Made a Violin.

Cord Murdoch, of south of town,
has a violin which he has made en-
tirely by hand. using n pocket knife
mostly, there is 300 parts to the
violin and there is nine different
kinds of material used, they are
walnut, maple, white pine, cypress,
blackberry, hickory. birch. ebony
and bone. The sides of the violin
are made of little blocks of wood
and fitted together perfectly. Mr..
Murdoch says that most of the ma
terial came from the wood pile.
He has been working on it about
four or five months, but just at odd
times. 1t is highly polished and is
certainly a beautiful instrument and
is said to be very sweet tone. Mr..
Murdoch is now at work on another
violin but is making it quite little
different than the first one.-Hun-

OVERCOMING FEAR OF DEATH
pselessness Of Feeling Apparent to
Vi. All, But Few Ever Succeed In
Mastering It.

The spirit will still be in q measure
the slave of the body while we are
capable of fear. The dream In our
hearts Is somehow to break through
the last barrier of fear-to come cut,
as someone has said, on the other side
Of fear. The uselessness of the fear
of death is as apparent to us as the
sun in the sky. Its ignobleness is a
thing that haunts all who are subject
to 1t.
Whether the love Of death as the
1eliverer In the spirit of Walt Whit
man Is a passion to be cultivated may
be doubted. Those who have scorned
death most, as the great gentlemen of
the renaissance did, saw it none the
less the destroyer of the beauty Of
mems bodies and Of the light of the
world as the common man knows it.
To the religious mind, which accepts
the vision of a real and populated
world happier than this beyond the
grave, death is no doubt the deliverer.
But even to most religious men this
world has gathered about 1t all the
dearness of home; death, at its best,
is an exile, q desertion. They have
the bravery to die; but their bravery
has the sadness of Hector's. And yet,
as with Hector, some instinct drives
them to despise this death of the body,
to accept this exile as more to be de-
sired than safety and a mans own
hearth and children,
Christian, pagan, and atheist are at
one in this. They feel that the life Of
the body itself can be fully enjoyed
only when the fear Of those that kill
the body has been utterly overcome

Judge Rucker has made an envia-

become one of the most active

When the Presidential Primary was
under consideration the President
conferred with Judge Rucker on

learn more of elections from Judge
Rucker than he could have learned
from his closest advisers.
1t takes a long time for a new
member to get in position to get

there was a time when Judge Ruck-

cents per pound. The majority OF
the club members gave their pigs the
run of pastures, and were able to
bring them to maturity at cost of
about three cents per pound less
than where no pasture was used.
The average value of the pigs, based
on market quotations, was S22.26.
Many of the pigs that won prizes at
the state fair Were sold for good
prices. ranging from thirty-fiVe to
forty, and as high as fifty dollars.
There is always demand anafpathe nafps

The club boys are required to keep
an accurate record of the cost of
raising their pigs, the gain in weight
from month to month, the kind OF
feed, pasturage, etc. They are en-
.couraged to exhibit their best pigs
at the parish and state fairs. Many
