The last Of three organ recitals for the
benefit Of the Christ Church choir boys
outing was given the afternoon Of April
Z at Christ Church. Georgetown. Mr.

Johns Church, Georgetown. played sew
eral numbers by Bach, "Asa's Death -
from Grieg's Peer Gynt" suite. and
March of the Israelites." by Costa Mrs.
Horness sang the lovely Hold Thou Ny
Hand" By Gounod. Mrs. Horness has q
beautiful mezzo soprano voice, but the
effect Of her song was somewhat msrred
by her position behind one Of the large
pillars of the church. which deadened the
sound of the music. Miss Heinrichs
played some violin solos and Mrs. Good
hue and Mr. J. II. Duffey sang. Miss Bell
was the accomDanist. The recital was
enjoyable and the attendance larger than
on the preceding occasions.

Several years ago John Pigg mar
ried a Miss Curtis. Several children
were the result of the union, and
Mrs. Pigg died La short time after
the death of his wife Mr.. Pigg mar
ried his tner-in-law, the widow
Curtis. The present Mrs. Pigg, who
was grandmother to the former Mrs.
Pigg's children, thus became their
step mother, as we'll as their grand
mother. she being their grand
mother, her husband, Of course, Is
their grandfather as well rs their
father, aud these children are not
only his children but his grand
children. The present John Pigg,
as grandfather of these children,
must be father to the father of the
children; therefore, John Plgg is his
own father and his own son. Chill
dren by this last m arriag will be
lf-brothers and sisters to the first
set; but they, being children of the
grandparents to the first, will, of
course, be uncles and aunts to the
first set.

held that the treasurer was the agent

KISSING TIME.

IT'S when the lark goes soaring
And the bee is at the bud,
When lightly dancing zephYrs
Sing over field aud flood,
When all sweet things in nature
Seen ioyfully a chime
IT'S then | wake my darling,
For it is kissing time!
Go, pretty lark, a. soaring,
And suck your sweets o bee!
Sing, 0 ye winds of summer,
Your songs to mine and me!
For with your song and rapture
Cometh the moment when
It's half past kissing time
And time to kiss again!
So, so the days go 6eeting
Like golden fancies free,
And every day that cometh
Is full of sweets for me,
And sweetest are those moments
My darling comes to climb
Into my lap to mind me
That it is kissing time!
Sometimes, maybe, he wanders
A Needless, aimless way
Sometimes, maybe, he loiters
In pretty, prattliug play,
But presently bethinks him,
And he hastens to me then,
For it's half past kissing time
And time to kiss again!
