We shall have on display about 75 pianos, pur chased from different factories. These pianos were especially con structed to show the piano maufacturers the advancement made in the art of piano making, at their annual convention which lately convened in Richmond, Va. If you enjoy real art; if you enjoy tuneful music, you will not fail to take advantage of this invitation. HAY DEN BROS. FROM FACTORY TO USER Tho manufacturers who exhibited in Richmond, not caring to ship the pianos back to their factories, disposed of them to different dealers at a small fraction of the cost of manufacturing. "We, among others, were fortunate in having a representative at this convention who purchased about 75 of the leading makes. As we bought, so shall we sell, below the factory's regular price. Our warerooms are crowded with high grade standard pianos, and we urge tho prospective piano purchaser before purchasing elsewhere to investigate our wondrously low prices and remarkably easy terms. Every piano we sell is sold with a written guarantee your money back if you are not satisfied. We urge you to accept this invitation for Saturday because you will be pleased. "We do not expect to make Saturday a large sales day, although if you are in the market we can guarantee you a greater bargain than you can get elsewhere. MA. YBBN BROS.

MILLIKAN'S ELECTRIC ION Nature of tho Discovery Reported by a Chicago Inlverslty Professor. Prof. n. A. Mllllkan of the University of Chicago, a man young In years, baa dis covered after four years of study that for which scientists for ages have been looking. Prof. Mllllkan ha discovered the ion of electricity. The Ion of electricity Is the smallest, the moat minute particle or atom in the 'mys terious electrical charge of which the sci entists of the world know so little. While they have been atfle to harness this power ful mysterious force, they have admitted freely that they do not know very muoh about it, what It la or from whence it cornea As A result of the discovery of Mllllkan the world today Is much nearer than ever before to the aotual discovery of electricity. The unknown haa been reduced to the atom and the atom haa been measured and ob served, not' once but many times In the course of the experiments. Prof. MUUkan's great discovery waa made known to the members of the Sigma Chi fraternity, of which he Is a member. In a formal statement to the membera of the fraternity Prof. Mllllkan said: "We have succeeded in Isolating an In dividual ion, and holding It under observa tion for an indefinite length of time an hour or more if desired. "We have been able to give a tangible demonstration that the correctness of the view advanced many yeara ago that an electric charge la not a homogeneous some thing a strain In the ether or an 'Im ponderable fluid' spread uniformly over the surfao of tha charged body, but that It haa a definite granular structure con sists in fact of a definite number of specka or atom of electricity exactly allka, pep pered over the surface of the charged body. "It followa, of course, that an eleotrio current which 1 simply a charge in mo tion, consists of a movement of these atoms of electricity through or over the conduct ing body. "This is not asserting anything about the ultimate nature of electricity, but la merely pushing the unknown down Into theae ulti mata electrlo unit or atoms. As a matter of fact we are pretty certain that all ma terial stoma contain as constituents these ultimate eleotrio atoms, and it la the vogue now to surmise that these electrical atoms are the ultimate unlu out of which all matter 1 built up. "We have sucoeeded In making a very precise measurement of the value of this ultimate or elementary electrical charge and find It to be t.UxlO.10 absolute leo troatatlo units. We think this value can not be In error by more than one-half of 1 per cent W have been able to bring forward new, direct and most convincing evidence of the correctness of the klnetlo theory of matter, for we have not only 'shown directly that a moWoul of air la In rapid (notion, but we have meaaured tha order of magnitude of It energy of agitation and find it to agree with the computations based upon the kinetic theory, ! "We have been able to prove that the great majority of the ion or an Lunlaed gas of both lMyjw3i one single elementary electrical. dlHChargo, but we have strong evidence that aome of these tons carry multiples of the elemen tary charge. "Our results demonstrate in a new way that the negative. Ion In air is considerably more mobile than 'is the positive ion this meana that its velocity of agitation Is greater and that it moves faster under the Influence of an electrical field. "Our results show that the law of fall of a droplet through a desisting medium, commonly known as Stokes' law, breaks down for droplets whose radius la less than .00018 centimeter. The resulta further show In Just what way this law breaks down. "In brief, the method by which all theae results have been obtained Is as followa: We blow a cloud of fine oil or mercury drops by means of an atomizer, and intro duce one of these drops through a pinhole into the spaces between the plates of a horizontal air condenser. "The droplet there catches one or more of the ions whl:n normally exist In air or which have been produced in the spaoe between the plate by any of the uaual Ionising agenta like radium or Xrays. The time of fall of this droplet through a meas ured distance is observed when no electri cal field exists between the platea, then a field of strength between 1,000 and 8,000 volt per centimeter is thrown on and the time of rise of the droplet under the in fluence of thla field through the same dis tance Is again measured. "This operation is repeated and the speeds checked en indefinite number of times, or until the droplet catchea a new ion, when It speed under the influence of the field instantly changes, though the speed under gravity remains constant 'From the sign and magnitude of the change In speed the algn and exact value of the change carried by a captured ion ia determined. The air in a single observa tion need not exoeed one-third of 1 per cent From the valuea of the speeds observed all of the conclusions above may be directly deduced." Chicago American.

"I went out to dinner the other night," reminlscently said the man who had Just succeeded In lighting his cigar with the third match. "In fact, I went out to din ner . in such a whole-souled, enthusiastic way I haven't recovered yet! "You see, the Walworths, who live at a big family hotel, Invited ua out on a Thurs day night for dinner and the dance follow ing. The dances always are dress-up af fairs, and my wife reminded me in the morning that I- must get home early from the office in order to surround myself with my evening clothes. I nearly broke my neck to do so. My collar button rolled away only twice and I managed to find the hooks on the back of my wife's gown shu had a brand new party dress so we ar rived only half an hour late. "We went right upstairs' to the Wal worths' suite and tapped on the door. There was no answer. Then I knocked bard. Nothing happened. " 'Well, I think that's queer,' said my wife. She wa anxloua to get some powder on her nose and waa irritable. She said she'd wait there while I went down to the desk to Inquire about our host "The clerk said the Walwortha were in at dinner. I made him repeat the state ment which he did, distinctly and calmly. He seemed utterly unmoved by the situa tion. When I got my breath and told him to have my name aant in he seemed dub ious. He said Mr. Walworth didn't like to be disturbed when he was In. the dining room, but If I Insisted "I told him In a carefully repressed tone that I did insist "Presently Mr. Walworth came out Ho came with an air of irritated surprise, which was hard to beat. He greeted me with politeness and then remarked that he and Mrs. Walworth were within fifteen minutes of finishing dinner, and would 1 take the evening paper and amuse myself until "I think my face must have halted him there, for he trailed off into nothing and finally blurted out, "Say, what the dickens do you want anyhow T" "I blew up then. 'Wantl' I roared, letting my overcoat fall back so he might see my expanse of shirt front 'What the deuce do you suppose I want? Do you think I traveled away down here Just for the pleasure of gazing upon your countenance? I want dinner, you unmitigated chump! Didn't you ask me down? And upstairs in the hall, outside your door, is my wife, patiently waiting, unless she ha died from hunger elnca I left bar there!" "wen, waiwortn twinea Himself over the desk and roared. Tou thought tt was Thursday night, didn't youT he inquired soothingly. 'Well, it happens to be Wednes day night.' "And so It wa. My wife and I never will know how we chanced to skip a day.

We know that we must always give more for the money than anyone elsethat's the "United Idea" that's the only way chain . store concerns can succeed if they don't do that they fail. You see chain store concerns succeeding in many lines of business; the reason is simply that they bring the consumer right up to the manufacturer and give him more for his money than he can get any other way Remember That! Better cigars for your money is what the United Cigar Stores mean to you Remember That ! The United Stores retail over 300,000,000 cigars a year at? wholesale prices a million cigars a day. The output of several large factories, goes over our counters directly to the smoker at an immense saving to him. Our customers get one-third more from us, cigars at least one-third better that's why there are hundreds of successful United Stores constantly increasing in volume and number. We have found that merit always wins. We want you to try our cigars. Whether you buy one cigar or a box you buy at the thousand price Remember Thatl Here are a few illustrations: La Tunita Princessas Benefactor Superiors at 5c each Palma Ie Cuba Bouquets ) These are actually $50.00 per thousand cigars at wholesale.

V We have all kinds of cigars which we retail at wholesale prices from 2c each to 20c each, and in addition we aim to carry in each city all brands having a local reputation for quality so that smokers can buy anything they wish from us and save money.

" 'The Joke,' said I, 'is on me. Come on we'll go out to tho country club and have dinner!' "Then Mrs. Walworth got Into the game. 'What!' she cried, 'and I in a shirt waist and tailor suit and Jessie In all those things!' "Well, finally the girls compromised. We went up to Walworths' rooms, and, while Jessie toned down her gorceousness, Mrs. Walworth began sticking things on. Jessie took' off her Jeweled bandeau and donned Mrs. Walworth' turban and prom ised to keep on her wrap, which was only mildly hilarious. Mrs. Walworth wor her new spring hat, a bunch of violets and some extra chains and pins to help out her plain tailor suit, and Walworth Just had to grin and bear his buslnesa clothes. "We couldn't get a train, so Walworth phoned for a taxi, and when tt came it was In charge of a pirate, who confided that he waa only a repair man, and, while our lives were safe in his hands, he didn't know a thing about the way to get to the club. So Walworth had to sit out In front with the driver. "When we got there we met everjllvlng soul we knew, and each one took a sep arate stare at our Incongruously garbed party. "Coming home the locomotive broke down and we had to walk across a stub ble field to a street car. "After all that Walworth and his wife had the nerve to ask sweetly if we weren't going to gu through, all that dress agony again and come to the dance the next night! I'm afraid the Walworths have no aense of humor!" Chicago Newa. THE MULE AS AN ARTIST Marvelous Genius of Its Brash Ex hibited la "An Adriatic 8 onset." There has never been an art exhibi tion without the presence of a number of chronic kickers; but the case of the mulo who painted a picture for a Paris exhibition is probably unique. It seems that a picture of an Italian sunset signed with an artistic name, waa painted by a brush tied to the tail of a donkey. It is not probable that the picture dif fered essentially from some of the re markable effects of modern Impressionists, who resort to any expedient to gain the end desired. A celling was decorated by means of a sponge sosked In certain oils and thrown against the celling. The fam ous case of Whistler va Kuskln will be recalled. WhlsUer had painted "Fhe Fall Ing Rocket," spatter of Indeterminate stars against nocturnal blackness. Ruskln was caustic He declared that Whistler had the Impudence to charge two hundred guineas for 'flinging a pot of paint In the public' face." The Jury waa out an hour, and awarder the artist on farthing by way of damages. It Is hsrd to tell what soma of the bl sarre studies of the impressionist are In I tended to represent. One reaches the con clusion that bloba of pink and green are meant for a sea-beach at low tide, and la disconcerted to find that an apple or chard la intended, liven some of the old masters are likely to be misconstrued. Mark Twain said that Turner's "Blav Ship" put him In mind of a yellow vat dying in a platter of stewed tomatoes. The mule who painted the Adrlatlo sun set might get a Job as a magazine illustra tor and do tailpieces. Fhlladolphla Ledger.
