to allow her to take lessons she will in

tion to Mrs. McSpadden, I think
the former is the finest organist in the

we were leaving the church we met
Mrs. Powell, the leadex, who said, we
now have an A No. 1 choir, they are all
young yet I will in a few weeks have

more male voices. You can say to
your readers that we will in a
few weeks have the finest choir in the

Iiiglit Grades.
Are now regarded as indispensable
in railroad construction. The lighter
the grade the more cars an engine can
haul and the faster passenger trains
can be run, with the least expenditure
of power and the smallest amount of
wear and tear on machinery and roll
ing stock.
The builders of "The BurliHgton"
had this in mind when selecting the
eaBt bank of the Mississippi for their
line, and the result proved the wisdom
of theii selection. From St. Paul the
heaviest grade is only sixteen feet to
the mile. Travelers who care for
smooth and easy riding and fast trains,
with nothing to prevent being "on
tame," will secure their tickets via "The
Burlington," to be had of any coupon
ticket agent. For further information
write to W. J. C. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.
