About two months ago the Wander
Piles were awakened one night by
knockings inside the walls of the house,
They thought little of the matter, but
when the knockings came the second
night it was decided they were made
by ghosts,
All sorts of plans were tried to lay
the ghosts, but all to no avail The
Rev Nicholas Boer of the Christian
Reformed church sat mp with them
one night. The sounds came. and Mr..
Roer refused TO call again,

HYMNS are SUMO.

An awful toll of death resulted from
the false alarm of fire which was shout
ed in crowded hall at Calumet, Mich,
on Christmas eve. Fifty nine bodies,
including forty four children were
buried on Sunday. The following is
taken from The Milwaukee Sentinel $
report of the sad scene.
Fifty singers chanted hymns in the
wake of the children's carriers. Most
of these men were English miners who
had learned in Cornwall to chant
Christmas carols in the streets and
years ago brought this old custom to
the copper country, On Sunday, how
ever, they did not sing songs of II life
new born. Jesus, Lover of My Soul,
Rock of Ages" and Nearer, My
God, to Thee" came from Threats
thick with emotion but the harmones
were full and rich.
