GeOrXefOwn-GaIlaudet
Game.

Saturdays game of foot ball between the
Georgetown and Gallaudet elevens on the
campus of the blue and gray furnished a
surprise to the followers of both teams. as
the score resulted in tie-5 TO s. On form
The Georgetown boys should have won out
by good safe score, but the mutes found
their opponents in a crippled condition, q
couple OF the strongest players being alb
sent on account of injuries, and those that
participated in the contest playing in a
careless fashion that enabled the Gallau-
dets 20 hold them in masterful fashion in
both halves.
In the first half the ball was carried
back and forth between the middle of the
field and Gallaudets twenty-yard line for
fully twenty minutes, and was finally Jam
med over the line in the arms of Lynch
pretty goal was in sight, but DeyIin
missed it and victory went glimmering
The blue and gray kept the ball well down
in Gallaudets territory until the whistle
blew for the first half.
In the second half the Wearers Of tho
blue and gray started off to redeem them
selves, but found the Gallaudets waiting
for them and more determined than ever
The ball switched back and forward for
the first ten minutes and then the rputes
set to work with such fierce energy thar
the Georgetown defense crumbled to pieces
Andree started Oft by making a run of
twenty yards around the end, and Waters
followed 1t up by bucking the center for
ten more. These gains sent the blue and
gray into the air and the ball was ad-
vanced by Gallaudet from three to five
yards at every try, Waters being finally
pushed over the line for a touchdown
Guilfuss also failed to kick goal and the
score was tie, to 5. the final figures Of
the game.
Too much praise cannot be given the Gal
laudet boys for their determined work, both
individually and collectively. the fine team
work undoubtedly enabling them to tie the
score and coming within hair OF winning
out. as Guilfuss' try for goal struck one Of

The following years, in order, begin

on which Easter can occur is March
%. The last time it occurred on this
date was in 1918, but it will not occur
again until after the Twentieth cen
tury. The latest Easter can occur is
April 26, and it will thus occur but
once in the coming century-in 1913.
The last time it occurred was April %.
1886. Whenever Easter occurs on
March 81, or April 3. 10, Il or II
Christmas also occurs on Sunday.
Though one OF the objects aimed at
by the church authorities who fixed
upon the method OF determining the
date Of Easter was TO prevent It's
occurring on the same date as the
Jewish Passover, nevertheless the two
events will occur together fOu times
in the Twentieth century-ApriI l.,

St. PatriCk'S Day Entertainment.

According to announcement St.
Patrick's Day was celebrated and
made use of by the Young Ladies'
SOdality of the Catholic church in a
very enjoyable entertainment at the
Grand Opera House Saturday evening.
A fair sized audience was present and
by their liberal applause it would
seem that the people were we'll pleased
with the program. The OratiOn of
John f. DOugherty on Webster and
the Constitution was a carefully pre-
pared address and delivered with Il
great deal of OratOrical skill.
The speaker explained that his last
years address was an exhaustive
treatment Of the subject of St.
Patrick's day, SO he devoted little
space to the subject this year. But as
we fancy many people are yet ignorant
on the subject we give place to the
following old song, which is
supposed to give the true reason
why the 18th of March is celebrated:
On the eighth day of March it was. some
That St. Patrick at midnight he first saw the
While others declare twas the ninth he was
born,
And twas al a mistake betwixt midnight and
For mistakes will occur in a hurry and
shock;
And some blamed the baby and some blamed
the clock,
Till with all their cross ucstions, sure no one
could know
If the child was too fast or the clock was TOO
slow.
Now, the first faction fight in old Ireland, they
say,
Was all on account of St Patrick's birthday
Some fought for the eighth, for the ninth more
would die,
And both wouldn't see right. Sure, they
blackened his eye.
At last both the factions so positive grew,
That each kept birthday, so Pat then bad
two.
Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them their
sins,
Said; mo one can have two birthdays but
twins
Says he: Boys, don't be tightin for eight or
Don't always be dividin', but sometimes
comboine;
Comboue eight and noinc, and sivcnteen is the
mark
So let that be his birthday "Amen, said the
clerk.
If he wasn't twin, sure, our histhry will
show
That at Taste he is worth amy two saints We
know"
So they all got blind drunk, which completed
their bliss,
And we've kept up the practice from that day
to this.
The proceeds of the evening amounts
to about 500, netting the society about

She Spends Five of the Coolest DAYS of
March in the Woods Without Food.

She Spends Five of the Coolest Days of
March in the Woods Without Food.
Last week Mrs. VIM. Annis of the
town of Rudolph, in this county, left
her home shortly after noon on Mon
day, the 18th inst, and for five days
and nights she rambled about the
woods in the vicinity of her home,
never during that time having met
anybody, tasted any food or warmed
herself at any fire. She returned to
her home on Saturday noon as un-
tremendously as she had left it. Her
feet were terribly frozen and she was
almost starved, but for this wild and
almost insane freak she offered no
explanation except to state that she
was mad at her husband because he
had SCOlded her on account of her
dinner being late on the day she left.
During the wOman'S absence wild
stories got about the neighbOrhood
regarding the unhappy state in which
she and her husband are said to have
lived and the suspicion became quite
general that she had met with foul
play at the hands of her husband.
This of course the husband became
aware Of and it added to his worry
and anxiety about his missing wife.
AnniS, himself, thought that his wife
had gone insane, as she had greatly
worried over their 15-year-Old boy, who
had been enticed away from home last
July, going to TOmahaWk, then to
MOSinee, and from that point they
had not heard from him nor could they
trace him.
Upon her return Dr. POmainville of
Grand Rapids was called to see her.
She was of course much emaciated
and both feet were terribly frozen, but
while she was somewhat reticent as to
her whereabouts during her absence,
he thought she appeared as rational
and sensible as a woman of her mental
capabilities would ever be likely to
appear. At first it was thought
that one foot would certainly have to
be amputated, but upon a second visit,
paid Monday, the doctor tn nkS posi-
bly, both feet can be saved. He also
found her much brighter and more
cheerful than on his first visit.
She had left home without warning
anybody, and although the immediate
neighbOrhOOd had been diligently
searched, no trace Of her could be
found until she appeared of her own
accord. She was warmly dressed. but
when it is remembered that the
weather during her absence was some
of the cOldeSt of the winter. the won
der is that the woman was not frozen
to death during her frightful exposure.
