TILE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE Poem Gy3i TOO QUICK TO LET 00! When I sit on the porch nftor sundown, . An' quiotly puff nt my cob. My mind sorter dwolls on tho feller That works hlssolf out of a Job. . Tho follow that growls nt his pittance," An' envlos tho man who has more. ' Thnro ain't n blamo thing ho encounters. Uut touches tho spot where ho's sore. Ho don't enjoy stretching tho traces, Nor champing his teeth on tho bits, An' so, like u blame balky orltter, , Ho humps n few times an Jes' quits. You can search every spot In creation, - An' you'll find what I toll you Is so,, The most ondopendablc Yahoo " Is tho man that's quick to let go. Then, give mo tho man that's a stayer, No matter how humble his lot, Who novor complains at misfortune, Nor pines nt the little ho's got. WILSON TOUT. Editor and Publisher.

The tone aim is universal, plays all makes of records perfectly without the use of attach ments, and without changing the position of tho jewel or needle. No matter What type of record is being played, Pathe's tone aim is always on a straight line, giving a straight, steady pull from friction point to swivel center. Note the absence of any ofiaet joints in this' "tone aim. The Pathe sapphire ball is round, smooth and per manent, never injures or wears out your records and does not scratch. The' ti'buble'- of "Changing needles is eliminated by using the Pathe. The mb'tor used in the Pathe is of the Swiss type to be compared with the won derful Swiss Avatches because of its unusual smoothness of operation. This motor is used in a large majority of phonographs manufactured in America . THE SWISS MOTOR used in Pathe has two thirty-two foot springs and adjustable bronze bearings giving sixty-four feet of pulling power that is as "smooth as oil" to the last rev olution. ' . Pathe 'tone and enunciation can not be described in words, you must liear it to fully appreciate- quality and clearness. ' Pathe cabinets are built from genuine walnut mahog any or oak, positively no cheap imitations are ever used, and you will find the finishes to be excellent. Note that all Pathe's are finished alike on all sides, it is not necessary to keep your Pathe backed against the wall to hide an unsightly, unfinished back.
