Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
SO as to sell SO far, nearly 1OO, 600 OF
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 300
600 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, 900 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
catalogue.

smaller branches. As if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws OF nature, tlis old tree has per-

base grows another white oak, less than

larger 20 feet from the ground than az

THOUGHT The. KAISER 14u+lo.
A coachman Told Him He Would Never

A SoAchnaAi Told Hin lie would Never
Set River Anre.
An amusing little story about the pres
ent emperor of Germany, William III.
and Vienna Coachman was narrated al
a banquet lately given at Vienna by
some diplomatists, the narrator being
himself well known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic.
In the year 1887 the present Emperor
William III Of Germany, then Prince
William of Prussia, came to Vienn4,
visiting his particular friend and ohum,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf Of Aus
tria- Joined by the Prince of Wales,
who was at that time also a frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to mingle with the
commons of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests.
One day they entered a hotel, but in
stead of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, a place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hotel; in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to fierce debate about politics
between several stout members of that
class of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known all over Europe as
''fesche Wiener fiaker." The distinc-
tlon of those characters is a kind Of
good natured boldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as well as
TO perfect strangers
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly n stout,
red faced coachman walked mp TO the
table where the three princes were seat
ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
on the shoulder, said, Now. if You
should ever have anything to say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river on fire.
I'm sure''
As every public coachman in Vienna
wears number, this coachman was
upon a special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent him
a handsome scarfpin with his initials as
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nlshed, and TINS the man learned in
amazement whose political abilities
they were that he had so belittled. =

Importance OF the Exchange Reader.
The man who reads the exchanges j.
very important man, and, let me say.
too he is pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the office, and he does
not do anything else He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, or.
say, cord of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them. He has to know what
1t Is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
Serestlng story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. It requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent 1t also re-
qulres sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem SO at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend a great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day g task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots OF amusement, and, as I said, he is
very well paid. So he is happy. Charles
