It Sounded Well.

Horace Taylor, the artist, .whose newspaper illustrations used to be admired here, came from Nokomis, 111., In the Egypt district In "Hod’s” early days they organized a band in which he blew an inconsequential horn. "We had a hard time naming the band,” said Taylor. "However, as we were a thousand miles from the ocean and even a considerable distance from the great lakes, we called it the Marine Band of Nokomis.”—Chicago Evening Post.
