In outward appearance th. house la an

but p etty country town. Th. first thing
to attract attention 1. th. yard, which,
at tor a thin strip for roses, and a .trip
of lawn some ten feet wld. on the other
side, is plastesad over with cement. In
this cement yard there ar. two circular
openings to th. soil, which will be utilised
by shubbery, otherwise th. exterior Is
harsh and gray.
One. within, however, th. eyes ar. du

unfinished state. Is everywhere apparent.
Th. floor are of rare parquetry design
with th. elegant "rug finish." This d
deslgn runs through living room, dining
room, hall and parlor, though, no two

Th. baseboards, door facings, etc., ar. of
curly fir, with th. grain brought out clearly
In deep red mahogany stain. Fine, pressed
bead-work adorns all th. corners, giving
a inin of riotous richness. Th. walla
are In hard, whit, plaster, their simplicity
contrasting sharply with th. gorgeousnes
of tbe wood finishing.

FAMOUS MAKER OF VIOLINS
Bfferd nf line of the Last of th.
Old Srheol of Fiddler, la

old violin maker.

He is one of the last ot the old school
of fiddlers and dancing school masters
who learned to play his first stringed in
strument when but 14 years of age; who
made five violins before he was 30; who
organised and led th. brass band that
played for the Sixteenth Maine regiment
through Grant's campaign; who taught
dancing tor forty years until he was TO
years of age, and mho ts still making vio
lins that sell (or 3u0.
"If you'll just take a squint ' at that
number, you'll se. It I. 175. I think this is
the last violin I shall ever make, for when
the varnish Is dry and It is strung I shall
send the Instrument to on. of my great
grandsons, to be banded down from gener
ation to generation as a family heirloom."
"When I was 1 years old." continued Mr.
Richardson, "I heard a violin for the first
time. A man on his way to work took his
'fiddle' along with him and plsyed as he
walked past my house on. day.
was morougnly fascinated i,,.iiu

owner of It and learned that It was valued
at 13. by him. I then besought my father
for th. purchase money. He said If I could
learn to play It within a given time a mat
ter of a week or so be would buy It for
ma.
"I secured possession of th. Instrument
as soon as possible, on th. condition named.
In leas than an hour I had mastered 'Auld
lng Syne" on th. strings and satisfied my
father's demand. But th. first was not the
last. -
"As soon as I heard a better Instrument
I besought my father again to buy this for
me and he consented to let me have a J10
instr ment. and yet again I heard a better,
but In this case my desire to possess such
an Instrument had no weight with my
fathe.-. Th. cash for it was not forthcom
