PIANOS PLAY PROSPERITY.
Chicago Manufacturers Give Evil
dence of the Good Times
Among Farmers.

Manufacturers of pianos in Chicago
are enjoying a great wave of prosper
ity. Every firm in the city complains
of its inability to keep up with daily
orders, for it is only when business is
fiourishing that people indulge in such
luxuries as pianos and organs. The
farmer has good crops, good prices, and
money to spare, and he is able to beau
tify his home. His demands upon the
city mean steady and profitable em-
ployment for all classes of workmen.
This state of affairs has crowded the
makers of pianos with more orders
than tbey can fill in several months.
Here are snap shots taken by Wabash
avenue manufacturers:
p. S. Healy Uyon & Healy)-We are
face to face with proposition Of dis
posing of more instruments than we
can manufacture.

for every piano which is made, and the
trade is increasing with a grosing

HORSES AND ROADS.
Owners of High-Bred Animals Adj
vance Theory That Appears
Just n Little Selfish.

What is called a new view of the
good roads question appears in
recent number of the Horse World, in
the form of a statement from DIR. ii. ii.
Kane, president of the Drivers and
Riders League of New York. In sup
port of his belief that there should be
modification of the terms demanded
by the present agitators for good roads,
DR.. Kane says among other things
that farmers and haulers of heavy
loads of merchandise on our roads do
not own 25 per cent. of the horses III
the United States. Hence, the argu-
ment in favor of stone roads for their
benefit should not have so much
weight; that even if we admit that
stone roads are an excellent thing for
the farmer, they are a positive source
of injury and disease to the horses of
others; that in districts where stone
roads prevail shooting must be done one
third oftener than in the case of horses
used on dirt roads.
The doctor mentions that the good
roads movement was started by the L.
A. W., and that they cannot be blamed
for looking after their own interests,
but that it is not fair to favor one
class and work positive injury to horse
owners when there is a feasible plan
for so constructing roads as to equally
benefit all drivers, equestrians, automo-
bilists farmers and bicyclists. DR..
Kane's plan is to have one road (the
main artery of traffic to and from the
principal market) built of stone for the
farmers and those who do heavy truck
ing, and having this road and all others
where there is much traffic so built
that the center is of stone, a space of
six or eight feet wide on each side
made into good dirt road with or with
out cycle path, as the L. A. w. may
deem advisable.
DR.. Kane's argument does not rep
resent a new view of the road question
so much as reiteration of the old
plan of owners of high-bred horses,
who have long held that hard roads
worked havoc with the delicate and
shapely limbs of their costly pets.
There is doubtless some truth in this,
but the great majority of the public
who are interested in having good
roads for many other practical pur-
poses than as a speedway for choice
stock, will wonder how such horses
can be kept in the city without the in
furious results attributed 10 hard coun-
try roads. Even though DR.. Kane ex-
plains that he favors the best kind OF
dirt road, it is not probable that his
plan of road with stone center and
dirt sides could be made serviceable.
In the first place, moi all country roads
are wide enough 10 permit of a
satisfactory trial of the double plan,
and it is not likely that those who use
such a road would equalize the traffic
so as to prevent it from becoming very
uneven. 4 good dirt road with
basis of stone is all right in certain dis
fricts, but for sections where there is
considerable traffic il is doubtful if the
macadam road, with frequent coverings
of sand, can be improved upon.

RISE ABOVE 1T.
Whatsoever I'll befall
Learn to rise above IL all:

Whatsoever i'll befal
Learn to rise above 1T all;
Hear the voice of duty call:
Join your comra dss in the strife.
Though the shaft of sorrows dart
RankIes in your bleeding heart
Hide your grief, and do your part.
This is life.
Why become a slave to chance?
Why be crushed by circumstance
Rise above it, and advance
over all adversely.
You're king. and can create
For yourself your own estate;
You are master of your fate;
You are free.
All of this is ancient lore,
Often has been said before
But I'd tell it Ger and DER,
Sing it to the heart Of youth
Howsoever long tbs told;
IT'S a lesson never old.
For it bears a thread Of gold
1t Is truth.
Rise above the petty things
That would bind your spirit wings;
Hear the inner voice that sings
Songs of beauty all the while.
Drive the demon OF Despair
From your heart; and. free and fair,
Meet the broods Of grief and care
With a smile.
Circumstances make US not.
Life is substance to be wrought
In the workshop of our thought;
We can mold 1t as we will.
All the hardships that alright,
If we brave them. take their flight.
They are tests to try our might
ND CLyfI
Be not buffeted about
BY the things that lie without;
Be not ruled by fear and doubt;
Dare to worship toward the dawn;
Dare believe in truth and right
Dare to seek the higher light;
And the Wisdom Infinite
Follow on.
Spite Of calumny and threat,
Dare to have purpose set.
Keep 1t; and do not forget
You are monarch of your own.
Dare pursue, against the stream,
Your ideal and your dream.
Keep your soul a king supreme
On his throne.
IT'S not difficult TO teach.
There is naught so cheap as speech
There's reason why l preach

And would steel to do its part,

Bryan's Discredited Prophecy.

In his speech at Ortonville, among
other things Gov. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Bryan prophesied again and
again at Minneapolis, at New York,
where he addressed that noble band
of reformers, Tammany Hall; and at
Indianapolis, again, again, and again,
he said: If you vote the republican
ticket times will be harder and
harder
Again, If you vote for the gold
standard you vote for four years of
hard times
"And again: IF you vote for the
gold standard the farmer will find
that the prices of his products will
grow steadily lower
again: If you vote for the gold
standard the wage-worker will find
that he stands idle more and more
again: If you vote the republican
ticket the business men will find
that the number of failures will in
crease and the amount of bank de-
posits will decrease
"Now, l ask you not to take my
word for it, but to think of your
own experience, and compare how
things actually were; how the con-
ditions were in your own state and
in your own towns, with what Mr..
