yeod remembrance of their teachers.
The supper was held in the dining
hall, which was very prettily decorated.
The table had the torn of Il cross and
flowers were in abundance.
The supper itself was the best that
could be ordered, too heavy for lunch
and little too light for " dinner. 1t
was just right.
After very delightful hour appcas-
ing our appetite Mr.. lIollister, as toast-
master rose and tried to make the COM
ing speakers feel at ease by telling them
how in after years they would look back
upon the event us one of the best in their
school life. The dish of toast that fol-
lowed is given below briefly:

Practical Aims.
On occasions like this it is usual to
impress upon young people the import
ance of high ideals. They are told to
aim high, to watch the rainbow OF
promise. to seek its treasures of gold,
to .hitch their wagon to star" and the
like. These admonitions have their
use. They are sometimes the source OF
;nsnirotion and effort that have tor'la-

NEW TOLL. RATES

Except From the won,en.FoIks = No
Concerted Movement Has Appeared.
The new toll rates worked smoothly
at both the bridges yesterday, and the
bridge officials last night were well
satisfied with the result of the first
day under the new regime. In but few
cases was any difficulty encountered,
all the passengers stepping briskly to.
the toll house window and conforming
to the regulations.
Superintendent Lawson last night
stated that the Islanders were begin
ming to see that the new rates were
cheaper In the long run to the man or
the household, but, of course, they
are a tax on the ONE folks, who
formerly went free. For three months
n ticket costs the Island citizen 81. This
ticket carries over all his family ex-
cepting those ver sixteen years Of age.
But, said Mr.. Lawson, II Is much
cheaper for the Island resident who
paid n cent n trip before. The CON-
pany gets an increased revenue out OF
the transient trade.
1--WE sold n good many tickets to-
day" said Mr.. Lawson, "and will sell
more tomorrow. I am sure the Island
people will come to appreciate the new
rates, the objection being confined to
the women.
To-day we sold the tickets, good Jun
til July l. for 81 80. after July l we will
sell quarterly tickets. We are charging
proportionate rates. For Instance, 10

vantage of our patrons. Tuesdaywe will

Just had published a patriotic song that
will add additional laurels to his recog-
nized ability as a song writer. 1t Is en-
titled The Stars and Stripes That I
Love-" and its inspiring sentiment and
catchy melody insure for It ranking
place among our national songs. Fur
Their than that, 1.-THE Stars and Stripes
That I Love possesses such a swinging,
tuneful rhythm that ere long the boys
will be whistling it on the streets-a
sure sign that a song has caught on.
It Is written In an easy key. suited to
the average voice, and its reception by
critics has been flattering to the author.
The title page Is q work Of art, the eagle,
shield and the stars and stripes being
combined In happy union. Mr.. Clemans
has written several catchy songs, but
with his latest he has caught the spirit
of the times. The song should find n
ready sale, and will no doubt soon adorn
many concert programmes.
