OLIVIER FUTURE MARISTS.

Harold -Healy and Victor Olivier,
two of Algiers' most popular and
talented boys, have decided to be-
come priests in the Society of Mary.
These boys belong to Two of the best

has always been above reproach and
they both have been model altar
boys. Harold Healy held the Office of
president of that thriving little So
ciety. FIR. Larkin has peen looking
after the boys, has tried them and in
structed them and laus has every
assurance that they will be a success
in their avocation. They will take

list Seminary, Brookland, D. c. Zen

Of them but with the Algiers spirit
they will succeed. All their friends

Childish characteristics.

The prominent characteristics of
childhood are innocence, trustfulness,
sensitiveness and curiosity, and on
our treatment of these qualities the
future development of the child will
largely depend To keep the childish
bloom Of innocence as far as possible
untainted; to honor trustfulness by
answering truth and the firm inten.
ton never to deceive; to meet sensi.
tiveness with tender consideration
and not with hardness and lack OF
sympathy; to treat curiosity as mind.
hunger and not to starve but feed it.
these are considerations of vital mo-
ment. The child's sense of wonder is
lovely endowment which should
never be chilled or discouraged. For
the child the world Is full Of surprises
The whole earth, the heavens above
and the waters beneath, the color and
scent Of flowers, the wind In the trees,
the songs Of birds, the flight OF the
swallow or the butterfly. all are beau
full surprises in which the child should
be encouraged to find delight and in
struction.-Rev. r p. Downes, LID.

A special meeting will be called
Friday night, the entire congregation
being requested to attend. Business

cipally that of renovating the parson-
age.
Rev. H. Kuegler, of Abita Springs,
has accepted the call. The installation
Of Rev. Kuegler as pastor will take
place about Sunday, Sept. 18th.
Special thanks are extended to Ser.
geant Anderson for having an officer
stationed at the church corner on
Sundays. The boys with their roller

the congregation, and that the officer
will afford relief from this annoy

III. y. G. {. NOTES.

Judging from the large attend
ance at the club rooms on Wednes-
day evenings. it would appear that
the socials given by our boys are
proving a banner attraction in local
social activities.
Owing to the Indictment weather
the past week, the members ana
their lady friends have been unable
TO show their skill with the racket
on the tennis court. Some of the
members have shown much talent
along this line and from the present
outlook it would appear as though
Algiers will soon develop some
championship material.
The club has progressed rapidly
the past week and now numbers IL
the neighborhood of rs. From pres
ent indications a membership of 1OC
will soon be reached.
In the very near future the clul
is going to stage a boxing stag an(
local fistic enthusiasts will be ar
forded the opportunity of seeing Al
giers pugilistic aspirants in action.
An indoor baseball game with
crack local team is scheduled TO
tomorrow night and lovers of thl
pastime are assured an interesting
game.
We have missed the smiling coun
tenance of Lee Frazer at the clu
rooms during the past week, an
hear with regret that his absence
attributed to his undergoing an OF
Grafton at the Hotel Dieu. However
we hear that he is rapidly recupeI
ating and hope to have him anon

test events of the past week was the
surprise party rendered little Doro-
thy Murtagh by her large circle OF
friends of the younger set. 1t was
a complete surprise to the little miss
in every way, and she proved herself
a most charming young hostess.
During the early part of the eve
ming her little friends presented her
with a handsome cameo ring and nu-
merous other gifts were received. De-
Iightful refreshments were served
outdoors amid palms and japanese
lanterns, and the result OF the cut
ting of the immense birthday cake
ablaze with pink candles gave the
following results: Little Miss Louise
Koppel, the button; Alice Riordan,
the ring, and Dorothy Murtagh, the
| thimble. The dime was found by
Master George Reynolds, and the
stick pin by Malcolm Manent.

MAMIE MORRISON SURPRISE

Whoever invented the saying. Man

try again, for he is all wrong; for it
is the railroads that dispose in this
age of ours. A party of Algiers'
younger set, all arrayed in festive
garb, with hearts throbbing with jubi-
liant expectation, journeyed buoyantly
towards a quiet residence on Della
ronde street to surprise one of their
friends, Mamie Morrison by name.
who was returning from San Antonio,
Texas Their intentions were good
and their purpose laudable. Why, then,
should the railroad object? However,
it did. and hours and hours passed be-
fore it would deliver it's passengers
at their destination, and it was 1880
before the heroine of this surprise
party arrived where everything had
been so well prepared for a rousing
good time good enough to make Texas
and its rip-snorting tornadoes pass
into oblivion. Disappointed as the
young people were, they nevertheless
made the best of bad affair and en-
joyed themselves to their hearts con-
tent until all were good and tired and
the responsibility of the party whis.
pered gently that it was time to re-
tire. Ais we'll that ends well.
