TOWNSHEND.
Banquet rendered Seniors by Glass OF
1901.


One of the pleasantest features of the
social life Of Leland and Gray seminary
this term was a banquet rendered the SEN
iors by the class Of 1901. The 1900's we're
received in one of the recitation rooms
which had been very prettily transformed
into reception room by means of easy
chairs, centre tables, the piano, bouquet,
lamps, art square, etc Cut flowers and
autumn leaves we're in profusion. The
prettiest scene of all was the chapel, which
served as a dining-hsll The room was
very tastefully decorated with autumn
leaves and flowers and at one end of the
hall was a pretty floral design with the
words 1901 to 1900" The tables we're
set in the form of the letter T and we're
very prettily decorated with flowers, using
only the senior colors, pink and green.
The menu was as follows:
Lobster Salad Devined Eggs,
Chicken S''q Celery TA'' D'''f Pickles S0a tongue
Marble Cake, Cocoanut Cake, Chocolate Cake,
p.n Angel Cake, Cocoa Ice Cream edna,.s
ToAsrs --Memory-"Fond memory brings the
light OF other days around me-" L. Edgecomb
when the Bell Rngs-"what world Of merri-
ment Il melody foretells" Edith Clarke.
Glass Of i901-"Our greatest glory consists, not
in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
Mabel Landman.
Admiral Dewey -"some are born great, some
achieve greatness" Leon Thompson.
Prophetic Visions-"The best guesser the best
prophet" Mabel Sage.
Toast Master: Frank Underwood
The menu cards were artistically deco
rated by Mrs. L. b. Curtis, the art teacher,
with the "daisy and forget-me-nOt," the
class flowers.
The Misses Starr, Dale, Taft
and Johnson-were from the 1902 class
and were daintily dressed in white. Bick-
ford, 1902, was errand boy.
Altogether 1t was the pleasantest ban
quet ever rendered any senior class at Lee
land and Gray, and will long be remem-
bered by teachers and members of both
classes. The 1901 class have learned the
true art of hospitality.

No one will ever know exactly how much gold
was taken from the Klondike fields the past
season. The estimate ranges from S10,O 900 to
se5, 900. Since the English government inn
posed a royalty Of 10 per cent, the miners have
adopted all sorts of ruses TO evade the law. 1t is
rather difficult operation to dodge taxes, but it
is more difficult still to dodge bad cold and the
grip at this time of year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the best medicine
to take il Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This
remedy builds up the system. Besides regulating
digestion, it overcomes constipation in a per
fectly natural way. 1t is good for the kidneys
and liver, too, stimulating each of these organs
into the proper performance of their functions.
Nothing is 80 good for malaria.
