HOLY NAME SOCIETY.

Last Sunday this society received
communion in body and, although
the number was fairly good, the spirit
ual director wants that number
doubled the next time. The men,
bers, led by the vice president, re-
cited the Litany and then sang Holy
Name hymns with manly harmony
that surprised the congregation. The
members were surprised at them
selves. The officers, James Higgins,
secretary, AlonzO Bourgeois, treasurer,
were on hand, as also many projects.
II was a beautiful sight to see so many
earnest men lined up at the commu-
MON rail. Mothers and wives give a
hand to the projects and let us fill up
that altar railing three times the next
third Sunday. Monday a few of the
projects met. The small number was
because of the Knights of Columbus
ride on the Sydney. All are expected
on the first Monday in April.

FIRST COMMUNION.

A beautiful first communion took
place on St. Joseph's Day at the I
o'clock mass. This was the result of
the hard work of Rev. Father Larkin,
S. NJ, who loves the little ones and
who knows so well how to prepare
them for this great event in their
lives. Both boys and girls formed a
beautiful and inspiring tableau as
they stood at the altar railing waiting
for their communion. The people
showed their appreciation by filling
the church and by going 10 commu-
MON themselves in large numbers.
The Feast of st. Joseph was. indeed,
worthily celebrated. Father Lar
annie. who witnessed the scene, was
both edited and pleased to see such
devotion.

Appleton, Wis, July 2.-Sidney
Shannon began his business life as
grocer. He won success by the
canvass of his clientele with horse
and blackboard. His personally soli-

became the leading merchant in the
city of 10000. A year ago Mr..
Shannon died, still under 40.
Mr.. Shannon had in the last years
of his life used his delivery horse for
a driving animal, for he looked the
part after being curried and cared
for properly. His will, opened re-
Gently, provided that $1,000 be set
aside with which to buy hay and
provide good shelter for the horse for
the rest of his life.
