A story is told in the London Tribune of witty Irish priest, Father Healey, of Bray. On one occasion he had long argument with a Protestant minister about purgatory. As is the way with such argument, neither disputant was convinced, when the Protestant minis- ter remarked, "Well, I've lived sixty years in this world and I haven't found out the difference between a good Prot estant and a good Catholic yet" "Oh, haven't your" replied Father Healey. ''Well, you'll not be sixty seconds in the next world before you find out"

President Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock are trying to have Congress pass an act preventing any further disposal of coal or oil lands belonging to the government. It is estimated that there are 40,Oo0,OOO or more acres underlaid with coal veins, which, in many Instances, are thirty feet thick. The idea is that by keeping control of these lands the government will be in condition, in case of monopolistic op- pression@ or strike in the coal mines, to prevent coal famine.

GREENSBORO TAKES
SECOND FROM MARION
Both Teams Showed Fine Form, and II
Was Fight to the
Finish.

Greensboro, April 10.-(Special.)-The
Southern University took the second game
of the Marion Military institute series
by superior ball playing. All men on both
sides were in the best of condition and
the game was a fight to the finish. Both
games have been fine exhibitions of base
ball and the attendance has shown how
the people of Greensboro appreciate good
ball playing. The crowds have been the
largest ever seen on the local diamond.
The Marion boys played hard and we'll.
Errors in the first inning took some of
the starch out of them, but Words great
pitching kept up all the way through and
made the game uncertain till the close.
Daddy LaRocques Southern University
lads were in the game from the start
and played almost perfect ball. A beau
tiful double was pulled off by Hastings,
Ward and McGehee with a man on first
and one down.
The feature of the game was Ward 5
magnificent playing at short The boy
accepted seven chances without even q
tumble. two of which were sensational
One was a running one-hand stop of a
hot one off of second bag and the other
was the catching of a line drive with
two men on bases and two down. To
reach the ball the kid had to fall his
full length and then barely reached the
ball five inches off the ground. Kill
lough's catching was superb. He is one
of the best college players in the south
McGehee pitched a fine game. His con-
troll was good and he was touched up
for only six hits. He was cool at critical
times and played the game in a way
well up to his fine reputation. Marion MIL
itary institute plays here again tomorrow
