Impossible, YOU say? Let US prove it at
our expense. We viii teach you to play
the piano or organ and VIII not ask one
cent until you can play.
A musical genius from Chicago has
Just invented a wonderful system whereby
anyone can learn to play the Piano or
Organ in one hour. With this new method
you don't have to know one note from
another, yet in an hour of practice you
can be playing the popular music with all
the fingers of both hands and playing it
well.
The invention is SO simple that even a
child can now master music without costly
instruction. Anyone can have this new
method on a free trial merely by asking.
Simply write, saying, Send me the Easy
Form Music Method as announced in
The Pensacola Journal
The complete system together. with 100
pieces of music will then be sent to you
Free, all charges prepaid and absolutely not
one cent to pay. You keep it seven days 70
thoroughly prove it is all that is claimed
for 1t, then If you are satisfied, send Us s.. so
and one dollar a month until $3.50 in all
is paid. Ii You are not delighted with 1t,
send 1t back in seven days and you Will
have rissed nothing and Will be under no
obligations TO US.

STA and England We're to be disap-
pointed in their long cherished hopes
of partitioning Persia. Then Russia
made certain demands, and the Per-
sian prime minister ordered Shuster
to recede, but he refused, and those
who know him have no doubt that he
will leave his post rather than YIELD
q single point. Shuster went to Cuba
during the Spanish-American war,
stayed there during the days of inter
vention and then went to the Philip
pines as collector of customs at Ma
Mia He then became secretary Of
public instruction in the Philippines
and stayed there until 1909, when he
returned to Washington, studied law
and was admitted to the bar. He was
practicing law when Persia asked
President Taft to recommend man
for the post of treasurer general.
