1t took Skovgaard, the famous
Danish violinist, so years to make
this hand.
To the ordinary eye it is not very
different from other well developed
hands. Yet it has the power almost
automatically to express through the
violin the exquisite beauty and mar
velous tone pictures which the play
er feels and sees as he interprets the
work of the masters.
Incessant training and the Unborn
soul of the artist fashioned it. You
cannot make genius. But genius and
the power OF untiring work created
this marvellous tool. now at last,
without his even thinking of it, obed
lent in every slightest movement
strong, tender, delicate, passionate,
incredibly swift, to the wonderful
dreams of the soul of it's creator.
AS an investment it represents a
mans life work. But it represents,
too, the Unborn gift which no money
can buy. Without that no work
could mould a hand like this hand
of master.
That is why it is insured for $780,
600. Under auspices of Associated

Freshmen of Augustana college
were out for revenge last night and,
but for untoward circumstances, would
probably have succeeded in avenging
the humiliation of last Wednesday ev

hazed by band of sophomores.
The occasion of the Phreno recep-

tunity to show class spirit, Freshies
were there in force and gave vent 10
their enthusiasm by letting loose a
number of recently manufactured yells.
Word was also passed around in NUT
fed whispers that before the evening
was over they would get some one
After the reception a dozen freshies
banded together and silently marched
down Seventh avenue in the hope of
spying some stray sophomore. At
Thirty-eighth street, Irving Munson, a
hostile "soph,' was espied escOrting

Here an opportunity presented itself.
but the gentlemanly freshies refrained
from separating the soph" from his
charming companion and contented
themselves with escorting both Mum

home.

Arriving thither, the freshies
thought that with the lady safely
home, they would seize their prey,
and two of the under Classmep pounc-

scented being separated from his COM

his assailants, who did not wish to
resort to extreme measures. and the
sophomore reached the porch in safe

cooped up in the house. Freshies, I'M
daunted by the first repulse, laid in

around the house to prevent any es-

1t also leaked out that another soph-
omore, Roscoe Anderson, was in the
same house. having also escorted a

The fresh1es secured their Gordon and
had the sophomores in a trap. with
the two alternatives of making a pro

In their procurement, however, dlu

PERCY ELECTED SENATOR
A Contest Remarkable in Many Re
spects.

New Orleans States Feb. a3: A great
deal of attention has been .eeftered upon
the senatorial contest which mas been on
before the legislative caucus in Missis-
sippi during the past forty days That
contest ended last night by the caucus
nomination of Hon. Leroy Percy of
Greenville by a majority of FIVE votes.
When the contest opened Ex-Governor
Vardeman was the leadin candidate,
which position he maintained all through
the long fight and up to the last ballot
The contest was a remarkable one in
several respects 1t developed at an
early stage of the fight that it was the
field against Vardaman, the opposition
candidates caucusing together, putting
up candidates and pulling them down, as
the interests OF the combination would
appear to suggest, and making the defeat
of Vardaman the primary consideration.
The State political machine was opposed
to him also, a majority of the political
leaders who dominated the State in the
days of the old convention system, and
the sympathy of the corporations with
the opposition was openly charged.
With such powerful infuenceh operat-
ing to accomplish his defeat, the wonder
is that Mr.. Vardaman should have been
able to hold his followers together so
well and so long, 1t is splendid tribute
to his ability as political leader and to
his character as man that under such
trying circumstances his supporters
stood with him to the end without wav-
ering. The defeated candidate and his
friends accepted the result gracefully.
Mr.. Percy made a conciliatory address
in which he incidentally. announced his
intention to ask the people for. nomina-
ton to the land term, and Mr.. Varde-
man announced that his compaign for
the nomination would begin at once.

BREWERS MEETING
Held in New Orleans Did not Discuss
Prohihition-Dissension Said To Ex-
ist in the Organization.

The brewers doing business in New
Orleans held meeting in that city
Wednesday. Instead of discussing pro
hibition, the scale of wages and other
matters of dollars and cents were con-
sidered. There viii follow another meet
ing at an early day, at which prohibition
may command attention. As reported in
the Times-Democrat, one of the Local
Drawers and man of prominence said
that there will be ways and means OF
combating the campaigns projected by
the temperance advocates. It was also
stated, although denialS were entered
from every quarter, that harmony which
was so much in evidence in the last anti
prohibitionist campaign in Louisiana has
been conspicuous by its absence.
Stories were discussed among the
trade, it is alleged, that the organiza-
ton formerly made by the local brewers
to fight the prohibitionists had been dis
rupted, and that because of certain dis
sensions there was strong probability
that in this years campaign every tub
would stand upon its own bottom, as far
as the several breweries are concerned
These reports were strenuously denied
by President Lawrence Fabacher of the
Southern Brewers Association, who, by
virtue of his position, ;, is the leader III
the councils of the local brewers Mr..
Fabacher admitted that there had been
an understanding among the brewers If
the last fight, and did not deny thai
some of the brewers no longer confer
with others in such matters. He denied
that the brewers are at serious logger
heads and seemed to think that they
would again present united front III
the defense of their interests. He said
that at the meeting called for today
there would be discussion of the labor
question. At this time the brewers make
their annual contracts with their EN-.
ployes an dthe conference today is to
discuss that matter.

PROHIBITION ELECTION
The Parish of Vermilion Is Opposed to
the Liquor Traffic.

The article following is part of al
editorial from the Times-Democrat is
Sue of February %. The TimesDemo
crat is more in accord with the policy Of
the liquor traffic than with the prohibi-
tionists. It favors the Shattucll law
which is a medium through which the
saloon is tolerated under the guise Of
being regulated 1t will be noted that
the Times-Democrat's construction OF
the result in Vermilion is the 'slet alone
policy which the liquor traffic favors
The logical deduction, more directly
speaking, the declaration of Vernilion
is defeat for the saloon, which can not
be relieved of its emphasis, by reason OF
the limited majority. Indeed, majority
for prohibition in parish such as is
Vermilion is very significant. The
Times-Democrat says:
"The election was quiet; it did not
arouse great excitement, and number
of citizens failed to vote, having other
matters to attend to, and apparently re
senting the disposition shown to compel
them TO vote every year or two on the
same question, after they had registered
their Judgment. The result was ma
iority for prohibition smaller than that
given at the last local option election,
but still large enough to show that the
people of Vermilion do not want a
change.
The result will probably prevent the
holding of more immediate local option
elections. It can not fail to exercise in
fuence on the Legislature, and will
probably be accepted as a declaration
that no change in the status quo is de-
sired at this time This means that the
public sentiment of the State is in favor
of the continuance of the Shattuck bill,
made clearer where it is necessary,
strengthened where it is weak, and en-
forced equally throughout the State.
majority in Vermilion is too slight to
give the slightest encouragement to pro
hibition in Louisiana, that cause as
shown by the vote. being not as strong
as it was two years ago If the Vertnil-
ion election means anything it is a de
claration in favor of the let alone poll
icy, that Louisiana shall be protected
from any radical course on the liquor
question one way or the other, thus
avoiding the bitterness, Generalization
and confusion which have resulted in the
other Southern States from the strug-
giles between the prohibitionists and the
ants.

COTTON STALKS
ARE DECLARED BY SECRETARY
WILSON TO BE
UNSUITABLE FOR PAPER
Extending Over the Past
Two Years Have Been Discontinued
for the Present, but May Be Again
Resumed if Conditions Warrant

Washington, Feb. 23.-Answering a
query made two years ago by Rerpresen-
tative Sheppard of Texas and other
Southern congressman, Secretary Will
son has reported that it is not CONNER
cially feasible to make paper from cot
ton stalks, thereby dashing the hopes of
those who thought it possible to use the
otherwise waste product, which, in addi-
ton TO being a waste also gives hiber-
mating places for the boil weevil. In a
laboratory sense it is possible to make
paper from cotton stalks, or in fact from
any other fbrous plant. Unfortunately
it is paper coming from factory that is
commercially profitable that the South
ern men are inquiring about
Experiments have been going on for
two years simultaneously the Depart
ment of Agriculture has been expert
menting with corn stalks and many 9TH
er substitutes for wood pulp. None,
however, promises to take the place of
pulp. Corn stalks make very good pa
per, but it is much more expensive than
wood. The paper made from cotton
stalks is weak because the fiber is short.
The cotton stalk as substitute for
wood, even if by weight it was as cheap
as wood, would be too expensive be-
cause it has larger number of chemi-
Gals in its composition and the processes
required on account of their presence
makes the product entirely too expens-
i've regardless of its lack of strength.
Experiments have been discontinued
for the present and will not be taken up
again except upon the discovery of
something that will tend to cheaper the
processes. The experiments with corn
stalks will continue for some time be-
cause in them appear to be more posi-
bilities of success than in any other pro
posed substitute.
