was the feature of the card, and fair
lot OF youngsters was engaged for II.
Proteus seemed to have the best sup

The Edison
Photograph
It's Satisfying Quality

T Ell Me make the music of a country and l care not who
makes its laws.' Music moves man; and thousands of
dollars are paid to hear music once. How the longing to
near the the same sweet strains again has gone unanswered IN
every heart. Who is satisfied with one hearing of music he likes?
When Mr.. Edison invented the Photograph, he provided the
hst tulhllment of this desire. The Phonograph plays each piece
TILL you are satisfed-tiH you have learned the strains and made
them your own. The scratching and the shrll notes of the old
time records and machines have been done away with by the Gold
Mould Process by which all Edison Records are now made. A
Reproducer has been invented that is exactly adapted to these
marvellous Records, and that fits every Photograph however old.
You may sit in your home and hear the thrilling tones that
appeal to the hidden chord within,-full, rich, and pure-not the
Imitation sound" Of the past, but a real reproduction.
The Photograph requires no skill-in five minutes YOU can
master it. The Monograph takes up no room-it stands on the
table when playing, and rests under it when idle.
The monograph and a supply of Records cost half the price of
a mechanical piano player and a decimal of the price of a piano.
Yet the Phonograph sings as sweetly and as clearly as the singer,
and renders perfectly the voices of the various instruments of the
orchestra or band, with their indescribable beauties of combina-
ton, of contrast, and of harmony.
twenty-five new records every month. You can keep in touch
with and have all the latest popular music every month at very
little cost. Come in, see the machines and hear them play, or bet

Laws should Be Published.

The fact that so many men are ar
rested for fishing Illegally is evidence,
says the Reading pa Times, of the
need of the publication of the laws.
Most men desire to keep within the
requirements Of the statutes regulating
fishing and hunting, but oftentimes
they do not know them or do not take
the trouble to inform themselves re-
garding them, and thus they get them
selves into the hands of the fish or
game wardens.
So many changes have been made in
the game laws from time to time that
it is difficult to keep informed. Each
legislature feels called upon to do some
thing affecting this matter, and new
laws are therefore apt to go into force
at almost any time regulating the dates
for hunting and fishing or regarding
other regulations of which the sports
men should be informed.
