The last day OF the Elks Second
Annual Jubilee carnival has been
marked by no abatement in the fun
and frolic, and there are hundreds Of
visitors here, about 1900 coming
from Southern Illinois on the John
s Hopkins and Dick Fowler. The
weather during the entire week has
been all that could be desired, and
the attendance has been most satisfao-
tory. IL is certain that the Elks will
clear over $4,000 from the carnival.
Even il there were but few admissions
today, the financial success Of the
carnival would be assured.
The country store alone has melted
an average Of $500 a day, which is
very gratifying. II has proven a pop
ular as well as profitable feature, and
has afforded the people a great deal Of
pleasure.

A Humble Beginning.

NJ. Jules Cambon, the French am.
bassador at Washington, whose name
came prominently before the public In
tho peace negotiations between Amer
lea and Spain, received his first real
start up the ladder Of promotion
through the seizure Of his COW. 1t
was in the latter part of the reign Of
Napoleon III. NJ. Cambon had always
been a republican and edited a Paris
paper. Napoleon levied a tax which
republicans resented and NJ. Cambon
vtlgmatized 1t as Illegal. When the
collector came to him the future am.
bassador refused to pay and hid such
few valuables AS he possessed, But
be kept the COW. which he couldn't
hide, and the officials seized and sold
Il to cover the tax. The republicans
made a great fuss about II and NJ.
Cambon became a popular hero. A
subscription was raised and another
cow purchased for him. When the EN-.
plre fell NJ. Cambon had bis oppor.
tunity; he was still popular, owing to
the seizure Of the COW, and he OBJ
tanned advancement at the hands Of
| The new rulers.

Colby Football Practice.

Almost any old grad would have
| been pleased had he been up on the
| college field. yesterday afternoon, and
watched the football squad pile up
and fall all over itself. There We're
| two full elevens out, remarkable
thing for Colby on the second day Of
| the term. and there was some good
| lineup practice. another remarkable
thing for the second day. Another en-
couraging thing was the fact that the
| boys were asking Manager Stearfs
which team he was going to put up
| against Vassalboro. today. There real
| ly isn't any first or second eleven as
vet as the men are being tried in
various positions on both sides with
no attempt as yet to pick the best
| players from the squad.
Another encouraging feature of the
practice was the spirit shown by the
men. The last runs made were the
| fiercest and hardest of the practice
| and the squad seemed anxious for
| more when d.. F'rew said enough. 1t
| was rough work, give and take with
| out mercy, and every man seemed to
have the fighting spirit in him and
to be doing his level best to hold
up his END. What was called the first
team had little advantage and could
| gain a little more ground perhaps than
the other, but the second team pocket
| ed a good bit of turf itself and made
! the other team work.
The first game of the season for
| the team will be with the North Vas
salbOro Athletic team at $50 this af-
| ternoon. This team was defeated by
| Coburn, but showed up strong and will
probably be capable Of giving Colby
| quite a rub, today.
All of the men will probably be given
a trial in the game in order to show
what they can do and the result will
] be interesting.

do" and also to become acquainted with
the members of the entering class,
while the latter have the opportunity
of getting acquainted with each other.
The faculty and the upper classes.
They are most informal, with very
little or no ice TO break. and are an

and very much enjoyed.
A short program was rendered, last
evening. to add to the pleasure. The
