Eleven.year.old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties OF
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort Of father he intends to b
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every.
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want. and I'll get them each .
pony. and. well. my boys'll have lots
Of fun"
Tommy's mother, with q twinkle In
her eye, said: But, Tommy. what II
you shouldn't have any little boys;
what II your children are all girls?"
Such a possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the childs face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!
he calculated.

The Great Light, 2 the Can
tata given at Wright's Grand
Opera House under the baton of
Mr.. B. NJ. SIMS, Director Of Mu-
sic st Lexington College, was
heard and enjoyed Friday night
by a large audience.
This Cantata is a musical
composition, and was sung by a
chorus of a hundred voices. The
college chorus was assisted by a
number Of town friends. All

Miss Elizabeth Edwards, contral-
to; Mr.. William Aull, Jr., tenor
Mr.. Tim Howard, tenor; Mr..
John Price, bass; Mr.. William
SmOck, blritone, and Mr.. Brad
ley M. Sims, baritone

done; they were however, handi-
capped by inadequate support
from the piano, which gave a
hint of inaccuracy. Miss Ed
wards voice was heard for the
first time by many of the au-
dienee AMI was thoroughly ap-
preciated by all Her tones
were very clear and sweet, and
her enunciation good,
NJ. Sims is to be congratulated
on the ability displayed in
