Another of New York's great pi-
amos, the Steinway, is now offered
for sale at Eilers Music House
equipped with the genuine Pianola
AS in the case of the Weber a
few years ago, the decision of the
Steinway, based as it had to be
solely upon the question of merit,
had to come in favor of the Piano.
la, in spite of often repeated state
ments to the contrary.
In Player Piano the player
mechanism is fundamental.
1t is a serious mistake to select
an instrument of this type solely
on the reputation of the piano
alone. No matter how high the
standing of the piano, no matter
how excellent its tone the mo-
ment it becomes inseparably unit
ed with any player other than the
Planola, the value of the instru-
ment as whole is deprecated.
This is because the player rep
fesents the character of music
produced. Who would choose to
attend a concert given by an indif-
ferent amateur, when on the same
evening one of the great masters
plays?
The success of the Pianola Pr
ano has been positively phenomen-
al. 1t was instantly accorded rec
ognition in the highest musical
and social circles. 1t has been
said that the Pianola Piano plant
was the only one of the great
American piano factories which
did not experience any decline in
orders and in output during the
many months of depression from
which the country has only re-
Gently emerged so splendidly.

Tacoma and the N. p. tracks 20
Portland are all in and the line

AUTO NOT POPULAR VEHICLE
Madrid One Of the Capitals of the
World Where Horses Have
the Preference.

Vive-Consul Summers, writing
from Madrid, says concerning the
use of automobiles and carriages in
the capital of Spain: ''For the last
four or five years the use of automo-
biles in Madrid has almost over
Swallowed the carriage trade. Auto
mobiles became fashionable, both for
excursion purposes and for use in
the city. 1t was argued that their
running expenses would be less than
the maintenance of horses and car
rlages. This, however, has proved a
mistake, as far as Madrid is con-
cerned, as repairs and separate pieces
are very expensive, owing to high
duties, freight, commission, trans
portatlon, etc., very much the great
er number of the machines being of
foreign manufacture. Then the
price of gasoline is double what it is
in France. The consequence is an
automobile crisis, and many persons
are selling their machines very
cheaply to get rid of them, while the
carriage and horse trade, on the
other hand, is looking up"

ONE MORE PRECIOUS STONE
California County Comes Forward
with Addition to the Ranks
of Rarities.

San Benito county, California,
has given its name to a new candi-
date for admission to the circle OF
the precious stones-''benitoite." 1t
is of sapphire color, hard and re-
markedly brilliant. Chemists say it
is "silico-tnanate of baryum." 1t
is found in rock pockets and in
goodies associated with natrolite and
a hitherto unknown black mineral
called carlosite. During 1907 beni-
tote made its first entry into the re-
port of the geological survey on the
precious stones of the United States.
The value of the uncut stones found
in that year was $1,000. In the
same year Arkansas produced $4,000
worth of diamonds. The leading
precious stone in America in value
of production is tourmalin, of which
$S4,120 worth was put upon the
market in 1907. But it weighed a
ton.-Youth's Companion.

By the Scarlet
Poppies

Declarens had climbed ON the
street car without fully realizing
where it was going. 1t did not much
matter, for any direction leading out
from the big southern California
city was certain to carry one to
pleasant regions.
For time, until they had cleared
the city streets, he amused himself
wondering if he were bound for the
shore or for the mountains. At last
the car swerved and he settled back
with sigh. 1t was the mountains,
and in his soul he preferred them.
The restless surge of the ocean
vaguely annoyed him. 1t touched
the raw nerves in his brain that had
trembled and thrilled to the similar
tumult of business life until his in
cipient breakdown had sent him
west post haste under doctors or
ders to idle and amuse himself. He
smiled trife sarcastically at the
thought.
The mountains, so still, so eternal
and nontipped with their cool green
canyons and crystal-aired heights,
touched him with an actual sense of
a quoting hand laid on his fore
head. The perfume from orange
groves assailed his nostrils and no
rioting breeze disturbed the scenery
which he amusedly thought was like
stage setting in its vivid coloring.
Above all it was quiet. He was
just beginning to realize how
blessed that was. A memory of the
roar of city streets and offices caused
his nervous face to contract as with
pain. Suddenly, as he still gazed at
the mountains steadily nearing, he
thought of Selma.
She stood out before his eyes as
distinctly as on that last day, Is

with choice furniture, rare marbles,

purchase the land. The premier
line was first opened and the great
