THAT PRIZE MONEY.

Colonel Hoffman Gives His Version Of
~ the Matter.
The oklahoman of Oklahoma City,
says:
The recent controversy between
Guthrie and the National guard having
waxed so warm, It was decided by the
Oklahoman to address a letter to Col.
Roy V. Hoffman asking for such in
formation as he might possess.
Following is the reply in full:
Chandler, Okla, Dec. IL, 1908.
EDITOR the Oklahoman, Oklahoma City,
okla.
: Dear Sir: am in receipt Of your
inquiry enclosing clippings from re-
cent issues of your paper relating to
the prize moLSy guaranteed by the
Fifty Of Guthrie for the last encsmp-
ment and also asking about the origin
of this fund
The prize money for competitive
drills originated at Enid four years
lago, which was the first encampment
lat 1hich l had command. 1t was an
idea of Governor Barnes and myself
founded on the theory that it was but
fair that the city designated for the
encampment should show some sub
iStantial appreciation Of the CONNER
cial benefits to be reaped and at the
same time raise funds for distribution
among the companies which show th'
|thighest standards in drills. The ef
9fect has been beneficial It is an in

centive to men and officers to bring
the most out of their respective com
mands-not so much perhaps for the
intrinsic value of the rewards as for
pride aroused to attain the mark Of
distinction in winning the prize hon
ors. This money is always raised in
advance of the location of the camp
or guaranteed by some personal or
municipal pledge. AT Enid, Perry and
Kinghsher these promises were full
filled to the dollar upon the day of the
contests. The money, up until the
Guthrie encampment, has always been
forthcoming Immediately upon call.
AT the last encampment prior to Guth-
rie, Governor Ferguson made the dis
tribution at Kingfsher and it was the
center of an interesting ceremony in
the presence of thousands Of specta-

Girls Be Careful.

Nowadays in our large cities. 1t
seems to be quite the fashionable
thing for young ladies to dine now
and then in restaurants with their
"centlemen friends What an abom-
Unable phrase that is! No girl of real
refinement would ever use it. for 1t IS
Il supposed fact that her male friends
are gentlemen and she only calls them
by their names such as MIR. Brown
"NIr. Smith," or in conversation she
will say. "Mr. Jones. friend OF
mine" To come back to what we
were first talking about. am of the
firm opinion that no girl who sets a
high value on hcrself-who is careful
that her name be above reproarh-
will dine out in Il restaurant with Il
Young man even though there may he
no sin whatsoever in doing so. and
partakc of wine or beer. The girl
who puts herself in such position
r0hs herself of her most precious
trcasure-a character free from the
clouds of doubt or sin.

Rev. Father Thomas e. Walsh, from
1881 to 1898.
Rev. Father Andrew Morrissey, the
incumbent, took up the work in 1893
and has carried it on successfully.
The history of the erection of the
Church of the Sacred Heart, one of the
most imposing of the many buildings
on the campus, is almost as interesting
as that Of the university. Father Sorin
found the small upper room" of the
little log house built on the banks of
st. Mary's lake by the poor Indians
for the use of their revered Black
Robe, the prOto-priest. Father Stephen
L. Badin, in 1880. In 1913 Father
Sorin erected that other log structure,
Il little higher up from the lake, in
the Catholics of the mission long con-
tinued to worship. The precious relic,
alas, persisted by fire in 1852. Before
this, i'll 1918, the first brick church
was erected, east of the lake and just
in the rear of the present church, or.
rather, upon ground now occupied by
the rear of the present church. This
church in 1913 was ut first Il little
oblong building. In time additions
We're made to it, including wooden
towers, i'll which was placed tine OK
quistc chime of bells that still make
music for Notrc Dame When the first
great organ was obtained an extension
was made to the rear of the old church
to receive it. The church so completed
served until the erection of the present
edifice
The foundations of the Church of
the Sacred Heart We're begun by Faith

1868. the very day on which the vati-
can council was opened by Plus IN.
1t was also the twentyfourth anniver-
Sary of the blessing of the well-be-
loved "Chapel of the Novitiate," erect
ed upon the ISLAND in 1914, and so
long the center of the religious devO-
ton of the poor little community. 1t
was on the same day. December s,

Slowly from 1868 until the jubilee of
Rev. Father Sorn in 1883, the Church
of the Sacred Heart went on to COM
pletion, when finally it was cOnSecrat-
ed with great pomp as perhaps the
most beautiful church in America.
In this church have taken place
many great religious celebrations.
Prominent churchmen from all over
the world have taken part in great
ceremonials, and there is no spot about
the institution that is so we'll beloved
as this church.
