ducer. The buyers are getting in their
gains. Nearly all of the spirits received
here at present is said to be delivered on
contract, the price being in the neighbor-
hood of 81 cents The demand for spots

earned money of her parents for thing. and
besides she only fills place that might better
be given to one that would be more benefited
by the instruction.
ELEVEN-MINTTE LESSONS.
The school avoids unfair competition with the
music teachers Of the East Side and charges
their usual rates. These are - cents for half
hour But this sum would be prohibitve in
many cases. so 10-cent lessons are given These
are about eleven minutes long. although no
split second watches are used in reckoning
them. Then there is charge for the use OF
pianos. The school has three OF these on the top
floor Of the building and the part Of the
time OF another downstairs OF course, few Of
the pupils have pianos at home. and without
opportunities for practice elsewhere would make
little progress. 1t should be borne IN mind that
