AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE GIVES
18TH ASSEMBLY SWELL SPREAD
with all they wanted.

with all they wanted.
The day before we cooked the po-
tatoes and stuffed them 80 that day
we rebaked them just delicate
brown and they were fine. Made 400
sandwiches. The morning before ev-
cry dish had to be washed and it took
us about three hours-one woman a
washing and four girls drying them.
1t was 1890 when we began serving
and by o'clock everything was
cleaned up, dishes washed and every
thing in its place. We had to set
tables in the sewing room and one in
the library. and Of course they all
had to be taken out The visitors
would hardly believe 1t but they were
there and could see.
Miss Rausch said she was so proud
of her girls. they did so well and l
tell you it means something for her to
say thing like that for she is SO very
particular. You should have heard
the speakers in chapel brag us up. l
believe since yesterday the saying is
true tuc way " a Aloh hSaiN 10
through his stomach" Ha! ha.
The Lieut.. Governor said he'd
rather see a girl that could get meal
that she could we'll be proud OF than
anything else he knew. Really every
thing just went off great.
I made my first appearance before
the faculty as one OF the committee
from the student body Monday. We
had a meeting with all the faculty
and l never saw the like. they were
SO pleased with the movement they
would just give US anything and let
US boss them around any old way.
Well we could have received this part
of the state l believe II We had asked
for It. On the board was written
We'll all hang together. OF we'll all
hank separately" and 1t was SO ap-
propriate. and needless to say We all
hung together. eve students had to
pay for the special train $3.50. then

Mr.. and Mrs.. H. L. Weber return
Cd to their home at Winona. Illinois.
. few days ago after three weeks
visit here as the guests Of DR.. and
Mrs. R. e. Holmes and other relatives.
It was Mr.. and Mrs. Webber's first
trip to this portion of Colorado and
they enjoyed every minute OF their
sonjourn here. They picnicked at the
top OF the Royal Gorge. walked up to
the new waterworks intake, climbed
to the summit of Fremont's peak and
saw about everything in the way OF
natural secenry that was worth their
attention. They will halt in Denver for
a short time before proceeding to Ill
inois.
What One Woman Thinks.
That it Is a shame to use College
avenue as dumping ground, and an
insult to the Civic Improvement Lea
que to ignore the signs Of mo Dump
ing allowed" Not only are they ig-
nored but special pains was taken to
dump a large wagon load under one
of the signs. Who ever the person or
pearsons may be. they are not good
citizens. and should be fined for de-
facing a driveway. We East Canonites
have been very proud OF it. since the
League took hold OF II.
sincerely hope that measures will
be taken to find out the guilty parties
and to see that the avenue and the
League are treated with respect.

The students OF the Agricultural
college at Ft. Collins are bunch OF
hustlers The state legislature seemed
to be a little unfriendly towards the
college, at any rate it didn't seem dis
posed to give up as large an appro-
priation as was needed. so the stu
dents took the matter in hand. They
invited the legislature up and gave
them fine entertainment. The sena-
tors and representatives were much
pleased with the affair and the col
lege made many friends by the efforts
OF the students.
The girls took charge Of the lunch
con and showed what the students
In domestic science could do.
Some Canon City girls are in the
college and took part. These are Nell
lie Suers, Margaret Twltchell. Ber-
nice Richards. Mary Snow. Emma
QuInlan and Geneva Huntoon.
In writing home about the affair
Miss Nellie Stiers has made some
very interesting comments and a por-
ton OF her letter is here reproduced:
Fl. Collins, Feb. %. 1909.
Dear Home Folks:

with we students. We had about l40
OF those senator's. legislators. news

youngsters. and the lieutenant gov
ernor. This piece cut out OF the paper
will give you the details better than
I can. We girls had a great time get
ting lunch ready for a crowd like
that We had enough dishes, and sill
verware to serve 200 without washing
dish. We served 140 in 40 minutes
and had them all out again. Now may
be you think We didn't go some"
Miss Rausch had everything all plan
ned and each girl in her place and
with her own work.
We girls that had had some exper-
isnce had the large tables-12 At q

"A Stubborn Cinderella" Tonight.

"When You First Kiss the Last
Girl You Love" Catchy title. isn't
it? And the song is just as catchy
with 20 more good ones to keep it
company in the quality musical play,
"a Stubborn Cinderella" which is to
play at the Coliseum, tonight. This
much talked about musical play is by
the same authors as "The Time, The
Place and The Girl" and other big
successes. The play was produced at
the opening of the New Princess The
atre, in Chicago by Mort H. Singer and
since the initial performance has been
playing to tremendous houses, with a
record of 500 consecutive performances
in Chicago; six months in New York
and 20 weeks in Boston and Philadel-
pha.
The plot of the piece hinges on the
love affairs of young college chap
who meets titled young woman from
Scotland, who previous to her ac-
quaintances with Mac, the college
youth, has never spoken to a man.
The situations following their meet
ing are ludicrous in the extreme, and
one only gets breathing spell from
the laughs during one of the many
pleasing song numbers introduced
throughout the play. Dan Sully, in the
Matchmaker" Monday, Sept. q.

THE OLDEST ENGINEER.
Elisha Newell Resigns After As Years
of Service With Maine Central.

Elisha S. Newell of Farmingdale,
who for number of years has been
the oldest engineer in point of service
employed by the Maine Central Rail-
road, has rendered his resignation af-
ter As years and months of service.
The resignation was rendered with the
understanding that it take effect i'm
mediately.
Mr.. Newell was employed for a
number of years as engineer on pas
senger trains, but since 1891 has been
employed as engineer of the local
shifter. He was born in Durham.
oct. 2, 1886. and has lived in Farming
dale for the past "a years. He is in
full possession of all his faculties, al :
though for the past few years his eyes
have not been quite as keen as for
mcrly and this is one of the reasons
that caused him to tender his resigna-
ton. He has never had an accident
in which any damage was done to
rolling stock or passengers under his
charge during his long term OF SER
vice.
Mr. and Mrs Newell have pretty
home in Farmingdaie, where they now
reside and next to them is the home of
their married daughters, Edith, wife
of Ralph f. Manson. They have two
other daughter, Alice, living at home
and Annie. wife of Richard f. Evans
of South Portland, also two sons.
George Newell. living at home and
Angcvne f. Newell, who runs a sta
tionary engine for S. H. and E. r.
Doten, Portland.
Mr.. Newell is a regularly ordained
clergyman of the Advent denomina-
ton and is very powerful both in ex-
hortation and prayer. He plans 10
devote a much larger portion of his
time than formerly to preaching now
that he is free from his arduous du-
ties as engineer.
