Guaranteed. c j,r ale by Beaton Dru- Co Advmiremtnt, We tell today of the manner in which the Orkin Brothers piano Club Member's obligation is cancelled fJT There is a very important feature connected w with our big Inaugural Piano Club. This feature provides against the possibility of the piano being lost to the family in event the head of the family should die before the piano is fully paid for. Cjf This unexcelled feature is set forth in the face of the contract in the simplest, yet strongest, language like this: ff "If the signer of tiiis contract should die during the life thereof, and all weekly rentals have beeny paid when due, the remaining installments will be cancelled forthwith, and a receipt, in full for the pimno turned over tm the fmmily of the deceased. This is a simple statement without any "frills" that covers the whole story. We want this club to be co-operative and helpful to each and every member in it. We want the saving to each and every member to be the greatest possible. We want ever- protection that we can think of to go to all its members. In short, we want this big deal, with which to inaugurate this beautiful new Orkin' s Brothers Club piano to be a standing advertisement for us as long as we are in business, and this cancelling of the debt is its crown ing feature. Cjf If the head of the family dies if the bread winner dies if the scource of income is stopped by death the piano is not lost to the family. The family does not have to work and worry to meet the remaining pay ments. They are immediately cancelled and a clear "receipt in full" is given to the family of the deceased. Isn't this a comforting and reassuring idea? If, with one year's use, thfe piano is not satisfactory, we will exchange it Cjf Think of buying a suite of furniture, an automo bile, a watch or anything of value, with the privilege of exchanging it at any time within one year from the time you bought it, and not lose a penny in the tran" saction. ST That is exactly what we are willing to do with these Orkin Brothers Club Pianos. The club member can come to our store and make another selection. He can select a piano of equal grade or a better grade. . Whatever money he has paid, whether it is $40, $50, $60, $100, -or whatever the amount,- will be credited to the price of his new piano, and we will take the original Club piano back without the loss of a single ceht to him. These Pianos are worth $350. Tho Club price is $257.50 thus saving you $92.50. The terms are $5 cash and $1.25 a week less than Yz the regular terms. The pianos are worth $350. The Orkin Brothers Club price is $257. SO. The price includes everything. There are no extras of any kind. No interest to be added. Nothing to be added for freight, stool, scarf; absolutely no extras. Two hundred and fifty-seven dollars and fifty cents is the price, and the price in cludes everything. These 500 pianos will be sold, 5 dollars cash, then 1 dollar and 25 cents a week. The 5 dollars just about covers the cartage and delivering yet the 5 dollar pay ment made when you join the club is credited to your account. The piano is delivered immediately. You do not have to wait until the club is filled. You - get your piano when you join. The remainder is payable every week. Club members do not have to pay but 1 dollar and 25 cents a week. This gives them 202 weeks in which to pay for the piano, and still get it at the Club price of 2 (hundred and fifty-seven dollars and fifty cents, or a straight out saving of $92.50. For the convenience of people wke cannot come in during the dmy appointments will be made to show the pianos evenings. Formerly The Bennett Co. 16th and Harney Streets Omaha, Neb.

HE STICKS BYjflS PIGEONS Italian Refuses Good Job to Stay Here with His Pets. HAS WON THEM 1Y KINDNESS Uncb Day n Flock ot Birds Cornea to Ills 9tn4 for Their Dallr 9"P piy at Peaamta, tTOfcfe Ha Freely Gtrca. Martin Ilara&no is not a member of the Humane soclot), and perhapa tho Humane society does not know there ii such a person as Martin Ramano, yet Martin ia his humble way lis Just made a sic rlftce that those interested in humane work might be glad to plac down on the credit side ot the sreat record to offset the long list of abuses of dumb brutes. Martin Romano has just refused a Job as cook In a hotel lu Dea Moines. The Job was to pay him $15 per week. Noth ing remarkable about that, but Martin had a motive for refusing the Job. This little squat Italian fruit vender, although $15 ia a large sum to him, has refused the Job because he could not bear to leave to the mercy of tha cruel Ne braska winters, the fate of a doxen hand some pigeons that daily visit him and that belong to nobody. For four years Ramano hsa been feeding peanuts to these birds at his frutt stand at the southwest corner ot Thirteenth and Doug las streets. He has formed an attach ment for these pigeons that no one can break. Every day at noon some three ot four of theso pigeons flutter down from the root ot the old Omaha Savings bank building and from a small tower across the. street. They dive directly to the side walk In front ot Romano's fruit stand, and then when tho little Italian Is ready for them they flutter up and alight ou his hand. It Is said by thoso who have been cles"" sods,td with him that the peanuts thus eaten out of his hand often exceeds the amount ot the same com modity sold by the vender on that day. Romano's fruit and nut business Is not a large one, and h has plenty of time to make friends with the pigeons. Four years ago when he started his fruit stand he began to throw peanuts into the street for the pigeons. At the motion of his arm they flew away. Soon they learned to come back to pick up the peanuts. Later they learned to approach the stand walk ing boldly on the cement sidewalk. Next they ventured closer to the little, dark man. cocked a red ere at him susplol usly, and then grabbed a nut out of his hand when he held it close to the walk. The noxt step was for them to alight in his hands, and now on any day a pigeon may be seen to leap from tho tower on the southeast corner of the street, dive straight toward the fruit vender and alight on his hand without so much as alighting on the sidewalk first for maneu vers, Romano's fruit bustneea Is poor In winter and he looked longingly at the offer from Des Moines of $15 per week for a hotel cook. "No go," he said, "Me feed pigeons. Nebraska cold. Much snow, Pigeons hungry. Me feed peanuts."
