The THRILLS
OF YOUR LIFE
Heart Songs Furnish You With a
Thrill That You Cannot Get
ANY Other Way

The thrills of life are not many,
therefore the real ones are moment
Gus. There is not today boy or
girl of marriageable age, or man or
woman of years, whose anticipation
or recollection does not center on a
certain imperative event in their
lives more importune in the light of
things to come, or in the glow of past
happenings, than at the time it was
possible to believe.
Leaving it to those of experience,
one great thrill cane at the sound
of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin
which was played or sung at the eul-
mination of their life's action up to
that point. This Bridal Chorus or
Wedding March, as it is often called,
as a symbol has had more influence
on future events than many of Us
care to acknowledge. Because it has
been played during moments of in
tense Importance personally, it there
fore has specific value to us, and
on hearing it--whether our lives have

always a strong pull on the nerves.
Other parts of the Wagner Opera
are as important musically, and had
there been some personal association
they would bring perhaps as great
a thrill. We are compelled through
lack of chances TO hear great music
to feel a certain indifference. There
is no excuse for this in these days
when It is so easy to acquire knowl-
edge outside of the theater.
The Times-Reeorde is distributing
a book Of more than four hundred
songs which will enlighten and enter
tain every reader Of this paper. How

DOG POISONER LOOSE
 AROUND PETERSBURG

Some 15 dogs in Petersburg nave died during the past month and there is evidence that death was the result of a slow poison, administer ed in a form yet to be determined. The officers are working on several clues and if evidence is secured that poison was put out they in- tend to make an example of the guilty party. Those who have lost dogs are willing to give a substan tial reward for any definite infor- nation. Besides the fact that it is unlawful to put out poison, and that a person who would do so is of a low order of mentally and a positive menace to any community there is always the added danger that children, especially those toe young to know, may get hold of the stuff. The officers will have every aid in finding the guilty person. Herald.
