mindful of the day AS soon as Father
Early learned of this he put the school
under a ban. Since then there has
been some correspondence between the
priest and Miss Gould. Another thing
the priest objected to was that a hymn
was sung at the opening of the affair.
In her reply to that complaint Miss
Gould told him it had been her wish
to have the daily sessions of the class
opened by readings from the Scrip
lures. but out of Differences to the
Roman Catholic church she had re-
Trained from having this done. In the
future her original wishes would be
carried out.
Miss Gould made statement today,
saying in part:
AT the annual party on the last
Friday in September among the re-
freshments served were sandwiches,
and when the Irvington Roman Cath
Ole priest heard of it he placed a ban
upon the school, thus taking out quite
number of the children. OF course
they need not have eaten the sand

The sewing school has been in exist
ence since Miss Gould was a young
girl, when she taught sewing to the
daughters OF men employed upon her
fathers place. 1t has developed into

children.
When Father Early was asked if he
had placed an absolute ban on the
school, he replied:

of my church violating the rules of our

WOMEN FouGar FIRE.
Their Bucket Brigade Saved the Day
at Courtland.


CORTLAND, Kan, Nov. 19.-Fire here
early Wednesday caused $4,000 loss
Only by valiant y ork by the citizens
was it kept from taking half the town.
The fire originated in the center OF
block of frame buildings on the west
side of Main street, in the coal oil room
of the general merchandise firm of Boyd
& Beames. The stock Of goods was
burned and the building entirely de-
stroyed, also the billiard hall building.
The home and business building of E.
a. Marty was damaged.
With hose attached to the city pump,
the men of the town worked to keep the
fire from spreading. The wind blew the
sparks and flames southwark. On the
Marty building, to the north, a score
of men, enVeloped with smoke and
flames, fought the fire with buckets and
hose.
The women organized themselves into
a bucket brigade, carrying water from
a we'll fifty yards away, over four
foot fence, passing it to the men on the
Marty building, for the saving of that
structure meant the saving of the rest
of the block
The cold soon froze their drenched
garments but they worked steadily and
rapidly for an hour, until the structure
was safe, not one falling out of line,
the blaze scorching their faces as it oc-
casionally fared toward them and the
brisk breeze whipped their frozen gar
ments around them. But for the heroic
and systematic work of the women, led
by Mrs E A. Workman and Mrs Sam
Wilkins, the building would have burn
ed and with it the rest of the block.

Friday night at the .Colma club, boxed
with Fred Landers yesterday at his
camp at Larkspur. The easterner is

O'Keefe in six rounds, while Britt went
twenty rounds. and the best he could do
was to draw Then Candle has seen

Warrensburg II: NEEDLES 6.

warrensburg Mo. Nov. 19.-The Nor
mails won over the NEEDLES of Kansas City
in a hard fought battle by a score of II
to s. During the first ten minutes of play
ing it seemed that the NEEDLES were going
through the NormaTs line at will and
scored in less than ten minutes after the
ball was put into play. The Medics kicked
off on the next play and the Normals,
finding they were liable to be held for
downs, punted to the Medics' 2o-yard line
bail. Nell then carried the ball over the
Medics' goal on a straight line buck. From
this on the playing was all done in the
Nedics' territory and the Normals scored
two more touchdowns and kicked goal
both times.
