WITH THE ADVERTISERS
A little word of three letters In the advertisement of the Straube Piano company on Saturday played a conspicuous part. The word "bed" is referred to and how It happened to, but in no one seem to know. Perhaps like Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin It simply grew there. Here is the sentence which was expected to take root and live in the minds of the people of the Calumet district for, lo, these many years. "The
great demand for this piano is due to the fact that It has rare musical qualities, and that the case is so good is the best." If the word "best" had been up to snuff and about its business the little word "bed" would never have made its appearance. "The body is th'e servant of the mind and this seems especially true when there is a young woman In the case." "Each evening," said my friend, "as I reached the passenger station for my ' twenty-mile ride into the city I found
on one of the seats a young musician groaning with pain. On some occasions his suffering seemed so intense that I thought he might die at any moment. We often took the same seat In the coach and he explained to me that ha was never free from pain, that he had been to Germany for relief, had been cut open and sewed up, but that it only made matters worse and his misery more pronounced. Some days later I saw
an energetic young fellow hustling along at a brisk pace with a sweet young woman on his arm, and upon observing more closely I observed my young German acquaintance in the railway station."
Sure of a Sermon. Dr. Clifford, who has Just made his nineteenth appearance before the Paddington justices for not paying the "sectarian rate,' 'is in great demand at mission services. An amusing adventure happened on one occasion when he was conducting such services at Carr's Lane, Birmingham. Arriving only Just a few minutes before the commencement, the doctor was refused admission by the policeman at the door. "I want to go in," said Dr. Clifford. "Are you a seat-holder?" asked the official. "No, I am not." "Then you can't go in." "I think," remarked the famous passive resister, "that there will be room for me In the pulpit." "I'm not so sure of it," retorted the other. "But I am Doctor Clifford and I am due to preach in another minute and a h ft." "Oh, you are?" said the Incredulous po
liceman. "I have let in two Dr. Cliffords already." M. A. P.
