WHILE Mr. Cone, the secretary of the Kimball Com-

was off strictly for pleasure, but he jotted down a little
order as he passed through Denver, merely to keep his
hand in. He sold seventy-two pianos and fourteen or-
gans to the Denver agents of the house, but he was
simply out for pleasure. One wonders what number
