Stern building the other day with a
bandage over eye, a handbag in
one hand and several packages in

stream of horses, bicycles, automo-
biles and vehicles of every description
was pouring down the street. The
sidewalk was crowded and the dear
lady could hardly make her way on
that, much less cross the street. She
waited several minutes for a lull in
the traffic and the bystanders heard
her say: Dear, dear, If 1 had to

Lou J. Beauchamp's Lecture.

Those who did not hear Mr.. Lou
J. Beauchamp, who appeared as the
FIRST number on the Leon Lecture
Course last Monday evening, miss
ed rare, treat. The house was
filled, and all were delighted with
the lecture. Mr.. Beauchamp took
as his subject, Take the Sunny
Side" He has the peculiar skill of
mingling the humorous with the
serious so that each contributes to
the forcefulness of the other. A
sudden volley of funny stories and
anecdotes would set the audience to
laughing heartily; and then would
come a recital of the heartaches
and sufferings which are common to
humanity that brought tears to the
eyes of the listeners. Some of the
subjects dwelt upon were: the di-
vorce evil in the United States, Cover
100000 being granted last year,;
the increase of murder, which are
nearly all committed by the youth
of our country; the evil of the sa-
loon business; the fact that the
churches are marking time instead
Of advancing, etc. But Mr.. Beau
champ did not make any array of
facts that are the unWelcome truth
without showing in what direction
the remedy lay Marriage ought to
be q sacrament with US as it is with
the Catholic church, and not kind
of social affair; this would stop
much of the divorce evil and make
better homes and at the same time
protect these youths who are re-
sponsible for nearly all the murders
Committed in this country. That the
church is marking time is not the
fault of the pulpit SO much-there
is coming a tidal wave within ten
years that will change all this to q
great advance spiritually, which
will be brought about by the prin-
ciples of honesty and fair dealings
that are being instilled into our
national life by it's great leaders.
The lecture closed with many words
of advice to the young man and the
young woman during counting days.

High School Wins and Loses.
(By r. I. Benefiel.

In the first games of the season,
the Leon High school drew a win
and q lose as their part of two
games of basket ball, played against
tho Lamopi school last Saturday.
one game was between the girls
teams Of the two schools and the
other was between two teams of
boys from the same schools. The
Leon boys completely outclassed
their opponents and were returned
an easy winner, the final count be-
ing 10 to 4, while the two teams of
girls were more evenly matched
and as result the score was much
closer. At the conclusion of the
second period the score stood 9 to 8
in favor of the visitors, although the
local girls were coming strong and
had there been five minutes more to
play there might have been differ
ent story to tell. > .,-,...
Boys Game.
Although the local team of boys
have had but about week of prac-
tice, they outclassed their opponents
at every stage of the game and at
no time did the visitors have look
in for the game, Bob Teale was the
main cog in the work of the locals
and was responsible for fourteen of
the nineteen points credited to his
team. Several of the baskets were
shot from a difficult angle and he
was also strong on defensive work.
The team work of the locals was
ahead of anything put up by the
visitors and it was only due to the
fact that Ferguson was fairly good
on fouls that his team was enabled
to score at all. Brown and Newlin
also came in for their share of the
hard work and showed themselves
to be fast as we'll adopts at lodging

Girls Game.
The Lamont girls started out with
a rush and annexed their nine
points in the first half, due to some
fine work by the forwards, Dillon
and Fem. At the end of the first
period the score stood to in
favor of the visitors and it looked to
be easy for them. However, the
locals came back with a vengeance
at the beginning of the second half
and played their opponents off their
feet from the start to the finish of
the period. Towards the end of the
game the visitors seemed to tire and
the locals, taking advantage of this
succeeded in slipping in couple of
baskets which brought the count up
to eight. The last five minutes of
the game was all in favor of the
Leon girls and had there been two
or three minutes left to play would
have been easy winners. AS a
whole the work of the Leon team
was a surprise to the people as the
game is entirely new to most of the
members of the team and this was
their first game. The work of the
Pullen sisters at the forwards was
the feature part of the work on the
part of the locals and they came in
