THE VIOLIN.
(By George Filch.)
The violin is the most aesthet
ic arid soulful of all musical in
struments. It, is made of strips
of thin wood glued together into
a box and tilled with spirits of
love, sorrow, joy, passion, relig
ion and inspiration of the' feel.
The violin also has a neck made
of wood, on which strings made
of catgut are stretched. When
these strings are scraped with a
how titled with hairs from a
horse’s tail, melodies are produc
ed which cause women to weep
and strong men to look into their
hats and resolve to he kinder In
I tie poor henceforth.
Of all the feats of mail, his
greatest has lieeu In make music
out of a cal and a horse’s tail.
If lie can do this, then1 seems to
lie no reason why lie should not,
some time, make good aldermen
out of American cil i/.ens.
Violins arc very dill'ieiill In
make, and Ihe older Ihey gel I he
heller lliey become. A bright new
violin can lie houglil for *-..‘15,
and a man can be hired for -SI
|o play on il all nighl, keeping
time willi bis feel and slopping
only for food and wilier. Mill a
220-year-old violin .sometimes j
costs as high as $10,000, and the
mail who can luck il under bis
ebin and make il laugh, weep, ca
jole,, threaten, prophesy and sing
hymns of praise to Ihe creator of
the universe can lake $1,000 a
niglil as a personal favor* from
I he pimlie.
To play Ihe violin, onei imisl
place bis lingers on the .sirings
in such a way as to produce the
various notes by shortening the
strings, and must then draw the
how across ilie sounding hoard
willi a linn, light louch or other
wise, as the case may he. This
takes from 10 to J50 years to
learn, according to the ability of
the pupil. The average is about
95 years, though most people who
play have not practiced over 15
years.
A person can learn In liddle on
a violin in six months, however,
and inside of two years can earn
good . day wages playing for
I dances and hoedowns. The liddle
is the greatest educator of the
feet, and a good fiddler can keep
three-quarters of the feet in a
large room in the air al the same
time.

It i- a fact that Valdez beer ig a food and not a tonic. j
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use i
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right, j
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to j
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. :
Second, because it is a home pr duct: brewed in your home j
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper- :
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
