Gods Gift.

Gods Gift.
After God had created
The world and mankind.
He said, 4 must convey love,
To his soul and his mind
So He painted the flowers.
Then tinted the leaves.
And gave to the summer
Its warm, balmy breeze.
Yet that wasn't enough,
So He made the birds sing
Sent the SNOW flakes to winter
AID sweet flowers to spring
To the deep water. He gave
Its bright sparkle and eleam;
To the tall. lofty mountain,
That grandeur of scene.
Then He thought Of great music.
And made it His choice;
Taught love to the wcrId
Through the medium of voice,

instructive entertainments given in
Monroe for a long time was the
musical given by Miss BERTHA Jae-

rendered By her pupils. and the
second consisted in the study of
Faust with the music from the
Opera produced by artists on the
Victor.
Miss Jaeger has done much for
the music Of Monroe and is yet
planning greater things. Her new
Grande Piano gave forth for the
first time its beautiful tones for the
pleasure Of her guests Miss Jaeger

a part of her regular work. Several
