1.-THE Coolest Head In the World
Seen at Keith's Boston Theater
This Week.

This distinction has been given to
Harry De Coo, the Englishman, who
startled London by his wonderful
feats of balancing. De Coe places
four tables, one on top of the other,
and on top of this he places two
chairs he climbs to the top of this
rickety heap and in the most incred-
table manner manages to put third
chair on top of the two already there.
Then climbing up on the tables he
balances fourth chair, and not only
that but he sits on it and smokes a
cigarette.

EnERY & KINDS.

You know that the value of any article
is based solely on what it can be
bought for in the open market.
Pianos or low quality are sold without re-
gard to any fixed price principle, and unfor-
tunately, the uniformed and unsuspecting
purchaser, gets an inferior instrument much
to his disappointment and loss.
How is a piano purchaser to be safe and
sure In making a purchase? To the man.
woman, or young person about to purchase
a piano we would say: This store points to
the straight, safe road. We handle only RE-
LIABLE GOODS. On this point there Is no
question. Our unlimited guarantee which Is
behind every piano we SELL is An absolute
protection for every purchaser. We recon-
mend the MERRILL PIANOS beCause we
are familiar with the details of Its manu-
facture, and the many thousands OF these
instruments which have been sold In New
England,-a goodly number OF them by us,
to satisfied purchasers, speaks volumes for
the reliability of the instrument.

Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, the attack can always
be averted. Even after the croupy
cough has appeared, the attack can be

remedy. 1t is a certain cure for Group
