i. Eugene Field's dainty verse has been
given a very effective setting by Mr. Bass-
ford. The arrangement is unusually effec-
tive and displays marked individuality.
Key of O, suitable for contralto.
2 Another high-class ballad which
deserves commendation. The melody is
charming and the scoring, with its spinning
wheel effect, is pleasing. Both cf Mr.
Bassford's ballads deserve a widepopularity.
3, 4. Of the "popular" order. No. 3 is an
amateurish effort in the stereotyped three-
fourth tempo. No. 4 is some degrees
better than the former. By the way, when
will our so-called composers display some
little originality and give the "waltz song 1 '
a rest?
voices without accompaniment; "Bene-
dicite Omnia Opera," Nos. 1 and 2, set to
music in chant form; "We Love the Place,
O God," a short anthem or introit with or
without accompaniment. The list closes
with a charming anthem for Christmas
time entitled "Sing We Merrily with Heart
and Voice." The words are from an ancient
carol.

J. & C. FISCHER,
Sales are Made
in these Jin de siecle days by men who are
thoroughly conversant down to the minut-
est details with that which they offer to
prospective customers. A piano salesman
will obtain much more satisfactory results
if he acquaints himself with the mystery of
the action and technical analysis of the
instrument. He can do this
By Studying
"The Piano"
the best book ever written, and so pro-
nounced by the highest experts, on the art
of tuning and regulating. It thoroughly
acquaints the reader with the grand, the
upright, the square piano on a scientific
basis.
It is illustrated with carefully
designed diagrams accurately numbering
and naming each part of the instrument.
It should be in every salesman's library.
Tuners, whether amateurs or experts,
recognize it as the standard work of their
craft. No "kit" is complete without it.
Cloth bound, over one hundred pages.
Sent post paid on receipt of one dollar.

ASK QUESTIONS.
When a piano manufacturer tells you
his pianos are the best, and that no others
are worth considering, ask questions.
Ask him "Why?"
As a matter of fact most pianos are
good; the makers would kz fcclizh. *" r 7 "
other than their best.
The differences between them are
small, but small things are very im-
portant.
It is by excelling m many little tilings
that the WESER PIANO is lifted above
the common mediocrity of pianodom.
Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the
hammers, our new duett uesk or our
praetice pedal—both patented—which
altogether make so tnany dealers persist
in having the Weser Piano.
Talk to us about it.
Ask us questions.
