ian life would be a good time to give
him surprise party, and they worked
1t pretty nicely on the Reverend. One

who is unmarried, sent postal card to
Rev. McEntire TO be sure and be at
home at LOO a. IN. August 16, and Mr..
McEntire suspected that he would have
wedding ceremony TO perform and he
was completely taken by surprise when
thirty members Of the Bollinger charge

come empty handed. After an excellent
repast d. L. Brumbaugh, in behalf OF
the friends assembled, presented Rev.

Got Bewildered.

John O'Conner, an old citizen OF Reyn-
oldsville, went out to gather blackber-
ries Monday forenoon and when he had
not returned home In the evening his
family became alarmed about him and
searching parties were organized and
sent out in different directions. Mr..
O'Conner was found at the Reynolds
vile Brick & Tile Co. plant about
eleven o'clock Monday night. Mr..
O'Conner says it was after one o'clock
before he struck good berry patch and
it was getting dark when he got into
the neighborhood of the brick plant
and he became bewildered and thought
he was at Wishaw, mistaking the silk
mill for the coal tipple at Wishaw. The
night watchman at brick plant was
fixing up a torch for Mr.. O'Conner when
some OF the searching party found him.

A specimen of the solid truth as pre-
sentcd in the Illinois Republican plat
form: 1.-THE prospect of a general re-
vision of the tariff by the Democratic
party. whose leaders in Congress are
free traders. as their records show,
would close the factories and work
shops, throw labor out OF employment,
reduce the price of the products of the
farm. bring on general distress ald
paralyze the industries of the nation"
The Republicans of Illinois may have
their differences as to the best man tc
nominate for governor. as Republicans
have in some other states, but they are
united on the vital issue of protection.
The experience of the past proves the
truth of the declaration quoted above
from their platform and the country is
not yearning for any repetition Of that
unhappy experience.

Will the Gar Go to the Front?

1t is easy to believe the reports that
the Car is breaking down and fast
aging under the terrible strain of the
reverscs i'm the East, but it is not easy
to credit the rumo. that he is going to
the front i'm person. He would accom-
plish little by such a course and might
lose much. The spectacle of the ruler
who but lately made Il plea for inter-
national disarmament and universal
peace, leading vast armies into battle
would be enough to startle the world,
and yet it would only be in keeping
with the traditions of his ancestors il
he should abandon his capital for camp
and battlefield at such time as this.
Alexander l. was with his armies much
of the time during his long wars with
the Turk and with France, and
marched with the allies into Paris after
Waterloo. Nicholas l. was with his
forces in the Crimea and died, it is said
in Il peasants hovcl. Alexander ii.
went to the front in Itussia's last war
against TurEey. No modern ruler of
Russia has been Il great general, but
all of them have kept near their
soldiers when there was hard fighting
to be done and the national power and
prestige were at stake. II is not
strange. therefore. if both the ear and
his subjects think the traditions of his
family require his presence In the Far
East. Manchuria is long way from
Russia; but it is not SO far. since the

Looking over the history of modern
times. we find but few instances where
the ruler of Il great nation has put him
self at the head of his armies. The last
English king who was a great soldier
was William Ill. but he was great
soldier long before he was great king.
Louis XIV. used always to join his
man army on important campaigns;
but he seldom joined it until he was
pretty sure it was going to win a
victory which he could claim as his
own. Napoleon I. WAS both soldier and
ruler. hut he was ruler because he was

crown of Italy largely with his sword.

entirely directed by the genius of Won

nation personally to lead his troops in

Emperor of France. The results of his
generalship were that he and his whole
army were taken prisoner by the ter
rible Moltke at Sedan, and that the
French emperor lost his crown--an ex-
ample which the czar of all the Russias
might possibly find It worth while to
ponder 1t is very doubtful if the pres
ence of Nicholas in the East would help
Russias cause very materially. He is
a good man, but not a great man and
his military ability has never besn

enthusiasm but his counsels would
cause only confusion. 1t is pretty safe
to assume that he will remain at st.

Passing Of the Square Piano.

There will be an unique bonfire at
Atlantic City, N. j., this week. when
the National Association of Piano
Dealers gathers there for its annual
convention. 1t will be nothing less
than the burning in one great pile OF
1000 old pianos. The old square piano
has had it's day; not only has it been
crowded out of fashion by the upright
and grand and the baby grand styles,
but it is SO thoroughly out of fashion
that not even its different parts are
useful in the manufacture of the mort.
modern instruments. Its machinery
cannot be adapted or made over; it's
strings are useless; its rich case is of
little value. Its day is done, and to
get these useless and worse than use
less old Instruments out of their store
houses, the dealers are planning upon
the grand bonfire mentioned above.
What sacrifice to Apollo and st. Ce-
ella it will make!
1t is all of 20 years now since the
manufacturers have built any of the
old square pianos. and although there
are scores of thousands Of them in
the homes throughout the country, the
new ones bought in recent years have
been of the other styles mentioned.
The passing of the old square piano in
spires writer in the New Nail and
Express to the following comment on
the days when people sang the old
songs to the accompaniment Of this
stately instrument.
Square pianos were i'm vogue for just
about century up to 1880; and what
a vogue they had! 1t was on the
square piano that Jane Eyre practiced,
that those great concerted pieces. tn:
Battle of Waterloo" and the Retreat
from Moscow" were originally COM
posed and played: II was on square
piano probably that Capt. Fades picked
out the air of "Anacreon in Heaven"
when Mr.. Durang from the top of ta-
BILE first tried to sing "The Star-Span-
sled Banner" to the actors of the Hell
iday Street Theatre in Baltimore. 1t
WAS on a square piano that the mid
dle-aged people of today did their
chromatic scales, with illicit intervals
of refreshmcnt when they banged THE
Harmonious Blacksmith" and heard
their forbears play THE Battle Cry of
Freedom" or The Bonny Blue Flag"
as locality required. and "Oh, No! We
Never Speak in French and Five
O'clock in the Morning" and other fa-
vorite songs OF the fifties and sixties.
1t must have been on Il square piano
that Stephen Foster composed THE
Suwanee River" and "Massa'S in the
Cold, Cold Ground" Oh. the early
musical history of this country found
its incubator in the cOffin-likc case of
the square piano. without any doubt.
