that the floor will not stand the tre-
roendous weight. The full carload
which we received yesterday COM
h;ned with our already large stock
hos crowded aur store to the doors
and we find there is great danger of
the floor giving away. It is true we
might store some Of our stock else
where but this would simply add
carriage and storage to the cost of the
nianos and they would still have to
be sold That's not the way Eilers'
piano House does business. We've
decided to sell about 40 percent of
our stock within the next few days
and we are going to begin by slaugh-
tering the price Of every instrument

be maintained until enough pianos
have been sold so that we can go
ahead and make repairs necessary to
strengthen our wareroom floor. This
is your opportunity. It is not a
question Of making profit with us
just now, we've simply got to move
some pianos out Of our store in doub-
lie quick order. Cash customers are
preferred, of course, but we won't
hagle over terms. A small cash pay

just as quick as our drayman can

If you can help matters, there is no

there is no good worrying.
Worrying is a sure Indication of
weakness, confession that we have

Take short views of life and say to

Don't worry about your household or

now-if you were to die. A hard
thought. but true one.
When about to worry, up your

is impossible, put your head out of

breaths.

Frere stared at Blunt. who stared at

necessity of this drudgery can be done

There are rany superstitions regard
Ing marriage, and among the qualntest
are the following:
The bride who dreams of fairies on
the night before her wedding will be
thrice blessed.
The bridegroom who carries a min
iature horseshoe in his pocket will al
ways be lucky
The finding of spider on the we'd
ding gown by bride is considered a
sure token Of happiness to come.
Marriages on board ship are consid-
cred unlucky. If you can't get mar
ried on dry land, remain unwed.
Never give telegram to bride or
bridegroom on the way to the church.
1t Is a sure omen of evil.
If bride should by any chance see
coffin as she starts off on her wed
ding tour she should order the driver
of the carriage to turn back and start
over again. She may miss train by
doing so, but If she neglect the precau-
ton she will rue 1t, for bad luck Is
certain to follow her.
If during ire marriage ceremony TIE

brides fate will not be an enviable one.

A Frishtened crub-woman.

A club of mothers has recently been
discussing the brutality of American
children. Their alarm in regard to the
matter is based on some statistics COM
piled by one of their members. She
had been putting a test question to a
large number of children under IA
years old, and Mortified the mothers by
dren are 40 per cent more brutal than
foreign children. This is startling. But
in order to find out how frightened we
need TO be, we must examine the afore-
said test question" and the answers
from which the statistics were COM
piled.
what would you do" the children
were asked, with child who on being
presented with a box of paints, went
into the parlor and daubed the best
chairT'
The answers of the American chill
dren are reported shocking" Feed
him on bread and water :" Shut him
up in dark closet all night - Thrash
him within an inch of his ljfe.'
Unfortunately, we are not told what
were the kindly and pacific answers
given by the Italians, the Germans and
the Irish. But horror at the cruel YER
diets may be somewhat mitigated by
the fact that one 7-year-old American
maiden showed the wisdom of Solomon
In her reply, Il really don't know what
/ should do to him y
Catil some foreign boy or girl can
match the completeness of that answer,
we may endure the obloquy of the 40
per cent excess without undue shame.
Tie truth is that any such generali-
zation from such premises is absurdly
founded. TEST questions" for children
are not likely to yield useful results,
except such as Wordsworth long since
dedrced in his "Anecdote for Fathers
Showing How the Practice of Lying
May Be Taught" The average child
will manufacture an answer to any
question rather than confess ignorance
in that word of wisdom, Il don't
know. Youths Companion.
