Every effort was made by the young
ladies and others to stop the horse,
but it was impossible and at the cor
ner by Mrs. Tabor's boarding house
the surrey was completely overturn-
ed throwing the young ladies out
and which loosed the frightened
horse from the vehicle
Miss Ethel Banner was not injured
but Miss Josie Rowe was consider
ably stunned and her face bruised
She was assisted TO Mrs. TabOr's and
physician called who stated that
there we're not injuries other than
the above mentioned

row escape from serious injury and
which no doubt is largely due to
their presence Of mind and great
strength shown in handling the

COLBY ALUMNI IN BOSTON.
The Twenty-FOurth Annual Reuni,

The Twenty Fourth Annual Reunion,
BosToN, Feb. "a. The occasion of the
Oath annual reunion and dinner of the Bos-
ton Alumni of Colby college, Watervile,
Me-, was made notable tonight by the
presence of the next oldest living graduate
OF the institution, William Mathews, '35, a
former professor at the college and we'll
known literary man.
Seventy-fve alumni were present at the
dinner, which was held at the American
house, G. l. Peavey, '65, the president, pre-
siding.
Pres. Charles L. White of Colby was the
guest of honor and made the principal
speech. Speaking of the increase in this
years class and the preponderance of
women, he predicted that it would be but
short time before the increase of women
and the decrease Of men students would be
so marked that men would seek other col
legeS for an education and different environ
mentS.
at was just such a situation that con-
fronted the trustees" President White said,
'and resulted in the decision that, owing to
the large classes, a division would have to
be made. And why not along the lines of
sex?
sour cherished hope will be put to the
test at our next commencement in June.
'Out of the 243 names in the catalog there
are but four children of Colby men.
''Perhaps Colby alumni are not having as
many OH 90 eiiCJ Ou6It W. nave We
and wish had five more.'
After telling of a Colby man who did not
believe in coeducation, he said "The rea-
son they do not send their children is be-
cause they fancy it is the same old Colby
of 30 years ago."
President White pointed with pride to the
students working their way through college
and predicted that such men are bound to
make their mark in life.
Other speakers were Hon. Leslie c. Cor
nish, rs, Prof. William Matthews, LID.
and P. s. Small, '6S.
A quartet from Colby sang and vocal and
instrumental music was given under the di-
rection of F. I. Depner.
The election of officers resulted as follows ::
J; E: Burke 80, President; W. c: Crawford,
First Vice President; J. Colby Bassett '95,

THE BEAUTIES oE A RooT-FENcE.

| am attracted by fence made of
white pine roots. There is, or rather
was, one for it has been tipped into the
gutter this year. on the road to Hub
bard's Bridge which | Can remember
for more than twenty years 1t is al
most as indestructibIe as wall, ard
certainly requires fewer repairs. 1t is
light, white, and dry withal, and its
fantastic forms are agreeable to my eye.
One would not have believed that any
trees had such snarled and gnarled
roots. In some instances you have a
coarse network of roots as they inter
laced on the surface, perhaps, of a
swamp, which, set on its edge, really
looks like fence, with its paling cross
ing at various angles and root repeat
eddy growing into root,-a rare phenom-
enon above ground,-so as to leave
open spaces, square and diamond-shap-
ed and triangular, quite like a length
of fence. 1t is remarkable how white
and clean these roots are, and that no
lichens or very few grow on them; so
free from decay are they. The different
branches of the roots continually grow
into one another, so as to make gro
tesque figures, sometimes rude harps
whose resonant strings of roots give a
sort of musical sound when struck,
such as the earth spirit might play on.
Sometimes the roots are of delicate
wine color here and there, an evening
tint. No line of fence could be too
long for me to study each individual
stump. Rocks would have been cover
ed with lichens by this time Perhaps
they are grown into one another that
they may stand more iirmly.-Thoreau' S
