paper in the Herald's Home Course in

would seem will be of special interest
to farmers in this part of the west.
A convenient place to .subscribe for
periodicals is at the Alliance postoffice,
where Carl W. Thomas can take your
subscription. He has the agency for
a fine list of magazines and other pub
lications. See his ad in The Herald.
We are pleased to note the fine trade
the Alliance Shoe store is having under
the new management of J. M. Mc
Namara. There is trade here sufficient
to give one exclusive shoe house a good
' patronage, such as this store is getting.
William E. Lotspeich, a tesident of
Deuel county, 18 miles south of Bing
ham, well and favorably known in this
vicinity, was a Hyanuis visitor Monday
evening, goiug from here to Alliance
the following morning. Hyanuis Tri
bune. Miss Irene Elliott returned last week
from Wyomiug.'where she spent sever
al weeks visiting relatives and fiiends.
Miss Elliott has assumed her former
position at Regan's millinery store,
which will be pleasant news to the
patrons of that popular establishment.
Henry Broich is still confined to his
home with rheumatism and his condi
tion is but slightly improved. It is
now about six weeks since he was at

adopt the Scottsbluff method of sett!
ing the saloon question and keep them
out. Scottsbluff Herald.

of the great American bird, measuring
7?l feet from tip to tip and was sent to
a taxideunist at Custer, S. D, to be
mounted. He and John Caipeuter,Sr-,
have been working together and getting
good results one day taking 99 musk
rats. Grant County Tribune.
If school teachers were alwas a
thoughtful and painstaking in regard to
the welfare ol their scholars as were
Professor Hayes and .his assistant
teachers of the city schools on Monday
of this week, there would not be so
many children lost or suffer badly on
their way home from school, even in
the worst storms. By the help of the
telephone and otherwise the Alliance
teachers ascertained that all pupils
were safely at home before night.
Even the elements seem to have
conspired with the officials of Alliance
in trying to improve the moral tone of
the city. Last Saturday night fire
broke out in a building formerly a
place of ill repute but which was re

covered that the building was almost
entirely destroyed.

ing the house was packed to the doors,
and several people were turned away
owing to lack of seating capacity. This
company will remain here the remaind
er of this week, concluding with a play
on Saturday evening.

THOUGHTS
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
WHY MISTAKES ARE MADE '
MISTAKES do not "happen" they are the results of
causes. A vast measure of time, money, and oppor
tunity Is lost in making mistakes and trying to rectify
them. To correct mistakes Is a good work, but to prevent
them is a far higher achievement. The "ounce of prevention"
may be applied by carefully considering some of the chief
causes of errors In business. They are:
Carelessness, Inattention and superficial Interest;
Laziness not being willing to take the trouble;
Accepting appearances as facts without Investigation;
Proceeding without discussion or advice;
Impulsive decisions not well thought out;
Lack of foresight and preparation; ,
Wrong theories and biased advice;
False economy and desire for gain;
Lack of tact and thoughtfulness;
Forgetting and neglect of duty;
Depending on those not properly Instructed;
Failure to take due precautions;
Failure to safeguard weak points;
Overconfldence and exaggerated hopes.
The remainder may be charitably classed as the result of
human frailty a last resort In explaining mistakes that can
not be rectified nor traced to their roots In undeveloped char
acter. (Copyright, 1W7, by Joteph B, BowUi.)
A Creditable Entertainment.
The initial entertainment of St- Ag
nes' Academy was given last Thursday
evening at the Phelan opera (191180.
This being the first entertainment since
the opening of the school last Septem
ber, there were some difficulties to bo
overcome in order to make it a success,
but that this was done is the universal
verdict of those who attended. Much
credit is due Mother Agatha, as well as
to her efficient assistants and the schol
ars, for the ptcparation and execution
of such an interesting program.
The names of those who were on the
program are: Virgil Caveti, Isabella
Higgins, Sadie Dunn, Eva Clements,
Claire Arinuth, Hazel Cramer, Delta
King, Mary Egan, Agnes Elmore, Ruth
Morris, Willie O'Kecfc, Edward
McNulty, Fred House and Michael
Nolan,
We are pleased tb say that it is the
intention to give another entertainment
at the close of the school year .next
June.

To Your PIANO
;j v r
J -v -v 1 -v
'jrT" II B average owner of a piano uses lcs,s jmlg.
int'iit in caring for it than any other piece
of furniture ho possesses. A good wash
tub costs one dollar. A good piano costs over
three hundred times us much, yet sometimes the
wush-tub receives the most actual care.
Some people expect Impossibilities of their pi
anos. It would seem that because the purchas
ing of a piano Is to many u very Important event
aud Involves quite a largo expenditure, they
expect It not only to last a long lifetime, but to
keep In perfect order and give satisfaction with
out its receiving any 'cure other than seeing that
it remntns in the house right side up.
A piano should have more care than a watch,
and certainly no thinking person would expect
his watch to keep good time aud run year after,
year without care, and without being cleaned
and regulated about every twelve months. A
piano has a delicate mechanism und many of the
parts aro as finely adjusted as the works of a
watch, and it needs more care becausu its works
and case (action, etc.) will not stand tho changes
of temperature so well.
You ask, "How often should my piano be
tuned?" l'erhaps tho best answer is: "As often
as it needs it," though many would never be able
to judge from such an answer. The piano needs
more tuning the first year of Us existence tlian
thereafter, because tho strings nre uotsutliclent-
ly stretched and the parts settled, or us we say
in pluno parlance, it is not fully "set". A piano
should have at leabt four tunings the first year.
Your piano came from tho factory in good
condition, but of course got out of tune, as
piunos do every few mouths, so you sent for a
tuner. Now, how did you select that tuner?
Hero is an important point, for tho future of
the instrument depends upon skillful treatment.
If you employ a bungler, your piano will suffer,
and too many bungler.s will send the best piano
ever made to tho scrap heup in time.
I call your attention to these points because
I wish to give you a little information ubout
piano tuning and demonstrate to you that I am
equipped and will give your piano as tender and
skillful care as the most careful physician be
stows upon his patient.
Placed in the hands of 11 11 expert tuner the
life of any good piano is long and its purity of
tone will be maintained, not because the strings
ulone are tuned to a certain accurate pitch, but
because the expert will give tho Instrument the
necessary tuning, voicing, adjustments and
action regulating.
There are many so-called tuners who have
good ears, but utterly lack the mechanical skill
and knowledge to repair the action, make, ad
justments, etc. - On the other hand, there are
plenty of mechanics who can do the mechanical
part, hut know no more about voicing and
tuning than a novice. You must haw the
mechanic and tuner combined.
Another point of extreme impoitance is the
accurate setting of the equal temperament, and
I eoidd enumerate many other others, all of
which the really expert timer considers nnd
which 1 will guarantee to give you.
Great progress has been made in piano tuning
as well us iu other professions of late years, and
to get the best results one must keep abreast of
the times. That was why I took the full course
of the Niles Oryant School of Piana Tuning, of Battle
Creek, Mich., the largest and most thoroughly
equipped school of piano tuning in the world, iu
fact, the only one of much more thun local im
portance, This courbo provides thorough in
struction in every branch of the profession and
my work since receiving my diploma there has
established my right to claim for myself the
title of Expert Piano Tuner.
When tho slightest irregularity of action or
tone is uoticed, send for me, for "a stitch iu
time saves nine," aud I can easily prevent what
would bo hard to remedy in a month's time and
what might take many dollars from the value
of your piano should you place It upon the
market. ,
Uy dropping me a postal at any tlmo I will
call and inspect your piano, and will put It iu
thorough repair as well as perfect tune.
