FOOTBALL.

The foot ball team of the local
high finished very successful sea-
son last Thursday afternoon when
they won their final game from the
Durand high.
The day was almost perfect for
foot ball and one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed a game
in this city was out to see the fun.
Durand's team was somewhat
lighter than the locals, but was well
coached, and during part of the
game mixed things up in lively
manner. They played clean, hard
foot ball, but they were outclassed.
The game was called at $3.50 with
Durand defending the east goal.
River Falls kicked off, took the ball
on downs and went over for touch
down in two and quarter minutes
of play. Three touchdowns were
made in ten minutes, and a fourth
in FIVE more. Then Durand took a
brace, found hole in River Falls
line, and pounded through it for a
touchdown. Then the locals woke
up, got the ball and were within a
foot of another touchdown when
time was called for the half. The
second half was fercely contested,
River Falls doing the faster work
and scoring two more touchdowns,
making the final score "a to S.
The game, though one-Sided, was
probably the best exhibition of fast,
clean, scientific football ever seen
in the city. After the game, the
young ladies of the senior class
banqueted both teams in G. A. R.
hall.

Gold in Pepin.

There is considerable excitement
at Pepin over the discovery of rich
gold finds. In the bluffs back of
Pepin iron ore lies in veins over 100
feet in thickness. H. Milliren,
farmer living near the village, dug
hole thirteen feet deep in the side of
a hill, going five feet into a red,
rusty-looking rock. He had an as
say made OF this material and found
that il contained 1922 so of gold to
the ton. He dug another hole in
sandy gravel and found gold mug
gets. Small threads of gold four
inches long were also found. On
the Eli Member farm a shaft SIS feet
deep was dug, the assay of material
ranging from $40 up to as high as
$3.50 of gold to the ton. There is
a prospect that the whole country
around Pepin will be turned upside
down in search of the yellow metal.

The Firemen's Ball.

The Firemen's Dance commands
general interest from the fact that
the fire brigade is in sense pub
lie institution. The brigade is COM
posed of volunteers who work for
nothing and board themselves.
They are at considerable inconven.
fence in instant attendance upon
the duties demanded of them and
are also necessarily at considerable
expense in furnishings required.
Consequently when they ask for the
support of their annual dance to
furnish funds for incidentals as
fremen's organization they usually
meet with a generous response.
This year was no exception. In fact
there was more interest manifested
in the dance this year than usual,
as is seen in the number of tickets
sold at a dollar each-180-and in
the increased attendance at the
dance. The managers have hereto
fore secured some popular orchestra
from abroad-St. Paul or Mime
apolis generally assuming that
such a musical organization would
attract a crowd. This year they
concluded 30 use home-talent or
chestra with the result that such
determination met with general ap-
prevail and music that was perfectly
satisfactory. The Redmen's Tanz
Orchestra is composed OF good mu-
sicians and the members are always
DESTROYS to please their patrons. 1t
is eminently proper that the orches-
ira should be patronized at home.

IN THE RIGHT PLACE,
Minister'S Prediction Verified by Ar
rival of Successor.

A young minister was called few
years ago to a church in a thriving
eastern city. His predecessor had
been a well-known preacher whose
sermons had attracted large congrega.
tons, but whose expressed belief was
that the clergyman's single duty was
the spiritual welfare of his people.
The church had failed to meet current
expenses for several years, and it's con-
siderable debt was increasing with me-
chanical regularity. The newcomer
was not wonderful orator, but he had
firm mouth and jaw. Within two
years he was at the head Of smooth
ly running business organization
whose departments were handled by
men who understood their work and
did it, which discounted its bills and
reduced its old tndebtedn ess. The
church had become working church
1.-THE church." he said one day, "is =
temporal organization doing an entire
" practical work. Business integrity
is as necessary to It's continuance and
definite achievement. Is as necessary
to its advance, as in any other tenn
poral organization"
Your predecessor was right, how
ever" spoke up o,ie of his leading
members, with smile; she always
said the Lord woul provide; the Lord
did provide you.'A--Leslie's Monthly
Magazine

coffee Not at First Appreciated.


knowledge of the taste and value
Of coffee spread but slowly, so that
it was not until the middle of the six.
teenth century that it reached Con-
stantinople. Here it melted the bit
ter hostility of the priests. An ex-
cessive tax was imposed upon coffee
houses, Notwithstanding which they
f1ourished and extended. After the
lapse of another hundred years cot.
fee reached Great Britain, where it
was introduced by one Edwards. a
British merchant long resident in
Turkey. The first coffee house in
London was opened by his Greek serv.
ant, Pasqua Rosie, in 1852, and the
introduction of the beverage into Eng.
land met with the same opposition as
in the East.
