Messrs. Daynes Music Co., Salt Lake
City:
Gentlemen-FeeIing quite an interest
in the Pianola, I am glad to write
something concerning it, at your re-
quest.
First let me say, Welcome PianOla!
This instrument viii certainly prove
to be one of extreme usefulness.
That people in general can, by means
of the PianOla. become familiar with
almost the entire literature for piano
means much. Love for the best in
music will surely be the outcome. To-
day the pianos which are used but
little are probably greater in number
than those which are used much; The
Pianola will reverse this, I think.
The piano players who are filling
homes with the best of music are few
indeed. The PianOla will change this,
as it brings this accomplishment with
in the reach of. we may say, all. The
principle of tone production being cor
rect in the PfanOla, che tone is of
course good Owing to the fact that
the PianOla produces better and better
results, according to the musical abil-
.ity of the performer, genuine music
study will increase. As the P1anola re-
uuires so little mechanical ability, the
performers attention can be given to
the study of music itself. Taste and
Judgment should therefore unfold
quickly if one is not already awake
mUsically.
A deeper interest in the playing Of
great pianists will naturally result.

Dear Sirs-I have to thank you for
drawing my attention to that most
wonderful invention, the Pianola. At
first [ was inclined to be dubious as
to the results. but after listening to
your rendition of several standard and
classical compositions / was astOnished
and began to realize its capabilities.
To the student on the Dianoforte it
will be invaluable, as it will enable
him to study any composition he may
wish to learn in all its details, and
hear how it ought TO be rendered when
he plays it himself upon the piano
without the aid of the Pianola. To
the amateur who does not wish to
spend time in mastering technical diff
fculties. il will enable him to perform
at once any composition of the great
est masters perfectly, of course, this
will require a study of musical inter-
probation.
To the teacher who fears that this
new invention Will injure his business
he Will find that his services viii still
be required in families to instruct how
to use this adjunct to the piano, as
he will be required to teach musical
classical composition, etc, how 10
phrase: in fact. nearly everything eX-
ceDt technique.
To those who merely wish to use it
for amusement and pleasure in listen
ing to popular music. it win prove a
never ending source of enjoyment.

The unprecedented rainfall expert
enced in Armagh during the middle of
August proved most disastrous to some
of the crops, particularly the hay crop.
In great number of Instances where
the farmers had commenced to cut the
hay operations had to be suspended,
and in low lying districts this crop,
which bore a promising appearance,
was completely swept away or destroy

You have read Of the fays and'fairies. the

IT'S strange how people wonder and seek
For mysteries by he million which live
right where they are.
Good fairies watch DER mortals, their in
nocent ways and wiles,
Sow crops of good intentions you harVes'
in sheaves Of smiles;
They gladden. the poorest houses. bring
hope to the poorest hearts,
And lend men inspiration to triumph IN
fields and marts.
Don't we these things accomplish, when

OF course we are full of mischief. tits

But Crewn folks lean little to trouble
some ways themselves;
We keep them alert and watehful. restrain
them from over-slesp,
And sometimes even UP matters by making
them scold ana weep
But we later give full measure OF blessing
disguised In noise.
Transmitting their brighter moments 70
jubilees packed with joys.
Their work would nag and falter but Tor
babes snshrined at home;
We sometimes act as magnets. permitting
them not to roam,
We hold their hearts at the tiresids when
their bodies are far away,
And we even make hard sinners remem'
Der their God and pray;
OF course we are mites but mighty, wee
folk but wondrous strong,
For we turn to psalms the signing. ana
we turn the sobs to song.
Yes. we are the fays and fairies. the COB

Combining all their witchcraft and Willy
ways ourselves;
We work grand transformations, some
times by the midnight moon,
When papas waltz In "nighties" and trot
to homemade tune.
Don't strain your eyes far-seeking for
hidden elves and charms,
Here are the wee folk nesting right In
your laps and arms

WHEN VISITING ABROAD.
People Likely to BE Interested IN
Things Pertaining to Their
Own Business.

at is perfectly natural" said one
whose own business takes him about
more or less, relates the New York
Sun, that a man should be interested,
wherever he may be, in things per-
tanning to his own business. / know
l am in mine; when I strike a strange
place l like to go through the quar-
ter where they carry on the business
that I am engaged in and see how
they run things in it there. But
have only met with two illustrations
of this sort of thing that seemed to
me to be rather curious as we'll as
interesting.
Talking with a New York paint
manufacturer about paint of a GER
tain kind, the paint man said, Incl
dentally, that he had seen paint Of
that color on walls in Pompeii. Odd
ly enough, the other curious illustra-
ton arose out of the same ancient
city. A New Yorker engaged in the
manufacture of lead pipe said Incl
dentally to something that he was
telling me about lead pipe that he
had found in Pompeii lead pipe in fair
condition. The pipe, while covered
with an incrustation that had gath
cred upon it In the long time it had
been buried, yet cutting with as
bright and perfect a cleavage as
though it had been made yesterday,
instead of many centuries ago.
"These two things interested some
what the paint man and the lead
man, respectively, and they certainly
interested me-" ~

DOGS SUFFER FROM WORRY.
Many Cases of Nervous ProHtration
Reported "A Result of Grand
Army Reunion.

/ The grand army reunion and the
Labor day parade have left some sad
membranes along Michigan avenue
in the form of regular epidemic OF
canine nervous prostration, says the
Chicago Tribune. The pet and toy
dogs which have been lording it over
the common kind along the Lake
Front park are now many OF them
under the care OF veterinary surgeons
for most aggravated cases Of snap
pishness and nerves. Following upon
the excitement and crowds of the re-
union and parade came the hot spell,
and then the dogs betrayed symp-
toms which were feared by many to
be hydrophobia. Their usually kind
and placid dispositions were decidedly
soured and they became really dan
gerous.
At one time three pet dogs from one
block were under the care of the doc
tors. with their feminine owners
weeping nearby and begging their
lives be spared. Had they been ordi-
nary, plain dogs their deaths would
have been decreed forthwith.
The veterinary in charge said that
he had had at least dozen cases Of
the kind in the space of few days
and found that in every instance the
patients were suffering from overex-
element, overlooking and heat.

Joyous momentl Had my arms only

sighed and leaned against the green
window shutter.
WELL" he continued In q minute,
"when the doctor came into the room
I could see that he was pleased, too.
The tramp was disposed of in short
order, and then the doctor talked with
Miss Lynn-Faith Lynn, she said her
name was.
MANY happy days for the doctor and
for me followed. l had the advantage
of the doctor in one way, but he could
shake hands with her when she came
and went, which certainly ought to
have satisfied him.
HE began to grow very thoughtful,
indeed, and instead of spending his
leisure time in study, as he usually
did, he went out a great deal. One
night he came in quite late, and acted
in such a queer way that thought he
had gone insane. He looked at himself
in the mirror from top to toe, examined
his hair, his eyes and his mustache
thoroughly, and finally said aloud:
"'You're not such bad looking
chap, after all, Jack-perhaps you've a
chance
''Then he came over and sat down on
me for awhile, thinking deeply. Sud-
denly he jumped up, flung my cushions
across the room and shouted: I'll do
it'll do it to-morrow-whats that,
you old duffer?' he added, turning to
me. Il must be growing crazy. de-
clare thought the settee spoksF
81 had spoken, of course, and quite
freely, too, about his treatment of my
cushions, but I said nothing more.
! "Well, l did not see Miss Lynn for
some days, and the next time she came
in 1t was with the doctor, and they
both hooked so happy, and he kissed
her right then and there. l could feel
my green cushions almost turn red. 1

gether on me and discussed the date for
the wedding"
The old settee stopped and cleared
his throat, which had become quite
husky.
"And was Mrs. Gregg Miss Lynn be-
fore she married the doctor?" asked
the little white rocker, softly.
"Yes-and I held the bride on her
wedding day when she felt faint and
had to rest" said the settee. Here
comes Miss Phyllis, who is the image
of her mother"
Phyllis Gregg, her cheeks rosy from
brisk early morning walk and her
golden hair blowing kisses to them,
came up the steps with her sister Doro-
thy, aged ~.
"See how human the chairs look,
Dorothy" she said. "You could almost
imagine that fathers old settee had
been telling stories of the times when
1t was young-the others seem to be
turning toward 1t to listen"
isn't that funny!" cried Dorothy,
her black eyes sparkling. phyllis, I'm
going to take the little white rocker
upstairs. 1t is so pretty and need q

to carry it off, never noticing the
groans of the settee, the panied look

A TELEGRAPH LINE.
In Chill That Was Preserved from
MOIestatiOn OF Indians by
Clever Trick.

When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chilli a stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the natives and to main
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between 40 and so
captive Indians in the Gillian camp.
Gen. Pinto-in command of the opera
tions-called them together, and,
pointing to the telegraph wires, said:
"Do you see those wires?"
"Yes, general"
81 want you to remember not to go
near or touch them, for if you do
your hands via be held, and you will
be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery in
full operation, after which he ex-
claimed:
"I command you to let go the wire"
81 can't; my hands are benumbed!"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them
to liberty, giving them strict instruc-
lions to keep the secret. This had
the desired effect, for, as might be ex-
pected, the experience was related in
the strictest confidence to every man
in the tribe, and the telegraph has
ever since remained unmolested.
