with the attractive exterior Of the build
ing.
The home Is 1870 by 40 feet and with

TO enumerate the various departments

Sisters OF st. Francis, one OF whom is a

Joscph's League which is an association
for the furtherance Of the Catholic Col
orsd Missions.
On Monday noxt the directors Of st.
Joseph's League will hold their quar-
terly meeting and inspect the building.
It may not be out Of place here to state

tion OF this handsome home.
Elk Mayor Harrington said on the
occasion Of it's corner stone laying that
not only are institutions Ike this one a
