of tho list of deadly Indigestible. One

toothsome substitute which is well liked Is made of a mixture of mashed potatoes and sausage meat .

The turkey may then be filled and roasted.

An attractive way of serving It Is to

have ready large boiled onions with a

shallow well in the top filled with

cooked sausage, which may be placed around the turkey on the platter. Just before sending to the table a little

brandy Is poured over each one and

Ignited, making a most festal dish,

AN EQUINE J0XER.

Sewlptor Ward's Model, Lex, Seemed to Have a Sense of Humor. The late J. Q. A. Ward, the sculptor, fonad great diversion In watching the tricks and peculiarities of the horses which , served as models, for some of his equine -statues. He made friends with them all, and he was a good friend to them." "The only horse ' humorist that I have had experience with," Mr. Ward is quoted as saying. "was of ' thoroughbred blood, and be was. a' real joker. That was Lex. a horse of the blood of the Immortal Lexington. - - "Lex was of a splendid type. He stood for me for much of my early work. Somehow he discovered that a table on : wblch I worked was easily shaken. It was a board on trestles so arranged that tbe position of the board might be altered to almost any angle When Lex saw I waa busiest he would slide slowly , and silently to the side of the table and turn bis bead to have a good look at me as he jostled the table with- his shoulder or hip. It was amusing at first, but It sometimes hampered me. and I thought I would try a Joke In, return. "Lex had a place at the table that he Invariably approached, and when he struck it always leaned on tbe same corner. Lex was not conscious wben I placed my compass, with tbe pointed ends out. barely half an Inch extending over the edge of the . table, and braced the other end against a weight. : "--. "I had not long to wait before Lex gently came up, and I thought I could see mischief in his eye. . He took bis usual place, and then wben I pretended to be very busy be pushed tbe table In his usual manner, pricked bis shoulder on the points and jumped back with a snort.. He looked s long and hard at me, but took his place of duty. The Joke waa against him that time."

MUSIC

FOR YOUR HOME

4 v If your home has not as yet been supplied with a musical instrument, no doubt you contemplate the v purchase of something in this , line. It is the ambition of almost every parent of the present age and genefr' . ation, who have been blessed with children in their home, to arrange to give them an opportunity to develop such musical talent as they may possess. m- . . J -No one will dispute the fact that trie young lady or gentleman who. can play nicely on the piano, has quite a marked advantage over associates who are not so gifted. So valuable an asset as this should not be denied your children when it is within your reach. There are few families at the present, but what can afford a piano in their home, when you consider the favorable prices and terms that are made now on first class instruments.

and we have purchased and have on our floor one of the largest stocks of high grade pianos we have ever had, and have the largest variety of styles and makes of instruments ever exhibited in the city of Richmond. Now we will appreciate an opportunity to show you this stock and we know you will be pleased that you have taken advantage of the time to look it over before you buy. While we make a specialty of the

McCONAHA PIANO

which is a high gradenstrument in every respect, different styles of which we, have put in some of the best homes of the country, and with people that can buy anything that the heart would desire, yet while in our store ycu are not confined to one make, as we have in stock also, THE STEIN WAY, , KIIELLFRENCH, CABLE, KIMBALL, CABLE-NELSON, HADDORFF, HAINES BROS., and others. Remember that every piano we send out is fully warranted. We wouldn't sell one that wasn't, and besides that, they have a guarantee that means something. Now we are not going to say to you that we will sell you a piano, and save you expense of boxing, freight, hauling, and the Devil himself knows what else, out we will say this : WE WILL SELL YOU A PIANO AND POSITIVELY GUARANTEE THAT YOU CAN NOT GO TO CALIFORNIA AND BUY A DUPLICATE OF IT, AFTER THE FREIGHT IS ATTACHED TO THE PRICE, FOR LESS MONEY THAN YOU CAN BUY THE SAME INSTRUMENT IN RICHMOND. Besides we do not hold the club over you that you ought to buy of. us, just because we breathe some of the air around Richmond, occasionally scrape ourfeet on the curb and drop a banana peel in the gutter. " This is what we call inconsistency. You have made your own money, and certainly should be ao; corded the right to spend it as your judgment dictates. If we can not show you sufficient merit in pur t goods and prices to make you feel justified in buying of us, we will certainly not be so ungrateful for you giving us the opportunity as J question your right to go to other markets. We would not be so inconsistent as to ask Richmond toehold up our goods. To the contrary we want to sell goods that have sufficient merit to bring people to Richmond. , Talk with some of the people who have bought of us, and then come in and see for yourself. ' 7
