more than the annoyance of tick

the racheted spool alarmed household

against the tense window panes. The
rattle of corn on the door panels waa
also distinctive of the pranks which

WE EXCHANGE
RECORDS

Bring us your old disc records that
you have grown tired of (either CO.
luInbia or Victor), and we will eX-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 80 cents for your 1O-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
Fhe new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
decided advancement in the art of
record making. They have full,
sweet tone, and owing to the manner
in which they are made they have a
less ratching tone; the needle seems
to run smoother on the record. We
also wish to introduce to your notice
the new Grand Opera Sound Box,
which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand
Opera Sound Box for any of the old
style Columbia sound boxes now on
the market. Call at our warerooms
and get our plan of exchange. We
carry the largest line of records in
the city.

Dear Lord Kind Lord
Gracious Lord I pray
Thou wilt look on all love
Tenderly to-day.
Weed their hearts Of WEAKNESS;
Scatter every care
Down a wake Of angel wings
Winnowing the air.
Bring unto the sOrrowing
All release from pain.
Let the lips OF laughter
Overflow again
And with all the needy
O divide. / pray.
This vast treasure OF content
That is mine to-day.
James Whitcomb Riley.
