Minnesota Pigmies at Denver.

It all depends on whose OK is gored
as to whether the goring is to be con-
sidered righteous or not. When the
herd OF the sacred bull of st. Peter
gored the Bryanites to death in the
late democratic state convention of
Minnesota, and accompanied their
performance with ribald jeers and
coarse reproaches, they felt that they
were doing good thing and that all
good men ought to approve it. But
in Denver the tables we're turned: the
johnson herd was gored there, and
cried out Justify against the unfair
ness, unkindness and cruelty of the
operation. The Bryan opposition in
Minnesota was looked upon as a
joke, and it's opponents we're ridiculed
to the limit. In Denver the johnson
candidacy for the presidency was re-
garded as joke and it's boosters got
the horse-laugh everywhere. The

Narrow Escape from Drowning.

Owen Newton, Clarence Hill and
Tom Scheen were on a fishing excur-
sion at Blue lake on Friday. and from
reports brought in by farmer living
in that neighborhood it is safe to say
they had a miraculous escape from
drowning. It seems that the boat they
used sprung a leak after they had
anchored in midlake and that it was
found necessary to dump the minnows
from two cans and use the pals for
bailing. Thos. Scheen and Clarence
Hill knelt in the bottom of the boat
and threw out water as fast as they
possibly could while Owen Newton
rowed for shore. But the water
gained on them and came over the
seat where Owen was sitting. Luckily,
however, the craft had neared shore
before it was found necessary to jump,
and then all three of the boys sprung
into four feet of water and walked
ashore. The farmer who told. the
story was the man at whose house
they called after the incident and re-
quested that they be permitted to stay
in his barn while their clothes we're
hung out on the bushes to dry.

CATHOLIC MUSICALE

Program and Ladies of Parish
Serve Refreshments,

Last evenings musicale given at the
palatial residence of MIR. and Mrs.
Thos. b. Galley by the ladies of St.
Edwards parish for the benefit of the
church was crowned with success.
The assemblage was a particularly
large one, which virtually filed the
Galley home and the expanse of We
randa without. There were also nany
people in the basement gymnasium,
which had been especially fitted up
with tables for games. A very pretty
combination light effect was produced
by numerous varicolored oriental
lanterns, which swung from the
boughs of the trees in the lawn, and
the scintillating rays of the electric
lamps on the porch.
Within the house decorations of wild
flowers were prettily arranged and
delicious ice cream and cake were
served in the dining room throughout
the progress of the musicale.
The musical program, arranged by
Mrs. 81. c. Cooney, consisted of many
numbers, all Of which were excellently
rendered. The Princeton brass band
opened the concert with two selections,
played on the lawn, and this was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Cooney with a vocal
solo in the music room, accompanied
on the piano by Miss Lola Scheen.
Anderson's orchestra, with Miss Hazel
Jaax at the piano, then rendered a
selection and the numbers following
were: Vocal solo and encore by
Serenus Skahen accompanied by Mrs.
Cooney, piano solo and encore by
Miss Lola Scheen, orchestral selec-
ton, vocal solo by Mrs. Cooney ac-
companied by Miss Lola Scheen. and
several numbers in succession by An
derson's orchestra.

During the three days Schultz, Me-
Namara and Louis Larson passed
most of their time at the commissary
department cooling off and inventing
fish stories to tell their friends when
they reached home. When they de-
parted from Princeton Sunny Jim's
face was fright to behold, while
Schultz and Mcnamara, who had
taken bath or two beneath the mid
day sun, could scarcely withstand the
pain from the ruptured blisters on
their backs and arms: Sunny Jim
