Army Navy battle gets attention only

Costs About S4aO, 1000.
The stra ngest part of the whole
episode is that those back of it do not
need to be concerned about possible
profits. TheiE concern is involved In
raising between S450,000 to 100000
with which to pay the expenses Of the
contest.
Never before has a foot ball game
cost like that. But. then, never be-
fore has the Midwest wanted to see
the West Point and Annapolis teams
perform badly enough to pay half a
million dollars. This year it is in for
a treat.

bringing the two service teams to

a financial success is nearly assured
by the payment of S123. 600 for a few
hundred boxes which went at an
average Of $3S.S0 a seat. The gen

Sanctifying Sausages

ILTHEN the holy ghost sufficiently
w permeated the cold storage eggs,
the embalmed sausage and pork chops,
the priest closed his Latin book, COM
mitted the whist broom to the care OF
his small pug-nosed assistant, and the
show was over. By cross-motions in
the air with his hand in the direction
of the loaded tables the priest signi-
fed that by his magical words the
holy ghost was firmly fixed in the sau-
sage, eggs, pork chops and beef, and
it is ready for the christian table.
Immediately the crowd Of children
surrounded the tables. hunting for
their respective baskets. Several Oh
Derby women tried to maintain order
and acted as referees whenever CON
troVersy arose as to ownership Of bas-
kets. At any rate the children mirac-
ulously found their baskets, or at
least It appeared to me that each one
got his or her basket, as they poured
thru the wide open door into the
street.
AS was about to leave the place
"A my attention was directed to q
group of boys and girls, each one with
small milk bottle in his hand. In
the midst OF them stood the priests
assistant, wildly gesticulating with his
hands to the growing crowd Of chill
dren. "Don'tl Don'ti The priest
may see it," he plead in a subdued
voice. "This is all the holy water we
have today and the ceremony is not
over yeti" Finally heard the assist
ant say. aha! the thieves OF holy
waterl"
"The thieves OF holy water" I re-
peated as left the holy house OF god.

BY HENRY.

ONE Of the many important features
" of Easter in the Roman Catholic
church is the baptizing of eggs and
sausage. Last Saturday was the day
set aside by the church for that par
ticular function.
Passing one of the Roman Catholic
churches in the near northwest dis
trict of this town, 1 noticed a large
assembly of boys and girls in front Of
the church, each carrying small bas-
ket, the contents of which was neatly
concealed under a snowy-white nap
kin. Drawn by curiosity, l managed
with some effort to elbow my way in
side the church. Lo. and behold! what
greeted my eye? The priest in = long
black skirt covered with table cloth,
small book In one hand, funny-loohng
whist broom in the other hand, sur
rounded by q crowd as large az the
one outside, was murmuring some
mysterious words in Latin to the
amazement of the bIack-faced boys
and girls surrounding him. From time
to time he dipped the bushy end OF
that whist broom in shallow yes
sci containing water, and with digni-
fed motion OF his hand sprinkled the
tables upon which were hundreds OF
small baskets, each containing sau-
sage, eggs, chunks of pork chops, or
cut Of beef, dressed with green leaves.
The contents OF each basket upon the
table were exposed to- the precious
holy water which the priest freely
showered upon the baskets with his
whist broom.
asked one OF the boys who APP
pareRtly was owner of one Of the bas-
kets: How will you find your basket
when the ceremony is over?"
"Ohl keep my eye on 1t all the
time; can see 1t now" he told me.
