Colby University Notes.

The Junior reception at DIR. Robins. last
week, was especially enjoyable. Besides the
faculty and the class, there were present
several of the ladies of the village, which
rendered it, no doubt. much more pleasant
for the many gentlemen. The evening was
spent in very sociable manner. Excellent
music and refreshments were provided. The
class unanimously voted it first class
affair. President Robins is accustomed
thus to receive all the classes. at least once
a wear. He, and in fact all the officers, are
deservedly popular here.-One Of the boasts
of the students here, is their economy. Take
it in the matter of board, for instance. Last
term several Of the boys started club

4 Blanket Story.
Connected with the lookup in this city are
several apartments which look like horse
stalls, but are places in which CITY Mar .hal
"hife conducts the gay and festive tramp
and the still gayer and more festive imbibers
OF whiskey. In each Of these luxurious re-
ception rooms there are several blankets.
After a tramp has lain upon blanket over
night, as general thing that blanket is not
as sweet a. new-mown hay in the morning.
TO disinfect the bed covering it is the Gus
tom Of the police to hang them outside the
station and let the cool air toy carelessly with
their folds. 1t has often been noticed that
after these airings the number of blankets
would be diminished by one, and where the
one went to was mystery. Sunday, officer
Jones was standing the corner by
Titcomb's drug store carelessly watching the
blanket FLAP in the morning wind" Sud-
denly two young French boys appeared on
the scene. They looked cautiously around,
but did not observe that the officer was
watching their man9uvres. One of the boys
removed his OvercOat, folded the blanket up
nicely and tucked it underneath the cost.
The officer came round the corner When
the youthful Canucks saw his stalwar: form,
the one without the blanket uttered wild
yell, and ran across the bridge like deer.
The other boy turned to fly, but the blanket
impeded locomotion, and the officer nabbed
him. Probably at that moment there was no
more terrified young Frenchman on the wes-
tern continent than that boy. What little
English he knew was frightened out Of him.
He was taken into the station, and was so
terrified that he tainted. Whereupon the
kind-hearted officer took him home, and the
matter was explained through the medium of
an interpreter. The boy said he thought the
blanket was "norbon.'' That boy will prob
ably never steal another blanket again, as
long as he remains in this country.
