ence of your pianos this second and last
transatlantic) season has throughout con-
firmed myself in the opinion l expressed
last year, ars.: that sound and touch of the
Knabe Pianos are more sympathetic to my
ears and hands than sound and touch of
any other pianos in the United States. AS
l met with frequent opportunities of es-
tabllshlng comparisons between knabe
Pianos and instruments of rivalizing or
would-rivalizing producers, l dare now
add that l declare them the absolutely best
in America With sincere regards, yours
truly, DIR. HANS Won BULow"
Few stop to think or realize what an abb
solutely perfect piano means to a great
artist concertizing the length and breadth
of a vast country, where he is stranger
in which he is then living, the one friend
that completely understands and faith
fully responds to his every thought and
emotion.
All the world of friends and associa-
tions in which he has lived in his home
land left far behind, his chosen make of
piano, speaking under his fingers in city
after city, receiving his last confidence at
night and his first in the morning, be-
comes a living, breathing thing to him;
it's companionship is the best-beloved in
all that trying period.
Because of these things, great artist,
especially great artist of Won Biilow's
type, becomes most exacting; having but
one close friend, that friend must COM
bine all the projections to be absolutely
sympathetic, must be capable of realizing
his loftiest ideals, his tenderest flights of
fancy. And all these supreme exactions
of Won Btilow the Knabe Pianos met, sur
passing, in the "frequent opportunities

Won Bulow bestow upon his best FRIEND

ONE hears much of the enormous military

the other great Powers; but what of the
smallest armies of the world? The most
diminutive is that of the principality of Monaco,
numbering seventy-fve guards, seventy-fye
carbineers and twenty firemen. Next comes
Luxembourg, with one hundred and thirty-fve
gendarmes one hundred and seventy volun
teers, and thirty-nine musicians
In the little Republic of San Marine the
Government stands ready to place in the field
fifty men and thirty eight officers, commanded
by a marshal. On peace footing" this
Republic can place only one company of sixty
men on the parade ground.
In the Republic of Liberia an amusing
feature of the military organization is the pro-
portion of officers to privates there being
some eight hundred of the former and only
nine hundred of the latter. Nevertheless. the
Black Republic in the event of the declaration
of war, promptly issues its proclamation of
neutrality as between the Powers of Europe.

R EN- AR K A BL e
ATHLETES
By w. R. G. Latson. M. d.

E athlete is always interesting. In
all ages he has commanded the
interest and admiration of his fell
lows. Rough pictures scratched on
stone by primeval man, pictures
made long before the invention
of writing, show that even in those
early days there was appreciation
of physical powers.
The myths of the early ages are
crowded with stories of the mag
niicent feats achieved by their
heroes. There was Hercules, whose
character and achievements are
said to have been drawn from the
Judaic hero, Samson Like Samson,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-03-21

Hercules slew lion with his hands, conquered
armies single handed. and accomplished many
cues, Antinous, Paris, and other O1ympian
heroes are, of course, purely mythical and
allegorical, and are mentioned here merely to
show the early interest and appreciation of
physical powers.
At later period we have records of athletic
feats which. while often inaccurate, un-
doubtedly based on actual fact. These feats
are often referred to by unthinking or unin-
formed people as being UNNECESSARILY beyond
what the modern athlete could accomplish.
But, when closely examined and stripped of
their obviously mythical trimmings" the
achievements of the ancient athletes are
usually found to have been quite commonplace
and credible.
Milo's Spectacular Peat
TAKE for instance the story of Milo. the most
famous athlete of ancient times Milo's most
spectacular feat was to take on his back four
year-old heifer and carry it round the stadium
Now, the animal may have weighed anywhere
from four hundred to eight hundred pounds:
and the distance round the stadium we know
to have been exactly two hundred and twenty
yards that is, one-eight of mile.
Whether this story is true, no one can tell
be; for the feat is by no means incredible or
even unique. The Turkish porters of Con-
stantinople frequently make long journeys
bearing on their shoulders weight of six
hundred pounds. which is quite as much or
even more than Milo's burden is said to have
been.
1t is further told that after Milo had fin
ished his circuit of the stadium with his bovine
burden, he killed the animal with single blow
of his fist. If it is assumed that his blow was
struck with his bare fist, the story is rather
too much for belief. The Greek boxers, how
ever, always used the cestus, bulky apparatus
not unlike the boxing glove but extending
nearly to the elbow and heavily weighted with
lead. Armed with such weapon. any good
heavyweight .pugilst like Sullivan, Jeffries.. or
Sharkey would have little difficulty in Staying
a cow with a single blow. So, after all. the

They want to know what you think
about it. We are not urging the

ton to figure on some other very
