ia 1HE United Terrors will come to order
at once" said Jed Taylor the "chief
terror" as we termed our leader.
MEyANI We were not band of outlaws,
- but a company of six boys, all
chums and school-fellows at Grand
Beach Seminary.
We were not bad at heart not one of us,

WINGED that jolly time, with lesson half
learned as the result, was better than no frolic
and lesson well learned.
l can distinctly remember how Jed Taylor
looked as he sat on stump making futile
attempts to dispatch vagrant mosquito and
called the United Terrors to business.
Phil Stuart was the clubs "fat man" He
philosophically chewed straw as he reclined
in the shade Of cedar hedge and looked quiz

in various attitudes on the grass around the
stump.
The association had assembled on the noon
of that day to concoct plan of vengeance
against DR.; Small, the principal of the semi

routed us in the midst of noctural spread
on the previous night.
The doctor was small in stature as well as
in name, but his brain was exceedingly active
in devising schemes for keeping the students
plans of evildoers. His sharp eyes and keen
perceptive powers had ferreted out more than
one Of our seemingly well-laid plans
On this occasion we were doubly deter
mined to get the better of him in some practi-
cal joke.

"Go ahead, Phil; give it to us!" we cho-

an ancient four-wheeled chaise, patterned
presumably after some antediluvian vehicle,

There Is more trouble ahead for Npr-
mont liquor dealers under the new
amendments to the license law, adopted
10y the last Legislature. One of these
defines the standard of purity of liquors
and makes it the same as described in
the United States Pharmacop~ia, the
authority on all drugs and medicines.
The standard thus fixed is very much
higher than required by tine Uuited
States government. There is a fine of
500 for every sale of liquors not up to
the new standard.-Burlington Clipper.
