SACRAMENTO INSTITUTE.
Closing Exercises at the Christian
BROTHERS, College,

The semi-annual examinations at the
terday brought to close The young
gentlemen in the higher class furnished
an interesting programme. A goodly
number of people hOnored the event by
their presence and showed their appre-
citation of the work of the pupils by fre-
quent and hearty applause.
At the close of the exercises the
Brother Director introduced Rev.
Father Mulhall, who in a few words,
thanked those present and congratu-
lated the young gentlemen on having
successfully completed the scholastic
year of 1895. He reminded them that,
while they had done well, they were not
yet quite the acme Of perfection, but
bade fair to reach that point in the near
future by cultiyatig a spirit of indus
try and application to study. He
pointed out the Importance of their
school duties and their obligations to
their parents, as we'll as the necessity
of acquiring refined habits and the cul-
ture of polished young gentlemen.
They should strive to come up to the
standing expected of them, that they
might be an honor to their parents and
ornaments to society.

GEESE HUNTING OXEN

May Sound Little Queer, but the Story
 Comes Straight-In the Early Days of
 California Wild Geese Were so Plentiful
 That They Bothered Cattle Raisers, and
 Fortunes Were Made Shooting the
 Birds.
 ''I made good deal of money in the early days of California when we used to stalk wild geese with oxen," said ex- Game Commissioner James Wistar of Pasadena. Stalking geese with oxen may sound a little queer, but that's the way We used to hunt 'em in the early days. A good stalking OK, I want to tell you, was valuable bit of property forty years ago in California, and we used to talk about him and discuss his points just about the same as sports men nowadays discuss the points of their bird dogs. A good stalking OK could earn his owner anywhere from fifty to one hundred dollars day if the owner himself was any good
 'I went to California in 1851 and
