Where Do the Old Pianos Go?


What becomes Of all the old pianos
Any piano dealer will take your old
piano when you want a new one and
will allow a substantial credit on it,
even IL 1t is OF another make. From
time to time the dealers announce sales
Of used pianos. All dealers have large
stocks OF them on hand constantly.
One piano firm has on exhibition an
old fashioned square piano which was
made at least half a century ago. This
piano bears a placard to the effect that
any one who will pay the carriage may
have it for the asking. No one has ac-
cepted the offer.
Suppose no one ever takes that plano
of the hands Of the dealers who want
to get rid OF it. What will the dealers
do with It? Obviously with rents as
high as they are 1t wouldn't pay to
store a piano you can't give away.
So the question remains. What in
the last stage Of undesirability becomes
Of all the old pianos? = Washington

A BRIDE ANp A wooDEN 70.

A BRIDE AND A WOODEN LEG.
This is an Had Of a wOman's wooden
leg.
A Pittsburg dentist has been sued By
a physician Of the same city for the re-
covery Of 500. the price OF a wooden
leg furnished some years ago for the
young woman who afterward became
the dentists wife.
Aud the questions ask themselves:
Is the wooden limb OF bride part
Of the BRIDES person or an accessory
after the fact?
Does the mau who marries a girl
with an artificial member take that leg
Ito have and to hold. to love. cherish
and protect. for better or for worse,
till death do them part?"
Attorneys for the plaintiff. 1t is IN
derstood. did not claim that the wooden
member was part and parcel Of the
person married. They put their claim
upon the peg that when a man marries
be assumes all the Indebtedness OF the
wife
Which In this case seems -rHasonable.
Because in event of the Wne's death
the husband falls heir to her property.
Manifestly, should the wife die her
husband would be seized Of the wooden
leg.
On the other hand
Attorneys for the husband make the
natural defense that the doctor did not
marry the limb of wood. that it did
not enter into the nuptlal contract. that
the doctor assumed no unusual obliga-
ton respecting it and that it was not
more part Of the woman he married
than her gown or her shoes.
From which it would seem the dis
cusSion at the trial did not leave either
side "A leg to stand upon.
The court. however. decided that the
husband must pay for the limo. where
upon he appealed
Doubtless the court was right
The husband may not have had ad-
vance knowledge respecting the wood
en- leg. or. having this knowledge, |
would dictate his claiming
that he did not know
The fact is, when the dentist courted |
his wife be courted her wooden leg
and all. and when he married her he
married wooden leg and all
The family should stand smillngly
Oh its three legs and pay the Dhysi-
Clans bill.
