But it is a question of a selection of the piano best suited to meet your needs for the amount of money you have to spend. It doesn't mean an extravagant expenditure either.

Nor does it mean a price too small TO INSURE QUALITY AND SERVICE. The cheap piano is always an extravagant purchase, not only because of the short service it will give you, but because of the lack of a pure quality of music.

Mr. Warren in a picturesque passage in his patriotic discourse said ho was convinced that God was behind our troops when they swept rifle 'n hand up San Juan Hill, and that He was guiding our fleet when they let fly their deadly missiles against the Spanish Bhlps In Manila Hay. Of course this reverend gentleman believes the creed of his church when it affirms that ChrtBt Is "very God of very God." Now suppose in his oratorical flight he had said thpt ho was sure Jesus of Nazareth was standing besldo Admiral Dewey when ho B.f.naleii his ships to blaze away, and that the same noble figure also walked among our troops before they charged uo San Juan Hill, urging them to look to their rifles and keep their smokeless powder dry, it can be easily Imagined how different an Impression his sermon would have made upon his congregation. strong enough to hold In abject subjection for hundreds of years as brave and intellectual a race as tho world has yet. seen? Ayl where also is the empire that carried the banners of Hannibal to a hundred triumphs; and where too is the Egyptian civilization that built tho t'iant pyramids, and whose myBtlcIsm F.till fascinates the scholars of tho world? There is a passage in the Hible which no doubt the reverend gentleman remembers: "They who live by the sword i shall perish by the sword." But I would not have thought of answering this clerical orator If ho did 1 not belong to a church which claims the Prince of Peace as Its etornal guide and infallible counselor.
