Mangun, an old Ogden boy, now located in Salt Lake, was in the city speculating at the autumn sale, and ruminating in the Carnegie library". The election boosters were out in full force. Anyone curious enough to take notice might have seen autos, carriages and wheels scurrying back and forth in the interest of the different differ-ent parties. A hot contest ensued, with results too well known to mention. Misses Loretta and Genevieve, daughters daugh-ters of Mrs. M". E. Malcne, and pupils of Sacred Heart, went over to Salt Lake to hear Sousa and his great band. Special trains were run from Ogden to Salt Lake for the benefit of those wishing to see Frltzi , Scheff, who played there on the nights of the 5th, 6th and 7th.

The Knights of Columbus made a finp showing Sunday morning, when they marched in a body to the late mass, which was sung by Rev. John Ryan at 10:45, instead of 10:30, so as to enable the visiting knights to be present. A beautiful sermon was delivered by Rev. P. M. Cushnahan, who chose his text from the Gospel of the Sunday. Logical, Log-ical, rhetorical and eloquent was the discouse. With an ease and ardor, often lacking in those who claim to possess greater powers of oratory, he surveyed the history of . the church from the time the mighty Pilot bade the winds and waves, be still until the present era, when the passions of men and the fury of fanatics lash Peter's bark, even as it was threatened by the elements. Adhering to the figure chosen, cho-sen, he addressed the Knights of Columbus Co-lumbus as followers of one of the noblest no-blest passengers that ever rode in. Peter's bark, urging them to be true to themselves and to their standard. MARGARET MILLER, '06. Sacred Heart Academy. |
