the vicinity of the Fir Tree Lumber

sary help to fight the fire. The resi-

RISE OF THE VIOLIN.
It Replaced the vioI When More Ora.
matio Effect Was Needed.

In the good old days from Queen
Bess to the commonwealth the ia
vorite instruments for "consort of
music" were viols of various sizes,
from treble to bass, one of which, in
a modified form, is still in use I'M
der the name of double bass. The
VOL was played with bow like the
violin, but it differed considerably
in shape, had a far weaker tone,
and its finger board was provided
with. "frets," as in the guitar, man
dolin, banjo, either and some other
instruments; hence it's range was
limited, and it had not the same
power of pure information as the
violin.
When there arose a demand for
more expression, more dramatic eff
feet, the 'scoulding violins," as
Thomas Mace called them, ousted
the gentle viols, all Of which, with
the one exception named above.
quickly became obsolete. A famous
institution of Louis XIII. was a
band called 'Ies vingtquatre vio-
Ions" 1t played at court balls,
dances and dinners. Charles II.
gave the deathblow to viols in Eng
land when, in imitation of the
French court, he formed a band of
twenty-four violins "as being more
arie and brisk than viols." These
were the "four and twenty fddles
all in row.. that we heard of in
our childhood.
Since the rise of orchestral music,
whether for the church, the opera,
the symphony or the dance, it has
been customary to divide the body
of violins into two masses, called,
respectively, the first and second
violins. The first violins take the
leading part and are accompanied
by the seconds, which are of equal
Importance to the harmony. The
familiar expression of playing Sec
ond fiddle" in the ordinary affairs
of life suggests that there is some
thing derogatory in following a
lead, but the position Of second vio-
lin in the orchestra is as important
as that of first, though in the ma
ture of things it is not SO promi-
nently before the public. To be a
good second demands certain
valuable qualifications not possess

Cooke County Gets First
Place In Raising of Library
Funds. Total Amount Raised
$1,264.80.

Briefly reviewing the work of
the year in Cooke county, | wish to
say that it has been a field of in
terest and great pleasure to me.
Young as | am, just out of school
myself, with the feeling of school
life as student still a part of me,
nothing could give me more per-
feet delight than to mix with the
hundreds of school children and
watch their intellectual growth.
There is scarcely a nook of the
county which i have not been in,
nor community have not visit
ed and speaking for all must say,
that surely there is no better peo-
pie on earth to be found than
throughout the whole of Cooke
county | invariably found the
spirit of cleverness so strong that
| felt my home was everywhere.
In the majority of cases the pat
rons of the various schools have
given the Board the strongest pos
sible backing and we attribute our
success this year to this fact.
Throughout the county there has
been an expressed demand for
better school Improvement along
the line of school buildings and
equipment. Our limited means
greatly handicapped us in doing
for the people what we wanted to
do. | recall that at the beginning
of the scholastic year we were
charged with an overdraft of
5000 which amount would
have run our schools two months
longer.
Owing to the fact that the I'M
usual drought greatly endangered
the living conditions of the major
ity of the county, we adopted the
less strenuous methods of enforc-
ing the compulsory law and gave
everybody a chance to become
acquainted with its provisions,
with a view to being fully enforc-
ed the second year and thereafter.
Our public school library move
ment proved quite successful. We
raised for twenty-three schools,
county and state $126.4SO. This
gave us, at the close of our schools,
first place in all the counties of
the state. Miss Sallie Monaghan
won the prize offered by the
Board for the largest sum raised
by any one school teacher, the
amount being $4,000. Several
other schools raised from $35 to
$45.
This year we hope to have six
months school, with better inter-
est than ever before, with a view
o giving to the children Of our
county that for which they thirst,
ian education" Signed,

With the fangs properly placed in the
Sherman law, the government is now
seeking to place the punishment where
the blame has rested, with the active
heads of the directorates, whose mas
