The Highland Press Of last week dis
eusses the prospect of securing a piano
factory for that olace as follows:
Paul Baldwin, of New York City,
was here the fore part Of the week and
was so fovorably impressed with our
little village and the opportunity that
it presents to build up large and sub
stantial business, that he decided to
locate here permanently for the pur-
pose of manufacturing pianos.
"rhe Kennedy building has been
leased and will be painted and remodel
ed to some extent. When this is done,
machinery for the manufacture of high
grade pianos will be shipped from one
Of the Baldwin factories at Philadelphia.
1t is Mr. Baldwin's intention to start
on a small scale and enlarge as bust
ness increases.

FOUND A REAL HERO
He Was Only a Tramp but Proved
Himself to Be a Genuine
Man.
By SARAH EsTELLE BALLOON.

I'm up stump Darce, and that's
the truth OF it. I'm freed, at sea. ma
rooned. My publishers have ordered
a tramp series. I've read you the first
chapter. and you say it won't do"
That's right-won't do at ALL" as
sented Alvin Dacre, poet, critic and
magazine editor You don't get the
right touch, you see. You make the
tramp all beer and dirt-no human
interest. Get back to your old forte
the simple vlllager Look here, there's
a big chance on Japan. Put in a year
there and write something worth
while"
I'D do it only for little Paul" said
Philip North, and his big bluff voice
became gentle as that Of a woman's.
HE couldn't stand trip like that"
Little Paul, the crippled brother,
was the tender spot in the heart of
Philip North. Even blase Alvin Dacre
had seen something in the wonder
full love between those two that made
his own barren heart ache at times.
Well" he said, "if you're bound to
immortalize the tramp, do it right,
that's all. Cultivate the genus. Study
him. I've an idea Come with me-"
Dacre was erratic and wilful, and
North never questioned his leadership.
The former proceeded to the cheap
lodging house district of the city and
piloted the way up the stairs of one
of it's cheapest structures. He spoke
to a man at desk The latter called
an assistant, and minute later the
two friends were halted in front of the
last of row of narrow sheet iron
rooms with wire netting over the
top

CURIOUS TRADE OF AFRICA
Demand, and Now the Hide ls
of Much Value.

One of the curiosities of African
trade now far more uncomIlonlv seen
than formerly, is the ivory of the hip
popotamus. These teeth are much
harder than those of the elephant, and
for a long time we're used for the man
ufacture of false teeth, which were
skillfully carved from that material.
Old lie Valiant remarks, in his Afri-
can Travels, now more than hun
dred years old: at is surprising that
Europeans, especially Frenchmen.
should make an article of commerce
out of the teeth of the hippopotamus,
for with the help of science they are
made to replace our own, and we may
see them flashing delightfully."- in the
mouth of pretty woman" Science
has found better substitute for this,
and the trade in hippopotamus teeth
has fallen OFF. The making of sjamboks,
or whips, from the hide is still a -four
ishing industry; and during the Boer
war an enterprising genius sold many
stripe Of the thick hide, at a shilling
apiece, 10 train load of Canadian re-
cruits, by calling the stuff "billtong"-
that is, sun-dried beef The teeth of
the walrus more nearly resemble ele-
plant ivory, and are in good demand
in Japan for small carvings; and fos-
sill ivory from Siberia has long been
used in China.-Harper Weekly.

tramp. He was only half dressed,
and he stared with bleared eyes at
his unexpected visitors
Remember me, don't you, Frowsy?"
inquired Dacre.
Why. sure" assented the tramp,
after a long stare You're the gent
that paid me to stand for a photo
graph and put me in the paper"
That's right, Frowsy. Well, I've
got you a longer and a better job"
What doing?" challenged Frowsy,
suspiciously.
This friend Of mine is writing a
book on tramps, He wants you to
hang around his place for week or
two. Just act natural, and let him
study your fine points. See?"
A queer smile crossed the tramp's
face. He blinked grimly Then he
said:
Sorry, governor. but it can't be
done"
Why not?"
Well, I'm in pawn, You see, my
best partner Slim Larry, was taken
in yesterday on a ten dollar fine. l
sent out most Of my clothes to get
enough to have man see the alder
man. 1t didn't work, and reckon
wouldn't look very invitin' anywhere
hangin' around in these toys"
You needn't worry about that"
said Dacre. Mr. North viii start you
out with a new suit of clothes-and a
bath"
1T looks good remarked Frowsy,
but couldn't rest easy with Larry
In trouble Tell you, gents" and
Frowsy grew eloquent, I've had part
ners, but none Ike him He's been
failin lately, and it's the country air
or the buryiD ground for him. He's
got a poor relative on a farm. and
we'd arranged to get him where he'd
be safe and comfortable, when the
police took him In. When | get him
out gents, I'm open for a PROPOSE
ton"
Give us the details about your
friend, Frowsy," directed Daore, and
Wen fix that end Of the case"
You will?" questioned the tramp
eagerly Then I'm your man"
II was transition of splendor for
trowsy from the slum district to the
apartments Of the story writer. Little
Paul took great fancy to Frowsy
The tramp was full Of fascinating
stories Of the wanderlust and the
poor little fellow valued his reminis-
cenees OF hitting the road" because
ne himself was shut out physically
rom such peregrinations.
Well North, how are you getting
along with your model?" Dacre asked

One day when he was in CONSTANT

says the Hamburger Nachrichten,
went to call by appointment on the
Austro- Hungarian ambassador, Count
Won Pallavicini. He was accompa-

when an acquaintance detained him
for a minute in the ambassadors
ante-chamber the bulldog walked on
and entered the counts room. The

thinking the German minister had en-.

though"
We'll, there's his hero worship. His
friendship for little Paul is some
thing pathetic"
YES, that is true" acknowledged
North, the old tender CLEAN coming
into his fine eyes. What's that!' he
almost shouted. as a bell man hurried
to his side and repeated into his ear
a telephone message just received.
"Dacre, my home is on fire."
The apartment house where North
lived was about six squares from the
club. In a wild fever OF suspense and
excitement the two men ran all the
way A groan came from North's
lips as they turned corner. They
came in sight of the building. 1t was
a mass of flames.
PAUL" shouted the frenzfed North,
and made a dash for the fire-fringed
doorway.
Dacre and a policeman dragged him
back and held him by main force.
"One man just rushed in there"
said the officer. He'll never come out
alive"
AS a burst of flame singed and
drove them back, Dacre set up a great
shout
Look, North look" he cried,
Three stories up, hanging from the
sill of window of the North apart
ments, was a man. The flames seemed
10 scoreh his head and his clothing
was on fire, It was Frowsy, and in
one arm he bore a hsddled form
wrapped up in drapery.
Catch him!" rang out in anguished
but imperative tones from the tramp,
and just then four firemen ran up with
the safety net
Unsinged, unframed, little Paul was
extricated from the net just as
Frowsy fell into it, helpless mass.
"You brave fellow!' almost wept
Philip North as clasping the hand of
the tramp he accompanied him 20 the
hospital
you saved Slim Larry didn't for
get" murmured the loyal Frowsy,
and tainted away with pain.
Frowsy recovered from his burns
and was sent to the farm to join his
partner, a pensioner of North for life.
The tramp book was published and
was a success. It's author sent a
copy to Frowsy,
"Say" said the latter the next time
North and little Paul visited the
farm, that tramp hero in your book
does some big things, Mr.. North.
Nothing to equal what you did for
little Paul, declared North gratefully.
"You risked your life to save him. Do
you think we can ever forget?"
Frowsy placed loving hand on the
little golden head
ITO think of it" he said, huskily-
"the city cut out, and Larry and me
happy and honest and comfortable
here. Say, the story book can't beat
it, Every time think of it feel as
if this battered olo heart of mine was
all clean again"
