The instrument is the property of
Frederick L. Neddermeyer. The own
er calls it affectionately the old
man. and plays it when he has
concerto or an aria that demands pc
culiar largeness of tone.
The modern name of the violin has
been gained from a finely carved
head of st. Paul, which ornaments the
end of the handle and which prob
ably served as an inspiration to the
original owner, undoubtedly a monk.
Around the sides of the body of the
instrument in large letters is carved
this legend: 'sNicolo de Robert delta
Domini ariese del Bresia." On the
back are two mosaics, one the head Of
a monk, probably the man who played
it when it was new, the other a pic
ture of the monastery and city of
Brescia-
Mr.. Neddermeyer secured the in
strument some years ago through Mrs.
Franz Kunze, wife of DIR. Kunze, and
while he was studying in Leipsic I'M
der the famous violin master, HanZ
Slit. The violin has most beautiful
tone, and some of it's notes are almost
cello like.

Amusing Contests.

This very funny contest took place
on ship board, where all sorts of non
sensical stunts are planned to beguile
the time away. 1t is just as funny on
land as on sea. Perhaps some may
object to the cigarette race, but this
may be overcome by using cubeb ones.
Out on the lawn Or on a breezy cor
ner of the porch place four girls IN
a row, each having a Hell-flled match
box; at a distance of, say. 20 feet

made at the University of Kansas to
meet the needs of students desiring
employment. The regents decided last
spring to put the employment bureau
upon a permanent basis. H c. Her
man, the general secretary of the Uni

bureau. He is making a canvass for
rooms and for student employment
during August and expects to have
everything in readiness for the stu
dents as they come to the University
in September. Jobs for table walters,
dishwashers, paper carriers, clerks,
stenographers, office men etc, will
be secured. The Merchants associa-
ton of Lawrence is cooperating with
Mr.. Herman and will encourage the
business men to employ students
whenever possible. Lawrence is a
small city to support such large num-
Der as the University of Kansas
brings, but it is believed that by a
determined effort all students who
must have employment can secure il

Gun holes may be seen in the front

At a Pre-NuptiaI LUNCHEON.

Besides the usual love symbols of
hearts, true-lovers' knots, slippers,
etc, at a luncheon given for a Sep
TENDER bride-elect, the hostess had a
surprise in the ices, which when
brought on proved to be relative to
some personal occasion in the guests
life. For instance, that for the bride
represented an engagement ring; it
was a circle of rich yellow cream with
a huge solitaire diamond made from
lemon ice. A young girl known to be
much interested in a soldier received
a perfect little miniature officer with
a sword. Another maiden whom 1t
was suspected had turned down a
prominent society chap had a cold
white heart of lemon ice. Every one
caught the significance and there was
a merry time.

children, aged seven and ten. Each
child was asked to come wearing an
article that would indicate some ami
NAL When all had arrived the chill
dren We're to guess all the animals
represented. 1t was an interesting
menagerie, I assure you 1t made a
jolly half hour. Then there was an
animal hunt" All over the lawn, the
porches and on the lower floor of the
large house animal crackers had been
hidden. There were cunning little
baskets given to each one to hold the
spoils; basket and crackers to be kept
and besides there was prize of those
cunning little animals to be found at
Japanese stores. A toy animal also
made a unique prize and a "Noah's
ark" Best of all the fun was mould
ing animals out of clay, each child
being protected by large towel tied
around the neck and in around the
waist. After that a good elder sister
told animal stories, while the refresh
ments were being made ready. There
was creamed chicken, wee sand
witches, ice cream with animalshaped
cookies Then they had a game
played just like Stage coach, only they
all had the names of animals and
turned around when their names were
called. When it came time to go
home the mother came out and said:
Now you are all changed into little
mice and must run away quickly to
find your houses before the old cat
gets out" and. such a merry scamper-
ing as there was. with Good byes''
and lovely times" from each little
guest.

a farmer living near Eskridge, died
of what is generally known as in
fantile paralysis. The boy was 10
months old and this is the first case
of that disease that has proved fatal
in this county. Unusual interest is
taken in the case because of the age
of the victim of the disease. Only
about five to ten per cent of the
known cases have attacked children
over years of age and when it does
strike "a child as old as this one it
always proves fatal. The most re
