PLUGGING THE PIANO.
Mr.. Gozzleby Finds Temporary Relief

Simple Means.

cor IL is fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like to play the piano with the hard pedal

on am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resounding Of the notes fairly racks me. 4.

fun? And so hit upon the desperate CT
pedient OF blocking the heavy pedal. have
whitfield out nice little piece OF soft white
pine into plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which. 1t
works. so that the pedal cannot be de-
pressed.

the respite has given me strength the better
TO withstand. for time at least, the uproai
that will surely come when the children dis
