tapped, and the tick-tack worked to its
uttermost, no one will care because it
is "spooks' night" and all fun goes.

YOUNG GEORGE L. PERKINS
WAS LOVED AT HIS SCHOOL

The following is from the EXonian,
The school paper of the Phillips Exeter
Academy, which George l.. Perkins of
Ogden was attending when he was
stricken with his fatal illness:
The death Of George J. Perkins
comes as a great shock TO those who
were not aware that his condition
was SO serious. The premature taking
away of one OF such promise, Just at
the elimination of a successful school
career, strikes home to his scores Of
friends as the saddest and most bit
ter of blows His engaging person
ality, his ever unassuming lovable ia.
ture, his high character, and his pur-
poseful life. all seem only to empha-
size the untimeliness Of his decease
and to deepen the universal eXpres-
sion of regret, The abrupt termina-
ton oil such self sacrificing nature
is more than passing misfortune.
In his first year he showed partic-
ular promise In track work, but had
TO leave the team afterwards on ac-
count of his heart. He was, at thc
time he was stricken with his last ill
ness. class secretary, candidate for
class'day poet, president of the Deut-
