A boarding house was some years ago
robbed Of a handbag and some Ego

property Of a gentleman guest, and n
few valuables. including a miniature or
the gentleman's wife. The thief had

a word! Go to bed like a good girl!'
She did not. She went to the police,
and the polite burglar was finally

Violin Has Cylindrical Body.

An entire departure from the con-
ventional lines of violin construction
has been made in an instrument for
which patents have recently been
granted to an Illinois inventor, Rob.
ert L. Yeakey. The body of the vio-
lin is cylindrical in form. However.
the sound post and bass-bar in mod
flied form are necessarily retained.
The instrument is provided with a chin
rest, so shaped as to be extended lat
orally while In use and of folding
against the instrument when not u
use.
The appearance of the violin Is most
extraordinary, but 1t is said that the
quality and volume Of tone is the
equal Of that found In handmade vio'

"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM

it is the duty Of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men

Blind REPAIR WATCHES BEST
4iohtiess Men Known 20 Detect o.
feets That Other 1radesmen
Failed to Discover.

Blind people-those who have been
born blind-are, as Is well known, ex-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
It is not often that one hears OF q
matchmaker who was born blind, ana
vet there have been instances OF the
kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived ae
Holbeach, notes an exchange. his
name was Rippin, and, although COM
pletely blind, he could take to pieces
and put together again watches of most
delicate construction with the greates'
ease and in quicker time than most
watchmakers who have the advantage
Of good eyesight.
On one occasion some Of the tiny
wheels and screws used In his trade
were stolen from him, but the THIEF
was captured with the property on his
person, and Rippin identified 1t by MS
delicate sense of touch. Another watch
and clockmaker brought up his blind
son to his trade, and he proved SO skill
full that on more than one occasion ne
detected faults in timepieces which otn'
er tradesmen had failed to discover
