BROUGH TAKES UP
 SOLDIERS FIGHT

Little Rock, Oct. Ex-Governor Brough is taking up directly with Secretary Baker the trouble that oc- cured few days ago in a dance hall situated at Pineville, between Alexan- dria and Camp Beauregard, La. A free-for-all fight occurred between sol diers from each state and their friends took it up. It is said the Lou isiana boy showed the Arkansas boy while dancing, then others jumped in and in a few minutes 75 were involved in the melee, causing almost a panic. There were several knock-outs, and one Arkansas boy was badly injured with knife. There was considerable drinking among the combatants, and it is said that liquor is sold to the souldiers.
 The cantonment was sought by the business men of Alexandria with the assurance that the saloons, if neces- sary. would be eliminated, and at the time Governor Brough wrote vigorous protest to the secretary of war against permitting the saloons to remain.

MAKING OF VIOLIN STRINGS

BY IN Interesting Process.

While perhaps most violinfsts know
how the gut strings they use are man
ufactured, there may be those who are
uninformed as to the manufacture Of
such strings. This may be explained
in few words.
The gut D, A, and ID strings are
made from the intestines Of the sheep.
In the full grown, mature animal, such
intestines are from 40 to 80 feet in
length.
The raw material IL obtained from
the stock yards, and is first thoroughly
cleansed Of al fat and flesh fiber, by
dull knives arranged on drum turned
by a crank, says the Musician. The
white and tough membrane that is
left is then split by an expert in this
work, by bringing 1t against the blade
of a safety razor set,upright in table
before the splitter. The material is
thus split Into seven strands. These
strands are then spun together, and
placed on frames where,they are thor
oughly dried.
The E string Of European make re-
ruires four strands, and the e string
Of American make six. The strands,
