Notwithstanding that the price of the Auto
piano places it within the reach of every home,
it is quality that has earned the universal en-
dorsement of musical people.
1t is quality in workmanship, quality in ma
terials, and above all, quality in tone, that makes
the Auto-piano high grade instrument in every
sense of the word.

AS he spoke Average Jones laid
hand on the heavy net curtains
which hung before the balcony
window. Instead of parting them,
however, he stood with upturned
eyes.
'as that curtain torn before
yesterday" he asked Mrs. Hale.
II hardly think so. The hotel
people are very careful in the up
keep of the rooms"
Jones mounted a chair with
scant respect for the upholstery,
and examined the damaged drap-
cry. Descending, he tugged tenta-
lively at the other curtain, first
with his right hand, then with
his left; then with both. The fab
rio gave little at the last test.
Jones disappeared through the
window.

that of Daniel Warner Marvin
and his young bride, both of New
York. On March Is they left for
Europe to spend their honey
moon, returning on the Titanic.
When the lifeboats were leaving
the Titanic the young bridegroom
carried his protesting bride to
the deck and forced her to get
in one of the boats, although she
chung to him and begged to stay
on board with him. Then she
pleaded with him to get in the
lifeboat also, but he refused to
take the place of woman, and
waited.
He said he would come soon,"
the fearful bride cried. ooh, I
can see him throwing kiss to
me just as our life boat drew
away"
Her marriage to Mr.. Marvin
caused considerable comment, as
they had taken a moving picture
record of the ceremony.

Dying Hickory TreeS-CauSe and
Remedy.

On account of the value of the

Circular Id of the Bureau of
Entomology, u. S. Department
of Agriculture, by A. D. Hopkins,
is of special interest to the peo-
pie of any community, county on

of this valuable tree.
1t appears that although there
have been several and sometimes
complicated causes for the death,
within the last ten years, of a
large percentage of the hickory
trees, Investigations have proved
that the hickory barkbeetle is by
far the most destructive insect
enemy, and is, therefore, in q
majority of cases, the cause oil

The simple and practical meth.
DDS recommended in this circular
will, if put into practice between

Was il COwardiCe.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt was
president of the United States
for some seven years. During
that time the revolt against the
high protective tariff of the re-
publican party had its largest
growth. And during that time,
as at present, Col. Roosevelt
maintained an absolute silence as
to the tariff and the problems
that arose under it. The nearest
that he ever came to speak was
when, in an outline of a message
to congress he announced that on
the tariff he would communicate
with congress later. Before the
message was sent to congress,
however, the paragraph was
stricken out, and the message
as to the tariff" was never de-
livered.
Col. Roosevelt poses as a pro-
gressive. Yet, with every oppor-
tunity afforded him, he has
failed to enter one protest
against this greatest of all abuses
of the governmental power.
Why? Is the bold, daring colo
mel really a coward at heart?
