INFLUENZA AT THE COLLEGE.

No new cases of influenza are reported at -St. Joseph college today, and all cases are improving. i / No wonder they didn’t have any high cost of living in the old days. After supper the - family would gather in the front parlor with the what not and the mafble-topped center table, with the wax flowers in the glass cases, and the old family bible and the cabinet organ. And daughter would preside at the organ while the rest of the family sat around on the red plush sofa and the horse hair Chairs and sang: “What a friend we have in Jesus,” and “Abide With Mie,” until 9 o’clock and then go to bed. Nowadays, after dinner, father goes downtown and daughter goes to the movies with her best fellow, and mother goes out in the garage and puts a new inner-tube on her flivver. And along about midnight the family eats a lunch, then hit the hay and let the electric lights burn all night.
