was here. For the high schools he
has proved the leader, and when the
loving cup was presented by Presk
dent R. T. Miner, Maxson's team
mates stood back that he might re-
ceive it.
Temple, which scored nothing the
first day, was a close second to Beau
mont. With Galloway and Davidson
as stars Temple went to the front
among the high schools and almost
reached the Beaumont score.
Dallas, which made but one point
the first, piled up seventeen Saturday
by clever work by WINNER, Everett
and Mcqueen. WINNER got the pole
vault at 10 feet fiat, making higher
vault than did the academy contest
ants. He tried for a record, but
missed it.

NO LEGAL WEIGHT FOR PEANUTS

There is no legal weight for peanuts
in the state of Texas.
Now that peanuts are being grown
extensively in Texas, the inquiries as
to the legal weight are numerous. In
Quiry has been made to the attorney
general on the subject, but there is
nothing on the statutes. Now inquiry
is being directed to c. H. Alvord, pro-
lessor OF agriculture at A. e. NJ. col
lege AS far as Mr.. Alvord has been
able to learn. Texas has never adopted
legal weight for peanuts. The
weight given by Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Florida is twenty-five pounds
per bushel Tennessee gives stand
ard weight of twenty-three pounds,
Peanuts being a leguminous crop, and
one that enriches the soil, are being
planted more extensively in Texas
than ever before.

enteen high schools and four acad

Notwithstanding the rain, which
lasted an hour, the field stood up well.
After the rain as good as ten feet fat
was made in pole vaulting, and as
good as 1855 was made in the mile re-
lay race.
The high school relay race was a
classy event. Ten high schools com.
peted in this. These ten runners made
fine picture on the circular track,
but the performance of the Temple
high school boys was spectacular. Tn.
til the last lap Temple had 1t well in
hand, but Maxson was the last to run
for Beaumont, and he soon closed up
the distance between him and the
Temple runner, and was a close sec.
ond at the finish. Had his teammates
delivered the race to him closer up,
he might have made the distance in
first place.

Il can conceive no scene more pa
thetic nor one that appeals more
touchingly to our sympathes than the
contemplation of child emerging in
to the years OF discretion seeing her
father and mother estranged from
each other. Her little heart is yearn-
ing to love. She longs to embrace
both parents, but finds that she cannot
give her affection to the one without
exciting the displeasure or resentmen,
of the other.
"A lady prominent in social life
once said to me in Newport: i do not
recognize any law, human or divine,
that can deprive husband or wife Of
the right to separate and to enter
fresh espousals when they do not live
in harmony together
"'You speak, l replied, of your
rights, your privileges. But you have
not a word to say of your duties and
obligations'
"Ah. my brethren, if men and wo-
men had due consideration for their
duties and responsibilities their rights
would take care of themselves. There
can be no rights where there are no
corresponding obligations. There are
no rights against the law of God.
20 Thou, who art the Father of
Light and the Dispenser Of every good
and perfect gift, cast a ray of Thy di-
vine light on our beloved country, that
the spiritual and moral growth of the
nation may keep pace with its materi-
al prosperity. Teach us to realize the
fact that saving knowledge consists in
knowing and worshiping Thee, the
only true God and Jesus Christ Whom
Thou hast sent
Teach us that he alone is free who
enjoys the glorious liberty of the chill
dren Of God, and that freedom which
delivers us from the bondage of sin:
that he alone is great who is virtuous.
Above all, may we learn from Thee
that true national honor and glory
and genuine imperialism are found in
the empire of the soul over it's pas
sions and that greater is he who con-
quereth himself than he who taketh
cities
Christ has left us code of legis-
lation in the Gospels. These moral
principles are immutable because they
are founded upon the eternal prnc-
pies of truth and justice. They have
already stood the test of 1000 years;
they are as vigorous and as authorita-
tive today as when they came from the
lips of their Divine Founder And
they will be binding on the conscience
of men as long as human society itself

A moisture dimmed his eye
And made its blue as soft a hue

The winds of March were keen
But all his heart was warmed to heal

The burden OF his years of toll
Was lifted from his back:
His furrowed cheek was smooth anG

His gr;=zled hair was black,
The silken flags and snowy plumes-
They passed him all unseen:
He walked again where first he sung

The messy rocks and rugged glens
Sent back his voice again.

Took up the sad refrain,

NEW BUILDING
Will Be Added to Winona Seminary ir
Near Future.

Plans for an additional building for
the accommodation of the students of
the Winona Seminary for young girls
are being developed which, if adopted,
will make Winona one of the import
ant Catholic educational centers in the
state.
The plans for the new building for
this school were received this week
and were inspected by the members
OF the city council when they visited
the seminary to personally look over
the ground in connection with the re-
quest from Bishop Heffron for the
seminary that Wabash street between
Cummings and Villa streets be closed
and the seminary be permitted to use
this street for the development of it's
plan calling for larger grounds than
at present occupied.
With the large plans in view it is
claimed the request from the seminary
for the closing of this street for one
block is a modest one. Winona citi-
zens contributed literally for the pur-
chase of the site for the new Catholic
Boys college, but aside from this they
are being asked for nothing in the de-
velopment of the big educational en-
terprises which Bishop Heffron has
started. The use of this street for
this one block is rendered highly de-
sirable in the seminary enterprise,
where the students are young ladies
and whore it is sought to have privacy
within the seminary grounds.
