Did His Work Too Well,

While 1t is no easy matter for a
violin maker to rival the famous
Stradivarius instruments, an American
maker once did this, and did 1t in so
effective a manner that experts pro-
nounced his violin a genuine Stradiva.

Gemunder. who died some years ago.
His remarkable ability as a maker of
violins was known to many a distin-
guished player, such as Ole Bull. Re-
menyi. and Wilhelmj, but he achieved
so runs the story-his greatest sue
cess at the last Paris exposition. To
that exhibition he sent an imitation
Stradivarius and to test its merits
had it placed on exhibition as the
genuine article. A committee Of ex-
perts carefully examined the Instru-
ment and pronounced it a Stradivarius.
So far Gemunder's triumph was conn.,
plete, but now came difficulty. When
he claimed that it was not an old vio-
lin. but a new one, made by himself.
the committee would not believe him.
They declared that he had never made
the instrument and pronounced him an
impostor. He had done bis work too
well

BOYS co into CAMP
Y. M. c.. A. Lads Pitch Tents
Near Covington, O.

Forty three boys left today for Gov
ington, Ohio, where they will camp
for the ensuing two weeks. The boys
are members of the Young Mems Chris
tan association here.
The tents will be put up along the
banks of the Saltwater, a few miles
from the town of Covington. This
place was selected over several other
ideal camping places, by Roy Horton
and Herbert Pettijohn.
OF the forty-three boys who left to-
Gay, thirty-eight will remain at the
camp for two weeks.
Most of the boys made the trip from
here to Covington on the train, while
three went in automobiles and two
others decided to hike" it. Those who
intend to walk the entire distance are
Ed Lanning and Emery Caster.
The boys are in charge of Herbert
Pettijohn, boys secretary of the local
Institution.

Whistler and His Tailor,

Curious enough" wrote Mortimer
Menpes, whenever one came in con-
tact with Whistler one entirely forgot
ones own affairs and became COM
pletely occupied with his. The fit Of
the masters coat was far more impor'
tant to me than my own artistic work.
at the tailor's Whistler would give an
elaborate description of how a certain
coat was to be made. and the tailor
would carry out his directions literally.
But no sooner had the man accomplish
ed the work than Whistler would say:
This Is all wrong. How dare you say
that it is what l told you to do? am
a painter. 1t is not my business to
make coats. That is your province.
Therefore you should have led me to
do what you knew to be right"

SOCIALIST JOHN SPARGO GIVES OPINIONS

candidate whose success will consum-
ate the reconstruction of this nation"
Champ Clark is not a progressive,
according to SpargO, and Wilson is
more a pendant than a politician-a
politician on pedestal, he expressed
it, There was a faint hint from Spar
go that William Jennings Bryan does
not consider Champ Clark a progress
sive, and that in the final measure or
be nominated.
Gaynor is thoroughly available for
the presidential nomination, Spargo
said. He has made good mayor, is
equal to the biggest job, popular in
New York and sufficiently progress
i've to appeal to the West.
In summing up the Republican tug
of-war, Spargo said the temporary roll,
on it's face, would show the following
strength; Taft, 514; Roosevelt, ass;
Lafollette, 55; Cummins, 81. How
ever, Spargo believes Taft will gain on
the second ballot, and on the third,
when he will be nominated. This
agrees with the theory of Joseph B.
Healing, who says he has made close
study of the situation, and that Taft
can get forty votes from Roosevelt
while Roosevelt is breaking into Taft's
instructed vote from the South.
But will the Republican convention,
without a break, proceed further than
hand-to-hand conflict over the tenn
porary roll? There is slight prob
ability that Roosevelt will control the
committee on credentials. 1t is private
ly known that he has broken into sew
eral smaller Taft delegations and OBJ
tanned assurances that their member
of the committee on credentials will
vote to restore certain unseated dele
gates to the temporary roll. These in
stances can not be divulged at this
time.

Mental Twiliaht,

Mental health passes into mental dis
ease most commonly in a gradual way.
as light passes into darkness. There
is a mental twilight, a borderland in
which it is impossible to say whether
the patient is mentally i'll or not. 1t is
always well for II man who undergoes
such changes mentally to consult his
doctor. and it is always well for the
doctor not to make too light of such a
change because treatment is usually
far more effectual in that borderland
stage than it Is when the symptoms
have been fully developed. The best
test of mental health is when a man
feels a conscious sense of organic well
being, although many persons go
through life with more or less OF q
sense of Ill being all the time and are
not on that account to be regarded as

GRADUATING CLASS
HEARS AN ADDRESS,
Prof. Dennis Delivers lnspir-
ing Talk at College Chap
ell Sunday Morning.

Yesterday morning the senior class
of Earlham College marched in a body
into the chapel 10 worship there for
the last time during their college days.
Professor David Worth Dennis de-
iivered the Baccalaureate address.
Professor Dennis dealt chiefly with the
preparation for life which a college
student makes showing how great men
have spent years of their hives in pre-
raration for a very few years of great
work and achievements. He empha-'
sized the relation between the pupil
and the teacher. AS concrete illustra-
lions of this he showed how Socrates
had studied under Plato. and in turn
Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander
the Great. He pointed TO the active
ments of Alexander and showed how
they were directly due TO his prehmi-
nary training and the influence of
these great philosophers. Prof. Dennis
then cited as present day examples OF
this descendency of knowledge, how
Aggassiz was pupil of Pasteur, how
Professor Moore studied under Aggas-
siZ and in turn was an instructor OF
President Kelly. He also said that ed
ucation is to be rewarded in any one
of four ways. first in gaining wealth.
second, in acquiring fame. third, in
Joy of seeing the truth. fourth. in the
consciousness of having laid the foun-
dation of great good.
In a special music number Mrs. Fred
J. Bartel sang a solo The Lord is My

The Spaniard rolled his black eyes
at this, inhaled a great cloud of ciga-
rette smoke and said:

societies for the prevention of cruelty

Yes"
"And they do good work."
"Oh, splendid work.
