OCEAN MUSIC.
A New Rage in the Music World.


From information furnished by the
Tolbert r. Ingram Music Company o,
Denver, Colorado, the indications are
that the music buying public is getting
the Ocean Music" craze. 1t all origi
mated with the publication by this firm
of the little ocean characteristic
"Nymphs O. the Mist" and the next
few years will, no doubt, see the issu'
ance of many new pieces along this
special line. The music publishers
generally try to supply what the pub
lie calls for and now the desire seems
to be for Ocean Music" "Nymphs o
the Mist" possesses that weird charm
that the ocean characterizes. 1t Is no,
complicated number, but at the same
time it is well written and appeals
alike to the best musical taste as well
as to the popular fancy From present
indications, the sale of this number
will far exceed the publishers most
sanguine expectations.

Thus. John had enough TO spur him

Another moment and he stood erect

lug--a muscular tension OF the ath-

accomplished
He lay quietly upon tie roof for
little time 90 recover his breath before
venturing upon voyage OF explora-
tion.
The battle was not yet won-no
one knew this better than Colonel
John
The first act OF the soldier was 10
allow himself to slide down the slop-
Ing roof until he rested his feet In the
gutter.
This gave him an opportunity to re-
lieye the strain upon his arms
Surely he must discover some
meansNof reaching the ground In
safety be II waterpipe or light
ming rod. he cared little, since the
opportunity was what he sought.
BY degrees the colonel made his
way from one end OF the roof to the
other.
Not a single tree offered friendly
limb.
True. he did discover a tin water.
spout at the center, but here would
be considerable risk In attempting a
descent through such means.
Rather than climb the slope OF the
roof and descend again on the other
side he resolved to trust his weight
TO the waterpipe.
with his knees he clutched the
tin. and presently was hanging there
half way down to the shed.
Serious doubts as to the stability
OF the pipe now assumed leading
place In his mind. but he had gone toe
| far to retreat.
/ Aias. his fears proved too wei
grounded.
The wretched fabric gave way the
very instant his full weight restes

was natural that the doughty warrio
should make much more expedi
