" Is a co-educatiOn institution. On
Friday evening a week the girls OF
the institution had set apart for a
Japanese Sociable" in the Congre-
gational Church of the town. A
number of College boys found their
way into the place where the cakes,
ice cream and japanese articles were
stored and hastily took the things
through back windows and doors,
and across the school grounds to their
own quarters and there ate them
selves almost sick They invited IN
all their friends to partake of tine
stolen good things of the girls.
After midnight they carried the
empty plates, cans and so forth back
To the girls building. Some of the
girls heard them and rushed out to
identify them, but the ungallant
boys were equal to the emergency
and turned the hose on the voung
ladies. The boys appreciated the
eating but not the entertainment.
Great indignity is expressed in
Waterville.

in the woods, short distance from
his barn cold in death. He had left
the house ut an early hour in the
morning. His young wife who
would shortly become n mother was
returning from the barn shortly af-
ter her husband had gone to milk
the cows, when she heard the crack
of rifle and she fell to the groun n
rifle ball having pierced her left side
Aid was summoned a courier was
despatched to Somerset for a pny.
sician DR. Brubaker accompanied
by Detective 7. J. Picking hastened
to the scene of the tragedy. The DIR,

ed n remarkable snake story from
one ofits correspondents in Tuscarora
Valley, several issues ago. The
Tuscarora valley man will have h
hurry up his snakes for a New
London, Maine, man goes one better
when he saws: ss'Directus Perkins, q
farmer living near Gungywamp, n
large and locally y-famed swampy for
est in the town of Groton, walked
through the widest part of the wood
on Sunday afternoon underneath
Gungvwamp ledge. He was on his
wav To visit his sweetheart When
near Snake Den, n small cave III the
highest part of the cliff, Mr.. Perkins
was surprised to run into a swarm OF
black snakes which were thawing ont
in the sun In an instant they were
all around him. Gungywamp Is &
famous place for racers, a variety OF
black snake which has white throat
and which kills much of its prey by
| lashing II to death with its tail
/ Those which attacked Perkins wer,
OF this variety. He Is a powerfully
built young man and perfectly fear
less, but was caught in his best suit
of clothes and without weapon IL
his hands Without hesitation, how
ever, he seized one of the largest ot
the serpents by the tail and snapped
its head off by quick jerk of the
wrist Then he used the quivering
body as a fail to pound the other,
with. The snakes made every effort
to get Mt him, and it was LITTLE
, trouble for him to kill fourteen o
them with his singular weapon
Seeing so many of their number
despatched the remainder vanished
in the surrounding underground.
