Thoroughness!
Thoroughness in Everything;—
Big and Little
These few words tell the cause of Vose superiority-
Its owners are an army; its friends number millions.
In the most remotecornersof tliecountry the Vose is enjoyed.
Its popularity is universal. It's the piano of the people, one
known to possess every essential of superior piano construction.
Its reliability is as famous as its name. It is an instrument that
will not fail you.
Vose pianos are sold under the strongest guarantee. They
are better today than they have ever been. For fifly-six years the
watchword .of their makers has been EVOLUTION. Never sat-
isfied with what'had been done the Vose family has steadily and
earnestly striven for yet better achievements. The result—the
Vose piano is absolutely the best made at the price for' which it
is sold.
That's why you hear so much about Vose tone. That's why
you hear so much/about Vose action. That's why each case is of
such artistic design. That's why, in short, every Vose sold
earns satisfaction.
Both quality and economy are obtained by every Vose buyer.
Yoti can purchase one in this store for $360. That price Is the
lowest in the United States for this make piano. And besides it
is not necessary to pay the whole amount at one time. Ten dollars
a month will buy a Vose here and the only charge for the privi-
lege of buying under the time payment is interest at 6 per
cent per annum.
Besides Vose, we are factory representatives for Steinway,
Weber, Hardman, Ludwig, Gabler, Elburn, Harwood, Schaeffer,
etc

MIL JURY
(Associated Fress)
r.flnton. 111., Feb. 18—The Jury in the
Snell $2,000,000 will case was discharged
by Judge Cochran*: late today, being un-
able to reach a verdict. Hichard Snell,
the contestant, announce that he will
ask a new trial of the case at the May
term of court.
The last ballot stood eight for the
contestant to four for the proponents of
the will. The jury had boen out since
Saturday.
The suit to break the will of Colonel
Thomas Snell was brought by the aged
and eccentric millionaire's son, Hichard
Snell, president of the Clinton bank. It
has been rife with sensations, chief of
which were the "Snell letters" written
by women and young girLs to the old
man. who was willing to pay lavishly for
being loved and for being told so In af-
fectionately worded epistles in which ap.
pe/ils for money mingled with expressions
of endearment. Among the letters were
some from the wife of a clergyman, who
not only expressed her own love but told
Snell that her daughter. 16 years old,
would love him If he would lend her mon-
ey. Letters from the girl herself, bear-
ing out the promise of the mother, were
introduced at the trial of the suit to
break the will.
TO RESIGN
(English Premier Said to Be Con-
, templating Resignation — Will
Retain Ilis Seat in House of
Commons
(Associated Press)
IrtMidun. Feb. IS—Humors were numer-
ous tonight In the lobbies of the, house
of commons of the imminent translation
oT Sir Henry Camp boll-Ban nerman to the
peerage or his resignation from the pre-
miership. inquiries in the best informed
quarters, however, Indicate that the pre-
mier's position has not changed since the
latter part of January, when It was said
that he would give his uttentlon to only
the more Important matter* of state. Htr
Henry is still far from robust health, and
before long, unless he becomes stronger,
some definite course must be taken. It is
understood that no decision is likely to
be taken before Kaster, when, If he still
finds the duties of the premiership too
great a tax. he will resign his position in
favor of Herbert H. Asqulth and retain
his seat In the commons rather than ac-
cept a peerage, thus following Glad-
stone's example.

The Swina and the Flower
Oh me! I saw a biuje and loathsome sty,
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine
were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the nostril snd
the eye;
Then spoke a voice, "Behold the source
of lard!"
I fled, aud saw a field that seemed at fixat
One glistening mass of roses pure and
white,
With dewy buds 'mid dark green foliatre
nursed;
And, as 1 lingered o'er the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that
Southern scene.
Whispered, " Heboid the source of
COTTOLENE!"
