on matters connected with the contracts
regarding the extension of the tunnel.
He says the work of procuring the sig

he had hoped for. 1t is difficult to see
some of the mine owners and others are
deferring the signing of the contracts,

There is counterfeit money in circula-
tion in Central and the residents and
business men want to be on their guard
for the showers of the queer. At the
ball game Sunday some generous heart
ed soul contributed phoney half dollar.
The imitation was discovered at the
bank when it was presented with other
money for deposit. The half dollar piece
looks as though it is made of lead and
tin and in order to detect its worthless

The A. o. U. w. hall was filled to it's
capacity Friday evening by members
of the High School Alumni and guests
at the reception rendered the graduates
of the class of '05. Following the usu-
al custom of the Alumni, the candidates
for membership into the society were
put to test to determine whether they
were eligible to become members.
Three or four very difficult questions
were propounded to each of the gradu-
ates and these they were required to
answer correctly and to the satisfaction
of all present. Although some of the
questions were extremely hard, the
graduates proved equal to the task and
answered not few of them properly.
Before becoming full fledged members
of the Alnmni it was necessary for the
graduates to take oaths that were not
only solemn but most binding. These
were administered by Sherman Harvey
in his characteristic tone of voice and
manner. Dancing was indulged in after
the Alumni ceremonies and delightful
time was had until after midnight.
During the evening delicious fruit punch
was served.

And in spite OF the many bitter

ed TO play with other young people.
Now the dark vaults of Sistine chapel
attracted him irresistibly. There he
was able to work far better than on
the shore OF the Elbe. The air Of Italy
and the great proud names inspired
him more than the more smiling land
scapes OF his home country.
At Rome he began his great work,
the Holy Family" One day when
he was taking a walk outside the city.
he saw young peasant girl surround
ed by a number OF little boys and
girls. They asked her to sing while
they were dancing. She did so, and
her face, her mild loving eyes, the
charm OF her movements and the ex-
preston OF her face when she looked
at the children, combined with her
soft eyes, made a picture which
caused AAtonio,s- heart to beat faster
and he hurried home to try to fasten
the features Of the young girl on the
canvas. Again and again he was
attracted towards the rural country
where the young girls home was, he
saw her very often and her features
appeared to him SO beautiful that his
own production of them seemed poor
and colorless. He was always won

thing so chaste, SO pious about her
that he was afraid to hurt her feelings
by asking her. At last he gathered
courage enough to ask her fathers
permission, and the young childlike
peasant girl. Allegro, was treated by
the young artist as IL she had been
queen.
These were happy hours for both OF
them. The girl was even more inter-
ested In the painting than the artist,
but now the painting was almost fin
