A SURE SHOT.

We have never been more cer-

we are that Hon. John T. Michel
will succeed Jared Young San

We feel confident that he will
be triumphantly elected in the
first primary.
His political enemies, after a
most searching scrutiny have
found his record clean and above
His zeal, honesty and efficiency
in Office give assurance that his
administration will be most sat

life are without a single stain,
his ability unquestioned. It is
not surprising, therefore, that the
Michel candidacy is steadily grow

Now contrast the regular method
of selling pianos with this cooperation
plan.
In the first place, on this plan. a $50
dollar piano does not cost you $50 dol
lars or anywhere near $50 dollars.
A $50 dollar piano costs you, during
this cooperative sale, 24S dollars and
IS cents-giving you clean cut saving,
at the very start, of 1Ol dollars and rs
cents.
Instead of having to pay $50 dollars
Fin 80 months (the usual terms) you are
gallowed As months to pay 24S dollars
and Is cents.
= Do you see the difference this makes?
On this cooperation plan, you are
given ~ months longer time in which to
pay lOl dollars and 25 cents less money.
AS to the interest THERE is no
interest to be added to the price.
The price is 24s dollars and Is cents
and no more. There is no interest or
no extras Of any nature to run the price
up higher than 24S dollars and Is cents.
Or, putting it in still another way
24S dollars and Is cents is the outside
price. When you have paid 24S dollars
and Is cents you have finished paying.
There are no 20, 80 or 40 dollar extras
cropping up to be paid afterwards.

Through the regular luay of selling pianos you
charged interest ION top Of the price the piano.
Thus-if you buy piano for $50 dollars you do
not pay $50 dollars: You pay $50 dollars and
Let us make this plain.
Suppose you were to buy piano on the usual
plan for $50 dollars You were to pay, say, 20 dol.

actually pay.
Now, do you see what land interest" means?
1t means, if you buy $50 dollar piano on the
old method Of selling pianos land 90 piano houses out
of every 100 employ this method, and pay for it at
the rate of 20 dollars cash and 10 dollars month"; and
keep your payments right up to 'the letter. that
your piano will cost you not $50 dollars. but 377 dol
lars and % cents.
You pay u dollars and % cents interest.
You pay ~ dollars and % cents extra, or 27
dollars and % cents OUer and above the marked"
price of the piano.
Those little words in your contract land inter-
est +" look harmless and sound innocent enough but
in a case like we have just cited they mean n

marked price.

Decline of the Turk
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TINE Turkish power never re-
covered from the blow that II
received at the siege of Wen
ma, In 1888 at the hands of So
bieski, of Poland, and when on the
back Of that disaster there came to
1t, in 1717, the loss of Belgrade it
was already as good as settled that
its doom was sealed. 1t might lin
ger for generations, but it's virility
was gone. 1t was no longer a Sc
rious menace to the white mans
rule in Europe.
Between the instructions Of ia
nissaries and Mamilukes at home
and the gatherings from French
men, Englishmen and Russians
from the outside, the Turks were
forced to witness the slow, but
steady and inevitable decline of
their once tremendous power in Eu-
rope.
Piece by piece the su1tan's Euro
pean territory was taken from him.
and by 1854 it would have been
easy for the powers to have put a
quietus for good and for all upon
the troublesome importation The
Sick Man" was completely at the
mercy of the quartet of nations
France Russia, Austria and Great
Brtain-but, instead of doing their
duty, they resolved that the alien
institution which had for so long a
,time disturbed Europe should not be
ended.
The document in which this
hypocritical and foolish agreement
was set forth is known as the
Treaty of Vienna" which was
signed by the diplomats April s,
1854.
Few proceedings more infamous
ever disgraced the pages of his
tory. For hundreds of years the
Turks had been breeders OF dis
cord among the peoples of Europe.

nearly every respect the very OPP
posite of Europeans, they had been
thorn in the side of the CONT
nent from the day on which they
had squatted upon its soil.
Not only so, but, predisposed by
their fatalistic faith to look with
contempt upon all modern progress
they acted the part of the dog in
the manager, doing nothing them
selves and unwilling that Others
should do anything for them.
There is chance now for the
powers" to atone, in part at least
for their silly and unwarranted ae-
ton in 1854. once again the "StcE
Man" is in their hands, and if they
will they can permit him to die
1t looks as though, conscience
snttten in their thought of the past
they were going to do just thal
thing, The gallant little nations
who have most severely felt the
Turks atrocities have about driven
their ancient enemy to the wall
and the opinion is abroad that the
big nations are going to permit the
victors to reap the full reward OF
their valor by driving the Turk
back to his old stamping grounds
in Asia.
By the time this appears in print
Constantinople may have fallen
and, after a period of four hun
dred and fifty-nine years, passed
back again into the hands OF the
Eastern Christians. And then IL
will appear whether the diplomats
have or have not outgrown their
old time hypocrisy and greed
If they have, it will soon appeal
that the day Of the Turk in hu-
rope Is over. If not, then the '.o
farce will be repeated, and wars
and rumors of wars, wounds anu
bloodshed and trouble generaIS'
shall continue over a matter 'O''

Last Love

THE first flower of the spring is not so fair
Or bright as the ripe midsummer brings
The first faint note the forest warbler sings
Is not as rich with feeling, or so rare
AS when. full master of his art. the air
browns in the liquid sea of song he filings
Like silver spray from beak and breast. and wings;
The artist earliest effort, wrought with care
The bard 5 first ballad, written in his tears
Set by his later toll, seems poor and tame,
And into nothing dwindleS at the test.
So With the passions of maturer years
Let those who will demand the first fond fame.
Give me the hearts last love. for that is best
