Music ON the GraphophOne.

Few people appreciate the marvellous
powers of the Graphophone as an enter
tainer. 1t is an instrument which,
though it costs much less than the least
expensive musical instrument, willenablc
its owner to have at pleasure music o.
any kind--from that of bag pipe to that
of grand military band. 1t reproduces
vocal selections and gives one command
of every pleasure that appeals to the
sense of hearing. No investment pays
such large returns in pleasure. Besides
reproducing the musical and other rec
ords made for entertainment purposes,
the Graphophone will record immediate
ly and reproduce at once and as often as
is desired, your own words or song, or
any sound. By writing to the Columbia
Photograph Co., 72o-722 Olive ST., St.
Louis, Mo, you can obtain a catalogue
that will give full information as TO prices
of Graphophonc outfits.

TO heredity, to the transmission OF

possibilities of growth and development.
IL each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the Level

of feature, excentricities OF speech ana

general. "A curious example OF this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett Canton, Ca, in whose

given her heart to a prosperous young

Haywood owns a little farm, upon

three in the family-William's parents
and himself. The young man was an
enthusiastic member of one OF the
companies selected from the Sixth regi-

army. When the call came William
was teaching school and he consulted
Mary. The young man told his fiancee
