"T TT THEN the day closes and I draw down
V V the curtains it sometimes seems that
a tender little piece is what I want.
So I often take the dainty little 'Humoresque
of Dvorak's a difficult piece perhaps on the
piano but on the Pianola !
"My wife tells me I play the 'Humoresque'
with really delightful feeling I who never
knew a note of music, whose stiff fingers never
rould have learned to play a note on the old-
fashioned pianoforte. A gentle pressure of my
feet upon the pedals and all the pretty tenderness of

move the Metrostyle lever to the left to keep the slow, slow,
languor of it. Now 1 move it to the right, and all the charming,
humorous playfulness of this little gem lilts briskly along. Here the.
Themodist, without thought from me, brings the delicate melody out,
not loudly but with just the proper emphasis. Here the Sustaining
Tedal device gives it the lovely singing tone. The instrument sounds
buman so exquisite is its response. There is nothing of the hard, pre
cise quality of the ordinary player piano. It is reflecting absolutely the
subtlest color of my music feeling. It is teaching- me to interpret. It
is helping me to gain musical effects too complex for me to think about.
' "And my practice on the Pianola has been so short and so enjoyable .
and easy. And I have the satisfaction of producing music which is real ;
of accomplishing something of actually playing so that my wife and
friends love to listen to me." '
t5fc PIANOLA
Enables you to play the piano toell
Hare you ever stopped to wonder why
the Pianola has become so well-known in
such a 'short time? Perhaps you do not
know that in every civilized country in the
world it is just as popular as it is here.
It is because the Pianola is a really
marvellous instrument with which you can
not only play the piano but play it with
truly musical feeling. This is tha impor
tant part, and this is why the Pianola has
been endorsed by every great musician of
the world, and why it differs so immeasur
ably from all the so-called player pianos
which try to imitate it.

PLAYGROUND ACTION PENDS
Lewis County School Superintendent
Withholds Opinion.
CENTRA LIA, Wash.. Dec. 18. (Spe
cial.) On hie return from BeUinghsvm,
where he attended the convention of
County School Superintendents of the
state, at which the question of play
ground apparatus was discussed in de
tail, A. C. Canterbury, Lewis County
superintendent, asserts that ho will
take no action on the matter, leaving
it up to the directors of each separate
district.
51r. Canterbury eays he will not at
tempt to advise the directors either to
maintain or abandon the apparatus al
ready installed. As the result of the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
holding districts liable for injuries, the
Centralia and several other districts
already hava abandoned their appa
ratus. More will probably follow suit,
but others will retain what they have
and even add more, safeguarding each
piece so that no serious accidents may
occur.
