COT HIS JACK THE CLINT
KILLER"

There is a LITTLE aneclote of Long
fellow which illustrates his love for
children and how he won their afTec-
tiOus.
1t seems that one little fellow il par
tieuIar was fond of spending his time
in the great poets library. One day,
after long ana patient perusal OF he
titles Ito him great and cumbersome
works. that lined the shelves, the little
chap walked up to Longfellow aud
asked. III a grieved sort of way;
Haven you got Jack the Giant
Killer LOngfeIlow regretted to say
that i'll ali his immense library he did
not have q copy.
The little chap looked at him in a
piiving way ANA silently left the room.
The next morning he walked in with
IA couple of pennies tightly clasrad in
his chubby list. and laying them own,
told the poet re coud now buy Jack
the Giant Killer of his own.

THE STUDENT SCORED.

A medical student who recently
dropped piece ofpaper, on which the
word "}Tonkeyn was written in large
letters, in the cap of professor AGAINST
whom he had a spite, told the joke to
all his chums.
The next day the professor said to
the class, in bland and polite tones:
''Gentlemen, have to thank one of
your number for the courtesy oi drop
ping his card in my cap yesterday"
That student was called Monkey

NOTES FROM HEBRON ACADEMY,

HEBRON ACADEMY, May 10, 1896.
We are at the halfway house" Of the
terms work. Five weeks more OF study,
then comes commencement week, when
TWENTY-FIVE members Of this institution
will receive the honors earned, and He
bron Academy will have become part
Of their past.
The graduating class Of '96 IL regarded
as fully equal to any preceding class 10
ability aud scholarly attachments. Ok
ford County furnishes ten OF the TWEEN
ty-two. The towns of Oxford and Buck
field have each an equal number In the
class, three, Mechanic Falls and Ray
mond have each two. Six OF the class
will graduate with q college fit. A pen
picture Of the senior class may be offered
to your columns at u future time.
OF about l60 pupils OF last term about
sixty come from Oxford County. The
town of Hebron, rs would be expected,
furnishes the greatest number, seven
teen, but not more than thirteen are
native residents. Portland gives the
next highest number, ten; Buckfield
aud Paris each have six; Boston and
Turner each five; Rumford and Oxford
each four.
We have just got through the season
for tests. One OF the students Ia algebra
was put to the test of his knowledge Of
mathematics In novel way the other
day. He was peremptorily ordered by
his fathers hired man to take his axe
and help on the fences. Having GER
tain amount Of work to do for his after
moons labor, he took his algebraic state
ment on paper and pencil into the
woods with him. When his co-laborcr
stopped to light his pipe he changed to
algebra. After watching him work
with the mixed symbols Of figures and
letters the young man said ~ have never
found any one yet that could tell me, so
