cises OF the Hurley public schools took

and home like.

faithfully to advance the standing of

-. Rev. Father Jeram has received
call by parish in San francisco, Cal,
and will leave next Monday to take
charge of that congregation. The
Catholic society here regret his depart
ure as he has been an earnest and |
efficient worker in the church and
awakened interest and enthusiasm in
his congregation that had inspired the
society with new life. The Rev.
Fathers from Mitchell, Tyndall, How
ard and Hurley were up Tuesday to
bid him good-by Monday as Ed |
Robbins was cleaning out the show
window at Goff's, he hung his coat up
beside bunch Of bananas and finally
when he went to put it on was inform
ed that tarantula was hanging to the
bottom of it. He naturally got his
coat at respectful distance as quickly |
as possible, but with the help of sever
al others managed to get his enemy
into a big bottle. The tarantula was
quite lively considering the cold
weather. Tuesday morning they ex-
amined the bunch of bananas where
the tarantula had been and found
nest of young ones. 1t was close call
and should prove lesson in careful
ness to all who handle bananas.
