Piano.

Thompson Blair, O member OF the
piano firm Of Sherman, Clay & Co., of

Los Angeles, about three years ago.
Mrs. Msloney purchased the piano upon
the installment plan, bat falling to raise

Marygold she could not meet the de.
mand, but would transfer the piano to
her daughter, Mrs. Agnes Page, whose
husband continued the payments on the
instrument for some time. One day,
three years ago, Mr.. Page dropped dead.
His death stopped all payments.
Shortly afterwards, the claim was
San Francisco, who put in a claim

distribution of the estate funds.
The other day Mr.. Blair of the San
Francisco firm came to this city to settle
up the business. seemingly knowing
nothing of the claims adjustment
through the courts. He took q piano

dence, unlocked the door and hauled

and told her that he would take the in-
strument unless she paid for it at once.

Indifferent coffee is the fault of the
coffee bean itself and the way it is
parched, not always the cooks fault,
as too many are inclined TO think. A
house mistress OF an experimental
turn Of mind and with critical mas
culine coffee drinkers III her family
gets her finest infusion by boiling.
This may be quite contrary to the

is no disputiug the clear, fragrant
quality Of her breakfast cup. She

and then, in a c0pper-bottomed pot,
the coffee is permitted TO loil for ten
minutes after it has reached the boil

situation: There seems TO Us TO be,

either optimism or Icssimism as re-
CARDS trade prospects. The nation
Is doing a great Kindergarten than,
with small exceptions, it has ever
done before-but not so great in pro-
portion to its rapidly increasing popu-
lation. There is an immediate pros.
pect of still further decline in the
yield of u agriculture, and as vet
no immediate prospect Of a compen-
satlng rise in tho producing powers
OF manufacture and trade. Still.
such prospects are never visible from
aiar, and they may appear at any
moment. There l. no excuse for pes-
slmism, but there Is not much for
optimism, for any optimism at least
would render us inSensible to the
duty of prudence, Of forbearance. of
moderation In treating the difficulties
between class and class. In the
meantime we can rejoice that the

due than it has ever Yet secured. and
