Saint Patrick's Day. in the Morning

Sure, and all day today by the looks
OF the sun and the green OF the grass
And by the beat of the drums ana
the footing OF the horns and tie
marrchings and the parradings up and
down cf the blue-coated sons of the
old sod as they strut about under
helmets and behind big STAIRS in every
city in America.
Now in case amy of the little mind
e dand illitherrate of this land of the
free should rise to ask who the divil
was St Patrick, amy way, it might
be we'll to explain that he was
grand cid Irish gentleman who was
born on the foreign shores of France.
Early in life he bacame disgusted with
the ways of the frog eaters and longed
for a sight OF the land which he had
been visiting in his dreams forr man
ny long years. So one bright and
sunny day he engaged deck passage
on a coasting schooner and he niver
slept wink until the bright rays of
the mornings sun made the dew
drops sparkle like diamons on the
green grass of the good old home Of
the harp the shamrock and the blarr-
ney stone.
But the first thing he saw when he
stepped from the gang plank of the
schooner to the sod OF old Ireland
was a squirmin', creepin' snake. Look
in TO the left OF him lie saw another
to the right of him, and behind him
and forninst him were NANNY more.
And bechune each and every snake
was a big, green divil of a frog.
What's this?" says Mister Patrick,
swellin' up with anger and frownin'
mighty dark, Sure and I've just left
the land of Sunny France to get
away from the loikes CT such as yon.
am not tired of frogs fried and
stewed and dressed with side dishes
OF all the things that creep, or else
why should l have left the land of
lilies and fair women and schwate
song?" So Mister Patrick at once
drew from the pocket OF his robe
grea tbig barlow with a blade as long
as an Oklahoma politicians dream
and an edge as keen as Charlie Has
kell's tongue, and he grabbed that
knife in both his hands and he opened
the blade with his teeth and, steppin'
mighty careful so as not to step on
amy cf the squirmin' creatures. he
went into the bush back OF the sea
shore and forninst one OF the beauti
ful Irish bogs and he cut himself a
jewel Of a backbone and, after trim
min it to his taste he sprang from
the edge of the bog and attacked
everything in the riptile line on the
beautiful Green Isle. And in the at
tack he failed not to tell them where
they got off. Lave the shores of
me island" says Mister Patrick. sure
and its enough of ye I've seen in the
land of the frog eaters and on their
tables for the past few first years OF
me life. Into the waters of the raging

REV. {. v. LEWIS
AGAINST DANCING
BLUSH OF ONE PRESSED AND
SQUEEZED IN BALL ROOM.

The largest crowd that has ever
greeted the Rev. George ". Lewis.
pastor Of Carter Avenue Methodist
church, heard him Sunday night. The
subject Of the evening service was
dancing, which he characterized as
having been hatched from the nest
egg Of the devil under the mud-sills
Of perdition. Following is the Scrip
tural text and an outline of the SER
mon preached:
Text Mark 6:2S: And brought
his head in a charger. and gave it to
the damsel and the damsel gave it
TO her mother"
That business man was right when
he said: Let the members of the
churches stop giving and going to
dances and show to the world that
there is something better in religion -
Now then, my friends, Jesus in His
sermon on the mount said: Where
fore by their fruits We shall know
them" Having watched the fruits Of
the ballroom, | have become fully
convinced that the whole thing is oi
evil and hatched out from the nest
egg of the devil under the mud-sills
OF perdition. Hence | preach this
sermon to put on record forever my
protest against this licentious prac-
tice and leprous blotch upon society.

cuaee, but ] can't afford to tread
upon hedgehogs barefooted. Though
use plain English and some things
that | shall have to say may bring
the blush to the cheek Of the adyo-
Gates of the ballroom, still there Is
nothing in this sermon that even
borders on vulgarity. Blush did |
say? No, take that back; if my
only hope for a blush is from the
face of one who is habitually pressed
and hugged and fondled and squeezed
in the ballroom reyel, could hardly

a blush to such a cheek Talk about

Notwithstanding recent changes in
the direction OF uniformity, great va

English is about the only regularly
required subject. Curious contradic-
tions appears in the several hundred
institutions examined. Certain sub
jects are considered so important by
some colleges that they require them,
while other colleges will not even ac-
cept them. Thus, for admission to the
4. Z course there are four colleges
that give no credit for science, and
four that give credit for only half a
year Of it. while. On the other hand,
81 colleges prescribe one full year OF
science Such contradictions as

the high school, provincialize college
studeu. bodies, and discredit fine dis

Again, some colleges rigi1ly enforce
the statements printed in the cata-
lgoue, while others leave much dis

charge of the admission.
Some real improyem ents in the rela.
ton of high school and college are
noted. however, showing that these
two important agencies in education

That admission to college should

grain judging and domestic science.
A carload of finely bred winning

and grasses will be studied and the
most practical rotations discussed.

on that farm, consequently home
making comes in for its share of at

with the every day problems that
confront the busy women on every
farm. The evening lectures will be
of special interest and will deal with
special concrete problems not taken

season tickets. A small charge will
be made for the course in order to
