Mr. Shunter's friends told him that he would be one of the most popular prlvnte secretaries in City Hall since the days when J. Hampton Moore was private secretary to Mayor Ashbrldcc The new private secretary, when he takes office in City Hall after the first of the year, will mark a chance in type In privato secretaries to "Mayors so far as recent Mayors go, at any rate. air. onusicr will Ue tlie Iin'e mid Hearty Kind of secretary who believes in the Oqhanesque maxim, "Alwny.s leave them laughing when you sny uood-by." He has n way of receiving a visitor who is weighted down with Home heavy solution of grave public questions nnd winking the caller happy, even though he never sees the Alnynr-elect. One such caller desired to sec Mr. Moore nnd rxplain that horses in the service of the city should be protected against the cold of winter by a certain hind of blanket. And Skates for I'nllcriuen "Fine." said Sinister. "Uivnt stuff. I'm for It. Hut how about red sweaters for the horsesV Then, too, e might give the policemen roller skates so they could get up speed in pursuing crim inals." The visitor enjoyed the fun and left svith tho impression that he had made "a hit." "How does it feel to be n mayor's private secretary'" Mr. Shustcr was sked. "Same as always. I was born a secretary. I have ' been secretary to Mr, Moore so long that it seems as if I had always been a secretary." "What is the secret of being n good private secretary?" "Iielng the goat," replied Sinister with n broad smile. "Seriously, how ever, a private secretary is one who lakes the burden oft the shoulders of his chief; who relieves him of the details and only brings the Important things to the attention of the chief." "Another thing," said Sinister. "I believe that a private secretury should keep himself In the background and not try to set up in business for himself. The chief should be the whole works." "Have j on any special ideas for the office in City Hall?" wan another ques tion. Courtesj Ills Waldiunrcl "Yes." replied Mr. Sinister with emphasis. "I certainlj have. Callers at the Mayor's office should be received with courtesy. I am not cTitici.lng anybodj , but the one thing that I be lieve in is courtesy. A courteous secre tary is as much of an asset to a public official as a discourteous secretary is u dlstiAct liabtlltj. lie best serves his chief in public office who senes the pub lic well." Secretary Sinister is adept at getting rid of volumes of orrespondence. As secretary to the Major he will no doubt duplicate his performances ns secretary to Congressman Moore and to the At lantic Deeper Water Waj.s Association. Often he is seen in the congressman's office dictating letters to two or three stenographers, at almost the same time, answering the telephone and greeting visitors with a friendly word. As secretary to Congressman Moore since 100S Mr Sinister bus acquired a tvide acquaintance with public men of this and other cities. He is as famlliii with the leaders of the country who make Washington their political head quarters as he is with the ward rfhd division leaders of Philadelphia.

"As we rode iileimr French street, between Fourth ami Fifth streets, where the street is poorly lighted, Mrs. Deemer biw a man standing with some thing gleaming in his hand. She called to the chauffeur and nt the same time pushed me down, in the seat. "The speeding up of the car and my stooping position isnved 1115 life. The bullet crashed through the window of the car and lodged in the opposite side of the limousine, right in line with where mi head would normally hnve been. A plinlor of glass cut my left enr. but it's just u scratch. Fortunate? Well. I should sny so. And Mrs, Dee mer is the heroine.

Gosh, not I am willing to take chances. If they get mo before I spot them, nil right. "I've been forty-three years in the steel businss and I know 1 have to take chances.

Hardman Grand Pianos, $1050 Harrington Grand Pianos, $825 "Leadership" lies in the acclaim of others and not in self-assertion, and the very great majority of Grand Opera Stars most particular of people as to trusting themselves to sing with an instrument find inspiration and tonal support in the Hardman and order and use exclusively the Hardman. After years of fine accomplishment Messrs. Hardman, Peck & Co., New York, took over the good old plant of E. C. Harrington & Co., determined to produce the Hardman piano in the original Hardman factory and a less ex pensive line in the Harrington factor'. As to price, they held to their intention, but in musical excellence they brought the instruments to a new perfection. Therefore, choose Hardman or Harrington as your 'fancy dictates. Hardman, Peck & Co. vouch for both they make them. We share the calamity of having fewer pianos than X demanded Droduction cannot hold no. Not another & instrument is promised before Christmas.
