The First Consideration in Piano buvino

Very often the question of quality is placed
second to the question of price by piano buyers
they guess the quality is all right if the price
is attractive, never seemingly giving much
thought to the fact that without good quality
the price can never be right--nO matter how
low the cost
piano should prove Musical Instrument
If it does not so prove, the money invested
is wasted.

FREDERIC REMINGTON DEAD
Famous Artist Succumbed 10 Heart
Failure md Shock after Opera
ton for Appendicitis.

RidGefeld. Conn. Dec. o6.-Fredcrick
Remington, the artist, died at his home
here to-day from heart failure and shock,
siperinduced by Ell operation for appcn-
Gicitis performed on Thursday.
Ny. Remington had been in good health
lsst Sunday when ne remarked that he
seemed slightly ~indisposeh. It was not
until Wednesday that he suffered pain to
any extent and physicians were called.
Thai night it was deemed wise to call
in n New York specialist and the next
day an operation for appendicitis was
performed. Tho patient seemed to os
progressing favorably FRIDAY and yes
to-day but this morning n change set in
and death came about $50.
Mr.. Remington came here last May to
make this his permanent home. lie vas
In his 18th year, was a native Of Canton.
". y, to which place the bo0y will be
taken tomorrow afternoon following
prayers at the house. The funeral serv-
ice will he in the Universalist Church at
Canton at two O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Remington married Miss Eva Cation
of Gloversville, n. Y, who survives him.
Frederic Remington went Vest after
a short apprenticeship as an office
clerk and became a cowboy on a ranch.
1t was in this western life that he
found the subjects for a majotity of
his creations of pencil and brush.
He was a member Of the National
Academy of Design and in addition to
his painting s. he attained considerable
success at sculpture and as author Of
several books on western life. He
studied art at Yale and later in New
York.
Mr.. Remington's father. Col. Samuel
+. Remington. was a distinguished SOL
der in the Civil War and at one time an
editor in Ogdensburg, n. Y. Young Fred.
eric received his early education at the
Vermont Episcopal Institute. Burlington,
VT. from which he entered Yale. The
brief business career which he abandoned
proved unattractive in view Of his greater
desire to become an artist.
I From childhood he had been at heart
an artist and his latent talent was awaA.
ened by the virile subjects which he
encountered after going West. Return
ing to New York with depleted finances,
he gained fame by his strong sketches OF
cowboy life. Indians. miners. Mexicans
and frontier soldiers. He created a new
school and had perhaps lone more than
life incident to the %conquerlng of the
West.
Physically he was of powerful guild and
WAS in rugged health most Of the time.
The few works which he contributed to
literature indicate that he might have
been an author Of note had ne desired.

OUTLOOK
IN MAIN BRIGHT
Advance in Cotton in Line with
General Tendency Of Higher
Prices.

New York. Dec. A.-IJun's Review will
say tomorrow: The general business
situation presents a somewhat mixed APP
pearance though there IL no fundamental
change in conditions. the outlook being
in the main exceedingly bright. The
recent advance OF cotton to above 1S cents
for the May option was one of the
incidents OF the week and Ia in line with
the general tendency Of higher prices, due
both to the heavy gold output and to the
fact that production Of commodities Is
not increasing in equal .Atio to the
consumptive demands Of a rapidly grow
Ing population in a time Of wonderful
wealth. The iron and steel trade Is active
with orders on hand reaching six months
ahead but the rapidity Of its growth in
volume and buoyancy has been checked
for the time being. The dry goods trade
IL excellent for the season though COM
plicated by the high prices Of raw
materials. Railroads earnings show Al
per cent. gain over 1905, while bank ex.
changes are 3e per cent. better in New
York and 2l.0 better outside Of the
financial center.

United States are 10 agains ESQ last

New York, Dec. 24.-Rradstreet's State
Of Trade Will say Tomorrow: Holiday
trade has occupied the center Of the stag e
this week. Shopping every where except
perhaps in part. OF the South has been
Of exceptionally heavy proportions. A
number OF cities report a record volume
Of business and in practically every place
turn over greatly exceeds tina Of 1908.
Regular retail trade in winter weigh,
goods has also been stimulated by crisp
weather and trade in the country dis
tricts has improved. country roads being
in better shape.
On the other hand wholesale trade has
turned quieter, statesmen being of the
road with stock taking under way. Man
ufacturers are also inventoring or else
preparing to do so, therefore Industrial
lines are relatively less active though or
ders for finished steel continued in sur
prlsinsly heavy volume.
The wheat crop has been helped by
snow and the plant enters the winter in
good shape to Withstand the hardshius of
an ordinary season. Increased plan'ings
have been very general.
Money is easy at points contiguous 10
the agricultural regions but ratec are
frmer In the East and banks look for a
continuance Of profitable figures for some
time to come. Increased dividends are a
noteworth feature Of the financial eitua-
ton.

A NOVEL FARM.
Iowa Man Makes Good Profit From 4
Herd OF Deer.

(Des Moines Letter to Y. Y. SUM

1t is operated by John W. Griggs, a
hunter and rapper OF pioneer days, who
has a herd of 100 deer. from which he
yearly realizes a good profit. Grigss's

years. First he reared wolves, then wild
geese, then antelope. then elk and now
deer. He began IS years ago with a pair
Of Virginia deer. and has experimental
with white tails, black tails and other
hybrids, but the climate OF Iowa has
evolved a type of the northern deer az
the breed hardy enough for all purposes.
GrigEs pays as much attention to the
breeding Of the deer as the average farm
er does to the breeding OF his horses.
This is necessary to present inbreeding.

is In November, the fawns are born in
May or June and by fall the spots have
all left the fawns and their normal coat

Deer In captivity breed as well as in
the wild state. Young does usually give
birth to a single fawn, but the older does
usually have twins. Last yeap Grlggs's
