The Primacy of the STEINWAY First among pianos—first in construction, first in tone, first in originality—the place ot the Stciaway Piano is that of international leadership. Other makers have followed and tried to imitate the distinctive features of the Steinway. but their endeavors have served only to emphasize its primacy. The Steinways have achieved and maintained this precedence by perfecting each individual part of the Steinway Piano along original lines and then uniting these completed parts into a perfect whole.

Depew denounce as grossly exaggerated the report that, as a retail and wholesale dealer in anecdotes of all varieties, he has reformed. In fact, somebody asked the Senator about it not long since, and Mr. Depew replied “My reiormation is only partial. I used to relate a joke in the face of all protest now, however, I have learned a little wisdom: when I am telling a man a story 1 stop short if I see a certain peculiar gleam in his eye.” “The gleam that means he’s heard it before?” inquired the curious one. “No,” replied the Senator; “the gleam that means he’s busy thinking of one he means to tell me,”—Saturday Evening Post.

When I get home I'll send you the money.” “Not if I know it,” said Deputy Hoyt; “I need the money now.” The Kansas sheriff was vexed. “Why not borrow the moncy from Smith?” suggested the Oklahoman. ‘The Kansan grinned at this display of Oklahoma nerve and He went to the jail and in a short time returned with the moncy and paid and started with Smith to Kansas.— Stillwater Correspondence Kansas Ci ORD HALSBURY, who had just entered upon his cighty-third year, was the leader of the South Wales circuit. In this capacity he once fought very streau- ously on behalf of a Welsh public authority, and rather amused his listeners by the ardor with which he identified himself with the interests of the locality. “Come, come,” interposed the judge, good-naturedly, “you must not argue too much in that strain. You cannot make yourself out to be a Welshman, you know.” “Per- haps not,” returned the future lord chancellor, “but I have made a good deal of money out of Welshmen in my time.’” “Well, well,” replied the judge, “we may call you a Welshman by extraction.""—Bellman. Wanted the Sensation HE venerable farmer with the tobacco-stained whiskers and furrowed brow climbed aboard the limited and shambled into the smoker. “Mister,” he drawled, when the conductor halted before him, “is that thar to cents-a-mile rate good on this train?” “It is,” replied the conductor, brusquely. ‘Where is your ticket?” The old man fumbled in the depths of an ancient shot-bag. “Ain't go no ticket, mister,” he said slowly, “but here be two cents. I never rode on one of these pesky flyers and I just want to feel the sensation, Put me off alter I’ve rode one mile.” WOMAN who had a deposit of $10,000 appealed to an influential friend, during the financial flurry, to help her get the money.
