nome of the Virgin was discovered IN
der the ruins of the ancient city of
Ephesus, in Asia Minor. This discov-
cry was made by the superior of the
Propaganda in Syrna. He was led to
the search by accident. A little vol
ume by one Catherine Emerfch, Ger
man peasant girl of the seventeenth
century, fell into his hands. She pro-
fessed to have been enlightened in a
vision as to the precise locality of the
sacred spot. She gave full directions
and a description of the house. The di-
rections were followed. The house was
found exactly as described In 1896 the
Pope decided upon the plans for a
grand cathedral which is to enclose the
ruins for the future generation of the
faithful. 1t now only remains to build
a suitable memorial over the site OF
the Virgins home In Jerusalem.

Our First Clocks.

The Oldest clocks of American manu-
facture were made by Gideon Roberts
of Bristol Conn. According to the best
authorities, no clocks were manufac-
tured in what is now the United States
prior to 1900. at which time Mr. Rob-
erts first placed his timepieces on the
market.
His clocks were made with the great
est care, and much time was spent in
perfecting them. They were all of the
stylecommonly known as ''hall' clocks,
about six feet in height, handsomely
finished and recognized separate piece
of furniture in which the owner always
took great pride.

WHATEVER may be the pros
and cons of commencement
orations aud essays by High
School graduates, there is only one
side to theEquestion of class day exer-
cises. Into these the students always
enter with the proper spirit and a
program is made fitted to the pecul-
lar talent of each participant. This
was strikingly the case on Saturday
when before roomful of friends the
class of '9y of the High School pre-
sented in panoramic succession the
past and future of their class, all the
while displaying the glorious present.
The High School room was very
Hastily decorated, the royal purple
and white-the class color5-abound
ing. The class was seated together
in the front of the room,
! Miss Belle Bonsteel, as 'dux" made
short address of welcome, and in
troduced Miss Mary Ring, who as
salutatorian, expressed the feeling
with which the class would go out
into their larger spheres Of influence
with what regrets and yet happiness
they left the old school days. The
part was we'll delivered and was a
fitting prelude to very good pro-
gram.
The class history by Miss Hedwig
Bruhn was replete with allusious to
occurrences of by-gone days, which
were highly appreciated by the audi
ence-especially the students The
writer has very interesting style of
writing, which makes any product of
her pen worthy of commentator
The 'Advice to Juniors" by Miss
Nora Collins was a distinctivel y new
feature of class day programs, but as
racy as it was new. To try to repro
duce this part-or the one preceding
would simply be a Hamlet with
Hamlet left out. The part was de-
live1ed we'll and elected much praise
for it's originality.
The song ''Was Down on Horri-
gan's Farm" was sung by the class in
commen.oration of the festal occasion
two weeks ago.
Edward B, Darlings class prophesy
was strikingly original, but neverthe-
less humorous therefor. He had
received his inspirations at different
times, but when he communed with
his prophetic spirit in school time,
the lower classmen had supposed
him asleep. In the prophesy the
idiosyncrasies of the varions members
of the class we're hit off with consider
able droll characterization. The part
was we'll rendered and well applauded.
Bartholomew B. Horrigan, plain
blunt man" when he first came to the
High School, delivered a remarkably
good grafton which would have
done credit to many an older speaker.
His subject was Dangerous Tendon
cies in Modern Civilization" He
SAID in part:
"In reviewing the civilization of
the world today, we are apt to be
mislead by the grandeur of the works
accomplished, by mans success over
natures powers and by the flash and
glitter of society. But is there any
thing which threatens our present in
situations? We no longer fear the
tyranny of kings, nor their agents,
nor arbitrary imprisonment. We
have secured ibelty only after a
struggle, but as Ruskin says: we
shall possess it only as long as we
are willing to protect and defend it,

The Grafton was followed by the
class poem by Miss Margaret Mile
1t is a praiseworthy production and
was read in a good clear voice:
In our trim little city of Morris
Meath the dear old cottonwoods' shade,
Stands a stately white brick school house
What place in our hearts it has made!
Here it is we have learned together
| Our lessons from day to day;
And here the scenes of more merry times
Than my pen or tongue can say.
! Our schooldays ia Morris are over,
! Inc class OF ninety nine
Have finished the task assigned them,
Their places they now resign.
To the class of nineteen hundred,
| To our schoolmates every one,
We tender our kindest wishes
| For progress in work and for fun
To our teachers, we nine desire to give
Our thanks, sincere and true;
! We know that much of our progress
To their helpful aid is due.
Our teachers, schoomates, lessons and fun
| Each has a place in the heart;
Nor shall we forget each other
| Tho far we may be apart.
Our school days in Morris are over;
But our lessons are not all learned;
Lies lessons are just beginning,
IT'S with them we are now concerned.
May we learn by our royal purple
To conquer ourselves in the fight;
May we live for truth and for purity
In the name of our emblem white!
And each day of lives, my classmates,
May we so live every one,
That none will regret that we have lived
The song "A Morris Maid" by the
class was followed by capital feature
of the program, when Mark Watson
presented each member of the class
with memento of school days, &C.
oompanying the presentation with
short pithy speech. These remarks
were highly entertaining to the audi.
ence and Mr.. Watson delivered them
with rare good grace.

song by the class who Will Make

gram the High School and class yells

in extending congratulations by
friends to the graduates. The class

scholarly attainments and for their
studiousness deserve much praise.

There are many spots in the Holy
Land which are associated with the
Mother of God. She was a native of
Nazareth, Christ was born to her at
Bethlehem, he was brought up under
her care at Nazareth. Later the family
domicile was transferred to Jerusalem.
After the crucifXion, according to the
legend, Mary fed with st. John the
Evangelist to Ephesus, where the be-
loved disciple built her house, in
which she spent her last days.
In Nazareth is still pointed out the
remains of what is claimed to be the
erstwhile home of the Holy Family.
This is now portion of the Latin Con-
vent, large, square building enclosed
by wall. A chapel known as the
Church of the Annunciation rises over
the spot, but underneath the church are
shown the kitchen, parlor and bedroom
of the Virgin and the workshop of
Joseph 1t is little difficult to recon-
cile these details with the other legend
of the Santa Casa, or Holy House of
Loreto, in Italy. The Santa Casa is re-
puted to be the veritable house wherein
the Virgin Mary lived at Nazareth,
which during the night of May IL, 1921,
was miraculously severed from it's foun-
dations and borne through the air by
angels to Tesalto, in Illyria, and trans
fecred thence, three years later, by the
same agency, to Loreto. In Loreto it
stands to this day, and there the great
est saints of the Church, popes, SOW
ereigns, princes, the noble, the wealthy
and the good, have continuously
thronged for the last six centuries,
leaving offerings of gold and silver and
precious stones, which make it to-day
one of the richest shrines in the world.
The precise spot in Bethlehem where
the stable stood in which Christ was
born is marked by the Church of the

HOMES OF THE VIRGIN MARY.
The Site Presented by the Kaiser to the
Pope.

The Site Presented by the Kaiser to the
Pope,
A memorable incident of the German
Kaiser's visit to Jerusalem was the
presentation to him by the Sultan of
small lot of ground reputed to be the
site Of the Virgin Mary's home in that
city. The Kaiser promptly turned the
lot over to the Pope, to be held in trust
for the Catholics of Germany. This lot
is not, as some of the papers nave as
serted, vacant one. A two story es-
tabIishment devoted to business pur-
poses has stood there for the last two
centuries. This will probably be torn
down, and a chapel or church will be
erected upon it. The attendant excaVa-
tions may reveal something to confirm
or deny the tradition that here the Vir-
gin Mary lived with her son during the
last three years of his life, when he
appeared to the world as prophet and
Messiah.
