AND SMITH CAME BACK

"Say, Mr.. Royse. talk about your
nifty service schemes, that color
sketch your architects made for us
is certainly the last word" THAT
fellow must surely be mind
reader. HE not only reproduced
our ideas completely, but managed to
arrange them in a manner exactly
suites to our needs and as we wanted
them arranged, but somehow could
not express on paper" What did
Mrs. Smith think of the sketches?
"Oh, 'boy, that woman was tickled
to death with them. You know Mr.
Royse, woman can not get a sat-
isfactory impression as to the fin
inshed appearance of house from a
blue print, but with your color
sketches she can see at a glance just
how her home will look when the
last dab Of paint is on. She also
can appreciate the suggestion in
the sketch for the arrangement of
the lawn and shrubbery. That plan
suits us to a T and we intend to
commence building next week." All
right, Mr.. Smith; glad you like our
plan so we'll. In the meantime we
will have our architects make you
a complete set of blue prints for the
guidance of your carpenters, with
full working details. Don't men
ton thanks" The satisfaction of
appreciated service is ample thanks
for us. well, you can rest assured
the service is more than appreciated
and | will be in here next week for
the first load of material"

Blackfoot Musician
Owns Rare Violins
William Thompson, a Pioneer OF
Blackfoot, Takes a Delight
in the Instruments
KNOWS QUALITY by SIGHT

William Thompson, long a resi-
dent of Blackfoot,, musician who
used to be heard here, still holds a
strong attachment for beautiful and
rare instruments. Now and then he
picks up one, from some sale, or
from a passing musician who has
seen more prosperous days, and he
keeps them or trades, or finally sells
them off. At present Mr.. Thompson
has fne old fiddle, one he has used
all his life, which he claims Is a
real "Strad." This is his especial
pet. Nobody would dare ask him
to sell that. And recently he &C
quired one Of the new French violins,
made strictly to the ancient models,
of the most excellent, tempered
wood. This instrument, Mr.. Thomp-
son believes will improve with use
until at the end of, say, twenty years,
it will rank with the rare old makes
one hears so much about.
Violins sell high, and some are
worth more and some less than Is
paid for them. The strange thing
about them Is that they can scarcely
be judged by standards.
A violin will be priceless to one
man, and worthless to another.
Spalding might not be able to play
a note on Kreisler's favorite fiddle
and Kreisler probably wouldn't pay
500 for Spalding's famous instru-
ment. There is probably no thing
on the market, aside from a horse,
that registers more "stings". in trade
than the violin. A good salesman
can literally play" upon his victim
until he sells and ordinary article at
a high price.
Mr.. Thompson Is one of those old
timers who seem to have intimate
acquaintance with violins. He speaks
of one as "she," and he knows how
she will sound, whether she will
carry, or remain sweet thru the
years, merely by looking her over,
without drawing q bow.
