That a small city like Winona
should be so blessed is certainly re.
markable; but even more remarkable
is the enthusiasm with which the va
rious activities are carried on. The
Knights of Columbus are certainly a
breezy crowd, no matter where you find
them; but the assembly that sat down
to banquet In Winona and listened to
six speakers during the evening could
not be equalled for effervescence any
where. It was very flattering to the
speakers to have every point recog-
nized. every story laughed at, every
eloquent period adorned with hearty
and laundering applause. Among the
speakers was the notable Mr.. Lawler,
the lawyer of st. Paul, a delightful
and most eloquent orator, and a priest
of Lacrosse, who uses the same meth.
cd as New York's Patrick Murphy,
and with the same success. Although

overlooked the hall, whose corridors

people acquainted with eastern lee

would never dream that the Bishop

Certainly he put the blase lecturer
from the East through such PAGES as
only DR.. James j. Walsh is accus-
toned to and delights in. On Satur-
day afternoon he invited him to adj
dress the girls of st. Teresas Acad-
envy; on Sunday morning to preach
the sermon in the cathedral to the
knights of Columbus; on Sunday
evening to address the knights at
their initiation banquet; on Monday
afternoon to lecture to the college
boys at two, and to the college girls
at five; this Evolutionary quickstep
concluding with the lecture for the
Press club at eight in the evening. 1t
must be said that the talker from the
East caught the Bishops pace at the
very start, and looked as fresh at the
close as at the beginning. He lost his
blase air. He could not help it. The
western audience is as much like the
eastern as bird is like an oyster. The
"CoJCAA duu1cuCc UuUUl0S over WIFI
interest from the mere event, and if
the speaker is interesting boils over
with enthusiasm. The eastern audi
ence, as one disgruntled speaker
growled, thinks it knows too darned
much," and is sparing of applause,
cautious in compliment, and hostile to
enthusiasm, leaving orators to feel
that their art has been somewhat
lacking. Hence the East has no
speakers and the West has many, and
will have them all as soon as the pro-
fessionals discover western euthusi-
asm and cordially. Bishop Heffron's
oratorical guest confided to me his
opinion that the people Of the West
made him feel that he was worth
while, while the people of the East
gave him the thought and the feeling
that either he was a pinhead or they
were worse.

one had only to look once at the
hardy, healthy, bright young Brothers,
athletic and at the same time deep
minded, to see that the Bishops praise
was justified. High school and col
lege for boys and girls, modern build
ings, able teachers, the latest and best
methods, all in town of $4,000 people,
could hardly help surprising visitor
from the East. And as great sur
prise as any was the existence of a
Catholic press club in the town. of
which there is no duplicate in the
country. Chicago has an authors club
and New York Catholic Writer'S
Guild in a state of suspended ANNA
ton or admiration, but know not of
Catholic press club nearer than
Paris. 1t consists of only half a score
members, who are not journalists but
advocates and promoters of Catholic
press. One little enterprise which
they carried out during my stay in
Winona will illustrate the spirit and
methods of the West, or to be accu-
rate, the Northwest.

 At last they sat down on a rock and pretty soon Susie's head began to noo and in a. minute she was fast asleep.
 Brother James watched her for a while but at last his big brown eyes closed and he too fell asleep. When the children woke it was nearly dark and James said they must hurry home or mother would be worried. They began to walk very fast but soon brother knew they were not going the right way and they turned around to go back the way they came. That wasn't the right way either and James knew they were lost. Soon Susie began to cry and said: 'FI want my supPer-I want my mother
 Poor James was hungry too but he laughed and made Susie sit down on big log to rest. James was quite sure now he didn't know the way home and when Susie said she was cold, he be- gan to look to see what he could find to cover her with.
 He saw that the tree they were sit ting on was big and hollow, so he said: Susie, let's play this is our house, and we will creep in and have fun and be nice and warm.
 Susie thought that fun and in they crept and went fast asleep. The chiidren's mother had been watching for them a long time and when fath- CT came home they started to walk toward the wood. They hadn't walked very far when they saw a fat little foot sticking out of tree and then they knew 1t was Susie and of course where Susie was, James must be.
 Father took hold and pulled Susie out and then James came scrambling out too.
 I guess never before were the chill dren so glad to see father and moth CT and as they walked back James said: Why mother we weren't far from home were we, but it seemed a long long way.

JAMES AND SUSIE GET LOST.
(By Virginia vale.)

Once upon a. time, a long time ago, there were two children, a boy whose name was James and his little sister Susie.
 James was very proud of his sister and felt that he must take care of her and never let anything hurt or fright en her.
 One day they started for a walk in the woods to pick some flowers for their mother. Susie skipped along talking all the time, and James al- ~ost had to rIlN to baep up with her.
