Gartley, "OLD" VIOLIN IN PEMBROKE "Candy Kitchen" Chris Moskos, Pembroke, has in his possession a violin which, if the label pasted inside can be believed, was manu- factured in 1512, Mr. Moskos, however, is inclined to be skepti- cal, although there {is no doubt that the instrument Is a very old one, The violin is hand-carved and is a splendid example of craftsmanship, On the back Is a piece of inlay work depicting a mediaeval European street scene. The inlay is a bit chipped and warped with age, but the years have dealt kindly with the colors. Around the outer edge of the vio- lin is carved the Latin inscription, "Viva ful ivi sylvis Deo mortui dul ce." The legend on the label inside is in Italian and is evident- ly the name and address of the manufacturer. It reads "Gaspard Deoffi Pru Bonamilio, Anno 1512." ggar BROKERS MAKE ASSIGNMENT Following an assignment in bankruptey made February 11, a meeting of the creditors of the creditors of the brokerage firm of Roney and Jones, Pembroke, was held Wednesday, and J.

When the Mill whistle sounded Mary was sitting under the tree at the close of that pay day, Mary was sitting under the tree in the yard with her sewing basket--a gift from the luterpre- ter--on the grass beside her chair, The sunlight was bright on the garden where the ever iu- dustrious bees were filling their golden bags with the sweet wealth of the old-fashioned flowers, Bright-winged butterflies zig-zags- +d here and there above the shrub- bery along the fence and over her head; in the leafy shadows of tha trees her bird friends were cheer- fully busy with their small duties. Now and then a passing neighbor paused to exchange a word or two of their common interests. Pres- ently workmen from the Mill went by--men of her father's class who lived in that vicinity of well-kept cottage homes; and each one call- ed a greeting to the daughter of his friend, And so, at last, Peter Martina himself and Captain Charlie turn- cd !n at the little white gate and came to sit down on the grass at her feet, "You are late to-day," sald Mary, smiling, "l suppose you both have forgotten that the veg- etaple garden is to be hoed this aft@rnoon and that you, Charlie, promised to beat the rugs for me." Captain Charlie stretched him-, self lazily on the cool grass, "We should worry about gardens and rugs and things," 'he returned, "This is the day we celebrate." The father laughed quietly at his daughter's look of puzzled en- quiry, "The day you celebrate?" said Mary. "Celebrate what?" Charlie answered with a fair im- tation of a soap-box orator, "This my beloved sister, is the day of our emancipation from the iron rule of that cruel capitalist, who hus for so many years crushed the liv- es of his toiling slaves in his Mill of hell, and coined our heart's blood into dollars to fill his selfish coffers of princely luxury, Down through the ringing ages of the future this day will be forever cel- ehrated as the day that signals the dawning of a new era in the in- dustrial world of--uh--wow! Stop it!" Captain Charlie was ticklish and the toe of Mary's slipper had found a vital spot among his ribs, "You sound like that 'Jake Vo- dell," she said. "Stop your non- sense this minute and tell me what you mean or " Her foot ad- vanc-d again threateningly. Captain Charlie rolled over to a safe distance and sat up to grin at ber with teasing impudence. "What's the macter with father?" she demanded. But Pete only laughed and an- swered, "I guess maybe he thinks' he's going to get promoted to some bigher-up position in the Mill. *No such luck for me!" said Charlie quickly. "John will need' me too much right where I am." A bright color swept into Mary cheeks and here eyes shone for glad excitement, "Do you mean ihat John--that his father has ---" She looked from her father's facel to her brother and back to her father again. iy 3 him, Pele nodded silently, "You've guessed ft, sister," said Charlie. "0ld Adam walked out for good to-day, turned the whole sorks over to John--troubles, tri- umphs, opportunities, disasters and all, And it's a man's sized job the boy has drawn, believe me -- especially right now, Vodell as busy as he is." "The men in the Mill were all pleased with the change, weren't they " asked Mary. "They will be, when they hear of it," answered Captain Charlie, getting to his feet. "That is," he added, as he wet his father's look, "most of them will be." There's come in the Mill that it won't make any difference to, I'm afraid," said Peter Martin, soberly. Then the two men went into the, house to, as they sald "clean up" an operation that required a good- iy supply of water with plenty of soap and a& +no little physical ef- fort in the way of vigorous rub-, bing.

Of late years, it looks as though everybody hates his job and is ashamed of what he is doing. - They all seem to think of nothing but their pay, and busy their minds with scheming how they can get the most and give the least, It's the regular thing to work with one eye on the foreman and the other on the clock, and to count it a great joke when a job is spoiled or a breakdown causes rouble." All of which was a speech of unisual length for Pete Martin. Captain Charlie ssked, thought- fully, "And don't you think, fath- er, that Adam looks on the work of the Mill in exact'y that spirit of 'get the most for the least' witl- out regard to the meaning and purpose of the work itself?" "There's no reason to doubt fit, son, that I can see," returned the old workman.
