The magic lantern entertainment at
the Presbyterian church Tuesday night
was we'll attended and full of interest for
the little ones. There were some ANUS
answers made by the youngsters in the
audience. For instance, when Mt.
SAM was thrown apon the canvas half
IL dozen little hands went up and rs
many voices rang out, "Devils Heart"
(fhc noble old hill just south of our
city, A cottage in grove was shown,
and the children said it was Dana's tone
OF the beauty spot, on our lake,. When
a large building WAS reflected on the
canvas it was pronounced the Lakevicw
(the big hotel that was burned in our
great fire lust summer.) The older per-
sons present declared there was res
emblance in each case, but it would not
have been observed had not the child
rem been SO quick to recognize it.
