calms his rage, purifies and educates his
whole mind, and elevates his soul to
heaven.

guage of angels.

masquerade of crotchets and quavers.
Music is the soul's expression, the
heart's solace and the mind's delight.
Music (consists of every sound in
Nature that gives pleasure to its bearers.
A noisy peacemaker.
A euooeesion of harmonious sounds

end some sixpence to have taken into the
next street.

brains.

day afternoon a fairly dressed man enter-
ed the bank and put down a check on the
window of Paying Teller Hind, The
oheok was signed "Almighty God." The
paying teller looked for the detective, but
he was not in sight. The teller then told
the man to wait until he could open the
safe and got the money. When Hind's
bead was turned the man ehot at him.
The man was seized by employees of the
bank after he had fired four shots at
Hind. The crank's identity could not be

was and was looked up.
