Horse Blankets whichare strong

initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying they are "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.

question in his mind of the duty of the
State In the premises, which was to foster
-sectarian schools and colleges. For
this purpose the State lays taxes, and he
said It was incumbent on all Catholics as
good citizens to bear their share Of the
burden; that the public-school system was

Georgetown, ID. c., the old town in the
west suburb of which the college is situ-
ute, is one Of the most quaint, drowsy,
rickety, altogether age moldy places to
bc found in the United States. Although
it has now grown to be part of Wash
ington lit is called West Washington by
the Washingtonians), there could DO no
greater difference in the character of tho
two places. Washington during the past
ten years has assumed the appearance OF
modern city. Everything bears the
impress of the latter part of the Nine
teenth century. To go over ono of the
old wooden creek bridges from Wash
ington to Georgetown is like stepping
from the Nineteenth into the Seventeenth
century. Many OF the houses arc of the
pattern Of two hundred years ago. The
pumps on the street corners look like the
pumps Of old English cuts. Walk into
any OF the little graveyards, and you
will see graves Of men and women who
died thirty years before George Wash
ington was born. 1t is evident that Mat
thew Arnold never visited Georgetown
when he said that America had no ruins.

Of the village he would havo seen

grown yards, unhinged gates and cavod
