THAT POSTAL DEFICIT.

Referring in his message to the
postal deficit President Taft called
attention To- the appropriateness of

ed is one cent a pound. yet the aver
age cost OF carrying this class Of mat
ter Is nine cents a pound From "A
hasty reading Of what the President
said the inference would seem to be
that the more second class mail matt

the larger would be the deficit. In
reality however, this inference would
be- unJustifed by the facts Neither is
,t just To speak Of newspapers as a
class as subsidized by reason OF the

mail matter in which they are in

" newspaper men were questioned
on the subject of what causes the

later he took up with and was married
morganatically to Nine. van Langen-
donck. whose first husband was said
TO have been coalheaver. He con-
ferred upon her the title OF Baroness
Vaughan and installed her i'm hand
some residence near the royal palace
at brussels. ON November Il. 1905,
the baroness gave birth 10 boy and
it has been reported that King Leopold
entertained the idea OF making this son
his successor on the throne.
Legitimate Heir to Throne.
The legitimate heir To the throne is
Prince Albert of Flanders. only son of
the late Count of Flanders. brother to
King Leopold. He was born April s.
1875. His elder brother. the Prince
Baldwin before mentioned who had
been recognized as his uncle. King
Leopold's heir died at house in Brus-
sells under mysterious circumstances,
much like those in which the death of
the Crown Prince Of Austria, Prince
Rudolph, was involved.
The marriage OF Prince Albert TO
the Duchess Elizabeth. third daughter
Of Duke Charles of Bavaria. october 2.
1900 caused great rejoicing and enthu-
siasm in Belgium. When a son and
heir presumptive to the throne was
born, NOV. 3. 1901, the manifestations
OF pleasure lin Brussels showed that
the royal couple possess a strong hold
on the affections of the Belgians. A
second son. Prince Charles, was born
to the people, oct. 10, 1903
Anent Prince Albert.
Prince Albert was very delicate at
the time of his brothers death, but he
grew up to be a tall, soldierly man,
well built and with a face inclined to
be chubby. He is said to be unusually
studious, but at the same time he is
neither a recluse nor a bookworm. He
has been an extensive traveller, and has
visited not only every court in Europe,
but most of the great centers of in
dustry i'm the old world He made
many friends in America during his
visit in 1898, when he spent some three
months making acquaintance with
American institutions and in filling a
round of private social engagements at
Newport and other centers.
Princess Albert possesses an engag
ing disposition. She is a great sports
woman an excellent rider, good cyclist
and automoblist. No dynastic reasons
into her marriage with the heir
to the Belgian throne. In fact, the
ducal branch of the Bavarian royal line
is of no particular eminence. Since
their marriage the young couple have
resided at the magnificent Hotel d'As-
sche, i'm Brussels.

The end Of our great piano sale is
here. If you do not get in before
Christmas and select your instrument
you will lose the greatest piano pur-
chasing opportunity of the year.
Never since we have been i'm bust
ness in Calumet have we been forced
to sell our new pianos at less than
our regular prices, but this year is an
exception.
The amount of pianos that were
crowded upon us by the closing of one
of our Upper Peninsula stores was
more than we could handle in con-
nectlon with our own regular stock,
which we had already ordered and re-
ceived. Therefore so as not to be
over-stocked all through the winter
we had to cut deeply into the
price and the result has been the
greatest opportunity to buy fine pianos
at wonderfully low prices and easy
terms that this territory has ever seen
You can have no idea how beauti-
full display of pianos we have on
our floors until you have seen them.

little cost to you
You arc only one of thousand
people who will read this statement
that have been planning for years
to own piano, but have never felt
quite able TO pay the price of a good
piano.
This, then is your chance. Not only
can you get a good piano, but you also
ge- it at a price that is lower than
ordinarily asked for pianos of second
grade.
There is no need of our explaining
any further about the cause of this
sale. You all know it. You also know
that every piano that comes from the
Cable Piano factories is a perfect in
s-rument and that they are all fully
guaranteed for ten years.
Back of that guarantee stands the
Cable Co, the greatest piano manu-
facturers the world has ever seen.
Operating their large factories, with
large stores and agencies all over
the civilized world, capitalized at mil
lions OF dollars, and using that i'm

riRElY alone.

LEOPOLD.

King Leopold, world loathed crea-
ture, is dead. There is a terrible les
son in the career of this monarch. the
lesson of a grsat opportunity spurned,
OF a high trust betrayed because OF
greed Of gold. When the nations OF
the earth rendered him the Congo il
was within his power 10 bring enlight-
eminent and prosperity to 10000, 900
oppressed and benighted human be-
ings. Judged by his philanthropic and
humane ideals Leopold was just the
ruler 10 plunge fundamentally into
this great task for the joy of humanity
and the glory Of God. But what a fall
there was, a fail deeper than Lucifers;
for once the favored monarch grasped
the possibilities of the boundless wealth
which the Congo could pour into his
private Golfers the angel within him
turned 20 demon and all his high pur-
pose changed TO sordid greed. He
checked in every way the hand of pro-
gress and converted the land into a
veritable hell OF human woe and mis-
cry.
As Leopold sank deeper and deeper
into the aureate mire Of the Congo, he
gradually lost all sense of shame and
dccency in private life. He became a
rouc and debauchee. who outraged the
sanctity OF his home
lie has paid the price. For gold he
bartered every ideal everything that
man holds dear and sacred every pos
sibility Of serving humanity and his
Maker Morally and spiritually he has
long been dead.
