FoLsoM's MUSIC COMPANY.

Every home ought to have music.
The time to enjoy the delights of
musical instruments is in ones own
home with the members of the family
gathered about. The player pianos
and the monographs have been i'm
proved to such degree that the voice
of the grand opera star can be heard
in thousand homes at once, at any
time, anywhere. The success of the
Folsom Music Company at 10 Broad
way, East, has been due to two things,
expert management and the quality of
instruments handled. A full line of
monographs, Victrolas, records and
player pianos are also carried in this
store and the universal satisfaction
accorded to the buying public by the
instruments sold at Folsom's is proof
of their popularity.

SACRED HEART PARISH.

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic
Church at Little Falls was built on
Block 81, Fourth Street, Southeast, in
1886, before which time services were
held in the Court House. The congre-
cation was organized by Rev. William
Lange, and prominent among the first
members may be recalled Philip Grass,
Frank Ellenbecker, Donat Trettle,
Peter Medred, j. j. Gross, P. J. Tomel-
ty, p. w. Blake, VIM. Butler and John
Kerick. The present number of fami-
lies in the congregation is one hun
dred f1fty-two. The first house of wor-
ship was erected in 1887 of veneered
brick, but in 1912 solid brick struc-
ture was provided, and an addition
made costing six thousand dollars. In
1890 veneer brick parish house was
built, and in 1914 it was enlarged at
cost of two thousand dollars by a
fine solid brick addition. In 1896 a
solid brick school house was erected
near the church The public high
school building of Little Falls burned
in 1896 and the city schools used the
Catholic Church building until the pub
lie school was rebuilt
The present condition of this school
is good Five Benedictine Sisters are
the teachers and the number of pupils
is one hundred and seventy eight
The estimated value of the church
property, including church, school and
parish house and cemetery is thirty
thousand dollars
The pastors who have faithfully
cared for this congregation are Revs
William LANCE, j. F. Buh, A. Lamothe,
Alloys Roster, from April, 1890, to No
vember, 1899; William LANCE until
July, 1901, when came the present pas
tor, Rev. ]. P. Altendorf, who is great
ly beloved by his people and the COM
munity in general.
At first the Catholics of Little Falls,
all nationalities, worshipped in the
same congregation, but as the years
went by the Polish and German ele-
ments separated from the mother
church of the city and had their own
organization. This was the beginning
of the Sacred Heart Church. Then in
1909 the Polish people separated them
selves from the German portion of the
congregation and built church
edifice. The separation caused quite
decrease in the Sacred Heart con-
gregation, but it is now increasing and
is strong congregation.

She had really come out to buy her

new crisp notes in her pocketbOok
had been given to her only that morn
ing for that very purpose; but, some
how when one is thinking of an i'm
mortal soul and the way to win it
back to God, fashions and colors seem
to look very trivial.
"T'll have to come out again tomor-

money today if I attempted to select

So she hurried through her various
small errands which her mother had
given her to do and then went down
to her fathers office only to find him
gone out to lunch.
sWell, I'll wait awhile" she said.

doors narrowed from the huge Office

of the long wing. Out there Agnes
could catch the rumble and throb OF
huge machines, and she knew that
above and below in parallel wings the
same monotonous thud and noise, the
same even rows of black and steel
might be seen.
Agnes thoughts reverted to her own
trouble.
Il always heard that everyone had
some cross to bear. I'd be willing to
take my place at one of those ma
chimes for the rest of my life if it

knew she was Irish by the deep-blue
eyes and the dusky-brown hair, as

and the intelligent countenance.

and grown thinner; but offer it all
up-to the Sacred Heart"

Eyes, all the girls at the machines,
