High School Sentinel Contains Inter
esttng Matter.
The High School Sentinel for Decem-
Der was issued yesterday. It is a
bright number, rejecting great credit
on the young men who got it out. 1t
is full of news relating to doings of
high school students both in and out
Of school. There are also a number
Of hits in the column devoted to that
purpose, which must be we'll appreci-
ated by students who have a thorough
understanding of the meaning, which
may be slightly yelled to outsiders
on the editorial page the practice of
athletes wearing high school suits with
out earning them by excellence of COM
petition, is frowned upon. The article
is: Several young men have been train
ing at the Y. N. c. A, m high school
running suits such as the team wore
in the games at Boston last March.
Although they are members of the
high school, they have not earned their
suits as they have never represented
the school on the track.
A few years ago the high school
spirit was such as to condemn the pub
lie use of its colors. Manager Amidon
OF the track team intends to secure a
monogram to place upon the sweaters
of those who make the team, since it
will be but a small honor to wear a
high school running suit.
The or k eleven of the school re-
ceives a praiseworthy tribute for it's
excellent showing against the heavy
Worcester academy eleven, from
member of the classical high school,
who sings its glories in verse. The
famous poem of Tennyson was evil
styles his comment on the work of the
high school team, THE plunge of the
light eleven" It is as follows:
Half rod! Half a rod Half a rod!
Onward
Into the deadly fray rushed the eleven.
Half foot! Half yard! Half a rod!
Onward
'Gainst their opponents plunge the
eleven.
Round the end! Round the end! Round
the end! Forward!
Goal from the field from a place-kick
by full back!

Everywhere onward, but nowhere they
go back!

Keep fresh their memory, although
defeated.

FARMERS ARE ANGRY.
Stockholders of the Milk
Association Utter
Harsh Words.

The stockholders Of the New Eng
land Milk Producers union met in
Horticultural hall yesterday morning,
and the 100 or more farmers who had
paid 81 for the privilege Of holding just
such meetings were rather angry, and
prior to the Gaining of the meeting to
order, groups discussed the affairs Of
the union, and were not chary about
calling the whole thing swindle.
President Orlando E. Patch Of Con-
cord, and Treasurer H. o. HadIey OF
/ Temple, y. H.. were held responsible
for the loss the farmers have expe-
rienced in the low price Of milk. and
they were charged with dishonesty by
many Of those present. 1t was claimed
I that Mr.. Patch had induced many of
the farmers to become stockholders,
knowing that they would receive no
return for the money invested. The
promoter Of the scheme, NJ ]. Briggs
Of New York, was declared worse than
Miller IF the Franklin syndicate, by
the irate farmers at the meeting.
c. d. Sage was reelected chairman
and F. 7. Sivert Of Groton secretary. A
report Of the investigation committee
was read, showing that very little had
been done, owing TO the difficulty of
getting any satisfactory information
from the president or treasurer or any
OF the directors Immediately connScted
with the syndicate. Several resolutions
aiming at Strengthening matters were
offered.
George E. Whiting Of the D. Whit
ing company, milk contractors of Bos-
ton, was present at the meeting and
advised the men against doing any
thing about the present price of milk.
as the price is always regulated by the
demand. The meeting was carried on
into the afternoon, but the only action
taken was the resolution providing for
legal action and the reorganization Of
the company, which reads as follows:
Whereas, the president and directors
Of the n. z. NJ. P. & c. obtained their
ceitful methods, and in their official
capacity have persistently ignored the
interests of the stockholders, and
Whereas, certain large sums Of
money have been paid from the treas
ury in a secret and questionable man
ner without any benefit to the stock
holders, and
Whereas, said directors utterly re-
fuse to give any information or con-
suit the interests of the stockholders;
Resolved, that this meeting hereby
directs its committee to take all neces-
sary steps to carry out the aims and
purposes for which the company was
organized.
Resolved. that said committee shall
request said directors to call a legal
meeting Of the stockholders and by res
ignatisn or otherwise permit a fair
election of directors
Resolved, that in event of their re-
fusal to account for their proceedings
or call said meeting said commit
tee is authorized to bring suit against
said directors in the name Of the
stockholders, for conspiracy, and to
protect the money in the treasury and

ETERNAL LOVE.

Immortal love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers,
NO dead fact stranded on the shore
OF the oblivious years;
: A: present help is he;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
The healing of his seamless dress
Is by our bed of pain,
We touch him in life's throng and nress
And we are whole again.
o Lord and Master Of us all! -
Whate'er our name or sign
we own thy sway, we hear thy call
we test our lives by thine.
The letter fails, the systems fall,
And every symbol wanes;
The spirit over-brooding all,
Eternal love, remains

THE WISDOM OF GEESE.

Somebody who is indignant that the name
OF the goose should be a synonym for folly
mas collected stories from all quarters to IL
lustrate the true wisdom and dignity of geese
There are many varieties of wild geese and
whether they are all equally nice and dig
mined the book does not say. Still it is true
that the bird is not coward and does not
hesitate to attack birds much larger than
himself. The domestic goose is too well
knLWn to need a description of his person or
hablts and most of the stories of this his
torlan or geese are so old that you would
hardly care to recall them here.
one or two stories seem somewhat newer
In Richmond Park, in England, where many
geese are kept. the nests of the setting geese
were often destroyed by water rats. After
consideration of the matter, the geese began
TO build nests up in the trees instead of
upon the: ground. There they Matched out
their families and brought their children-not
up, but down carefully to the ground one
by one-under their wings. Such intelligence
as this is enough to redeem the name of the
goose forever.
Inc goose is certainly a dignified bird in
appearance. Whatever the haste of his gait
even when driven along he never loses his
expression of grandeur and Importance. It
coulC not have been goose who suggested
that he was silly. If you ever looked a
goose firmly in the eye you would know
that he was much too proud to imagine such
tbing.-Exchange.
