C. T. U. have been having a strenuous time this week. Starting Monday after noon it was a steady grind one thing right after another until late Tuesday night. Monday afternoon Mrs. A. I). Stockton, formerly in charge of the Mother's meeting department iu Rochester, New York, led a very interesting and instructive Mother's meeting. The subject under discussion was "How to Teach Purity to our Children.' Mrs. Stockton handled this subject hi her usual earnest and energetic manner and was ably seconded by all present ami the discussion bids fair to bring about some radical changes iu the lives and education of some at least of the youth of our town. Monday night Miss Rose A. Davison ol Colorado hprings gave a recital consisting of selections from "Hlnck Rock," which were very interesting and well received, as was (he duet by the Misses Couch and llaldwiu and the olo by Miss Lillian Perkins. Tuesday aflernoou the W. C. T. D. ladies gave a reception to the teachers of the public schools and Tuesday night Miss Davison who is National "Y" organizer, gave a lecture 011 the work of the organ ization showing what hud been done and much more that could be accomplished in the future by steady, insistent effort. Miss Dav Isoit was entertained while here by Mis. J. C. Scott who pronounces her to be a lovely girl, iu love with her work and ready to make grtat icrifices for it.

The St. Johns Juvenile foot ball team reports another interesting game. This time it was with the Woodlawn juvenile team at the Hill ball park, Wednesday evening and our lads "done the bunch" from Woodlawn to the tune of 5 to o. We could not get the lineup of the boys from the timbered lawns but our crowd lined up as follows: Walker, c; King, rgj S. Magoue, Ig; C, Magoou, rt; Lelaud, It; F, Gains, re; 11.

They will play the Ilrowules of Portland Saturday on the ball grounds and admission will be free. All who are interest' cd iu the game are invited. Sunday Football Game. There will be a football gume iu the ball park Sunday that lovers of will be well repaid to vts recent came showed the weak places in the lineup and these have been eliminated.

South PortUwl, the team our boys are to hmTi the bloody sands, has been beaten but once iu four or five years aud our lads will need to lie on their mettle.
