AN INSTUMENT WITH A SOUL.
Fiddle Over One Hundred Years
Old Worth $5,000.
The Ashevtlle Citizen tells this
story about a violin in Asheville
over one hundred years old, and
worth a hig pile of money :
Three hundred and three years
is the age of the violin, one of the
three in the United States made by
Migini, a violin which sang in uni
son with Jenny Lind when the
English Nightingale appeared be
fore those enthralled thousands in
Castle Garden, so many years
ago, a violin which is valued at
$5,000 and which is now owned
by Prof. W. H. Allman, of Ashe
ville. So wonderfully clear and sweet
is iis expression that at the open- j
ing of the Omaha exposition build
ing its voice was heard distinctly1
above the tones of forty other fine i
violins, and so birdlike is its call ;
that it may be heard for a distance
of four city blocks. j
Prof. Allman carries his precious
violin with him on all his journeys !
and he has owned it since 1887.
The shadows are beginning to
lengthen for the musician and
dancing master, but never is the
Migini out of his sight or without
his care. Famous masters of all
great instruments has asked that it
be sent to them for their examina
tion, and Mrs. lidith Vanderbilt,
the mistress of Biltmore, has be
come personally interested in it.
But to no one will the professor
trust his well-beloved Migini. Ex
perts have pronounced the violin
to be without a flaw, and fruitless
efforts were made to have it inclu
ded in a recent exhibition of world
famous violins that sold in New
York at prices ranging from $5,-
000 to $20,000.
"I didn't believe i could part
with it," says ihe dancing master,
touching the ancient instrument
with all the care' and reverence a
mother touches her first born. "It
has a soul, as I have a soul, and I
understand it. Some one else
might not," he ends, very simply.
ITS MSTOKY.
This violin, fashioned so many
years ago by a master craftsman
in far-off Italy, really does seem io
have
"A lone
Of some world far from ours,
Where music, and niooulight, and
feeling are one."
Its earlier history is unknown,
which is a very great pity, indeed,
for without doubt the souls of
masters, have found their divine
expressions through the ancient
instrument. Its marvelously clear
tones, as different from the tones
of the ordinary instrument as the
subdued moonlight is from the
glare of the itiid-day sun, sets the
imagination in Might, br ings visions
of strange worlds, and brings peace
to the soul of the listener. Ii is
known that this ancient violin ac
companied Jenny Lind when the
sweetest singer in all the world
appeared in this country, and won
derfully clear and sweet as were
the tones of the English nightin
gale, the song of the Migini was
no less of the essence of harmony.
It is said that this violin repre
sents the life blood of one genius
the world knew not, and who gave
his life thai he might keep his
well-beloved violin. This was in
London, in old London, more
than 200 years ago, when a young
man, struggling for recognition of
a heaven-sent talent, was finally
reduced to the choice of selling
the Magini or of starving. He
could not pan with his violin, even
then known as a sweet-toned in
strument, and so he gave his life
instead. They found him in his
garret room, so the story goes,
dead, with the precious violin
clasped in his arms.
"Music is the luxury of the rich,
and the solace and comfort of the
poor," said the dancing master,
looking with eyes full of love at
his violin. "I often wonder how
many souls this thing so full of
music has rejoiced, how many
hours of pain it has eased, and
now many it has inspired since the
time it left the hands of the Migini
craftsman 303 years ago."

THE THINGS THAT COUNT,
BY ELLA W IT E E I. E R W I L C O X
Now, dear, it isn't the bold things,
Great deeds of valor and might,
Thai count the most in the summing up of life at the end of the day.
But it is the doing of old things,
Small acts that are just right;
And doing them over and over again, no matter what others say;
In smiling at fate when you want to cry, in keeping at work when you
wan; to play
Dear, those are the things that count.
And, dear, it isn't the new ways,
U'here the wonder-seekers crowd,
That lead us into the land of content, or help us to lind our own.
But ii is keeping to true ways,
Though the music is not so loud,
And there may be many a shadowed spot where we journey along
alone;
In flinging a prayer at the face of fear, and in changing it into a song a
groan
Dear, these are things that count.
My dear, it isn't the loud part
Of creeds that is pleasing to God,
Not the chant of a prayer, or the hum of a hymn, or a jubilant ' limit
or song.
But it is the beautiful proud part
Of walking with feet faith-shod;
And in loving, loving through all, no mailer how tilings go wrong;
In trusting ever, though d.uk the day, and in keeping your hope when
the way seems long
Dear, these are the things that count.
I Ii i s is the Preparedness Needed
Uy Man To-day.
Vi'hcn the Master Builder of the
earth upon which we reside con
ceived the idea of us fashioning,
and fitness for the reception of the
millions ul liiiin.miiy He intended
placing upon ii, I le knew what
their need.s would be: thus He
filled it throughout with material,
with inexhaustible productive pow
er, and all things necessary that
when utilized, and developed
would be for man's good: this was
preparedness on God's pari.
Did God then ct'eaic merely a
responsive machine, a recorder, a
talking machine ? yes, and more!
1 le gave it a mind, reasoning pow
er, creative power, essentials for
man's education, and litness for
uses that God designed and today
God's world, and man's habita
tion, is without a paralel in grand
eur, wealth, beauty, and intellect;
and if Jehovah's still greater plans
were being faithfully carried out
and we were following the lines of
Christ's work, which He outlined !
for us, before He returned to
Heaven, we would be strangers to
such tragedies as are to-day blight
ing our beautiful world. i
Violation of trusts reposed in i
man, and abuse of the exalted priv-
ilege, known as "free moral agen-'
cy" brought about such a state of'
thing:; upon the earth, that even a
merciful Eather could no longer
hide tiie monstrosity of sin so
swiftly taking precedence in the
earth, hence the chaos of today.
In the face of present calamities,
the world should concede the ab
solute necessity of a speedy return
of the "prodigal" that it may once
again become ingratiated in God's
favor before it is too late.

Of all the millions that are strewn over those unfathomable channels, j
the majority of them came to an untimely death by shipwreck.
Vi'e are like ships upon ihe sea, and for us, as for the ships, there
are many dangers on the wide sea of life. Many a Christian who
started prosperously on his voyage to heaven has made shipwreck of
his faith and never reached the haven. j
One of the greatest dangers which has wrought such havoc to so
many souls is ihe desire for riches. A ship carrying an immense I
amount of gold was wrecked. All on board were safely rescued from
ihe sinking ship except one sailor, who had been seen on deck filling j
his pockets with coins. When told that the ship was sinking under
him, he answered that he had always lived a poor man and was de-!
lermincd to die rich. Many another beside that poor sailor has snip- j
wrecked his life, his soul, his honor, that he might die rich Rev. j
