The Antiquity of the organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive OF all musical in
struments. While the pipes of Pan,
aside from that mythical parsonage,
indicate a very ancient use of pipes as
a means of producing musical sounds,
the water organ of the ancients" fur
nishes to the student OF organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the
remote evolution of the instrument
In the second century the magripha,
an organ of ten pipes with a crude
keyboard, Is said to have existed, but
accounts of this instrument are In
volved in much obscurity. 1t is aver
red that an organ. the gift of Con
stantine, was in the possession Of King
Pepin Of France in 757. but Aldhelm
a monk, makes mention of an organ
with gilt pipes as far back as the
year 700.

with heart full Of the milk Of human

attracted you to him was the implicit
belief that he wanted to do you good,
and was actuated by no sinister
motive. In years gone by. when he
was a citizen of Okolona. he made
many and lasting friends who keenly
feel the bereavement and sympathize
with his family
He was always found on the moral
side Of any question and his religious
convictions were Of the kind that made
him want to do something, and found
him each recurring Sabbath in his
Place at church. He was particularly
strong as a Sunday school teacher
and studied to impress his class with
the Importance OF deeper insight into
the hidden meaning of the Bible.
We well remember our last talk in

ADMITS TAKING
INCUBATOR BABY"
Man Charged With kidnapping Child
Defended ON the Ground Mrs
BIeakIey Is Not Mother.

Holton, Kas., May IF. H. Tillot-
son, on trial here charged with com
piicity in the kidnapping OF Marian
Roberta Bleakley, the incubator
baby" from her home in Topeka, last
August, will not try to disprove the
array Of facts presented by the state
showing his connection with the alb
duction. This was announced by his
attorney after the state had rested.
The case will be fought out on legal
questions involved.
The defense maintains that Mrs.
Bleakley has no right to the child,
that its real mother is Edith Stanley,
an actress, and that the child of Mrs.
Bleakley is dead. Basing its defense
on these claims the attorneys for Til
lotson allege the kidnapping was not
a crime
