And to make, to the prospective piano

that have made this THE LARGEST RE-
TAIL PIANO BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH
WEST
And to help you determine whether you will act
wisely in following the lead of thousands of satisfied
patrons
We present the following group of FACTS:
Everything is either great or small, good, bad or
different, only by comparison. In no other way
able to judge actual values and intelligent
comparisons impossible where stocks are limit
ed. The quality and unequaled extent of our stock
of Pianos and Talking Machines is immensely sat
isfying to the most exactng buyer. Is it an in
justice to the intelligent customer, the careful buy
er, to offer her or him selection from an incom-
pete stock of merchandise No purchase during
ones entire lifetime demands and is worthy of
more thorough investigation and more exacting
comparisons than the in which musical instru-
ment is involved. Our arrangement has done away
with everything mysterious about piano buying;
reduced it to the simple matter of selecting what is
best for your home; choosing between pianos
quring the investment of large sum and those
moderate in price. The lowest in price and the
moderate placed side by side with the most ex-
pensve in store, thus avoiding all confusion as
to make, grade and price and offering opportun-
ity for comparison as to action, tone and desirable
ity. While Los Angeles people have been appre-
cative of our efforts to please them, hardly be-
leve that they realize that in other in the
southwest you find such a magnificent array of
the worlds best instruments.
We absolutely know any of these instru-
ments will satisfy you and without peer in the
musical world at the price at which they marked
The purchase of a new or used Piano or Talking
Machine is such an important matter, and or
less costly, that the prospective buyer should not
run even the smallest chance of being disappointed
or of losing his money. We have had twenty years
practical piano experience in buying and selling and
not being tied up to any manufacturers product
leaves us free to select the best; thus expert
opinion follows the investment of our money
We have selected various makes after nearly quar-
ter century of sitting and changing. The tremendous
success of this and the great satisfaction that
comes to purchasers here attribute to two things
Firstly-Our answering adherence to principle
absolute right and the unvaryng high quality of the
instruments we sell; secondly-One price, and that
gether with the broad and extensive scale upon
which the display of instruments has always
been conducted. Remember, every instrument new
or used is sold under absolute guarantee and
NAV be exchanged at the full price paid us for new
instrument any time within two years.

every child will make musician or at least.

value to themselves and those about them
through life. But how many bright children
there are in this city who have never had a.
chance or any encouragement owing to the
absence of a piano in the home! This is some
thing for parents to think about 1t has been
said that nine out of every ten women in after
life make no use of their school education, but
if they have a little knowledge of music it
broadens with life, and, fguratively speaking,
becomes key to every door.

A Riddle-Who Can Answer?

The following unique and ingenious rid
die was published in the old Richmond
Dispatch about Is years ago. before its
consideration with the Times. 1t was
given to US by friend recently, and we
have pleasure in publishing it. The
authors name was not given but we are
sure the reader will agree with us in say
ing it is production to which the writer
need not have hesitated to attach his
name.-GoLD LEAF.
Adam, God made out of dust but thought
it best to make me first:
So | vas made before the man, to answer
Gods most holy plan.
My body God did make complete, but with
out arms or legs or feet;
Ny ways and acts he did control, but to my
body gave no soul.
A living being | became, and Adam gave to
me my name.
From his presence then withdrew, and more
of Adam never knew.
did my Makers law obey, nor from it ever
went astray:
Thousands of miles | go in fear. but seldom
on the earth appear.
For purpose wise, which God did see, he put
a living soul in me;
soul from me my God did claim, and took
from me my soul again,
For when from me that soul had fed, was
the same az when first made,
And without hands or feet or soul, / trave
on from pole to pole;
labor hard by day and night, to fallen maj
give great light.
Thousands of people, young and old, will by
my death great light behold
No right nor wrong can conceive. the Scrip

Although my name therein is found, they are
TO me empty sound.
No fear of death doth trouble me; real happi

Honor Worthily Bestowed.

The appointment of Dr. c. Alphonso
Smith, of the University Of North
Carolina, to be Roosevelt professor
of American history and institutions
at the University of Berlin during the
year 1901 is an honor and an
opportunity for service most worth

sors in this professorship were such
men AS Dean Burgess. of Columbia;
President Hadley, of Yale; Professor
Felix, of Columbia, and President
Wheeler. of the University of Califor-

in the Judgment of Columbia Univer-
sity, which has the nominating
power, a representative Southern
scholar may be as representatively
American as scholars from any other
section. A most inspiring lecturer,
he will fill the Berlin post very fully.

A Toast to Woman.
ElkdOnn.

Elkdom.
This beautiful toast to woman
was originally given by man who
had been a hard drinker, but who
had turned from the wine cup and
become one of the lights of the legal
profession. The occasion was a
banquet in PHILADELPHIA on April II +,
1881. 1t is as follows: l should
like to propose a toast tonight, al
though a total abstinence man my
self toast to woman. To be drunk,
not in liquor of any kind, for we
should never pledge a woman in that
which may bring her husband reel
ing home to abuse where he should
love and cherish, sends her sons to a
drunkard's grave, and her daughters
to life of shame. Oh, no, not in
that, but rather in the life giving
water pure as her chastity, clear as
her institutions, bright as her smile,
sparkling as the laughter of her eyes,
cheering as her consolation, strong
and sustaining as her love-in the
crsytal water | would drink to her
that she would remain queen regent
to the empire she has rlready won,
grounded deep as the universe in
love; built up and exercised in the
home and hearts of the world; l
drink to her, the full blown flower of
creations coming, of which man
was but the bud and blossom, to her
who in childhood clasps our hands
and teaches us to lisp the first sweet
prayer to the Great All Father, who
comes to us in youth with good
counsel and advice, who in manhood
meets our heart yearnings with the
faithfulness of conjugal love, and
whose hand, when our feet go down
in the shallow, gently smoothes the
rough pillow OF death as none other
can; to her who is the flower of flowers,
the pearl of pearls, Gods latest, best
and brightest gift to man-woman,
peerless, pure, sweet, royal woman.

Clean Money a Good Advertisement
for the Banks.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Through theenterprise of the Char
lotte banks. dish rag paper money
has about disappeared from circula-
ton in this section. The banks give
out clean, crisp new notes, when pa
per money is desired, or If the GUS
toner prefers, he gets gold or silver.
But paper money is the circulating
medium and the disappearance of
dirty money makes it all the more
popular. One does not now have to
90 to New York to see clean paper
money. The kind that comes fresh
from the printing press, that crackles
as it is counted and that has no
germs in it, is handed out over the
counters of the Charlotte banks every
day. OF course, a new bill has no
more face value than an old and rag
ged one, but it adds to mans COM
tort to handle clean money. The
patching up Of worn out bills with
coat plaster, so long prevalent in the
South, is now a lost art. The banks
are too progressive to pass out such
currency. As a matter of accommo-
dation, they take in such bills and at
their OVID expense, forward them to
the Treasury and have them ex-
changed. The people are getting in
the habit OF running TO the bank
that passes out clean money and in
that way the banks are finding it an
advertisement that pays.

There is something in the life of
Joel Chandler Harris which facinates
U.S. Of lowly, if not obscure, parent
age; facing poverty in his boyhood
days and denied the advantages of a
college or a high school; educating
himself in the scholastic atmosphere
of a country home in which he made
his living at a cOmpOsitor's desk;
drinking in the sweet inspiration of
nature as he developed his mind and
supported bis widowed mother; leap
ing at an early age into the exciting
arena of journalism; acquiring in Il
few years a reputation for literary
genius and riginal insight into the
mysteries and glories of Gods "Out-
Of-Doors;" wearing through all the
days of his prosperity as a garment an
innate modesty; preferring the song
of the mocking- bird in the cedars TO
the applause of theworld; going down
the lane of years with the smile OF
the morning on his face and the
sweetness of simple. reverential
spirit in his heart; at last gathering
the draperies of his couch about him
and going to his last home. leaving
behind him as soothing benedictiOn
the words of peace and hope-truly,
his life is full of inspiration.
Dr. James W. Lee, OF Atlanta, never
used his pen with greater power and
more striking grace than in his treat
