CATItOI.H'.
The Catholic church is located on
West street and Sixth avenue. Kev.
Father Dupree who has been here in
charge for the past three months, holds
Mass on the First and Thiid Sunday's
of each month at 10 o'clock. This de-
nomination has a membership of al-
most 16(1. and numerous additions are
being made.
To take in consideration the number
of religious services held in this city
each Sunday would bring to ones mind
the thought of a truly religious com-
munitj.
The nine churches combined have
not less than sixteen sermons each
Sunday; eight Sunday school service*
sixteen young people', meetings with
both junior and senior; and with the
V. M.C. A. meeting the combined
number would reach the gratifying
amount of 41 religious services every
Sabbath; or L'132 every year. The
preaching services alone would reach
in number to 832, not including the
prayer meeting sermons which are de-
livered by the ministers of most de-
nominations.
.No one can doubt that Stillwater is
i up to the standard and ranks first in
; regard to her moral and social stand-

For .he heard the soft winds whiapcri,iK

Ye violets, blow!
Spring, spring is come- there's naught to

j The fairy shook ti. r Hlmy wins*
j And (lew lo roast the woodland things
Forth from the hive she drove the Ir< :
She tapped the wee hnds on the trees;
She whistled shrill
O'er wood and hill
j I o call her b:rds Irora southern sea*.

Twontd he a sin
To venture out in the cold and wet
Aw ay to a mossy glade she (lew.
She brought a violet Viet with dew.
She sprinkled them wetland badetheni rise:
She tickled their whiskers and drowsy eyes.
The lazy folk
Yawned wide and woke
Then kissing her hand, away she flies.
■So through the meadows, woods anil hills
The fairy her pleasant t.-isk fulfills;
The noddite: creatures she wakes from rest
W ith a call, a songor a merry jest.
That through the earth
There may be mirth.
Since winter's past with alt its ills.

choly funeral items from the Preston.

ing contrast to the riippant style of
journalism so common in the West:
"(ii Dooley was over froniTuron to at-
tend the funeral of Dan Jones,
never lets n funeral slip if |,e can j,el(
it.'' '-William Cooper drove his hand-
some new stallion to Dan Jones' fan.
ernl Tuesday That was appropriate,
for Dan was a lover of fine horses and
could tell one at a glance." "Tuesday,
the day of Dan Jones' funeral, was one
of the rockiest day* of this rocky
month. The funeral was the biggest,
ever seen in this section, and if the
day had heed a pleasant one, the crowd
would simply have surrpised the
