Hartwig, now, and had the best phonograph in Saserkopee. But she took one more shot: "All the same, it would be a good thing for you if you had some clever people or some society people coming here often. It would advertise the place as nothing else would." "Well, we'll see about that," said Father which meant, of course, that he wouldn't see about it.
We've rather overworked the phonograph of late." "Not even 'The Beautiful Night of Love'?" The inquiry held an insistent shade of regret. But Eben, as his glance went shiftily to the face of the clock, was as steady and as cool as one may become under the temporary keying of a repressed and brain-wrecking excitement.
They reached the camp shortly after Henderson and were led by that gentleman to the club tent, where fully half the camp was gathered. The phonograph was set to going as they came in and following this, Baxter, the orator of the camp, got up and made a speech of welcome that consumed fifteen minutes of time and his entire vocabulary.
As that reduced his costume to a few knick-knacks, Billy retired from the busy mart until we could arrange matters. We dined with Horne. His official residence was most interesting. The main room was very high to beams and a grass-thatched roof, with a well-brushed earth floor covered with mats.

For Denver had stated that he had plenty of music himself, if he could ever get his phonograph from Globe. Yet he had had the instrument for nearly a week and never unpacked the records. They were all good records, no cheap stuff or rag-time; but somehow, with her singing, it didn't seem right to start up a machine against her.
In New York there was a ceaseless demand for it, and with the aid of Hilbourne L. Roosevelt, a famous organ builder, and uncle of ex-President Roosevelt, concerts were given at which the phonograph was "featured." To manage this novel show business the services of James Redpath were called into requisition with great success.
