ANCIENT CELLS ARE FOUND
Abode of Prisoners In tho TIme Of
Charles u. Are Unearthed In
London.

A fitting abode for criminal relics
to be exhibited at the new London
museum at Kensington palace has
been found In two prison cells, which
were discovered by gentleman con-
nected with the London county coun-
Gil In an old house in Wellclose
square, st. Georges-in-the-East The
cells, which are believed to date back
to the time OF Charles II. and to have
been subsequently used In connection
with the Whitechapel police court.
were occupied In a common lodging
house when discovered. In the walls.
which are built Of oak, thickly studded
with strong iron bolts, were the orig
inal fetters used for the condemned
prisoners, together with plank bed
upon which no doubt many criminal
spent his last night upon earth.
The complete cells have been dis
mantled by experts acting under in
structions from Guy Laking, custodian
Of the new museum, and they will be
re-erected In their entirety In the
annex at the museum at Kensington,
where visitors will be able, not only
to pass In and out Of them and in
spect the many quaint inscriptions on
the walls, but examine the massive
iron bolts on the exterior which de-
fed the efforts Of the most willy pris-
staircase still stands in the house in
Wellclose square, but this will not be
removed.

Pianos
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of at Good Old Siwash.@

0HE piano was once the parlor mark
OF prosperity in the American
home. 1t advertised the fact
that the owner had more money than
he needed or knew how to spend and
had passed above the cabinet organ stage
Of society.
People used to begin saving for pianos
when they were married and get them
IN time Tor their grown-up daughters to
practice upon. The resident of a village
who had a piano was more admired than
the citizen who now owns an automobile
and 1t cost him Just as much for the dis
tinctiOn because all the musical enter
taInments had to be given at his home.
Pianos have now become as common
as bath tubs and mission furniture. and
the man who owns one has no reason to
be proud and stiff. A piano Is now con-
sldered rs necessary as a front porch and
even more necessary than baby and is
the greatest American postponer of pros
perlty-fOr every young couple has to
buy a piano before it can begin to put
money in the bank
Pianos have become common because
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-12-11

they are now easy to buy. Anyone can
buy a piano by paying 81 down and 81 a
week until Bryan is elected. Pianos cost
the average family $50 d year through
life. for by the time they have finished
paying for the first piano it doesn't
match the woodwork of the new house
and has rheumatism of the bass strings.

strings and few missing teeth when
persistently attacked by a young lady
with fine ear for caliOpe harmony can
bring the price of real estate in the

1t is hard to make a piano and the
best ones require months to complete.
But it is so easy to sell them that only
a genius can refrain from buying one

round me played their Tyres and on the

a statesman from. below got through
the gate-hOw, | don't knOw-and GOT
his choice of crowns; and ere an hour
he there had spent / noticed signs of
discomfort; the seraphim wore frowns.
He skirmished round among the blest
and told them that the we're oppressed.
and had them peevish soon; their crowns
were bargain counter things, they all
deserved much better wingJ. their harps
were out of tune. "YOur heaven once
