President Roosevelt might very probably
dislike the comparison, but It is the fact
that hla "dear Brother of France" to
adopt the royal style Is as enthusiastic
a hunter as himself. Tbe two presidents
of the two great republics of the world
are nimrods, both.
There's a difference, of course; a differ
ence depending upon the vastly dissimilar
nature of the two countries. By the side
of the "big game" exploit of President
Roosevelt, "Papa Emile" has the air of a
small boy pelting stones at garden spar
rows from a catapult. He has not at his
disposal tbe vast spaces teeming with su
perb wild life that Teddy made his own

Rainboulllet or Marly, onoe the demeenee
of the kings of Frsnce, now the happy
hunting grounds of the democratlo presi

Both these classic spots are within
thirty miles of Paris. President Loubet

President Loubet haa ample reason for

He Is very "thick" also with M. Qauth

of tbe old school, who Is often Invited to

whoso dry Eighteenth century humor keeps
tbe president beaming with pleasure.
Tbeee homely dinners at Ramboulllet are
tbe Joy of Mme. Loubet's heart; except

with functions that take htm away from

The first of last month we had ths
opportunity to buy for spot cash
from eastern factories, over SOD pianos
at a most decided reduction from the
piano dealers' regular wholesale fig
ure. It seemed like a large undertak
ing, as we hsd already contracted for
our regular fall atock, but tbe prices
quoted us were such a temptation,
v.n decided to try it. We bought tbe
entire lot. Some are here already
tbe balance on the way. That means
we must sell 100 more pianos than
we expected to this fall. It means
we must move them terribly fast, or
hire a atorage bouse with all kinds
of expenaes.
HAVE WE MADE A MISTAKE
It so, at any rate tbe piano buyers
of Omaha and vicinity are the gain
ers. We know this. We are swamped
with new, expensive planoa from
the most famous factories of America
and we HAVE TO TURN s portion
of this Immense stock Immediately
Into cash and contracts. Commencing
Monday morning, September 15th, and
continuing only until the stock Is
sufficiently reduced, we shall start a

which the good city of Omaha has
