Button to Have a Resident Priest

St. Bridget's parish in Bluffton is to
have it's own resident priest. Rev. Faith
err James Whalen, assistant to Father
Have, has been directed bv Archbishop
Keane to build the priests house. A
meeting was held at the home of Phil
Carolan in Bluffton Twp, Monday even-
ing, and about $1,000 was subscribed
for the priests house. The purpose is
to make it substantial, commodious,
and modern in every particular, house
that will be satisfactory for many years
to come. Terrence Caroan has offered
an acre and half as donation for the
erection of the house on the corner just
east of the Bluffton church. The
house will be built either on that corner
or on one of the others at the cross
roads.
Heretofore Father Have and his
assistant both have s!ternated in
going to Bluffton. Now that Button
is to have it's resident priest, DEBORAH
will have only one priest The work is
too much for man Of Father Hawe's.

George Beban in "An Alien" Made
Able Cry.

There are two kinds of tears, Minsk,
and all you know is the horse reddish
kind. But the wet tear, that you wipe
with the palm of your thumb and then
give a little shifts, you don't know
nothing chow can you?
You even told me yesterday that the
! saddest thing what ever came forward
in your life is when you was out OF
job and you finally got on the jury, two
dollars day. Soon as you got sworned
in, the prisoner confessed out and
everybodeh got dismissed.
So how can you be touched. Your
heart is as exactly as 'Hart" means
in our private national language, But
l don't care how hard dried up your
heart is Minsk, I'll get it for you lit
tie bit softened. Go, you know, till
you come to Broadway nearly by Forty
fifth street, and on the west side from
the street you'll see sign hanging out
what says "Mr. George Beban, in An
Alien"
Soon like you see the sign you know
that's the Astor Theater and that's
where want you to go to see it some
thingI seen it, and if had a gifted
talent like George Beban I would ect it
right here for you in this cigar store.
And can't ect unless holler, but my,
the Astor Theatre, it's the silent drema
you know, movem pictures.
amt going to describe to you the
idea from the show, Beautiful things
keep to myself! Minsk, it is one of the
sweetest little story tales what ever
seen on the screen. 1t is father love
for motherless child without moth
er and the struggle fight for that faith
er to bring up in hepiness his child,
Rosina, becaus they are each alone for
each other.
When he gave her pull up in his
arms and put his one hand on the beck
from her curleh head that was snug.
gled III his chest, evrytime what he
done that, was weak. Who could be
strong when it's by him his only child,
later taken from him, crushed down by
the wheels of uncareful driver of a.
automobile?
esk you Minsk, does ''fathe love-
here I'm getting all excited and three
rounds of checks is in front of me.
You go to see George Beban and if you
don't rave over him I'll pay for three
rounds of celery tonic deliberately!-By
