For the first tltme in the history of the
piano business pianos which are entirely
satisfactory so far as tone, workmanship
and finish are concerned are being ex
changed by their owners. These exchanges
are being made for the PIANOLA PIANO,
the first complete piano." A perfect pi
ano, containing a Metrastyle Pianola (the
standard fliano-player of the world) within
its case. .
The PlanolarPiano presepts every ad
vantage possessed by the best type of an
upright it Is possible to produce. The pi
ano itself Is the famous Weber make.
The purpose of any piano Is to furnish
music, yet there are scores of pianos in
homes where they are seldom played, be
cause no one has time to keep up the
practice necessary to play them with sat
isfaction to themselves and to others. But.
since the Metrostyle Pianola has been
built into it, the piano stands alone, an
Instrument uoop which the very finest
music can be" produced In the most mas
terly manner by persons who possess no
technical knowledge of music whatever,
yet a Pianola-Piano can also be played
with the fingers in the old-fashioned way.
The Christmas season presents an ex
cellent opportunity for all those who are
possessed of silent pianos to provide the
home" with a piano that every one can
play. The Instrument you now possess
will be accepted In part payment on the
pew instrument, and at a very liberal
valuation. "Prices of the Pianola-Piano
are from J500 to S1000. Moderate terms of
payment can be arranged for the pur

KENNEL GLUB BOLTS
Withdraws From the Western
Kennel League,
WILL JOIN A GREATER ONE
Following Action of California CJubs,
Portland Kennel Club Wii! Apply
for Charter in American
Kennel League.
After an animated but harmonious
meeting of two hours last night, the
board of directors of the Portland Ken
nel Club yotpd to secede from the West
ern Keppel League and apply for a char
ter In the American Kennel League, the
secretary being so instructed. This ac
tion was taken by the directors because
they believe a member of the latter
league has more advantages and that
amalgamation with the league will have
a stimulating effect as far as the local
plub Is concerned.
Several clubs In the State of California
have left the Western Kennel League
recently, amalgamating with the Ameri
can Kennel League. This has caused
other elubs in the coast .country to dis
cuss the advisability of doing likewise,
especially as the secession of the Califor
nia clubs weakened the Western League
considerably. The matter of joining the
American League appealed to the Port
land club, and a special meeting of di
rectors was ordered for last evening.
At this meeting correspondence bo
tween the local club and the officials of
the American League was read and dls-
cussed, the directors unanimously decid
ing that it would be beneficial to leave
the Western League and affiliate with
the larger and mpre Important associa
tion. Speaking of the result of the meet
ing last night, William Qoldman said:
"We believe in taking this- action that
the club will be greatly benefited. Since
the secession of the California clubs,
many of which were very important to
the welfare of the Western Kennel
League, the league has been weakened,
and other clubs which have not as yet
taken action are discussing the advis
ability of withdrawing and joining the
American League, believing that they
will secure greater advantages by so
doing. We discussed tho matter thor
oughly and came to the conclusion that it
would be the best thing for the club to
secede in the footsteps of the California
clubs. WTe accordingly voted to Instruct
the secretary to apply to the Amerloan
Kennel League for a charter."
Michael thought he would become a star
knight of the saddle, hut he went broke,
lost 110,000 very quickly and then returned
to the wheel.
Manager P. T, Powers, who Is conduct
ing the six-day grind, In speaking of the
passing of Michaels, the other day said:
"I giiess. he made all of $150,000 in. the
game when It was at its warmest. He
took such good care qf It that no one ever
dreamed that he would go broHe. Me
wasn't a jneap little chap, but he had to
take care of his mother and father, he
always said, and he expected to be mar
ried some day.
"His defeat by Bobby waltnour scemea
to take the stamina out of him. He
should have rested and waited fo- It to
come back.
"Instead, he followed the idea that he
would make a world wonder on the turf,
as he had on the cycle path. His first
loss happened after he had bought a sta
ble to race with dpwn In Louisville. It
cpgt him all ef $10,000. He knew nothing
about horses, and when he began to put
dawn his money it began to fly. Even
When he recovered from Murphy the price
he paid for the stable half of his savings
had been eaten up by his horses.
"He tried to get back into bicycling.
But the game was not what it used to be,
and the motor pace had superseded the
old quad and sextet pace, and his science
was useless.
"Then he went back to the jockey Idea
again and went abroad, hoping to -wiry on
foreign tracks. It was no use. and he
Anally landed back on the path at Berlin.
There he got his injury.
"Michael made his first winning here
only a- year v after he first distinguished
himself "by winning an amateur cham
pionship In Wales. Warburton picked
him up and matched him against Star
buck. The match, -witnessed by 27,000 peo
ple at Manhattan Beach, netted Michael
close on $10,000, Including the $2500 purser
for he had put all the money he could beg
borrow or scrape together on himself. As
an unknown against a favorlto he got the
big end of tho money. After the race he
counted his winnings in a sort of daze
He had never seen so much before.
"After that race he backed "himsell
everywhere he wont, and rode an honest
race every time. Not a year passed that
he did not add at least $10,000 to his stack.
"Nobody over knew how much he won
except generally by the size of his smile.
"If ho had taken to automoblllng as the
other bicycle riders did, when the whee!
went out of popularity, he might have
been still smiling and still adding to hi:
winnings.'
WON AND LOST A FORTUNE.
Jimmy Michael Made $150,000 Bi
cycling and Lost It on the Turf.
Jimmy Michael, the little Welsh rabbit,
wbo died while ep route to the six-day
bike race now going on in New York, left
behind him little of the fortune he made.
His hicycie racing career covered a period
of about seven years, and in that tijne
he won. together with the purses and the
money he wagered on himself, something
like $150,000. Michael's money was not
thrown away on fast livipg, but in an at
tempt to make a jockey out of himself.
Julip and Poppy Dangerous Flowers.
The florist held a tulip in his hand.
"Some people claim that a tulip has no
smell." he said. "As a matter of fact It
has a dangerous smell. Take a tulip of
a deep crimson color and inhale it with
profpund inspirations, and it will be apt
to make you lightheaded. Tou will say
and do queer things dance, sing, fight,
swear, and so on. For two hours you will
cut up In this way. Afterward you will
be depressed.
"The poppy Is another dangerous flower.
A young woman of a nervous tempera
ment, If she lingers among a bed of pop
ples, will grow drowsy, the same as it
she had smoked a 'pipe or two of opium.
In Asia Minor, where the opium manufac
turers cultivate vast fields of poppies,
tourists inspecting the beautiful flowers
often become altogether incapacitated.
They get so sleepy they can hardly talk.
They reel in their gait. In some casea
they have to be put to bed."

Now in an advertisement it is impossible to tell you of the bargains in fine umbrellas we are offering unless you call and see the
umbrellas themselves. It is only ncessary to remember that we have always held the reputation for selling umbrellas of the
best quality, as well as that of carrying the largest and best assortment of fine handles on the Coast. We hold this reputation be
cause we manufacture our urnbrellas from our own exclusive patterns and from special materials selected and manufactured es
pecially for us and, of course, our umbrellas arc different from the common store umbrellas. k
THE REASON for this great reduction in prices at this time is that we made up a great many fine umbrellas last Summer
for our Fall trade, but the weather has been against us so that we have not sold half of them : and to keep our stock nice and fresh
we are selling them out at just the price of the handles. We never carry a large stock of umbrellas made up, for the majority of
our stock is in handles and material which we make up as we need. Any store carrying an unusually large stock is bound to have
many old ready-to-split umbrellas to sell you at reduced prices.
