HIS COMING TIME OF EASE
Georgia Farmer Was Looking For
ward to Period When Hard Work
Should Be Over.

A lumber buyer was staying over
night in a little farmhouse in the back
woods of northern Georgia. The men
of the house did nothing but sit by the
fire and chew tobacco. The lumber
man had told how he had held his job
FOR seven years.
"You got me beat" said the old
cracker. 1--WE only held mine for six
years."
What is your job?" asked the lum-
herman

DUBUQUE COLLEGE.

The property of the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd, which adjoins Loras
Hall on the north, has been trans
ferred to Dubuque College. BY the
transaction, which took place on
Wednesday, October g., the College
acquires large brick building in
excellent condition and an addition
of eight or more acres to the cam
pus. The college grounds now COM
prise thirty-one acres of land fronting
on Fourteenth and Alta Vista streets.
The sisters have purchased the Bon
son property, on which they will
erect a new establishment. AS soon
as they vacate their present property
the College will remodel it for a
science hall.
The music at the dedication of the
beautiful church recently erected at
Waukon, Iowa, was furnished by Dr.
Dress and his octette.
On Wednesday evening the Oxford
Opera Company appeared at the
College Theatre. The Chocolate

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"A CAMPAIGN THAT DID NOT
FAIL"
To the Editor of the Catholic Bulle-

To the Editor of the Catholic Bulle-
tin:
The undersigned begs leave to
direct attention to the misfit title of
one of the editorials in last week S
issue of the Bulletin. The vigorous
County Option campaign in Mime
apolis and Hennepin County cannot
fairly be called failure. The edi-
torial referred to admits, further on,
that the campaign of education 'can-
not fail to have a good effect The
title is misleading; and might convey
the impression that the wet" forces
have much to rejoice over.
The liquor interests secured a cost
ly victory in more senses than one.
They scattered broadcast an enor-
nous corruption fund. 1t is matter
Of general comment that never before
at any public election was money SO
lavishly expended by any party or
partisans. The supporters of the
dry side had but very little money,
not sufficient to meet the ordinary
expenses of hall rent and postage for
their literature. The "drys" had
no interest in the campaign except
an unselfish ambition to purify the
city and county of the saloon evil.
John Barleycorn was fighting for his
life. The reiterated, frenzied cry of
the sacred rights of vested interests,
narrowing prophecies of the sad con-
ditions that would confront us, if the
men now engaged in the business of
making drunkards and of debauching
the community, should be compelled
to seek more becoming way of max
ing living, frightened the timid and
the inexperienced. Shameless exag-
gerations of business depression here,
and of prosperous conditions in our
neighboring city, should Hennepin
go dry won the weak and the
selfish to the wet" side. The people,
however, now understand better than
ever before, the dangerous and defiant
power of the liquor interests. Much
has been gained through the argu-
ments of the "drys" for the higher
ideals of civic virtue and public de-
cency. No campaign can be regarded
as a failure that won approximately
thirty thousand votes for civic
righteousness.

With one of you for richest gem
That CLEANS in kingly diadem;
Ye know the history Of my heart.
For have told you every grief
In all the days of twenty years,
And | have moistened you with
tears,
And in your decades found relief.
For many and many time, in grief,
Ny weary fingers wandered round
Thy circled chain, and always found
In some Hail Mary sweet relief.
