Cai
lival of Roses.—
An artistic as well as one of the
most successful church entertainments j
ever given in the city, was the Car- ,
nival of Roses, given on yesterday,
in the Hartfield building, by the West
minster Aid Society of Bay Street
Presbyterian Church.
There were six beautifully decor
ated booths containing the different
articles that were sold.
The fancy
work was very pretty. The clothing
all well made, the home made candy
was so unusually nice that it was
soon all gone.
The doll booth was decidedly the
most beautiful feature of the occa
sion.
This was gracefully presided
over by Mrs. George Komp, who easi
ly found good homes for all her chil
dren. Beautifully dressed dolls of all
description were on sale from the
elaborately dressed $10 doll down to
those for 50c, which were just lovely
for the price,
scarcely do justiee^in attempting to
describe the decorations and artistic j
touches given to Mrs. Komp's booth,
suffice it to say, it couldn't be sur
passed. Alt of the other booths, too,
were very pretty, indeed. The dinner
served was excellent, and altogether
the affair was a great success from
both a social amt financial stand
point.

Gentlemen—Don't forget to go to
Graham's Monday and ring a bell.
Hear the ladies with the bells, silver
bells,
What a world of promise their melody
foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
In their hands of snowy white,
Saying, Ah! now don't forget it
Or you surely will regret It
Monday afternoon and night."
For on that day, day, day,
In an extremely reckless way
Graham's going to open with a crash
and bang and roar.
So be there
Ladles fair.
And you'll not fail to learn about the
bells, bells, bells.
Hear the loud alarum bells—brazen
bells!
What a tale of terror now their tur
bulency tells.
''No one else has much to do
Graham has,it all! Boo-hoo!
City crowds and country, too.
Oh, boo-hoo! boo-hoo! boo-hoo!"
Listen Now!
Without vain and fruitless begging
you'll be waited on and shown
The latest fads and fancies that
around the world have flown,
But ah, those souvenirs!
Don't you dare miss them my dears,
But come and hear the ringing of the
bells, bells, bells.
Hear the tolling of the bells—iron
bells!
What a world of solemn thought their
monody compels!
"Don't you wish you'd gone," they'll
say.
"See now what you'll have to pay—
Somewhere else."
Graham's is the place to go
Things are cheapest there, you know;
So come and hear the music of the ;
bells, bells, bells.

Emory Breland, the 13-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Breland, had
what might be termed a miraculous
escape from death this morning. The
young lad was at the Hays & Fields'
drug store and climbed the sliding
step ladder which is palced next to
the shelves, and when near the top,
he lost his grip on the ladder and
fell into a show oase, coming down
on his feet. Just as he struck the

the body and saved him from going
deeper Into the show case. The quick
action on the part of Mr. Tucker prob
ably saved Emory's life, and though
the show case was broken, the lad
was fortunately uninjured.
It was a very narrow escape and

is wise to be cautiouB.

This is one of the largest wholesale

shows, further, that the lumbermen
everywhere are looking for a great
revival in the lumber trade almost im

It is .stated that the demand for
lumber is very good, but there has
been but little change in prices lately,
