Useful New Invention Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to play the piano or organ in one even ing. Even though you know absO- lutely nothing about music or have never touched piano or organ, you can now learn to play in an hour or two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirOus of at once making it known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and half-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send it to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep it. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us a letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Numeral Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S5. although the regular price of these is $10 You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price. Address Numeral Method Music Co.,, sos Trussed Concrete Building, Detroit, Mich,-Ady't.

was below the limit.
"I'll tell you what you'd better do, I"
said the colonel-"raff1e 'em. I'll take
chances to the amount Of my bid"
'T'll take an equal amount to the
