Chickering Piano is the result of skill, inspired by a keen appreciation of the artistic and a desire to live up to an enviable reputation, directed by the latest scientific knowledge, and practical experience gained by 80 years of piano build- ing. @ The resulting excellence, both as to tone,touch and general staying power, is the reason, and the only reason, for the uniformly high favor in which it is held in ex- clusive musical circles.

He sells the Dallas News every morning and is led from place to place by a dog, which seems to possess as much intelligence as a human being, although it hasn't the power of speech. The dog's master’s eyes are sightless, but the faithful liule supplies the eyes for the man and conducts him to any part of the city in a manner that is marvelous. When the man wants nother supply of the Dallas ws he the chain and says a word or two to the The canine wags his tail, looks up into his master’s face and leads him unerringly to the Perhaps it is necessary to cross the streets once or twice to get there, but the dog looks out for automobiles, street cars and other vehicles and shields his blind owner from danger. Although successful heretofore in protecting his master from bodily harm in the crowded streets, the dog himself not so fortunate to-day, for while in the act of passing from one curb to another he was struck by a buggy wheel and badly injured about his hind legs. In con- siderable pain and walking on three legs, the dog showed no disposition to neglect his master after the accident, but continued to lead him from place to place until the morning’s work was fin- ished and both wended their way slowly home- ward, the dog limping and making little progress and the blind man groping his way behind -him.— Associated Press. . Thought He Saw Double WORTHY professor was invited to dine at the house of a lady of fashion. The day was hot, the wine cool, the professor's thirst great, and the fair neighbor with whom the professor was engaged in a lively conversation filled his glass as often as it was emptied. When the company rose from the-table, the professor noticed, to his great consternation, that he was unsteady on his feet. In his anxiety to save appearances, he repaired to the drawing-room, ‘vhere the lady of the house yielded to the wishes of her lady friends and ordered the nurse to bring in the baby twins. The pair were lying together on a pillow, and the nurse presented them for inspection to the person nearest the door, who happened to be the professor. The latter gazed intently at them for awhile, as if deciding whether or not there were two, or onc, and then said, somewhat hus! “Really, what a bonniy little child !”"—People's Magazine. Out of Danger OCTOR WHIPPLE, long Bishop of Minne- sota, was about to hold religious services near an Indian village in one of the Western States, and before going to the place of meeting asked the chief, who was his host, whether it was safe for him to leave his effects unguarded in the lodge. . Plenty safe,” grunted the red man. “No white man in a hundred miles from here.”— Woman’s Home Companion "You but o gover fining days, ¢ Adelaic
