Thanksgiving Day was appropriate
~ observed at the Convent last Thurs
day. In the morning. Father Wernert
celebrated High Mass which was fol-
lowed by Benediction, the pupils chant
| ing the D Salutaris Hostia and the Tan
tum Ergo Services concluded with
the grand hymn TIE Deum. or ''Holy
God, we praise Thy Name" which was
sung by the whole congregation. In
the evening the pupils gave an enter
tainment, consisting OF vocal and in
strumental music. interspersed with
declamations. Among the songs, spe-
cial mention deserves to be made of
Chamidi's Summer and Goddard's Lul-
labv, sung by Miss NJ. Springer; Faded
Picture, by Miss G. Celia; Rodney's
Calvary. by Miss C. Grubbs. The
beautiful entertainment hall was, on
this occasion, lit up for the first time,
with gas furnished by new gas plant
which the Sisters put in this fall, using
the Welsbach burner, in all study halls
and class rooms. The illumination
was brilliant, one Welsbach burner be-
ing equal to about sixty candle power,
and fourteen of these being used gave
light superior to electric light. and
other improvement which the Ursuline
Sisters made this year was to heat the
College building with hot water. This
system of heating is the best in the
country, giving a delightful. uniform
temperature without absorbing all the
moisture in the air. The best SANTA
ry plumbing, with the latest toilet ap-
purtenances and porcelain bath-tubs,
was also put in this fall. The i'm
provements were expensive, amount
ing to nearly ten thousand dollars, but

daughters to this Academy, since no
better place can be found for comfort,
health, and intellectual, as we'll as es-

When C. r. Peck left for Kansas
City last Wednesday night, he was &C
companied to the Arcadia station by
l.. j. Glovanoni, who, when the train
came, assisted him into the coach and
made things comfortable for him.
Before Mr.. G. perfected these arrange
ments the train had started, and he
was carried perforce to Bismarck, the
first stopping place. Louis tells the
remainder of the story as follows: 81

best clothes, and wasn't at all fit for a
genteel journey abroad. At Bismarck

ton waiting-rOom. 1t was full of
tramps, and / presume / looked as
much like hobo as any of them. The
weather being cold. remained in the
room until daylight; having only 80
cents in my pocket. a room at the hotel
would have been to rich for me. /

the early morn, and hunted out rail-
road man 1 knew and told him would
like to ride down to Ironton on the

said the local wouldn't run that day,
but an engine and caboose would start
down in few minutes; that | should
climb on and it would be all right. He
pointed out the caboose, and l got in,
when whom should find sitting there

He started down the road in high dudg-
