Collegeville Items.

The contest for the annual Conroy oratory medal was , held last Thur-.lay evenjng in the College Auditorioum. Mr. Hollingsworth presided and as he Introduced the difttTerit speakers, gave an interesting . talk on the oration which each was about to deliver. Ross Dean, principal of ihe Rensselaer high school. E. P. Henan and Rev. M. Ehlering acted as judges of delivery: while the Revs. A. Scheidler. F. Waehenddrler, and J. Henkel went* judge- on composition. A anions subjects were discussed by Hie 'orators, making the contest interesting and instructive. Joseph Kemkel was the winner of the gold medal. second place falling to Thomas Harrington. Following is the program: Marche Militaire, F. Schubert... • Orchestra Our Country’s Progress . i •. . Thomas Harrington American Catholicity.. Anthony Pax In the' Olden Times Andrew Sabados 1. stu<ii an ti n a Wallses Orchestra America's Rebirth at Trenton... loseph Kenkel Where Will It End?..George Aman The Panama Canal. .Otto Mueller Smiles and Caresses Orchestra The last public program before the commencement play in June was rendered Sunday evening by members of the Aloysian Literary Society. Considerable tallemt was displayed although those who entertained were still quite young and the program was highly enjoyed by everybody. It was rendered more pleasing by Master McGahey’s violin solos and the splendid music rendered by the Orchestra. Cathedral College baseball team of Chicago journeyed to Collegeville Thursday, May 16, and from all indications would have proved more than a match for the Varsity nine. The visitors displayed the ease and coolness which is seldom seen in mere amateurs on the diamond. The Varsity men made quite a few errors and bad plays in the first inning, but even these can easily be condoned on account of the bad weather. As it was they were 1 on a fair way to recover a great part of the handicap of their opponents when in the fifth inning the game was called on account of rain. It would be a pleasure to see a clash between the two teams on a fair base ball day,. , The following were guests at. the College during the past week: Mrs. Frank Whitcomb and daughter Loretta, Shelbyville; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Reed, Auburn; Thos. Maloney, Tefft; Mrs. T. F. Miurphy, Miss Irene Cannon, Mrs. G. N. Clements, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cavanaugh, Chicago. Last. Sunday, May 19, the Varsity met St. Xaviers on the diamond for the third time this spring and for the third time the score at the end stood 2 to 1. • St. Xaviers had defeated the Varsity twice but the latter succeeded in slipping one over the former in the last battle. The score stood 1 to 0 in favor of St. Xjaviers at the end of the sixth. With one down Rachor gained the initial sack On an error by Leissing; Whitcomb fanned; Fitzgerald was purposely given a walk; Sindelar slashed out a. single over short, Landoll heavod the ball over second ami it bounded on into the crowd. B<nh runners scored. St. Xaviers protested on the strength of a ground rule allowing only one base on overthrows to home, first and third bases. The protest, however, was overruled, and by decision of the umpire both - runs counted. This left the score 2 'to 1 in favor of the Varsity and thus it remained to the end. There were many exciting turns in the game; a few times both sides had the bases filled with none or one out, but could not score. The Varsity lost a few chances when they might have scored but for want of watchfulness on bases, three men being thus caught off their guard.

Prof. Chas. W. §tewart, the very well known musician of Logansport, doctored’ for kidney trouble for many years and still was not relieved. A 'friend advised him to take Foley Kidney Pills which he did. He says: “They acted promptly, my backache left me, I gained strength, appetite improved, kidneys strengthened, and action became normal. Foley Kidney Pills entirely cured me.” —A. F. Long.

Novel Costume. A most unusual costume was fashioned from black velvet. The skirt, slightly wider than those popular earlier in the season, had a hem of ermine. The coat was a tunic. A design of roses and tendrils made of ermftie covered the back and front An ermine scarf was worn with this.— New York Press.

Possibilities for Loan Companies. Wider use of newspaper advertising fs recommended by H. S. Rosenthal In his new book, “Building, and Savings Associations.” The author sees boundless possibilities for savings associations in judicious newspaper advertising, which he says will bring certain returns to the associations. He traces the tremendous growth of advertising in this country and shows how nearly every business enterprise has been affected by the vital part publicity has played. While he recommends every kind of legitimate advertising, Mr. Rosenthal makes It plain that the most effective appeal to the investing public can be made In the daily newspapers. He devotes a chapter In his new book to this subject and gives building and loan association men “inside facts” and practical, beneficial hints on how to spend their money for publlclt; most, wisely. '

vut out tne quacK grass. Have the swine quarters dry. Millet is a great egg producing food. Share the skim milk with the poultry. 1 ■ ■ ■ —* , Ducka do not need expensive houses. Incubators are a saving of both time and money. Plenty of roosting space is needed summer and winter. Never set a thin, lousy hen. She won’t stay her time out. ■ • Chicks should not be fed until they are at least 36 hours old. Keeping the finger nails cut may save both milk and mortification. Lately drained gumbo or black clay loams merely need good farming.

LAWS

The law that swings the stars through, space And brings each tp tta wonted place. That law brings with a spring day** breath Green on hills gray with wintry death; It breaks the leaves out on the tree, It-'ruWs the lives of you and me; Man making laws is never done— God holds his universe with one. The law that sets the suns ablaze Divides our marching nights and <laya; It drives the comets out and far Beyond the last lone blinking star; It forms the daisy by the brook, The dancing shadow in the nook. Man makes his own laws but to brnah The one law not all time may shake. The law that heaves the rolling tide Across the sea from sl<)o to side. The law that gives faint worlds that* glow Shapes every little flake of snow And with unfailing rule, and just, Molds marvels In the grains of dust— One law has stood unchanged glway; Man makes his laws anew each day. The law that flings a shaft of light Adown the endless miles of night From some high world which seems to us But a fuint orb all tremulous— That law shapes roses Into bloom To scent the breeze with their perfumo. Anil drapes the clouds o’er frowning heights— Man/cannot count the laws he write*. Through all the days and all the year%. Through all our smiles and Jill our tear*. Through all that Is atul that shall be. The one law shall remain the key, A changeless, endless, simple rule M’herein the scholar or the fool May see the great and primal Causo— But man still makes a-many laws.

STRONG TITLE.

Mrs. Wunder—But, Mr. Artman, I do not understand why you have the title “Oleo” on this plaster statuette of a goat. Mr. Artman—Because it is an Imitation butter.

Great Provocation.

Major Jugg—lndeed, sub. I’m sorry to heah that yo’ hev sued yo’ wife fo’ dlv’ce. May I inqulah what was the provocation, suh? Colonel Bottle —The provocation was great, suh. She gave me a gallon of whisky fo’ Christmas. Major Jugg—But, sho’ly, suh, that was no gfound fo’ divo’ce. Colonel Bottle—Not at fust thought, no, major. But, suh, consideh my outraged feelin’s on discoverin’ that tt was drug stoah whisky.

As to Globe Trotters.

Mrs. Meddergrass—The paper makes a big to-do about Professor Goso, the "famous globe-trotter,” who’s intown now. Mr. Meddergrass—Pity the editor can’t get nothin’ better to write about than one o’ these circus fellers ’at walks on a big ball. Never saw much of it, m’self.

Too Much for Them.

Zobbs —Old man Rocks doesn’t seem worried because his boy Is in the hands of kidnapers. Seems to think they’ll turn him loose without ransom. Dobbs—Yes. You see, the lad is a boy orator.

Good Credentials.

"Yes, it is terrible,” moaned the Weeping. Mother. “It is terrible to think of our little sop in the hands •of the kidnapers.” “But,” said the Sympathetic Friend, “think of the. social prestige it gives you.”
