It is making players OF people who, lacking
musical training, had never expected to experl'
ence the pleasure of producing music for them
selves.
It is increasing the repertoire of amateur and
professional piansts by making the entire l1terat>
ure of the piano instantly available without study
and without practice
The Pianoa looks like small cabinet It
mas small felt-covered fingers that rest the keys
of the piano and, operated by pneumatic power
strike the keys with plant, yielding and re-
markedly sympathetic touch that IS almost
identical with that of the human fingers.
When not in use the Panola may be easily
detached from the piano and moved to another
part of the room.
The Piarola can be used in connection with
any Grand or Upright piano and does not i'll any
way mar or disfgure the instrument. 1t can be
easily aud quickly adjusted by any one.
The action of the Pianola is simple that
even child can readily learn to play It; at the
same time it is capable of SO much expression that
its greatest admirers are those who best UNDER
stand and appreciate good music.

GREATER INDIAN TERRITORY.

A stockman, who unfortunately
has only one kind of brains, said
yesterday: "The influx Of farm
ers into this Indian country is a
mistake and a blight upon the pro.
gress Of the territory, as the land
is not good for anything but graz
ing" That this is a mistaken
view needs no sort of demonstra-
tion. The same power that has
developed other sections will
make-is making, this country
blossom like the rose, and bring
forth fruits in great abundance.
From the land is beginning to
come the food that must supply
all human needs, and man in all
conditions of life must be nourished
by the products of the farm. The
frugal, industrious, temperate citi-
zens in the rural homes are the
anchors of safety to society and to
the nation. The thing we want to
see is development along all the
lines of human industry. "The
Man With the Hoe" is the most
potent factor in the civilization of
the age, and before him the ranch.
men, and the hunter and trapper
must give way. The tide
that is now setting toward this
country is the right one, and ere
long we shall see these vast stretch
~ of unbroken prairie transformed
into productive farms and home
steads. The cozy farm house, the
shady lane, The busiling village
and the throbbing. restless city
are soon to appear as the righlful
occupants OF the once wild and
woolly west"
