I consider your piano equal to the Knabe, Decker or Weber. Rest assured that your work will be acknowledged when yon are a few years older. You cannot expect to jump into notoriety at once, but haye to wait patiently." Tbisfrom Mr. Hoffman is certainly very yalnable. ne is not only a large musical dealer, in Kansas City, but owns (Thicker ing Hall, in Leavenworth, Kan.

The Lauadryanan'n Tale of Woe. Willie Iee, proprietor of a washee washee establishment adjoining Frank Scbumaker's meat market on Fifth street, has a tale of abuse and thinks the small boy of Calumet is about as bad as any in the country. It appears that the boys have been bothering Willie for some time past by throwing snow balls at his w in dows and making themselves obnoxious in other ways. Willie had determined to get even at the first opportunity, and last Monday evening that opportunity came, so Willie supposed. A perfect shower of snow balls struck his laundry windows and Willie started out to find the boys who di J it. A a innocent boy was standing at Scbumaker's corner and Willie started after him and easily caught him. But the boy got away from his grasp and started down the street with tbelaundryman after him. The race was kept up uutil the pair reached Kingston's meat market, where Willie caught the boy again and was preparing to square things with him. The crowd interfered, however, and took the boy awav Irotn the Chinaman. The streets were very slippery at the time and dunng the race Willie lost one of his wooden slippers and continued barefooted. The bad boys who threw the snow balls were standing on the op posite side of the street enjoying what they called fun. YVarnlug to Iloya. On former seasons as soon as the Park ice rink was closed, a number of boys have been in the habit of breaking open the door and otherwise damaging the pro;erty. ;Tbe proprietor, although knowing who theculp-its were, refrained from taking any action in the matter, but as now his patience is worn out be has determined to prosecute any one found destroying his property, but as he does not wish to make any trouble be hopes that the youngsters will refruiu from doing any more mischief there, but if they do not they may rest assured they will not be so leniently treated as they have been in the past. While on this subject we may sav that any oae defacing or tampering with the mail coll' etion boxes or their contents or the locks is liable to a penalty of f 1,000 fine or three years imprisonment, and as Uncle Sam is not so easily fooled with as people generally, the boys bad better take notice and not interfere with the boxes in any way. Tbey were not put up for targets as some boys by their actions appear to imagine. Kxamlnatlou 1'oatponed. The examination of D. J.
