The Place of Honor.

Farmer Hodge was of the good, old
fashioned school, and he always gave
q feast to his hands at harvest time.
It was harvest time and the feast
was about to commence.
Giles was the Oldest hand and the
hostess, with beaming cordially, mo-
toned him to the seat by her right
hand. But Giles remained silently I'M
responsive.
Come" said the hostess don't be
bashful, Mr. Giles"-he was just Giles
on ordinary occasions-"you've a
right to the place OF honor you know"
Giles deIberated a moment. then
spoke.
Thank you kindly, Mrs. Hodge,"
he said, "but if it's ali the same to
you, I'd rather sit opposite this pud-

that he thought I had been drinking.

They Blame the Paper

Sites Sentinel: This week we
looked in neighboring exchange
expecting to see an account of how
a young man had gone wrong, as it
has appeared in the daily papers,
says the Emmett Index.
Not line about the young man
could we find. And we knew why
at once. A heart broken wife or
relative had gone to the editor and
asked him to say nothing" and
the editor had listened and the tears
had won the promise from him. We
have gone through with the same
thing ourselves, dozens Of times. An
editor is only human. He has his
likes and dislikes; he loves and he
hates; his strength between love and
duty is just like that of the average
citizen. We remember one case in
particular. We had let certain
thing 60 by unmentioned, because a
fearful mother, bowed down with her
cross, had come to us and begged
the favor. A bigheaded man jump
ed us about it and called us a coward
tor SO doing. A short time after
ward the shadow fell across his
threshold and he came running and
begged us to say nothing" Yes"
we said, but don't you remember
how you called us coward for
keeping still?' Il know" he an
swered, but l was wrong. 1t is
different now" And we listened
even to him. There are things that
an editor can't suppress. There are
other things that he can forget with
propriety. As far as we are con-
cerned we would rather lessen the
grief OF parent than throw out a
morsel for the vulgar, gossiping
public to feed upon. We would
rather wipe away the tears from the
eyes Of a mother than to have
nerve enough to join heartless
crowd Of flying tongues, and sink
the iron deeper into her tender soul.
So when in this neighboring paper
we failed to find what we looked for
we made no comment. But down
deep in our heart admired that
editor and liked him better because
he has a heart that is tender and
would rather listen to the jibes Of an
unfeeling public than the sobs Of a
heartbroken mother or wife. -

Making q Football.

Few people have any idea of the
amount of labor expended in the
making Of football. The leather
used is split" cowhide, ordinary
cowhide being too thick for the reg
ulation weight. Previous to split
ting the leather has been soaking in
the tan pits for ten or twelve
months.
The Split" hide is we'll softened
with tubbin and then passed to the
cutter, who cuts out the various
sections, which, sewed together,
make perfectly round ball. The
bladder is made of Para rubber.
This is inflated by machinery, and
the ball is then laced up. Finally
it passes through the hands of the
shaper, who pats down any inequali-
ties in the seams or contour Of the
ball.

MIcoLo PAcANINI.
A Short Biography Of the Worlds
Greatest violinist.

A Short Biography Of the Worlds
Greatest vioiinist.
Among those remarkably gifted
souls who have left the echo of their
music for the JOY of succeeding gen.
erations Paganini, who was born at
Genoa, Italy, on Feb. 10, 1884, and
who died at Nice on May 81, 1910,
holds a foremost place in history.
His father in his early ambition
for his. child, in whom he found the
sublime musical gift, was almost
cruel in his demands for study.
While Nicolo had the best violin
teachers to be found in Italy, his
skill was due to his own genius. One
by one these teachers acknowledged
they could teach him nothing, and
the boy worked out his own meth
DDS.
At nine years he wrote sonata
and at concert made the audience
fairly wild with enthusiasm over his
playing. At thirteen he started on
his first professional tour and in the
following four years was pretty
nearly ruined. Money poured into
his hands, and he learned to gam
Bile. When he was seventeen there
came day when he had lost every
thing but his Stradivarius violin
and 8 francs. He played with the
francs and won hundred. Then he
decided never again to gamble, and
he kept his word.
This life of constant excitement
and excess had ruined his health
and nerves. A wealthy titled wom-
an took him into her favor and kept
him for three years on an estate she
had in Tuscany. She would not al
low him to play the violin, for she
better enjoyed the guitar.
In the quiet, simple life Of the
country Paganini grew strong and
well, and when he was twenty he
went back to Genoa and began his
real musical life. The next year he
made his second professional tour,
and this ended in his being made d.
rector of music at the court of the
Princess Eliza Bacciochi, sister Of
Napoleon Bonaparte, at Lucca.
In person Paganini was peculiar.
He was exceedingly thin and had a
strange, awkward walk. His face
was long, his eyes deep and dark,
and he wore his hair long, almost to
his shoulders.
He was thirty when he left the
Tuscan court, and from that time
he. kept free from all such obliga-
tons. He played when and where
he had a fancy to appear, and all
Europe was. at his feet.
He loved Italy, and when his du-
ties took him to Germany, France
and England he made bitter com
plants in regard to climate and
methods of living. In Italy any
accommodation suited him. His
health began to fail seriously after
he was thirty, and after a brilliant
success in all the great cities he re-
turned to Italy and spent some
years in the enjoyment of several
estates he had bought, for he was
now very rich.
In the municipal building at
Genoa is carefully preserved Paga-
minis violin. He left it to the city,
and no other artist was to be allowed
to play upon it. The great artist is
buried in the village church near
the place of residence he loved best
the Villa Gajona.-Boston Globe.

STATEHOOD CELEBRATION
IN TUcUMCARI

As soon as the news reached Tucum.
carl that the statehood bill had passed
the house of congress, the citizens be.
gan planning to celebrate. Old flags
were taken from their hiding places,
two stars were tackled on them and
swung TO the breeze. People in every
walk of life began to congregatc on
the street corners, they smiled, shook
hands, and some of the more hilarious
gave whoop. Old anvils were drag
ged from the shops and loaded with
powder. The whistles began to blow
and those who had not yet heard the
news thought the town was on fire, and
20 add to their dismay, two large bon
fires were lighted on second street. The
flames lighted up the city, the anvils
sounded like an artillery combat, and
the wierd noise of the whistles was
sounding a requium to Territorial rule
while the shouts of the multitude and
the noise Of the fife and drum gave evi.
dence of the delight with which the
welcome news was received. Statehood
had been so long delayed that some of
the citizens could hardly realize that the
news was authentic. Their skepticism
was soon removed however, when Post
