Music on the GrnphOph0ne.

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, wilcnablc
its owner to have at pleasure music o.
any kind-from that of a bag pipe to that
of a 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
Phonograph Co, 720-722 Olive St, St.
Louis, Mo, you can obtain a catalogue
that will give full information as to prices
of Graphophone outfits.

Christmas day is most nigh here.
Somehow it don't seem to me
Christmas like it used to be,
Christmas with it's ice and snow,

Weeks an weeks before 1t come;
Somcthin in the atmosphere

Didn't need no almanacs;
That was one O. Natures TAGS.

Cedar wreaths an holly spray
An the stores, how they were drest,
Tinsel till you couldn't rest;
Every window fixed up pat,
Candy canes, and things like that;

An all kinds o fol-de-rols.

The Christmas Tree Lights.

When holiday weeks almost over,
And broken are some of the toys,
When Christmas tree needles are dropping
And drums will not give out noise.
When someone has said, ITS nuisance
This tree must be carried away"
And we stand around and look gloomy,
And beg for it "just one more day"
There's one the thing that keeps up Cur
spirits;
The best of the weeks merry nights
Is Just at the last, when we children
May blow out the Christmas tree lights.
The little tots, Doris and Douglas,
They blow out the ones lowest down,
Their faces get reddcr and redder;
Their foreheads are all in trown
Then Alice, the next high by measure;
Puts out all the candles half low;
And then I, the oldest and tallest,
| blow, and blow, and blow
But even can't reach the top ones,
SO father lifts up Baby Grace;
Her dear little mouth is a circle,
All wrinked her sweet little face.
She blows out the tiptopmost candles;
We clap and hurrah when she's done;
And that is the end of the Christmas,
The very-last-bit-of- the-fun,
But all through the year It's pleasure
To think of our holiday nights
The best coming last, when we children
May blow out eChristmas-tre lights.

There is quite an improvement in the APP
pearance of our village by the repairs of the
house of Mr.. Maxwell, which are nearly
completed. In appearance it is really a
new house, and it is an event in our village
which we are proud to report.
Our farmers were disappointed in the
wheat crop, which did notcome up to prom.
Use. The corn crop we expected to be
partial failure, and half crop is the best
that it can be put at.
All kinds of fruit except apples were
abundant here.

Died, on Friday, September End, 1893, a
her residence near Derwood, Leila A, wifi
of George W. Thompson, of typhoid fever
aged 80 years and II months. She leaves flv,
children to mourn her loss.
She was loved by all who knew her fol
her kindness and lovable disposition. The
funeral services were held at the house by
Rev. John Kingdom, after which she was
laid to rest in the Rockville Cemetery. Hell
remains were followed by her many rela
tives and friends. We hope that our loss
may be her eternal gain.
Fond hearts are draped In mourning,
Her loved ones mourn to day;
The gift which God had given us
He came and took away.
oh dark and cherries is our homo
That once was bright and fair;
My darling mothers loving voice
Is heard no longer there.
But in the icy arms Of death
She doth so sweetly sleep,
And close beside our darling's grave
Her loved ones often weep.
BY her daughter, Il.
