|. L. HARDING HOME FROM
CINCINNATI.

L. L. Harding returned to Canon
City few days ago from . several
weeks business "trip 70 Cincinnati.
Ohio. While there he was engaged
in looking after matters connected
with his patent, the "vocalstyle,' -
which promises to revolutionize
piano playing. The In
vention is one Of great Importance
and seems destined to come into very
general use. The outlook for big
demand for It in all sections Of the
country Is very encouraging.
Mr.. Harding says that when he
left Cincinnati the streets were cover
ed with sleet and telegraph wires
were everywhere loaded down with
ice. They were having back there
when he left for Colorado, old-fash
ioned winter weather. which rendered
It disaereeable to be out Of dooFs and
difficult and dangerous for pedestri.
ans on the ice'cpated sidewalks.
