Hadn't Been to Mass for Two
Years.

n
An Irish priest was walking to
church one day meditating on the
temptations of his people, when
three young women of his parish
passed him. He knew them to be
well meaning diffdent girls, and
became somewhat alarmed on see
ing that a gentleman for free
thinking tendencies had stopped to
talk to them. He therefore quick
ened his steps in order to hear the
conversation and to Immediately
snatch eny false teaching from the
mind of his pensioners. After
listening to the following, how
ever, he felt that any further re-
marks would be superfous:
.sGood morning, girls. It is to
church you're going? What
harm'n come to you if you stay at
homer" I haven't been to mass in
two years, and I weigh two humid
dred pounds
And one of the girls answered:
s.Yez haven been to mass in
two years, did yez say, and yez
weigh two hundred pounds. Sure,
me father has jackass that never
went to mass in his life, and he
weighs four hundred pounds.

is further, they gave the printing to
the Press at figures double as great as
what the Daily Enterprise offered to

legal method of procedure will doubt
LESS render it impossible for contractors

When the board of city trustees met
today there was a large number of
property owners present with all kinds
of kicks against the contemplated i'm
provement of several streets in the city.
The board, after listening to several pro-
testing speeches, decided to forego the
Improvement of South Main street and
Myrtle avenue for the present, and a
score of citizens are highly pleased
thereby.
The board rescinded its action requir-
ing the street car company to give
$4,000 bond guaranteeing the compile
tion of the Seventh street road inside of
the coming year. Owing to complaint
over excessive tax for sewer work done
on Lemon and Lime streets the board
decided to pursue the district system
hereafter in all sewer work.
