crooked, hollow log which made a part
of the fence, one end being in his field
and the other in that of his neighbor.
After driving the burglar out he
changed the position of the log, so
that both ends were in his neighbours
field, and concluded t o watch the re-
suit. Soon the pig came along and
went through the log, as usual, but
upon searching for potatoes he found
only pasture grass, and after some lit
tie delay he seemed to arrive at the
conclusion that he had not gone
through the log at all, so he went
through again, and upon emerging in
to the pasture field seemed more mys-
titled than ever; but after a more
prOtracted search for potatoes than
ever before, he seemed to conclude
that owing to some blunder of his own,
he had not really gone through the
log, so he went again and out into the
pasture field, but this time he stood
still as a statue for about half a min
ute, and slowly the bristles began to
stand erect along his back, and with
two or three tremendous shifts he set
off at the top of his speed for the house
of his owner, and never afterwards
could be induced to approach that
part of the pasture field.

Starving Indians.

Rev. DR.. Brick, Church of England
missionary at Peace river, Northwest
Territory, has made some startling an
nouncements in reference to the Indi-
ans who are not under treaty with the
Canadian government were dying eve
ry year from starvation. For the past
three years game has been very scarce
all through the Northwest, and unless
the Ontario government furnishes re-
lief at once the race will soon be exter-
minated. He instanced many cases
where the Indians had kept body and
soul together for months on boiled
leather and old ~moccasins, and others
where horse flesh was the staple food
of the red men during the winter
months. Many cases of cannibalism
had been reported, and he had personal
knowledge of one case. The govern
ment, he said, vas not bound under
treaty to furnish relief to these starv-
ing savages, but unless something was
done at once the determination of the
race of red men would stand out as a
blot on the good name of Canada.

Class Day Exercises.

A severe thunder shower in the mid
die of the afternoon was followed with
the brightest of skies when the hour
for the class day exercises arrived, and
a large audience gathered on the acad-
envy green. Glass President E. K.
Hall presided. The class grafton, by
Lyman P. Wood of Northampton,
Mass, was a brief but pertinent review
of some of the more prominent features
of the class history, calling attention
in conclusion to the class memorial,
two stones on the academy green
which mark the time meridian line.
The class essay, by Gertrude E. Howe
of st. Johnsbury, was both brief and
bright with it's references to the mid
dlers, juniors and sub-juniors, and to
the meridian line as the bright centre
in the history of the school from which
all the lesser lights will radiate. The
class poem, by Jennie p. Cross of St.
.Johnsbury, graphically told the story
of a special gift of the gods
"who send on earth their blessing

with some account of class expert
ences up to the present time. The
class prophecies, by Edith Ross of st.
JOhnsbury, contained the usual num-
Der of "hits" on various members of
the class, eliciting frequent applause
from the class as various pen pictures
were recognized. The singing of the
class ode, written by Lulu M. Fenno,
was a very fitting close to these most
successful exercises.

A Pig in a Poke.

A farmer was greatly annoyed by his
neighbours pig getting into his potato
field and harvesting on his own ac-
count. Whenever he drove the ag-
gressor out he was forced to lay down
a PANEL of the snake fence, as bacon
in the concious state is always careful
never to betray the place where it en-
ters a bonanza by going out there,
unless he is very hard pressed by dogs.
The farmer had diligently searched
for a defect in the fence, but failed to
find one where the pig could by any
possibility enter, so he concluded to
watch, and soon had the satisfaction
of seeing the thief enter the end of a.

"The Emperors" was the subject of
an Grafton by Harley j. Emerson of
St. Johnsbury, a timely resume of the
lives and characters of European En-
perors with special reference to the
late Emperor Frederick of Germany.
Elizabeth L. Hall of South Ryegate
followed with an essay on "The Paper
age" giving some interesting facts
concerning the early manufacture of
paper and the remarkable diversity of
uses to which it had been put, closing
with reference to the part it plays in
the circulation of literature, etc.
The next essay, by Thena Morrill, of
St. Johnsbury, San incident" was a
thrilling story of a woman's GOODNESS
and courage in pioneer times with the
suggestion that it is we'll for us of to-
day who talk of higher education to

the fate of the nation.
The class essay vas by Margaret
F. Newell of st. Johnsbury (who held
the rank of valedictorian,) her subject
being "The nero of Altorf." The ia
miliar story of William Tell was very
interestingly re-told with a number of
facts concerning his life and the man
ner in which he died that were new to
many. 1t was an excellent paper.
The valedictory addresses were by
Jesse G. Spaulding of st. Johnsbury,
with the usual parting words to class

and teachers, we'll prepared and deliv-
