OAKLAND PLAYER PIANO

But having heard other playing device^ and noticed
other players sitting around out of commission, be-
lieved it to be of the same stripe—just a mechanical
contrivance, continually getting out, of order. This
man, however, one day was induced to investigate,
and to play upon the Oakland Player-Piano. That
settled it. Within a week he had an Oakland Player^
Piano in his home, and—well here’s what he said:
"At first I felt a little awkward when attempting to entertain
our friends. But, pshaw! that didn’t last Ion*. In a very short wtrtle
J had a repertoire of nearly fifty pieces, that I could play as well as
anyone. Wife’s just as good at It as I. and say. you ought to see Dad.
Everybody wants to hear him play ‘those good old tunes,’ as he
calls them. The kids, too, are thoroughly Interested, and little Jennie
already is teasing to take ’real’ music lessons. I honestly believe that
the purchase of that player-piano was the happiest inspiration of my
life, for it’s the simon pure joy maker In our entire family.”
Now, with that Silent Plano In your home, what do you think
of this man’s logic—hadn't you better do likewise?
Remember the price of the Oakland Player Is no higher than
that asked for instruments of distinctly Inferior calibre. Sold on
easy terins with free music.

VIRGINIA
Writen for the ‘Uimes by
Ada Selma Herbertf
We have all read about the Patri-
cians and Plebeians of ancient Rome.
Rome was then ruled by twelve men,
called Decemvirs. Appius Claudius,
a very, very wicked man, was at the
head of these. He employed twelve
men, called llctors, as his bodyguard.
As he passed through the streets of
Rome the men shrank away with fear
and eyed him askance- Close behind
him always followed his slave, Marcus,
who was almost as wicked as his mas-
ter, and always ready to harm the poor
plebeians at his master’s beck and call.
Virginia was a beautiful plebeian
maiden. One afternoon she came
skipping and singing from school and
passed Appius Claudius. Why should
she fear him, she a plebian girl? But
his evil eye followed her as she went
her way. and he loved her with the
accursed lrive of his accursed race. «*"
The next day she again came skip-
ping on her way to school. She was
always happy, and well she might be,
for she and her father lived alone and
were contented. The Forum was alive
and buzzing with people. As she went
her way she stopped here and there,
speaking to her friends.
Suddenlv Marcus, at his master's
bidding, slipped up behind and caught
her by the wrist. She screamed, and
people came running from all direc-
tions. A blacksmith, Muraena, struck
Marcus such a blow that he reeled and
let her go, but glared rtercely around
him and exclaimed: ’’She’s mine; I
will have her. She Is my slave, horn
In my house, and stolen away wrhen
she was only 12 hours old. Appius
Claudius wants her. Beware of his
anger.”

he people were silent at the horror
of it. But they could do nothing. The
city was ruled by the wlcken ten. A
youth, Virginia’s sweetheart, Iccillus
by name, sprang upon the platform in
the Forum and pleaded with the peo-
ple to do something. He told them
that now was-the time; would they be
men today or slaves forever; this was
the reason Scaevolus’ hand was burnt
off In the Tuscan fire. ’’They have
taken everything away from us— our
riches, our glory, bur honor, every-
thing a man can possess, and now they
are taking away the love of our
daughters and wives- You (pointing
to some patricians) who have every-
thing, why cannot you leave us our
daughters and wives?” Many were
weeping ^yhen the youth stepped
down.
Virginius, the girl’s father, had
come up and heard most of the speech
of Iccillus. Would he let Claudius
have Virginia for his slavfe? No,
never! Leading her aside he picked
up a knife which had been laid down
by a butcher and hid it in his robe.
His eyes grew dim and his voice be-
gan to swell as, In a hoarse, changed
voice, ho said; "Farewell, sweet
child, farewell. Oh, how I have loved
her, and hdw she loved me. How hap-
pj' our home has been, the happiest !n
all Rome. We envied not others’
riches. We only wanted e^ch other.
But the time has come. See how
Claudius points his finger this way.
Oh, my little girl, there is no way but
this,” and catching up his knife he
stabbed her to heart- She fell and,
with one sob, died!
For a moment all held their breath.
The stillness was dreadful. Then as if
coming to their senses, some ran to
the girl; some ran for a doctor, and
soon all was confusion again. But It
was too late! Virginius had made a
good job of his work. With pale face
and bloodshot eyes, he stood by Claud-
ius and faced the people, holding the
bloody knife above his head- "You
have seen It,” he said. "Do as you
like with me.” Then, with a dreadful
groan he went his way.
Claudius sprang forward and cried:
"Stop him, dead or alive; I’ll give a
thousand pounds of copper for his
head!” He looked about him, but none
obeyed. The crowd parted and Vir-
giniua went safely to'his home.
As the friends of Virginia gathered
about h-»r and laid her on a bier,
Claudius' face wore the Claudian
scowl and sneer He tried to clear
the market place, but failed. His llc-
tors also tried, hut were glad to get
r "ay, blood streaming down their
faces. '
Special to Tne Time*.
St. Louis, Nov. 25.—As the beat
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
so the best evidence of present fi-
nancial conditions in Texas is that the
state ia making less outside demand
for. crop and Investment money than
ever before, and bankers and capital-
ists there are even offering some out-
of-state loans.
According to the hankers of St.
Louts and elsewhere, Texas has not
’ been a borrower of funds this year,
one banker here stating that hanks
in Texas have not only eleaneji up
their liabilities for their customers
and their own accounts, but that
they have been looking for good com-
mercial paper offerings for invest-
ment. This has proved considerable
of a disappointment to St. Louis bank-
ers, who. during former harvest sea-
sons, had for a period of about thirty
days sent a quarter of a million dol-
lars a day to Texas to supply the sea-
son’s demands. In place of that
money outlet, banks there have been
/forced to purchase thirty-day and
sixty-day commercial paper on the
market.
Great Development Flans.
. As a result of the conditions men-
tioned, bankers here consider Texas In
better financial shape than it has over
been, which Is further emphasized by
the number of great development
propositions which are being pushed
through In that state or planned ft)
commence soon, and in which many
St. Louis capitalists are interested.
A few people from this state have
gone to Canada, but there Is no dan-
ger of many going, as the whole trend
from Missouri seems to he In some
part of Texas. Railroads running out
ot St. Louis and Kansas City report
an unusually large fall and winter's
bustness in immigration andtravel to
Texas. There are several reasons for
this. Last winter was a very hard
one, and a great' many farmers who
have read of the open winters and
long growing seasons of Texas are at
traded by that climate to locate
there, and beside Missouri this will
likely be true of the people of all the
northern state where last winter and
spring were long and cold.
Trend Toward Texas.
Other reasons for predicting large
immigration to and investments in
Texas this winter are that reports of
the great vegetable,' fruit, grain and
-cotton crops In that state have been
spread throughout the north, and also
accounts of finding of numerous oil
wells. It Is also generally recognized
here that Texas, with a number of
good seaports, is bound to become the
receiving and shipping point for the
whole or a large part of the states
west of the Mississippi. Texas now
has seven deep water ports and three
others which have ship channels that
are being deepened, as compared with
only five other seaports on the entire
gulf coast in four other states. Thne
is little doubt also of the great an<V
growing trade and commerce which IS
bound to spring up with Mexico as
soon as they have a settled govern
ment, and with the other Latln-
American countries and Islands.
For the above reasons arid others
there Is bound to be a rush of farmers
to get Texas land at the present, cheap
prices, and of investment capital to
get established in Texas and secure
a foothold there before the rush of
commerce makes it the greatest state
in the union in manufacturing, popu-
lation. production and for general
business.

Mountainous to the Imagination hi tho
record of its almost unbelievable resist-

of A. S, a carpenter •! y.-urs of age, of
the Johns Hopkins hospital. This young
man fell Into the hands of certain hila-
rious students, and, while saturated wore
or less with their open hearted hospitality,
made ho bold hh To boast of his prowess

tivity. Challenged by a wager of cheers
and small beer, he sat himself down and
swallowed l£0H various and sundry articles,

dles, tins, dog collars and two aud one-
half ounce* of broken glass. In hi* ac-

Why Salves Can’t Cure Eczema
Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has-
been given up by seienthsts, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the
pore* and cannot penetrate to the
inner skin below the epidermis where
the eczema germs are lodged.
