planning now the greater SER
vice of tomorrow.
But the other day some one
said: 1.-The Piano Store will
be 20 years old on April 15th."
And we involuntarily cast a
mental glance backward.
Memories popped out from
the minds chambers. The old
years fell into line, holding up
their records. In flash we
were back at the other end of
the twenty years, silent in
wonderment at the progress
that had been made
in Instruments;
in methods of selling;
in the peoples apprecia-
ton Of the inspiring inhu-
ence of MUSIC in the home.
When the John Wanamaker
Store added pianos to it's
lengthening list of merchan-
disc, on April Is, 1899, music
was a luxury. The people
wanted it. But it took years
of patient practising to make
even a mediocre pianist.
And what good was a piano
in the home if one couldn't
play?
So the people went out
side Of their homes for
music. For the heart longs
for music.
Music and rhyme are among the
earnest pleasures OF the child as they
are Of the race" wrote Emerson.
Many are still going out
side of their homes for
music, but their number is
decreasing every year.
The progress in piano
forte construction is turn
ing them back to the
HOME.
Do you know that the
first pianoforte built is in
New York?
1t was built by Cristofori,
of Padua, about 171O. 1t
is today in the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art.

ing through the centuries to
develop a system of combining
musical tones in chords; later,
a form Of presenting musical
ideas to the eyes, and then, an
instrument to communicate to
the ears the harmonies that
were born in the soul.
The cultured Greeks knew only the
simple melody. Harmony did not
come for centuries afterwards. 1t was
not until the 18th century that the
harpsichord and the clavichord were
heard. The first harpsichord was moth
ing, but either or small harp with a
two or three octave keyboard added.
Today we have not only the
perfect piano, but the Repro
ducing piano.
What an amazing advance
from Cristofori's instrument
to the AMPICO!

One year before we opened
our Piano Salons the first prac-
tical player-piano was built.
But it was very mechanical
instrument. 1t played musical
compositions. 1t did not pro-

touch, the infinite degrees of

of melody, the plastic mould
ing of phrase.
The AMPICO does all
these today.

The rapid spread Of the divorce evil
is showing itself in Kenosha, just as il
is in every other county in the state.
It is to be regretted that there is not
some way to slam the door in the face
of divorce until every man and woman
seeking anullment of marriage can be
faced in court by the other party. The
default divorce should be made an i'm.
possibility unless it can be shown that
the husband or wife named as defend
ant can not in any way be produced In

on the 10th of the month and
it is more than probable active
work will be begun on this much
desired improvement by the first

ARE COURT MARTIAL RE-
FORMS NEEDED?

Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell,
Acting Judge Advocate General
of the United States Army. has
just caused a nationwide sensa-
tion by his recital. before the
Senate Committee on Military AT
fairs, of certain astounding facts
regarding sentences imposed by
courtsmartial during the war
period.
"Some Of these sentences he
stated, "have reached the very
height Of injustice, bearing no rea-
sonable relationship to the offence
committed. "
General Ansell also stated that
the methods of tR American
cOurtsmartial are much harsher
than those of the armies of Great
Britain, France or any other
countries except Russia, Prussia
and Spain.
Among the many instances re
lated to the Senate Committee by
Geueral Anscll, were the follow
ing:
IN American soldier. protesting
th'l he was i'll and physically un-
atle to obey. was charged with re-
fusing to obey an order to drill.
To this charge he pleaded guilty;
the death penalty was imposed;
the military authorities in France
insisted upon his execution, aud
the man was saved only by Ex-
ecutive Clemency.
A soldier in a camp in this com
try went, without leave, TO :he
of his dying father aud
returned to duty voluntarily as
soon as his father died. The court
ordered the death penalty
and the sentence would doubtless
have been carried out but for in
reference from Washington.
"A young soldier, who had been
in the army but few days, was
sentenced to 40 years imprison-
ment because Of his refusal to gi9e
up a package of cigarettes to q
second-lieutenant who happened
to be his superior officer. In re-
ferring to the matter General An
sell called the affair a Company
'ow' and indicated that the Off
,er was practically as much to
blame as the soldier.

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE.

The Lafayette Gazette on Feb.
22nd: =
We are not superstitious nor
do we believe in dreams, but when
we have a pleasant one we like 10
cash in at it. For instance. it
has been the dream Of nearly
lifetime of the present generation
that some day the parish would
rise up and generously donate it.
self a brand new court house, one
worthy of the parish that might
build it, That dream had be-
come so chronic as to amount al
most to nightmare when the po-
lice jury settled down to the job
of doing something more than
talking about it. Yesterday the
jurors set the wheels to grinding
out something of definite nature
in the way of plans and we take
off our hat to them. We are 60
ing to keep it off and use it as
sort Of aid in horraying as long
as this movement can be kept
alive. We are afraid it is too good
to be true, but just the same we
are for it good and strong and
propose to boost it to the best Of
our ability. We hope everybody
else will catch the enthusiasm and
make it so unanimous that there
can be no such thing as failure or
unnecessary delay Of the move
ment. It is a long-felt want and
the plan for financing it is so feast
bic. so simple and so easy that
really there is no valid reason
why it should not be carried ont
and the new court house built as
speedily as the red tape formal
ties can be observed. A new court
house-think of it! The grand
Juries Of the future would have
nothing to joke about and the cit
Hens nothing to be ashamed of

After this work is well under
way steps will be taken to push
the completion of gravel roads

essary. In fact it is useless for IS
to hope for a prosperous commlln-

improvements.

Mr.. Brewster also stated that so far
as is known. the attempts to take ad-

boost the price of coal have been few.
When the statement from Washing

endeavoring to obtain reports from coal
operators regarding the announcement
last night by Mr.. Brewster that no at
tempt would be made to run the mines
Saturday, was shown to Mr.. Brewster,
he said: I'VE are going under the idea
that the miners will obey the strike
call. If they do, the mines cannot oper-
ate. because we will have no miners. |
did not speak for nonunon mines. The
case is simple. We cannot operate
without miners and our mines are
unonized. If the miners obey the
strike order we will have no miners
