THE PIANoFoRTE EXPLAINED

Mary and Peter had ever seen. "Bain't
him cruel, noisy thing?" exclaimed
Mary. what dye call 'en?" she asked
a small, sncient, dried-up man who sat
beside her. The old man tried to ex-
plain, which was thing he was fa-
nous for doing. He was superannu-
ated schoolmaster Of the nearly extinct
type, the kind who knew nothing and
taught as much, but brave, learned
man, according to some of the old
folks.
"That there box" said the master,
with an air of diving deep in the we'll
of wisdom, hem full O. wires and
hammers"

O. wires and hammers! Dye hear,
Peter? Il
Her brother replied in the affirm
ative, although in manner which
suggested that the information was su-
perfiuous.
Folks hit them bones, and the bones
dra' on the hammers, and the ham
mers hit the wires," proceeded the
master.
"Bain't that artful. nowi" cried
Mary.
Sure 'nough," agreed Peter, unable
to restrain his admiration.
Couldn't you MAX one o. they?
Youm main cruel larned WI your

Peter admitted that was 50. Given
the material, he had no doubt of his
ability to turn out piano capable OF
producing that music which his sister
described as "cruel noisy"
"Tt taketh a scholard to understand
how to max theythings," corrected the
master, with some severity. "See all

You couldn't du that, and the piano
wouldn't max no music II 'twasn't for

PUNcTUALITY.
1t Has It's Disagreeable Side Just an
Everything Else Has.


1t Has It's Disagreeable side Just an
Everything Else Has.
So much is said about the virtue OF
punctuality that people who go In for
it to any great extent are exceedingly
uppish and disagreeable. Punctuality
has its bad side, just as everything
else has. People should remember
this. If they are on time they only
serve to throw into embarrassing re-
lief the poor souls who come hurry
ing up ten minutes late. 1t is SNUG
to be precisely punctual 1t is rails
ing yourself above the rest Of man
kind, refusing to partake in its frail-
ties. The ideal thing from the point
of view of courtesy to others and de-
cent humility about your own attain
ments is to be always ten minutes
late, or at least to appear so.
If you are to meet at the package
office in the Grand Central station at
o'clock, sit quietly in the middle
of the hall until IL minutes after 4;
then when you have seen the other
person dash up, followed by painting,
porters and fairly dripping with ex-
plantations, wait until the arrival has
had second In which to recover self
respect and stroll up with remark
on Timbuctoo or the best way to cul-
tivate carrots. This will insure your
popularity and show you to be per-
son of kindlipess and forethought. AT
any rate, it is better than a pitiless
standing at the place where you said
you would be, your superiority in
creasing every minute, and confront
ing, upbraiding silently, the person
who promised to meet you because you
appeared a rather ljkable sort, but
who finds you in your panoply of pune.
tuality the very reverse of likable.
For be it remembered that just as
some people cannot be on time, Others
cannot, to save their skins, be late.
So that they deserve not whit of
credit for 1t and should, in fact, be
reprimanded when they do 1t osten-
tatiously and In public.
The theaters have formed charm
ing habit of sending up the curtain
Just fifteen minutes after the time
stated, which by punctual members of
the audience is considered shocking,
for 1t permits the late arrivals to set
tie comfortably in their seats and say
to the members of their family, who
fumed and fused and had silly idea
that the time to get to the theater was
at the hour suggested in the papers,
Nov, you see, here we are in perfect
time; couldn't be better" which
arouses the worse nature of the pune

Why He Hadn't Tried II.

The party was encamped on the Beal
river in eastern Utah, when a pros
pector came along one morning ON a

ever, he halted and grufiy queried:
How fur to Salt Lake?"
Three hnndred miles"
"Humph!"
Travelled far?"
About 200 miles"
Get your jaw hurt?"
"No; it's just an internal toothache,
and I'm a-riding Ave hundred miles to
get It pulled"
We invited him down, and one of the
crowd got piece Of string round the
tooth and jerked 1t out as quick as you
please. After the oveejoyed man had
ceased dancing about inquired:
why didn't you try the string be-
fore starting out on such long ride?"
"Best kind of reason, sir, / hadn't
nary string"
