You Were
Bom to Play
f-ERE IS an instrument
that requires only a
natural love of music—
tKe mere inborn desire for musical expression common to ail—to
respond to you as the piano responds to a talented artist.
Ghe
Tilanualo
The Player-Piano that la all but human
u
t
is played beautifully by anybody who loves music because its ex-
pression is controlled from the pedals._ Each pedal stroke docs not
merely make certain notes strike but it makes them sound with the
exact volume and accent which your musical feeling desires. The
force and style of the stroke are transmitted from the pedals to the
piano strings as the striking of the artist’s fingers is transmitted
from the keys to the strings. It is as if the performer were in direct
contact with the piano action, so sensitive is the Manualo mecha-
nism to his subtlest wish. *
Come in, tty this remarkable Instrument and
get the book, “The A B C of the Manualo.'*

IER INTO VAULT ANI) ES-
CAPE WITH LOOT.
- TJie
Muskogee, Ok., Dec. 11.
Fn rmcrs' State Bank of Vhiita was
robln-d today by two masked men.
who, at the iioint of guns, compelled
the cashier to got in the vault and
after locking the door, looted the
hank of $15,785 ami escaped iu a high-
powered automobile.
The robbery occurred during the
noon hour. Cashier Jasiier S. Martiu
was alone In the hank when, the door
oiiened and two men came in with
guns. They asked where he kept the
currency. “Tell us ami he quick about
It,” said one of the roblArs. Martiu
directed them and they then forced
him into the vault and locked the
door.
After getting the money and putting
It in sucks, the robbers went outside,
wdiere two other men were waiting in
a car and drove away. The robbery
required- hut three minutes.
Within half an hour half a dozen
automobile jMisses were organized and
Ix-gan combing the country. News of
the robbery was quickly telephoned to
surrounding towns. A checking up
shows that $15,785 was missing.
A telephone message from Vintta to-
night says that one ]s»»e is tracing
the bandits to the northwest. They
are hended toward Kansas.
Today’s robbery was oik- of the
most daring and most profitable ever
attempted In Oklahoma. It was at noon
when the men drove up to the bank
and commanded’Martin to throw up
Ills hands. Scores of citizens saw the
men as they fled down the main street
of Vlnltn In their automobile. Shortly
nfterwnrd two men answering their
description were seen on a road south
of the city.

ONE CHILD'S GIIFT.
The Pest Gift to Children h to Teach
Them the Blessing of Gi t lug.
(Contributed.)
The season Is at hand when parents
go on an orgy of giving to their chil-
dren. Nothing is too good for them
that is at all within reach.
Vet isn't it a thoughtless man that Is
■willing to deny himself that. Ills chil-
dren may have and. .vet not give to
them that- l-cuiiliful gift, a vision of
unselfishness, To let 1110111 receive
and receive anil neyer to-teach them
to see how unworthy' it "is to he con-
tent with getting, when the unfortu-
nate, the cold and hungry nre with-
out. While children nre young and
Impressionable it Ls a crime counted
against sintig parentage when children
are not taught by examplo flu- obliga
(ton to other little folks who are in
hitter need. ,
Why not make your contribution to
the |H»or today, and have your child
Jo likewise. That children take lit-
erally to the ‘Saviour’s tenchirigs about
giving, even to the “coat on y'our
buck.” was oxampled recently. A lit-
tle fellow came running into the house
in Ids little union suit. Ills mother
■sum shocked hut the child said calmly,
“at poor little boy was lu rags and
colil. so I gave hint my pants, ’cause
you know what it says about giving
away your coat!” ;
Totfr child has just as big a heart If
you will only take the trduble to show
him that there are cold and naked
children I11 Sherman—for they are
here and you can see for yourself if
you want to!
