1908.
The love of noise Is q FREEDOM
inant characteristic of the Amer
lean people. Hence all occasions
for the exhibition of this spirit
are eagerly seized by old and
young. The advent of each new
Year is particularly characterized
lby this exhibition. Inaudible
and noiseless may be the foot of
Time, as Shakespeare expresses it,
but the human family make
amends for all defects of the
silent messenger.

prosperity. plenty any happiness
to every home aud this country.
