The Perkins Familu
' Have Their Troubles
Why the Head of the Family Did
.Not Exchange an Old Piano
For a New One.
[Copyright, 1906. by the McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.]
MR. AND MRS. PERKINS had
got seated for the evening
and were seemingly content
' and happy when she looked
tip from her book and queried:
"Mr. Perkins, would it put you out
very much if I were to ask you a question
r
"Why, dear, you may ask me ten
thousand."
"And you won't be vexed?"
"Nothing you could say would vex
me. Proceed."
-> "Well, one day last May, when we
were sitting on the front steps, I spoke
+o von flhoiit the niano. Do you re
member?"
"I do, my dear, and I have, the evidence
right here in my pocket. My
memorandum book says it was on the
18th day at 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
It was a beautiful day. What you said
to me about the piano was:
" It is forty years old.
" 'It is old fashioned.
" 'It has straight legs.
" There are seven broken keys.
- " 'The pedals are out of order.
" 'It wheezes like an old horse.
" 'Everybody makes fun of it
" 'Can't you turn it in toward a new
one?'
"Those were your observations, Mrs.
Perkins. Have you anything to add to
them tonight?" >
"Did you put down what you said in
reply?"
"I did, and here It Is:
" 'Yes, it is an old piano. ,
44'I have been ashamed of It for
years.
"'During the next three months I
shall turn It in toward a new one.
"'It must drive the neighbors distracted
to hear you try to play on It.
"'Say no more, darling. You shall
have a new piano before the 1st of
September.'
"Those were our respective remarks
and observations, Mrs. Perkins, as ac
"she was pounding."
curately recorded here, and have you
anything to add to them at this moment?"
"Well, I wanted tfc call your attention
to the fact that September bad
come and gone."
"I acknowledge it."
"And the old piano stands there yet
in the parlor." , .
"Acknowledged again."
"And, so far as I know, no steps
have been taken to replace it with a
new one."
"Not a step, Mrs. Perkins, and I am
now prepared to reason the case with
you. I have been expecting to reason
it with you for the last month?in fact.
I was hoping you would speak to me
about it this very evening.'*
"Well, I have spoken."
"You see, my dear," began Mr. Perkins,
as he drew a long breath, "we
must begin at the beginning. Neither
of us is a musician. We have neither
son nor daughter to play. We might
just as well have a corn sheller in the
parlor for all the use we could make
of it. If we had a thousand dollar
piano, what good would it do us?"
"Why. I play, and you know I d,;
ana nave praisea me," repneu
Perkins in an injured tone.
"My dear woman, let us look facts
in the face. You drum on the piano.
You howl an accompaniment. You roll
your eyes. You hump your shoulders.
F At various times I have said that you
played beautifully. I did it to keep
you playing and hare revenge on the
neighbors."
"How dare you talk to me that
way?"
"Come, now, be reasonable. You
never iuok. a. music ictwwu m yum nte,
did you?"
"No. but what of that?"
"You can't sing any more than a
crow."
"But if I can't"?
"I don't revert to these things to humiliate
you, Mrs. Perkins, but simply
U clear the ground for a start. It is
a husband's business ta praise his
wife's- playing even if it gives him
toothache. The cold fact is that neither
of us can play or sing. Therefore,
of what use is a thousand dollar piano?
You will answer that one would look
nice la the parlor. I agree with you.
but when you have a $1,000 piano you
must have a $500 rug t# go with it:
also a new parlor suit."
"But there are several neighbors who
1 '
i? 8M?H??B?MH IIIIMiBIII tKa?gga?
can play and sing," pr otested Mrs. I'erkins.
"I "haven't the slightest doubt of It, I
Mrs. Perkins. There are several neightors
who can wear your hats and
snoes, but are you going to keep hats j
and shoes for the neighbors? Suppose, I
however, that we went ahead and got
a new piano. Do you know that piano
playing makes women round shouldered
and weak chested and consumptive?"
"I never heard that it did and don't
believe it."
"I could give you medical statistics
by the cartload. Within the last ten
years paralysis of the arms has become
so common that the doctors attribute
it to piano playing. There are
hundreds of instances where young
ladles have lost the use of both arms
for a year. If we had a piano I
couldn't run the risk of your losiilg the
use of your arms. How, then, could
you longer hug me? How prepare the
meals and make the bed?"
"You are simply trying to twist out
of it, just as you always do," said
Mrs. Perkins, with her eyes full of
tears.
r? ^?? * ? ?^ J nm
"My ueur, 1 urn uu nvi^ici. *
simply a logician and a philosopher. I
reason things to a conclusion. We
cannot afford a $1,000 piano, and on
top of it a $500 rug, a $250 parlor suit
and five or six paintings costing $100
apiece. All that capital would be shut
up in a cold parlor for the winter. If
put into ice for next season it might
be doubled. And there's another
thing."
"Oh, you can be finding excuses for
a week to come."
"This is no excuse, but a fact. That
old straight legged, broken keyed piano
belonged to my first w'ife. Don't jump
up and grow red in the face, for I'm
not hitting >at you. The first time I
called to see her, when we were both
young people, she was playing on that
piano. She was pounding. She was
? howling. Her eyes were rolling heavenward.
I fell in love with her at
once."
"I won't stay!" declared Mrs. Perkins
as she stamped her foot on the
floor. .
"Just a moment, my dear. She continued
to pound and howl all through
our engagement. She brought the old
alnnir whar? TCA WPTP married.
^lUUV UAVJU^ T< UVM ?? w ..
Every day and every evening it was
pound and howl. I talked to her of the
risks she ran, but she was self willed.
She finally began to fade. The doctor
said she lasted a year longer than he
expected, ljut she went with a rush
when she did go. She had been pound
ing and howling one evening and the
neighbors had telephoned for the police
and all the dogs for a mile around
were barking, when I observed a sudden
change come over her, and she fell
off the piano stool and was dead in a
moment She never opened her eyes
or spoke. There's my case, Mrs. Perkins,
and"?
"I say you are a dodger and a
twister!" exclaimed Mrs. Perkins as
she gave a sniff of contempt and walked
stiffly out of the room.
Mr. Perkins stooped to scratch his
ankle and then straightened up to
scratch his nose and then smiled and
-said to himself:"But,
then, don't a married man have
to be?" " M. QUAD.
