"He W6rks Like a Beaver" Used to Be a common saying among country boys long ago. An old Boston newspaper c! ailed the "Rehearsal" published an advertisement in 1747 which read: ,To be sold by the printer of this paper the very best negro in this town; is as hearty as a horse, as brisk as a bird and will work like a beaver." In this city at thelast election the Hampton Mooreites Worked Like Beavers and they got the votes that gave the city its second Congressional Mayor. In the Western country there used to be a castor trfee, generally known as the beaver tree, from the fact that beavers used the bark as food and the wood as beaver dams. To keep as good a store as we want this to be all of us must work steadily like beavers. Signed Jan.

(First Floor, Chestnut) The Ampico Reproducing Piano Is More Than Human It has often been said of certain player and reproducing pianos that they were "almost human" in the fidelity with which they reproduced the play ing of the masters who made the rolls. It might be said of the Ampico reproducing piano that it is more than human, for in addition to reproducing the playing of the living artist so that the man's very personality appears, it also plays with absolute perfection every time. It is only human to make mistakes. Even the masters of music make them sometimes, but only a perfect performance is retained for an Ampico roll, and each playing by the Ampico is therefore faultless. Ampico reproducing pianos are sold in Philadelphia at Wanamaker's only and are associated with the following famous pianos. Ampico Uprights Chickering, $2000. - I Knabe, $1950. Schomacker, $1600.
