OLD IN YEARS
AND INFAMY

Special to Evening Teller.
BRUSSELS, April SKIING Leo
pold who is spending the spring in the
Riviera, is 70 years old today. De-
spite the official statement recently is
sued regarding his majesty's health it
is learned from reliable sources that
the king is undoubtedly in a bad state
and his death at any time would cause
little surprise,
1t is understood that his majesty
fully realizes his precarious condi-
ton and during the past year has
worked increasingly to place his af-
fairs, both official and personal, in
shape for his successor on the throne.
Being now at variance with all his
daughters it is believed that the bulk
of King Leopolds vast private fortune
will descend to Prince Albert of F1an-
ders. who is heir to the throne, after
adequate provision is made for those
to whom the king has been closely at
tached in late years.

life of every home, is a conceded fact.
Everyone wants the same advantages
which every one else has. This ac-
counts for the increased demand for
musical instruments of all kinds, and
by the way, this undoubtedly accounts
for the fact that America is producing
more and more artists each year. We
have some good news for all those
who have been thinking of buying
anything in the music line. Our
great removal sale makes ii possible
