PLAYER - PIANO
THE A. B. CHASE is the sovereign among PIANO
PLAYERS. It has surpassed all other players and
has^gone far in advance of older and highly advertised
inferior^makes.
It Is Different
THE A. B. CHASE is unlike other players. Its system
is different.
It is more easily opprated and produces better results
than^other, players.
It is different in appearance. With the A. B. CHASE
you sit m a restful, position in an "easy" chair and
enjoy the music. It is different in that the mechanism
is all below the keyboard and the music roll is near
the expression levers, enabling the operator to watch
the roll and give perfect expression to the music.
Don t pay a big price for an old-fashioned player that
has not passed|the A. B. C. stage, when you' can
just as well own the best, the A. B. Chase. This re-
markable player is now to be seen at
THE

The Country Editor,
What is the most agreeable
occupation? Doubtless our read-
ers would answer that question
in a hundred different ways.
Our mind has been carried back-
to a newspaper article written
by Clyde H. Knox, editor and
owner of the Times-Star of
Sedan, Kas., and published in
the Beacon of Wichita, Kas.
In his opinion the ideal life
consists in counducting- a Kansas
countiy weekly. The country
editoi, he thinks, lives longest
and dies happiest, and heaven
seems just a little nearer to the
shop than to any other point on
earth. Such a paper draws sus
tainance from the grass roots
and thrives best when the editor
comes closest to the hearts of his
subscribers. He must welcome
the new born babe one day, and
on what seems like the morrow
he must describe the babe of
yesterday as the bride of un-
stinted charm and grace. Every
death is close to him, every
success, every promotion in busi-
ness, every graduation from the
high school. Clippings from his
paper are found, yellow and
faded, in the family Bible and
each of them to somebody, marks
one of the mountain peaks or
deep valleys of life. Mr. Knox
makes a good case ior his occu-
pation. and happv indeed is the
man who sees his work not as a
necessary task, but as the highest
and most agreeable of opportu-
nities.—Collier's Weekly.

Deal gently with the man who
has lived out his fourscore years.
However much he may try, it
will be hard for him to make
himself congenial with those
now associated with him. He is
one to himself. Those who be-
gan life with him are gone.
They dropped out by the way-
side. He trudges along his
weary way and often longs for a
word of tenderness, a warm'
Texas I clasp of the hand, a God bless
you. The voice that once used
to tht ill him is now silent, songu
that once inspired him have now
lost their melody, and the tender
hand that once touched him is
now vanished. His world is out
of sight and there is not much in
the world where he now is.
Sometimef he starts up and tries
to be cheerful, but strange
sounds greet his ears and "a
strange life is whirling past him.
1 here are no laces now that
| -ook familiar to him. He is a
[lonely old man, regardless of the
.act that lie tries to conceal the
Knowledge of it from himself.
Oliver Wendell Holmes gives
us a graphic picture of the old
man and how stealthily his age
comes upon him: "At fifty vo'ur
vessel is staunch, and you are on
deck with all the rest, in all
weathers. At sixty the vessel
still floats and yon are in the
At seventy you, with a
few fellow passengers, are on a
iaft. At eighty you are on a
spar, to which possibly, one or
two or three friends of about
your own age are still clinging."
Therefore, be kind to the old
man. Tell him an anecdote once
in a while and laugh with him.
When he looks depressed take
him by the band and tell him
you are glad to see him, and
when the tears dim his old eyes,
brush them away and help him
to be glad. Make him think that
be is still worth something to
life, and that he is a benediction
to us all—Ex.
