mans along both sides of IA River is

advance over a front of about six miles

for the noble idealism" shown in the
Presidents words.

VEST POCKET ESSAYS

PIANO PLAYERS


Thanks TO the advance of science
there are now two varieties of piano
music-hand-m d-made and feet-made.
Fifteen years ago the only way
to make music on the piano was to
hammer it out by hand. The product
was often very crude and to obtain
fair to medium grade required
years OF practice and very durable
neighborhood. Then the mechanical
player was invented and the only re-
Quisite for the making of sublime
music became pair of stout. long
winded ankles. Thanks to this con-
trivance, 1t is now possible to buy
divine melody By the roll and car y
it home at night along with steak
for supper.
The mechanical player gives the
musician chance to attack the piano
with hands, feet and knees, in a
most effective manner. The machine
does all the key winding, while the
musician merely starts and stops the
music, throttles down in the soft
parts, accelerates on the crescend dos
and puts on the emergency brake
when needed. A mere child can feed
one of these machines sonatas, over
lures and operas; and thanks to its
work, the earnest young lady who
crouches over n helpless piano and
beats out Beethoven with a batting
average OF one fair hit IN ten is not
receiving much encouragement in
her nefarious business nowadays.
The mechanical piano player is
bringing JOY to great number OF
people who formerly had to depend
on others for their music. The piano
no longer stands silent and dusty in
the home of the new-laid million
aire. The owner now climbs aboard
the drivers seat of the mechanical
player each evening after supper,
and tramps off 81 yards OF Liszt,
43 yards of Mendelssohn, 10 yards
of Brahms. and 2,745 yards of
Luders, thus enabling him to soak
his soul in music and at the same
time brace up his liver for another
hard day on the stock exchange. The
tired merchant no longer invests
$4,000 in a musical daughter and
then has her purloined by a dry
goods clerk before she has worn out
a single piano. He blows s4OO in on
a quiet and polite machine which
doesn's need new dress every week
and which always feels like playing
right after supper when requested
to.
The plano player is rIyallng golf
as an exercise and the Marathon as
n sport. There are men nowadays
who can do the Tannhauscr over
ture in three minutes flat, while the
man who cannot knock of two hours
Of comic opera without stopping
