amuse themselves and please many
others BY giving az open air concert on

placing this in position to draw the
liquid at moments notice, they pro-
ceeded to gather enough brush to start
two singal fires, and then commenced
their melodies. At first their voices
could not be heard, except occasionally
on Main street, but when the noise of
business in the streets below ceased the
voices and music was distinctly heard,
sounding very sweet coming from that
distance. just as the full moon ap-
peared above the horizion the fires were
lighted and the singers commenced once
more their songs, making the general
effect very pretty. The boys staid on
on the Hill until the Lager in the key

COMING EvETs. - We recommend
children as frst-class parties to commu-
nicate facts that would otherwise remain
hidden, and they generally succeed in
hurting out the truth ct the most en-
barrassing moment to all concerned. As
an instance of this We will mention that
being engaged in conversation with
lady during the week, her little four
year-old daughter ran up to her and
said, in q joyful tone of voice, "Oh,
mamma! Mrs. - is making whole
lot Of nice baby clothes." OF course we
did not know what that meant, but to
spare our bushes hastily bid good day
and lett the unwary child to its fate.
