OF those who "he most sounde" There
is a record of the use of this implement
upon Mr.. Tomkins, who was sleeping
comfortably in the corner of his pew
when Allen thrust his staff behind
Dame Ballard to give him a grieyous
prick upon the hand, whereupon Mr.
Tomkins did spring much above the
floor and with terrible force did strike
his head against the wall and also to
the great wonder Of all 'prophanelle'
exclaim in loud voice 'Buss the wood

woodchuck had seized him and bit
his hand"

-'04-
Der Mineral Points long hills and steep,
The sun had cast his ray.
1t was September's baImy morn;
The fair was oer the grounds forlorn;
The wind alone had laughed to scorn
The quietness of the day.
Then, through the sweet and wholesome air,
There came that sound to some so fair
The school bells ringing peal.
The bell that summoned to freshman year
A class to be through their career,
The class of nineteen four
But why here speak of freshman toll,
Except to say. through ceaseless mol.
This worthy class prevailed
Against algebras mighty sum-
Their lightning strength they piled as one.
And. till this sturdy task was done,
Their pencils constant flew.
Geography's broad fields were passed;
The year was nearing now the last
Yet zeal within them burned,
Examination day had Gomez
They set to work as though 'twere fun.
SO vigorously they'd learned,
This last staunch test of shame or fame
Had added to the freshman brain,
And also to their growing name,
For Sophomores now were they.
And quick, decisiyely they stepped,
Their rigid lines of ygor kept,
Nor turned to look where others slept,
But bravely kept their way.
And when the SHOWS began to run,
And O2's ever Frightening sun
Had crossed the Rubieon.
1t was a declaration true,
And every worthy Sophomore knew
His sophomore work was done.
And when school days again had neared,
The Sophomores of naught-two appeared
As Juniors of naught-three,
There seemed a magic spell around
To give their dauntless class renown
Aui 4aell with silence, not with sound.
The dread geometry.
But why here all my knowledge bend
70 tell this story to the end.
When it has just begun
Just come with me on Visions car,
And view the Seniors as they are,
And then our journeys zone.
All hail the Seniors Of '0i,
As high on honor's wings they soar
Oh. will these never cease!
Not till they meet the Governor,
And are the objects of his fear
As learned critics worthy peer
In Shakespeare's masterpiece.
In English Literature today,
The best in this broad state are they,
SO doth high school inspectors say;
And who but they should knowl
Then judge the future by the past,
And see where they will stand at last;

NEW DIVORCE CANON ADOPTED
HOUSE OF DEPUTIES PASSES A
Liberal MEASURE.

House OF Bishops OF the Episcopal Conven.
ton Likely to Conour-Canon Permits
the Remarriage OF Innocent Divorced
Persons Under Certain Conditions.
BosToN, Oct. 20.-By an overwhelming
maj ority the compromise report OF the com
mittee on canons in relation to the question
OF marriage and divorce was adopted by
the House Of Deputies OF the Episcopal
General Convention to-day. II the House
OF Bishops concur, which is more than
probable, the question will be settled for
at least three years.
The new canon Is far less rigorous than
that adopted by the House OF Bishops.
which was turned down by the House OF
Deputies, in that 1t provides for the re-
marriage Of the innocent party In divorce
for the cause Of adultery, just as the present
canon does. 1t adds to the present canon.
however, clauses STIMULATING that at least
one year must elapse before marriage Is
asked for, that satisfactory proof Of limo
cenoe in the shape Of court records must
be submitted, and that after the Bishop has
granted permission to perform the cere-
mony the minister may refuse to perform
it without subjeoting himself to any censure
or discipline.
There are several other minor amend
ments to the present canon having refer
enoe to the administration Of the sacra-
ments, the presence Of witnesses and the
recording of the marriage
The Rev. George M. Fske Of Providence.
the dissenting member OF the committee
supported the rigid canon. When DR..
Fiske said that the house already had
morally adopted the canon, there were
cries Of MOL mol from the floor. DR..
MoKim therefore took occasion to remind
DR.. Fiske, who said hs never had mar
ried divorced person in his life. that DR.,
Fiske had no right to imply that the house
was morally in favor OF the change, and
the Rhode Island deputy withdrew the
remark.
John Y. Hicks Of Arkansas criticised the
new canon on the ground that 1t came very
near to the dispensation issued by the
Roman Catholic Church, to which he said
1t was a first cousin. To this statement
there were murmurs Of disapproval from
all over the house. He thought the oon-
ditions Of the canon came dangerously
near the line, however.
