come deep-rooted in the garden of the
Il human heart. In the beauty of its fire.
quent Towering, old loves long lost, have come back
to whisper sweet words, and dear faces, long hid
have smiled once again; sorrow upon sorrows have
been banshed to forgetfulness.
And countless thousands have cried with the cob
bers sister, ut is so beautiful but beyond my power"
Beyond your power? No. Not now. The great
glorious world of music is at your command.
Beethoven is waiting at your door and with him a
wonderful company. All who have made music what
1t is are there, from quaint and stately Handel and
Bach, to the living composers OF to-day.
Don't you want music in your home? Music, one
OF the great necessities of life whose soothing and
inspiring influence has blessed mankind from civi-
zationS earliest dawn!
The Pianola-the most modern pianoforte, the
most important and successful musical invention Of
all tme-was made especially for you.
Not merely to let you hear music-but to let YOU
play musc-ths is The Pianolas mission.
To enable you to sit at the pianoforte, and play
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata with all of the per-
Torrance your very own, except the purely technical
part of striking the notes.
Tomorrow night you can play the "Moonlight
Sonata if you wish And every succeeding night
you can play some great, new masterpiece OF music,
developing your taste. widening your outlook on life
and increasing both your mental and your physical
efficiency.
The exclusive features of The Pianoa. like the
Metrostyle and the Themodis- features that dis
tingush it from all other so-called "player-pianos
supply any possible deficiency in musical taste and
training.
This is why The Pianola, and The Pianola alone Of
all such instruments, has gained the support of prac
tically all the great musicians and musical educators
of the world.
The Pianola is like the conventional panoforte with
keyboard for manipulating. 1t may be obtained in
either the Grand or Upright model in the following
famous makesThe Stenway Pianola, The0Steck
Pianola, The Wheelock PianoIa The Stuvvesant
Pianola, The Stroud Pianola and The Famous Weber
Pianola.

nocent of Murder
Albany, April 19.-Malcolm Clifford
ST. rich manufacturer of Hudson,
is in Albany to begin a legal battle
to save his son, Malcolm. Jr.., IS
years old, from punishment for the
alleged murder of Frank J.. Cluto a
young Albany chauffeur who was
found slain near his machine not far
from Watervlet about a year ago.
Another motive was assigned to-
day by the police for the murder.
They believe that young Giffori was
driven to the act partly for revenge
because Clute had taken out for an
automobile ride a girl with whom
the schoolboy was acquainted.
That the boy committed the crime
is regarded by the father as impossi-
bic.
How, asked Clifford. ST., could a
line looking. straightforward manly
young fellow like Malcolm murder
any one? A boy with that kind OF
face and bearing could not be cap.
able of it.
Young Clifford prior to the murder
had been expelled from the Tibbitts
school at Hoosick for an infraction
of the rules. After leaving the
school the lad went to New York
and from there telephoned TO his
father.
