NATHAN FORDS NORTHWESTERN BUSINESS,
Xnabs Pianos for Montana

AS an indication of the popularity and i'm
mease success of the Knabe Piano in the North
west, and Of the extended trade of Nathan Ford
through the territory newly opened by the
Northern Pacific, it is gratifying to mention
the receipt of orders for three Knabe Pianos
in one day for single town in Montana.
The previous shipment of pianos to
various points in that Territory by Mr. Ford
had given such satisfaction that the purchasers
above mentioned ordered without hesitation
direct from the house by correspondence. As
j. well known, this house positively guarantees
lance, and will at any time pay return charges
on goods should they not prove satisfactory.
This reputation and the quality of the goods
handled are among the causes Of it's remark
able success.

The Art d Story.Tel1ine.

Some people seem personally ftted
for effective storytelling. George Hen:
~ Lewes was ono such. Those who
were familiar with him have often re-
marked the vivacious sparkle Of tho eye,
the peculiarly telling action of the
hands, and the self-possession with
which he would fascinate q convivial
party. Anthony Trollops it was, if we
are not mistaken, who once said that the
very clothes he wore seemed somehow
to contribute to the effect Of his good
stories-his velvet coat, and his neat
slippers, and the rest Of it, AN worn
with that air Of easy Inconsistencies
we'll calculated to enhance the points of
his narrative. That inconsistencies,
by the way, is great matter in personal
narrative. There @e some who
are prevented from ever telling
story we'll by their anxiety to do
so. They appear to be as
much concerned for themselves as
for tho success of their tale. Their own
manner and choice of language and the
impression they are making on their au-
ditors, are plainly distracting their wits
and diverting great part of their pow
or. A good story teller will always be
found to be one who is himself too deep
in his own enjoyment and appreciation
of his tale to be at all conscious of any,
thing pertaining to himself. He enters
into the thing too fully and too entirely
to be concerned with the criticisms
which may be passing upon his person
al appearance, or language or manner.
Anything like timidity or nervousness,
or self-consciousness is fatal to that
freedom Of manner which is always
principal charm of really successful
tale-tellers, and in all such narratives
as observant travellers have to tell upon
their return home. A ready flow of
language is, of course essential to success
in this line. Nothing is more unpleas-
ant than to have to listen to long nara
tives which seem continually on the
point of breaking down for want of
words, or which are told in words that
continually prompt the listener to in.
terruption and criticism which polite
ness, nevertheless forbids. A pleasant
voice, too, is great point, though not
by any means invariably indispensable.
There are times as every one must have
observed, when some harsh incongruity
of voice adds immensely to the effects
of story just in the same way as the
personal appearance of narrator may
greatly influence it's success. Lewes
was generally allowed to be anything
but handsome man, and it was in
great measure what some would call
did call, in fact-his very ugliness
which often lent immense force to his
utterances. An odd or unpleasant vein
may do precisely the same thing, giving,
perhaps, a soupcon Of acidity to what
would otherwise be found flat and in
sipid, or droll turn to points which
would be tame and dull if told in
smooth and faultless tone.-London

Great Success in tho Tatfy Line.

As he entered the room she began:

A Daring Performance.

Of Harry Leslie, the ropewalker, who died
few days ago in the Fatbush Insane asylum,
the New York Sun tells this story: He had
walked tight rope stretched from theater in
Richmond, Va, across the street, and was
about to step from the rope into an upper win
dow of q house, when he saw little girl roll
ing down the steep roof before him, where,
with her parents, she had been watching his
performance, toward the caves. Ho caught
her just as she fell from the roof He lost his
balance, but in falling he locked his feet around
the rope and swung head downward with the
child in his arms. At the first swing his head
struck the house. Slowly he raised himself
on the rope with his burden, and the crowd
The child was taken from him, and he got in
through the window unaided. Then he tainted.
He was bleeding from deep cash in the head.
