Not very many weeks ago a party of
young men attended public amusement.
They took for their sparkling companions
that which can be purchased at drug (D
stores by the flask full. If young ladies
would firmly adhere to the motto: The
hand which touches liquor shall never
touch mine, those young men would stand
a good chance of forever enjoying single
hlessedness or reforming.
The usual Catholic service was devout-
ly listened to last Sunday by those in at
and the discourse upon the sub
ject of the ''Wheat and tares growing to-
gether" was both interesting and practi-
cal. Father answered the puzzling
question, Why do the wicked prosper
and the just suffer persecution, sickness
and loss, by saying that the just were the
children of God and capable Of under
chastisement given in love, but
that the wicked, not being children, could
be induced to become worshippers OF
the Highest by prosperity only, and when
that failed tteir doom was sealed He
closed by comparing earthly loss and
eternal pleasure with prosperity here and
eternal loss.

directions gathered in the town to attend
the dance and supper given by the ladies
of tho Catholic society in Hollington &

adapted for dancing, and four sets were
easily accommodated on the floor. Messrs'
James Sloey and A. Haney furnished the
violin music and later in the evening was
assisted by BILLY" Wilson, Of Wa-Keeney,
who ratified the bones in perfect time
even though it caused WY face and his
eyelids to close. Mr.. Wilson's singing Of
the dancing calls was novel feature
