tions.

EDWARD A. JOLL, VETERAN
TUNER ON RETIRED LIST
"Grand Old Man" Leaves Lyon & Healy After Forty-
Six Years of Service.
Forty-six years ago, Edward A. Joll started to
work for Lyon & Healy, Chicago, as an outside
piano tuner, and with the exception of a slight in-
terval, has continued in the same capacity until now.
Mr. Joll was 79 years old on September 11, and was
then retired on a pension. He is justly entitled to
this rest after so many years of activity, but it is
with considerable regret that his associates lose the
daily contact with the "Grand Old Man" of Lyon &
Healy's piano tuning department.
It is doubtful if the equal of jYIr. Joll's record
exists. Until the last day of his employment he
"carried on" with young men, on the job every morn-
ing before 7:30. He has been a pacemaker to the
finish and an example of industry, strength and
inspiration to be envied by every young man. He
attributes it all to his mode of living, vegetarian diet,
two quarts of milk a day, no tobacco, and "early to
bed and early to rise."
While on a visit recently at his daughter's summer
home in the Ozark mountains, Mr. Joll met with an
accident through a fall, which lamed him.
400 MILES BY AUTO.
J. J. Krall of Tyndall, S. D., is a Chicago visitor.
Mr. Krall drove to Chicago in his machine, following
a 400-mile auto trip from Tyndall to serve on the
United States grand jury.
NEW ALLIANCE, O., STORE.

ACCOMPANIMENT ROLLS
New Q R S List Provides Excellent Piano
Music for Musicians Who Wish to Play
Their Own Accompaniments.
The new bulletin of accompaniment rolls presents
an attractive array of music under proper headings
and is filled with suggestions for musicians of all
kinds.
In the bulletin are accompaniments for the 'cello,
Columbia records, violin, violin and voice, Victor
records, songs, and for two pianos. These piano
accompaniments will afford much pleasure to musi-
cians who play other instruments or sing and wish
to play their accompaniment themselves. The sheet
music can be obtained at any sheet music dealer's.

and the following list shows the excellent variety of
