"Out in the still summer evening, Into my heart comes a feeling Of love thafs true and undying.

For you, sweetheart, I am bighiug."

Anton Dailey. The young man ' we speak of. after several years of ; study abroad, principally in Paris, came to America and settled in New i York.

After working hard for more than year, to establish the earnings of

the local postoffice at $65,000, the announcement of Finance Clerk Otto Sprong, to Postmaster Spekenhier 1 that the receipts of the office had faj len $1,450, under the amount received J the corresponding three months last

year, was deciueaiy unwelcome news. The receipts at the office last year . were the largest in the history of the j local office. A the postoffice is con- j sidered the baromoter of the business of a town, Postmaster Spekenhier thinks that the merchants of the city must be using other means than Uncle Sam's service in distributing their advertising or they are not doing as much of this, this year as last. , Postmaster Spekenhier is very optimistic as regards the remainder of Mie present fiscal year, however, and - e confidently predicts that at. the nd of the year the receipts would -eain reach the $65,000 figure. He opes that the heavy holiday business 'n a large measure wi'il aid in making up these amounts which the office sterns to have lost. Does Not Know Why. Just why the receipts show a decrease each month. Postmaster Spekenhier does not know. He says he thinks one reason the people of Richmond are not writing as many letters as they did last year. It is an established fact that the merchants are not advertising in pamphlet form as they have done for the past four or five years, and as these are generally sent through the mails. Uncle Sam necessarily has to suffer when such means of advertising is stopped. It is asserted that the merchants are each year appreciating the value of newspaper advertising and are devoting much of their advertising funds in this field.

where he started out anew. Not daunted by his many failing attempts, he opened a litale studio in one of the remote buildrjig.i devoted to art and music and lrcanie quite successful as a teacher of voice anil piano; but his compositions were quit" unrecognized until the enterprising firm, Jerome II. Remlck & Co., of Detroit, oti which he called in one last grat effort, saw at a glance that there was something in his works. 'What was the result? The poor, struggling musician was made famous and rich in a day. The beautiful song, "Dreaming", now the raging hit of the counlrv, was the first song Mr. Dailey submitted to Mr. Remick. It was gobbled up in a jiffy and published. Now both song and composer are famous; the sweetheart, now Mrs. Dailey, has the beautiful

home she has longed for; and all ends happily.

ABOUT THE PIANO BUSINESS.

There isn't any good reason why a good piano should cost you about all the money you have. Just stop and reason a little with yourself, leaving the fellow who has the piano to sell, entirely out of it. Did YOU ever examine, carefully, the material in a first-class, high grade piano; did you ever stop to think about the probable cost of the workmanship on a piano? If you have, I know that you know THERE IS NO REASONABLE REASON FOR THE PREVAILING HIGH PRICES USUALLY CHARGED BY PIANO DEALERS. There is, however, a reason for the high prices charged by a great many piano dealers. A great many of them get their stock on consignmentthat is, the manufacturer practically owns the pianos. The ONLY WAY in which to sell a piano RIGHT, is to buy it outright, for the hard, cold cash. In this way, you practically dictate the price to the manufacturer. Then, and then only, are you in a position to sell a piano right. A FEW GOOD REASONS why you can buy a first-class high-grade piano of me, at about ONE-HALF THE PRICE usually charged by piano dealers, are, FIRST, I have been selling pianos all my life and I never did, nor never will, buy a piano without paying the spot cash for it. In this way, I have something to say about the price. SECOND, I do not pay high rents. THIRD, I do not make a specialty of the piano business, hence I do not have to depend wholly upon the sale of pianos. In all these things, the buyer gets the benefit IT IS YOUR GAIN. Again, I positively allow no man in this line to undersell me, and I am also in a position to give you all the time you want, in which to pay for your piano. You can buy one, $5.00 down and the balance to suit your convenience. You cannot afford to miss seeing me, rf you are thinking about a piano. An investigation will cost you nothing and you will be surprised to know how very cheap, and on what easy terms you can buy almost any make of piano you may want.
