Time was, and not so long' ago either; that only the ma n of ut ilimited credit or the man with plenty of ready ca ;h were piano buyers. The family of ordinary means wr ts conten t to hear piano music in the homes of more fo: rtunate : neighbors. It meant a great deal then for the he :ad of thi z family to buy his wife or his daughter a piano of fa stands ird make. It meant the putting down of the e ntire cost t in one payment It was no wonder in those d .ays, just a few years back, that the homes in which I )ianos wen z found were in the minority.

But time has done much in the way of business evolution. Methods are different today. When Nellie, or Mary, or Fanny, or Sue, or Margaret, or Bessie, or Catherine, or whatever the daughter's name may be, says fond!y to papa: "I should so dearly love to have a STARR PIANO for Christmas," papa is not startled; neither is he chagrined with the thought that he cannot gratify the wish. He knows full well that he carTdo just what his daughter wants him to do and do it without crippling his finanances even a trifle. The transaction is simple. With his daughterand his wife the trip to the salesrooms of the STARR PIANO COMPANY is made. The selection of a piano from a stock of unsurpassing beauty and standard excellence is made. There is a small cash payment. The piano is immediately delivered, and Christmas is a day of special rejoicing. The balance due on the piano is payable in small installments, so small in fact that the head of the household will not notice them. All paymentts are made direct with the piano company at its salesrooms. No notes in bank to embarrass you. Every protection for the purchaser. In other words every inducement is given you to become a purchaser and then every convenience offered in the matter of settlement. Visit our salesrooms this week and see for yourself. Organs may be purchased on same plan.

Mrs. Myers Denied Appeal. Washington, Dec. 8. The supreme jcourt of the United States through Justice Brewer denied the application of Mrs. Aggie Myers of Kansas City, Mo., for a writ of error. If a writ had been allowed it would have had the effect of bringing her case to that court. Mrs. Myers is under sentence of death in Missouri on the charge of murdering her husband - in Kansas ity a year or more ago. The effect of the decision will be to leave the mat

fer more than incidentally to the aual
quality of Mr. Parker's verso, but will tell a few things about tho poet himself, gathered from personal contact. Born in Henry County, Indiana, and brought up amid the "toil and anxiety" of pioneer existence as lived in those days in the portion of Iie West, the soul of the poet "struggled for utterance," as he has put it in the first published book. "The lessen," which appeared thirty-five years ago. The spark of inspiration was soon touching all the homely things aro iud him and lighting them for the pleasure of his
mends. In time his audience grew till it now covers a wide space. His
latest volume, "After Noontide," has been circulated from Maine to California. There Is no more trite saying than that "a phophet is uof without honor save In his own country." But with most poets It has happily been different and Mr. Parker is no exception. He has been, and Is, held in honor by all his neighbors, and the expression of this feeling has been varied and substantial. With most persons acquaintance with the man ft consequently upon knowing his works. It was true of
the winter of this sketch in regard to his subject.. The first poem of Mr. Parker's I read did not have his name attached to it, but such was the at
traction of the lines for me that I made special inquiry as to their au
thorship, and eventually this brought about -an acquaintance between us.
Finally after an occasional ex
change of letters during several years through the courtesv of th
found myself in Newcastle, Ind., the "City of Roses." and as he has facetiously added "Pianos." On an October morning I started on my pilgrimage, if I may be allowed so to term it, to the home of the poet. On my arrival at Newcastle I was met by Mr. Parker and soon we were on the way to his residence, where, on reaching it, I was introduced to Mrs. Parker, who as my hostess made me welcome. Then I thousht of the poem through which I came to know Mr. Parker and in which he voices the ever-yoazig- spirit that he nosses-
ses in so full measure and has breathed forth in other poems "The First Blue bird";
The call cs old, who years decry. The bird sings down the cruel lie; We're young forever, you and I, I hear the biue bird singing. Incidentally, Mr. Parker was led to speak: of hi3 work, after disposes of
the usual preliminaries, and I had tho rare pleasure of hearing him read one of his unfinished poems ' of T some length, founded on an incident that happened during the civil war. He also read from his published verses and the soft cadence of their author's voice will ever attach itself to his poetry in my memory. I spoke of one of his poems which had appeared during the present year in a magazine and which he knew I had liked, and asked him concerning the setting. I had thought it was connected especially with the poet's house. When I was told the setting-- was ' imaginative I felt not unlike a relic hunter would feel after finding his treasure not what he thought It was. I also referred to his poem "Casco Bay, which originally was printed in the Century Magazine and suggested that it should be highly thought of locally. I was informed that ilr had been made use of in those parts in a special way. which will h frratlfvlnv
news fo those who admire Jtbesa graceful lines. From this'' our talk drifted to the scenes of other days and of the time when Mr. Parker had been United States counsul at Sherbrooke, Quebec. It was he and Mrs. Parker who gave much encouragement to the late Mrs. Catherwood in taking up Canadian subjects for her stories which were so well received by the reading public. Mrs. Catherwood had been their guest at Sherbrooke and they felt a warm friendship fo her. Mr. Parker has a kindly feeling toward all young writers. He spoke of the discovery of Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose end was so lamentable because so untimely. I remarked that he was "an honor to his race," to which answer
came: "He is an honor to any race," and I felt that I had .come short in not myself expressing the larger view. Though Mr. Parker has been practically an invalid for years he is remarkably active. He showed me through some of the leading indus
tries of Newcjastle in a MJay that would have done credit to the stength of a much younger man. The day passed all too quickly, because so pleasantly. I had overstayed the limit I placed on my visit before leaving in 'the morning. - The darkness had again thrown its nightly pall over the earth and I departed under the spell of the kind hospitality of the pWt and his family, and of my contact with the beautiful spirit that has given tangible form to the bright fancies which have charmed so many lovers of his verse.
