There has been many social and
convivial gatherings Of teachers and
students here during the last few
years, but it Is safe to say that none
of them have exceeded in pleasure the
annual reception and banquet Of the
South Canon Alumni Association at
the Hotel Denton last night. The af-
fair was planned upon an elaborate
scale and was carried out without a
hitch. or an interruption, of any kind;
much OF its unusual success being
Miss Genevieve Tripp and Mrs. Lii
lian Colgate, president and secretary
respectively OF the association, and to
the genial hospitality Of Mr.. Denton
and his assistants at the hotel.
The reception was held in the hotel
parlors from 7:3O till O'Clock with
Miss Tripp and Miss Humphrey, the
latter representing the high school
faculty, in the receiving line. Never
did the parlors ot the Hotel Denton
look prettier, anil never did they con-
tain q more viva ciocs company OF peo-
pie than they did last night. There
was a profusion Of cut flowers. potted
and foliage plants everywhere. with
blue and white, the class colors, pre-
dominating in the decorative scheme.
The banquet ball had been trans
formed by q committee from the as
sociation, aided by Mr.. Denton. into
a scene of arboreal beauty by a gen.
erous use OF ferns, roses and orna-
mental growths; the attractiveness ri
the picture being heightened by tes-
toons of bloom and a colorful display
of high school and college penants- On
the walls of the banquet room we're
shown the flags AM penants OF no
fewer than e:gh-s, IN colleges and uni
versities at which members of the
association had matriculated as stu
dents since their graduation here.
The banquet. which was one Of the
best efforts Of the Hotel Denton, was
served in six courses and was a trib-
ute to the presiding genius Of its
kitchen and to the service OF its din
ing room. The menu was:
Bouillon en- Cups
Sliced Tomatoes on Lettuce
Fillets OF Beef
Potatoe CroQuettes, Mushroom Sauce

down the barriers and drag the over
turned vehicle and Miss Baker after
him. injuring all three.
Miss Baken was terribly cut and

Rushing the Canal.

Every two minutes a ton Of coal is
burned up at Panama, every minute
twelve carloads of rock and gravel
are torn from the earth, every hour
1866 pounds of dynamite are ex-
ploded in mountain and jungle, every
minute 1924 is spent for labor!
One hundred and t~hirty-two loco
motives are %shrieking and creaking
in the nine-mile ribbon of the Guile
bra cut-1O,0OO shirtless men are
sweating and swearing - 1850 fat
cars a:e running and grumbling!
One hundred and six miles Of track
split the gorge-a dozen sets of rails,
in a width of 200 and 800 feet, are
hung in tiers one above the other.
Sixty-seven steam shovels are plung-
ing twenty-ton, scoops into the earth
two and three times every. minute.
Over 100000 cubic yards of earth
are being wrested from the rainbow
strata of soil every thirty days.
And on the two sides of the inferno
squat the twin peaks of Gold and
Snow hills like a couple of apples
which a schoolboy has nearly bitten
through.
Roughly, a hole measuring 81
$4,000 cubic yards must yet be
bored in the Panama clay to make
the canal a reality. When the
French were routed 81,500,000 cubic
yards had been e%Xcavated. The
Americans have added 100000 Gu
bic yards to this total.
Picture a chasm measuring 125
feet in every direction, in which
could be buried twenty-five ordinary
three-story houses forty feet in
height, in width and length. The
equivalent of such a chasm Is bored
every day along the course of the
Panama Canal - the excavation
amounting to nearly 100000 cubic
feet daily.-From an Article in Put.

POLICE CATCH z BABY FOXES.
They Had Been Living High on Thefts
From Boston Suburbs.


Poultry owners in Auburndale,
Weston and adjacent places will feel
more secure because Of the latest cap
ture made by the Metropolitan Park
police at Riverside. Seven baby
foxes have been taken from a den on
the Newton side of the Charles River
below Norumbega Park.
The cubs, which are about half
grown, are confined in a large box in
the basement Of the station. Several
weeks ago a patrolman saw an old
fox running along the bank of the
river, and after some difficulty dis
covered the entrance to the burrow.
Saturday a squad of officers, armed
with shovels and a gun, found four
other entrances to the den. They
commenced digging in a spot as near
the centre as possible, leaving a man
on guard at each hole. One tiny fox
made a dash for liberty, but was
caught and Immediately made friends
with his captor. When the den was
finally opened the remaining six were
huddled in one corner.
The place was Uttered with feath-
ers, fish bones and other evidences of
the energy with which the mother
fox must have hunted to feed her
large family. The body of a muskrat
formed part of the contents of the
larder. It is thought that the cubs
will be sent to the Zoo on the Middle
sex Fells reservation. The mother
fox has not been caught. - Boston

Tea Table Etiquette.

Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated in the days of that hard
ened and shameless tea drinker," DR..
Johnson, when many people thought
nothing of drinking ten or twelve
CUPS at a sitting. 1t was considered
proper for the cups and saucers OF a
party of tea drinkers to be all passed
up to the hostess in one batch when
replenishment was considered neces-
sary, and in order that each person
might be sure Of getting back the
right cup the teaspoons were num-
bered.
When the cups were passed up
those who did not require any more
were supposed to place the spoon IN
the cup. This writer remembers a
very ancient dame teaching a small
boy to place his spoon in his cup al
ter the first cup had been emptied.
He wondered for the reason. Now
he knows that tea was once very eS'
pensive and little boys were not ex-
pected to ask gain.-London Chron-
icle.

over from Bog Holler to look around
an he got his eye on Medory, tn
youngest Hausenger gal. She looked
good to him from tn fust, an they
made a mighty fine lookin' couple.
Bud was big ez a boss an Medory

He driv her home from singin' school

Bud was a scrapper, all right, but he
wanted to- git in good with tn fam

lone night Medory got a spell like
all gals does when they git shore that

Bud shameful all evenin'. He went
in tn parlor with her to try to make
up, but she only treated him worse'n
ever.
HE wasn't felin' right cheerful
when he came out, an when he found
his wheels tied together with a OK
chain he lost his temper in a minute.
Yes, sir, he got on tn warpath in

PREPARING FOR A S

If you're waking, call me early, call ne
early, mother dear,
For tomorrow 1 start packing, as l do
this time each year.
I am going for vacation up where mountain
streamlets run
And I'll need a rest, dear mother, long be-
fore my packing's done!
1 must fold my shirt waists, mother; there
are twenty-three, | think,
And my lingerie needs ribbons-l shall run
it all with pink;
Then the skirts must not be crumpled and
the hats must not be crushed,
And my couture puffs, dear mother, must
be all unrolled and brushed.
Then my slippers need new boxes and my
silk embroidered hose
Must be laid out lengthwise, mother, in the
neatest kind of rows.
And my sheath and evening dresses and my
jewels ought to be
In the safest trunk, dear mother; 80, at
least, it seems to me.
Seven parasols, I fancy, will be quite
enough to do,
And a dozen three.piece costumes really
ought to see me through.
I shall wear my cherry basket and an auto
mobile veil,
And the yellow Rajah empire with the
stunning ~fan-shaped trail
If you're waking, call me early, call me
early, mother dear,
For there's such a lot Of packing now my
fortnight's grace is here.
But it must be done, dear mother, ere ]
gain the rest I seek
Where? just going to the mountains;
Wild Cat Cottage. Six a week!
