the needle on the right side for the

THE PIANOS SOUL.
II IL Impaired to the instrument by
the "Scale"

the "Scale."
EVERY piano factory" said a piano
manufacturer, employs what we pi-
ano men call scale 1t would be too
long for me to explain to you all about
1t, but In plano making the scale is
the man who after all else has been
done imparts to the plano its soul.
Il cannot tell you how they do it.
They do not know themselves, and no
man can teach another. 1t is born, like
oil art. The scales are very few and
hard to get, and we pay them hand
some wages. But they are as difficult
to manage as the great tenors of grand
opera and as sensitive as women. Like
all artists, they are forever squabbling
among themselves about little things,
and, as you may guess, jealousy is
their besetting evil.
But have not yet explained what
the scale does. When a piano Is all
strung and tuned and ready to leave
the factory, the scale sits down to It
all alone and screws 1t to pitch. His
ear is SO true, his hand so fine and his
sense OF the reasons for sound Is so
delicate and exquisite that when he
has finished his work that which was
mere box containing strings has be-
come voice that can sing if you know
how to make it sing. The scale has
given 1t a soul-a part Of his own
soul."-New York World.

very coarse and unpleasing Better
varieties both as to size and color
come from Bavaria. Many workers
find the designs which are painted on
the finest meshed canvas quite as easy
as the loom work. and very little
counting is required. as the pattern Is
all set out In color. Time and space
fail to tell of all the wonders possible

embarked upon this fascinating occu-
patton, no one relinquishes it until the
whole range of possibilities has been
more or less successfully attempted.

Lee Willard at the Opera House

Mr.. Williards company presented
The Country Squire to very fair
sized audience in Smith & Tholin's
Opera house last Sunday night.
Mr.. Willard himself took the title
roll and played a most excellent
Country Squire. The company is not
a large one but what it lacks in num-
bers it makes up in the quality of its
members. The Country Squire is not
a play Of many parts. The pathos and
humor is admirably blended and keeps
up a well sustained interest from the
time the curtain rises on the first act
until it drops on the Christmas musings
Of the old Squire.

SCULDUGERY IN LAND DEAL
Quincy Land Agent of Shady Rep. Mixed
up With Vim. Rice

The following story Of land deal in
which Leavenworth citizen is inter
ested appeared in the Wilson Creek
World Of last week. William Rice has
lived here for year or more and is
engaged in the livery business:
Suit was fled in Chelan county this
week by William and Eta B. Rice, of
Leavenworth, Wash, against Harley
NJ. Simmons and Dulcie L. Simmons,
Earle Simmons and S. G. Scheurle of
Quincy. Corbin, Ludington & Kemp
Of Wenatchee are attorneys for plaintiffs
and Southard & Southard OF Wilson
Creek are acting for the defense.
The complaint alleges that in No
yember, 1906, Harley Simmons and wife
executed and delivered a note for
50, to William H. Rice. This note
was secured by a mortgage covering
land in Chelan county. About a year
later the complaint alleges that Sim
mons in collusion with the defendants
executed and delivered to Earle Sim
mons an alleged mortgage covering the
same land in the sum of So, 900, which
was recorded. The first mortgage hav-
ing not been recorded. About January
Is, 1908, Earle Simmons assigned the
$4,000 mortgage to Scheuerle, who
claims it was done in order to secure
his interest of $3.50 in it.
The plaintiffs say that they have
tried to get settlement Of the matter,
believing that the $4,000 mortgage was
a subterfuge to beat them out of that
sum of money, but have failed. The
defendants claim that the last mort
gage is entirely legitimate and will not
surrender until the claims held by them
are settled, which is for the face value
Of the mortgage.
The case will be heard in the Chelan
county superior court, probably at the
next term, and will be warmly con-
tested"

stantially by all the cabinet and by
nearly all other friends to whom it was
submitted. These people feared that
it would not touch the popular imagin-
alton and that the response to it would
show a marked subsidence Of Roose-
velt sentiment. Indeed, there seemed
to be danger along that line. But the
President, again trusting to his political
intuitions, and waving aside the advice
Of his political advisers, made another
leap into the dark to find, as usual, that
he had alighted on solid ground. Said
a member Of the cabinet recently:
He is really a most wonderful man.
Either he is the most skillful politician
in the country or he is the most lucky.
Sometimes I think he is a combination
of political wisdom and luck. Surely
this country has never had his equal in
ability to hold the confidence of the
people and always to be absolutely
sure of that fact
And thus it happens that the mes
sage, which many loyal Taft men
feared was TO do him incalculable
harm, in reality seams to have made
his nomination more certain.

Whatever else the Presidents s recent

Of the reactionmies, who had been

These gentlemen were proceeding on
the theory that the President had lost
his hold on the Republican party, and
on the country, and that the time was
rapidly approaching when they would
be able to say as much in the open.
They were already saying It cautiously
to each other. They thought that
they discovered IN al directions signs
Of the waning Of Roossyeltism. The
country was trng Of his performances,
and was hangarng for a return to the
old paths and to the old leaders. They

country was not tired Of Roosevelt, nor
