Objection To Change
In School Hours

Those who are not infavor of
changing the school hours from two
sessions to one, as has been sug gest-
ed by a pertition now being circulat-
ed will have an opportunity to sign
the following remonstrance which
has been left at the post office in
charge of Miss Marston. we the
under signed are opposed to the pro-
posed change in the school session
for the following reasons; we object
to an unbroken session of school from
$50 to 2 o'clock.
Application without relaxation pro-
duces the same results. We object
to having our children relieved from
school at so early an hour of the
day, the time of which must be spent
in ungoverned play, and in case OF
boys, mostly outside of them others
sight and Watchfulness. We can
manage our girls, but it takes an ex-
ira ordinary mother to keep in touch
with her healthy boys. We object
to the preparation of so many lessons
at home. 1t is uncessful on account
of interruption, if accomplished at all
the parents are doing the work of the
teachers. We object as house keep
ers to getting two dinners, as the
head of the house must necessarily
have his at IL o'clock. We also OBJ
ject most strenuously to putting up
his dinner.

took instructions from Mr.. Joiner.
There will be dinner on the

SOUNDS PRAISE OF THE PIE.
Compared TO Ambrosia of the
immortal Gods.

Pie alone, or as prelude or post
lude to appropriate viands, is the per-
lection OF feasting. 1t may be grace
before meat or after, but it is always
a benediction, blessing. There are
travesties of pie, but of them we do
not speak. Pie that is worthy the
name, pie that is pie, is the light that
never was on sea or land of Cockaigne,
the conservation, and the poets dream
of fast breaking-the fine fancies OF
transcendentalism were nourished on
pie for breakfast 1t is heavens best
gift to man. We do not know exactly
what the ambrosia of the immortal
gods may be, nor their nectar either,
but there is reason to believe that
the Olympian bill of fare is the pie
and milk of mortals At least, 1t is be-
yond mortal mind to imagine more
excellent menu, and the perfection of
pie itself is its all-encircling outer
edge of crust.
II the appreciation of pie is to begin
at its crisp circumference, why are
pies divided into wedges? The in
stinct of the race Is sound upon this
point and is the convincing answer.
A pie is not made; 1t grows under
the hands of genius, and its periphery
is the finishing touch of creation. 1t
is the last word in pie. The apex of
a wedge of pie is the alluring over
ture to a crescendp of delight which
reaches its climax in the crust end,
and as this crust becomes part of one
self one knows what pie is for. The
crust end" is the final cause of pie
itself, its raison d'etre, the solution
of the blissful riddle, why is pie It
is the last act of the play with a
happy ending, the concluding chapter
of the romance in which they lived
happily ever afterward. II is that
which whets the appetite for another
wedge. 1t tastes like more-New

"PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED.
Graduates OF Colby College Are This
Year Enabled to Continue Old
and Honored Practice.

When the class of 1862 left Colby
until 1903, with all the succeeding
classes, says the Lewistown Journal.
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day a pipe, which was
kept at the college for this purpose,
and on this eventful day in the lives
of the graduates they all took smoke
from the pipe, whether they had
ever smoked before or not. The So
called Pipe of Peace" was an i'm
mense pipe with stem two feet long
and a bowl with a human face en-
graved upon 1t in the front, while
around the sides were found many
other profles. This wonderful pipe
remained at the college for fortyodd
years and was smoked by every man
who graduated during that time, but
in 1903 1t mysteriously disappeared,
and was not heard from until the
past week, when 1t was returned to
the college. With the disappearance
of the pipe the custom disappeared,
and thus the classes since 1903 have
not had the privilege of smoking a
pipe of peace" Now, however, that
the pipe is safely back at the college,
and is being watched over by DR.. Hail
at the library, it is very probable that
the old custom will again be taken UP
and that the class Of 1909 will on COM
mencement day OF this year be seen
pufing away at this valuable old relic

GOOD VALUE IN OLD PAPERS.
They Can Be PuIped and Worked Up
Into Excellent Coverings for
Floors.

Old, torn and dirty papers are usu-
ally regarded as articles without
value, but e. market is easily found
even for what are apparently the most
hopeless cases. AT cost of about
$3.50 a ton they can be pulped, and
worked up into floor coverings, which
with a thickness OF about one-third of
an inch have the durability and elias
tic tread of linoleum. When we con-
slider that the old papers cost say
s1.6s per ton the profits to be drawn
from this manufacture when it is in
right hands can be imagined. A new
flooring of this kind must, however, be
oiled, after having been laid down,
with petroleum or any cheap yege-
table oil. This will prevent 1t from
going moldy, and will also enable it
to be waxed or vanished, whereby 1t
will become as durable and as bril-.
liant as the best inlaid wooden floors.
Great interest has arisen in Germany
with regard to this new industry, and
experiments are in progress to test
the effects of adding other bodies,
such as pitch and mineral pigments to
the paper pulp so as to manufacture
floor coverings of different colors and
qualities.

Only in France is art appreciated.
The English idea of art is well por-
trayed in a story Mrs. Henniker Hea-

Mrs Henniker Heaton, a connec-

some ladies miniatures of Swinburnes
titled relatives.
"One of these ladies, as she studied

to her daughter and said:

was so well connected. Remind me,
the next time we are at Nudes, to buy
his works."
