The many friends of Elmer Hewett
were much panied to learn of his sud-
den demise, Monday, July 20. of apo
plexy. Mr.. Hewett had retired in his
usual good health on the night before.
Members of the family heard him up
about the house at A. NJ, his mother
asking him If he was i'll and he replied
that he was not. At A. NJ, his sister
heard him breathing heavily, and going
to his room found him unconscious and
failed to arouse him. Help also proved
of no avail, Mr.. Hewett dying in about
two hours. Elmer Hewett was an ex-
emplary young man, possessed of ster-
ling qualities and finely educated, fol-
lowing the profession of teaching for
several years. He was also graduate
of the Boston City Hospital training
school for nurses. the profession of
which he had followed since his grad
uation in December, 1902. During the
Spanish war he enlisted and went
South as a member of Co.F. 1st Maine
Infantry. Dying at the early age of
% years, his death seems most untime-
Ily. Besides large circle of friends.

scenery simply magnificent.
Yes they Chorused. but where are
the signs telling you what kind of medi-

perceiving that the crowning glory of
the panorama was missing, he fell into
gloomy silence.
Newton was explaining to his friends
the law of graVitation.

saw the apple drop
Are you sure" they inquired derisivc-

Angered by their sarcasm, he proceeded
to take a fall out of them.
George III was worrying about the
apple and the dumping.

Deliberation upon this new problem,
however, made matters worse, and the

For the first time the summit of Mt;
Mckinley in Alaska has been pressed
by human foot. This mountain, which
towers 20, AGA feet above sea level, Is the
loftIest In North America. and though
higher peaks have been climbed in the
Andes and the Himalayas, its ascension
is a most difficult and hazardous under
taking. Recently DIR. Cook of Brook
lyn, q well known traveller, started for
Alaska to climb Mt. Mckinley. but now
the news comes that before his arrival
the feat has been accomplished. The
first man to reach the summit was
Judge Wickersham Of the United States
circuit court of Alaska and it is graft
flying to know that good american
performed the feat.

The announcement that ap enterpris-
ing Yankee has patented pork-and-
bean tabloid, a dozen of which will
furnish man with sufficient food for
a week. is a reminder that the tabloid
idea in food is likely to be one of the
fruits of this hurry-up age which MAS
time for nothing but the making OF
money.@.rhe compressed food scheme
is nothing new, but the pork-and-bean
tabloid is about the limit. Perhaps it's
announcement is premature or at least
somewhat exaggerated. We hope it is.
The joys of eating good things are not
lightly to be given up. The7only excuse
for the food tabloid is that the man who
invented it had been compelled to sit at
a three-hour. recourse dinner with a
bore at his elbow. Between such san
experience and a tabloid dinner which
is the size of peanut Apdean be eaten:
as easily, most smen; wilf prefer sths.

Here is a college yell that is a yell.
They do not do things by halves down
in Texas, and the boys of the state Uni
versity have evolved a slogan which
makes the educational institutions of
the effete East seem more effete than
ever. One noteworthy feature of this
yell is that it is not likely tobe given
more than once during any athletic
contest. This is the how of 1t:

ceived unusual attention from one OF
the hotel proprietors. The waitress
while passing the soup accidentally
spilled some on the Bath ladys dress.
The fact was Immediately reported to
the proprietor by the waitress and the
lady was given a room and the dress
sent out to be cleansed and on leaving
the lady was instructed to notify the
proprietor as to the condition of the
dress on her arrival home. If the stain
showed she was requested to forward
a bill and the dress would be replaced
with a new one. This is rather a re-
markable proposition to be made by a
summer resort hotel man.
