Tune Your Piano Often

| From tEe New York Sun. ] As she had purchased the piano only I three months before and as 1t was a high l priced instrument made by leading manufacturer. the owner was surprised when 1t developed series of wheezy. rat- ting responses to her touch on several keys. She->fnformed the dealer and tuner was sent to examine into the mat ter. He ran his fingers over the keys and promptly said:
 ''rhe piano is moth eaten"
 "A moth eaten piano!" the owner ex- claimed in surprise. T never neard of such n thing"
 Very lillely" asaid the tuner, but T have heard of 1t Very frequently. and sur prise over moth eaten plano Is nothing new to me.
 There is nothing that moths like bet ter than to reyel in a piano. The soft cloth and leather |Sed on and about the delicate mechanism offer forage peculiarly pleasing to moths.
 ''In their ravenous way they are not long in eating those materials away from some imortant part of the inside work ings of the instrument That is what mas happened here. think"
 The tuner opened the plano. Several small piles of fine snowy dust revealed the presence of the moths. They had eaten the cloth away in many places. The surprise of the owner gave way to indig- nation. Then he surprised her quite as much as he had before by saying ab- ruptly:
 '@rhe plano needs tuning. madam"
 'Impossible!' she exclaimed. Why. if has been in use but three months A good plano should remain in tune yearl'
 "A common error among non-profes- sioral pianists." said the tuner. Tt Is really surprising what ignorance prevails in regard to this popular instrument.
 "A piano. good, bad or indifferent. when new should be tuned once a month. Tho longer an instrument remains untuned the lower it's pitch of tone becomes. and when it is desired to have the piano drawn to concert pitch the strain on the body of the instrument Is greatly increased, so much, in fact. that the case Is liable to yield gradually. necessitating a second tuning within a week or so"

was declining. The manager said he did not know whether to shear his own sheep first or David's David had been so fair with him that he would let David decide. David answered that he was bet ter able to bear the loss than was the manager. He told the manager to go ahead, shear his own sheep without re- gard to Davids.
 The manager did so and sold his wool. Then the shearers turned their attention to David's sheep. The manager got ale most the lowest price that wool sold at that year. Immediately thereafter wool went up-wept up very fast and kept climbing. Fly the time Davids sheep were sheared wool was booming The poor manager was so hard pressed. owing to the low price at which he sold, that he had to get rid of his ranch and his flock. He sold to David.
 The bankrupt street railroad and the flea bitten sheep ranch were only two of various things that clever men had un- loaded on David and that David inno- gently took up and just as innocently made money on. Various times he was stung, 1t appeared, but he obstinately hung on and ultimately he made big profit. He sold out everything about seven years ago. An attack of wander lust had seized him. With his wife he went travelling. He had particular objective point, going simply where the spirit moved him. He was gone more than year. most of his time being spent in foreign lands. When he got back to New York he got some information that troubled him exceedingly. The panic of 1907 was on. The great dry goods busi- ness that was established nearly century ago by his great grand father was in financial difficulty. The banks couldn't or wouldn't carry It.
 David had not been on very good terms with the other members of his family but he had a spark of pride in the name of McCullom and in the fame of the old | house. The business did not go to the wall. David furnished not only all tho money it needed but enough to buy con- tro of a competitive establishment that was also in desperate straits
 Today David wanders around the world. He has home fin Egypt and he has a home up the Hudson. The finest house boat upon the Nile Is his. He loves the Orient. He likes ito dress up in fakir costume and tell fortunes, just as he did in the side shows of the circus. He is just as much of a bore now as he ever was, but there are many persons who think he is wonderful, for his fortune Is more than $5.000000.

quack medicine and incidentally prac- ticed horse stealing as a side line
 McCullom would have let tho wayward boy Hollow his own course until he tired of it had 1t not been for Mrs. Mo- Cullom. She was the only one who could see any good in David. He was her pet lamb. She always could find an excuse for his conduct, always lavished affec- tion upon him in a larger degree than any of the other children. Clergymen and friends of the family pleaded and argued with David, but to no purpose.
 When the boy was 17 he was sent to a boarding school noted for its rigid man. agement. The principal had been fully informed of David's peculiarities, and at the first sign of misbehavior he walloped David as David had never been walloped before. Then he locked David up and put him on a diet of bread and water. Next day David was missing. It was six months before the family heard of him again. Then he was with circus side show and was perfectly happy.
 David's favorite stunt at the side show Twas to pose as a mystic and tell fortunes. It gave opportunity to him to talk, to reel off a rigmarole, impress some foolish person and get money for it. He had false beard and he made his face up as if he were an Oriental. He had huge cornucopia hat and wore a gown that was sprinkled all over with suns, moons, stars, creStents and the weirdest lot of celestial figures that you could find outside of an almanac.
 The strangest thing about David was that he really thought he was a mystic and he believed in his own prognostica- tions more than did some of the per sons who visited him. It cost MT. Mo Cullom time and money to get David home, and he had to use a good deal of influence to set the youth admitted to one of the fresh water colleges, for David was very shy in the matter of education. College couldn't hold David. He wouldn't study, broke every rule, disor- ganized the whole establishment and was dismissed in disgrace in a short time Then he was sent to another in- stitution of fearing, only to be expelled. Four colleges had experience with David and were glad to get rid of him. He wasn't particularly vicious, but simply was rebelious. About the only thing he was apt in learning was the various forms of devilment
 One thing strange about him was that he never was popular. Some young men who are hard to manage win a certain amount of hero worship but David did not His methods did not appeal to the others. He simply was stubborn, re-

man had taken advantage of him, but David rather resented the statements they made He said the country was bound to grow up, and he was perfectly able to take care of himself, that the property was a good onel and that he knew how to run a railroad. Then he drifted on to one of his tiresome rig marbles that had earned for him the reputation of being a first class bore.
 He had been side show barker. and patent medicine lecturer so long that he always talked in the strident asser- tive tones of those windbags. This was very irritating to most persons and soon David was given Q wide berth. He rode drivers and conductors, talked big, acted pompously and seemed to be perfectly content. Every month showed a deficit. but he did not seem to care.
 The no account street railroad was not the only thing that David bought A gentleman who had been out west and blown in lot of money on sheep ranch made himself agreeable to David He talked sheep ranches until David thought gold mines were unworthy of notice in comparison with sheep ranches. This man sold the ranch and what re- mained of the sheep to David, and then David, having paid over the money, went west and inspected his flea-btten sheep and his waste or grazing land. Before he got there the manager of the ranch had quit in disgust. Incidental to his departure, about one-third of the flock had disappeared.
 David made arrangements with the owner of the adjoining ranch to look after the McCullom sheep In addition to caring for his own flock, and then came east. He was as enthusiastic about sheep as he had been about street railroads. The only benefit his acquaintances could see for them in his new departure was that it varied his conversation, sheep giving a new subject for him to talk about.
 Other gentlemen had propositions to raise David to the highest pinnacle oi prosperity, but he had paid so much foI his sheep ranch and for his street rail road, and his street railroad was losing so much money for him, that his bank account was beginning to look sickly. Respectfully he had to refuse their offers.
 The railroad lost money steadily. The rapid increase in population that David had imagined did not materiallze. The railroad became more wabbly and Da- yid's relatives, who had long since de- spaired of the fool of the family ever do- ing anything but make a fool of himself. were wondering how long it would be before 1t went into bankruptcy again.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-10

There were persons who, now and then, made suggestions to David that were worthy of consideration, but there was only one that appealed to him., Probably 1t was because this particular Suggestion was right in bis line. At any rate, to boost his railroad, David went into the show business.
 Out at the end of his road he estab- lished rry-go-round n dancing pa villion. and picnic ground. Incidentally he got a broken down circus out there. This entailed a good deal of expense and used up nearly all that was left of Da- vid's money. but 1t increased the re- ceipts of the road so that 1t almost paid expenses. The receipts would have been larger If the equipment of the road was not so poor, but the Journey out and back was so long and tiresome lots of per- sons baked at making it.
 Just then something happened to favor David A manufacturer, looking for a good site, selected a location a mile be- yond the end of David's road. There was good water power near the place the manufacturer selected. The factory he built was of pretty good size. The 300 employees lived In the city while houses were being built for them near the fac tory site. They traveled over David' s road. Then other factories came to
 
 quite a town sprang up.
 David somehow managed to organize enough money to extend his road out to the factory town. Next he borrowed enough to lay a good roadbed and good rails and to change from horsecars to electric power. Within five years the railroad that the pious gentleman sold to David because David was fool, was highly prosperous. Its stock was worth moro than par. and some of the persons who had looked with scorn on the beautifully engraved and highly or nate passes David had showered upon them, now were delighted to have them.
 The sheep ranch had not brought any dividends to David, and even he was n- clined to consider his Ideas regarding 1t with some suspicion. Somehow the flock didn't increase with the rapidty he could make 1t increase when he got figuring with a pad and pencil. Wool didRt sell at the price he expected. The only thing that did grow amazingly was the ex- pense account. He trusted in his man. ager implicitly. as he trusted every one, in fact, and in this instance his confidence was merited.
 He had had the ranch six years when one day he got a telegram from his man ager. It was shearing time and there was a scarcity of shearers The price of wool
