t is deemed essential to get the sup
port of the idols II one idol says It
will not succeed another is appealed to
for its opinion, and If 1t is favorable 1t
is at once accepted as the correct one.
"Should the venture turn out a fail
ure no reproach Of any kind is uttered
against the god whose prediction has
been falsified. The man takes the
blame upon himself. His character has
not been pure, he says, or he was born
under an evil star or he was naturally
unlucky and so was bound to fail in
anything that he undertook.
"Men never dream Of thinking about
their idols as we do about God. No
affection is shown for them. 1t is most
amusing to watch the faces of the Chi
nese when you ask them If the idols
love them. The eyes gleam, the face
broadens into wide grin, and soon
hearty laughter is heard at this most
facetious and side splitting joke

Much-traNeled Man.

It was said by Grover Cleveland that he had small sympathy with the West because he had never paid a visit to that part of the country this side of Buffalo. After he became president, Mir. Cleveland looked occasionally into the richness of the Mississippi Valley. but most of the atmosphere of this vast central region was unfamiliar to him. Taft and Bryan know the country from Maine to Mendocino. from Seattle to Savannah. They have made speeches in every part of it Oklahoma, the newest state, has had visits from Taft and Bryan within the year. California has seen both within the same time. Within two years Bryan and Taft have dined with pot entates in the Orient In that time Taft has visited the Philippines as a representative of this government. and in capacity semi official in charact- CT Bryan has addressed a peace con- ference. Thus will we find in our two for the presidency men who know the world and the people who make t ED.

DO PEOPLE OvERDRESS.
If So, It Is Not the Fault of Wom-
 ankind.

We are eternally asking public con- undrums nowadays, and people seem to enjoy answering them to their own satisfaction. For instance, Do people oVerdress?" 9"
 Here is a spacious subject, appealing to both sexes, and all sorts and con- ditions of vanity The answer that is judicious would be. Not yet" The peril in the direction of overdressing lies not in overelaboration, but in un- derdiscrimination.
 But it is unfair, when considering wOman's taste in dress, to condemn the sex as overdressed because the wrong sort of gown for its environ ment has been discovered by the too ready conclusionist. Telephone and motor cars are tremendous factors in the disruption of the most sympathetic judgment, and the incest perception in clothes that woman can possess. A telephone message (pressing, not to be denied) may call the right sort of gown to the wrong sort of place before the dilemma ensuing has even been thought of. A motor car may wait a veritable "confection'' to Arcadia.
 Yet it is the occasion which may make the overdressed women. This is not the fault of women. The blame lies entirely with the life we lead which takes us to such strange and totally unexpected places

KILLING THE KILLERS.

The readiness with which alienists and medical experts find pathological excuses for murderers has already inn pressed the lay mind with the worth lessness of such excuses and has robbed even insane murderers of some of the sympathy which would natural ly go out to them. Many believe that one who takes human life should be treated as a murderer and that the question of Responsibility should not be discussed, arguing that an ire sponsible slayer is better off dead than alive.
 Paul Bourget, the famous French novelist, has been driven to some such view.
 Whoever kills should be killed" he said, "and in the Mosaic code, which is a model of legislation, you will ob- serve that this law is applied even to animals. The OK which had gored a man to death was executed. Moses saw very clearly that in well-organ- lZcO SOClSlS every HluTueT-nO matter of what kind-must be punished by death in order that the two ideas should be always associated.
 The intervention of the alienists has decreased the respect for law and les sened the authority of the magistrates Anyone would think that laws were made for the benefit and protection, not of society, but of degenerates. am in favor of trying to regenerate the degenerates so long as they have not committed murder. Once they have committed that ultimate crime, they should be killed like savage beasts"
