siderable amount of new music and
by frequent. practice they play it
perfectly. Every member Of the or

an instrument for d number of years
and most of them can play u piece
at sight. They have given several
concerts on the street this season
and ON the occasion of social or
public gathering the band boys are
on hand to add to the pleasure by
their music The best of it is that it
is al! free. Their instructor is paid
each month and the band is in excel
lent condition financially. A good
band is one OF the best organizations
q city can have and we are glad to
see that our people realize the fact
and appreciate the efforts of the Har-
mOnia band

way. The other day he got into a
''scrap'' with another dog and in
trying to stop it Fred attempted to
take Mr.. Ponto by the collar and
kick him at the same time: Now
Ponto was onto Fred's curves and
lodged the boot. This caused him
to kick farther than he intended to,
and as a result strained his hack.
He fell and it was several minutes
before he could get to the house.
