NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY

If some our subscribers should fail
to get the BANNER in the near future
il will possibly be due to the fact that
they are in arrears for one year or
more on payments for the same.
"Uncle Sam" which cognomen means
the postotfice department at Washing
ton, will refuse TO carry the papers
for any great length of time TO sub
scribers who are more than one year
in arrears with out the payment of
extra postage. We would dislike very
much TO ask our subscribers TO pay
the postage which our Uncle Samuel
demands, but we are simply unable to
put up the amount at the present
time, and do not care to establish the
precedent of such generosity on our
part TO Uncle Sam or our subscribers.
January l, 1910, is fast approaching
when very large number of subscrip-
tons expire, and now would be an
opportune time To meet that date with
dollar or more and satisfy our wants

THE HENDERSON PIANO
Made y Ann Arbor Organ Co., Does Justice To Reputation
Held By University "Bayreuth of America"

Michigan has attained such promi-
hence that about one-fourth of all the
piano factories in the western states are
now located in Michigan, where the in
dustry has had rapid development,
but nowhere greater than in Ann
Arbor, the home of the Henderson
piano. Nor is this to be wondered at
Time was, not many years ago, when
musical culture was at low ebb in
Ann Arbor, but all this has been
changed and nowhere in the
country do the greatest artists
of the old world, as well as of
the new, meet with more apprecia-
tive receptions. In fact, Ann Arbor
is now known as the greatest music
loving center of the west Madam
Schumann-Heinke has dubbed il the
{" Bayreuth of America. 1t is no
wonder, then, that such high grade
piano as the Henderson should find a
congenal soil for rapid and substan-
tial development, and that its name
is known for quality from coast TO
coast.
A Modest Start.
The Henderson piano is made by the
Ann Arbor Organ Co., which, started
in small way in 1872 TO manufacture
organs. In 1883 the company was
incorporated. At first the organs made
in one-story shop were sold one at a
| time in the surrounding country. But
trade grew and larger building was
demanded and still a larger. Finally
| the field seemed ripe for high grade
| piano, and the Henderson resulted. A
| splendid business was rapidly devel.
| oped, in order to handle which the
| Ann Arbor Organ Co. added TO its al
| ready extensive plant a tive-stOry adj
dition of 1900 square feet increase
In spite of this the popularity of the

WISE HORSE CAUSE OF
EX-DRIVERS ARREST

Philadelphia-An intelligent horse
which knew its masters business was
responsible for the arrest yesterday
of James Davenport, who Is accused
by his former employer, Stedling b,
Johnson, of sol Alden lane, Mount
Airy, of embezzling money for the last
year.
The horse draws one of Johnson's
milk wagons. Davenport, until a
short time ago, drove the animal.
When Davenport quit Johnson him
self undertook to serve his customers.
On the first morning he was sur
prised when the horse stopped at
many places where he was positive he
had no customers. Frequently the
animal tried to turn aside from the
route. Wondering, Johnson used his
whip freely, but before the end of the
morning a light broke on him.
Next day he left the horse follow
its own free will. At the first house
II stopped he made inquiries. He
found, he says, that Davenport had
been serving milk there for weeks
and had been collecting for 1t. al
though he says none of the money
had been turned over to him. When
he had completed his route Johnson
swore out a warrant.-Philadelp

to the snow storm which put all tele-

The reason I am so sure of the date
is because I came very near losing
a position which I was to take here,
as l was unable to get here on time
because of the blockade.
"But while l came near losing my
position. there was one fellow here
who benefited by the blockade. He
was a man by the name of William
Casper the man for whom 1 went to
work after the storm.
Someone had unloaded a big lot
of winter horse goods onto him which
had been purchased on time. The
bill became due just before the storm
came. He was unable to pay the ac-
count. but owing to the storm and the
blockade the fellow suddenly ceased
to lay awake nights, for he was right
