a very pleasant May Day festival
was inaugurated last season by the
Ladies OF the Leaf club when 1t was
agreed that each year early in
May day should be spent a-picnicx'
ing.
On yesterday at Chickasaw Lake.
the second annual picnic was held
under the pleasantest of circum-
stances and was largely attended by
club members.
No business or literary discussions
marred the pleasure OF the day, but
instead the guests gave themselves
up to thorough abandonment and
the enjoyment of the club house
and its hospitality.
Mr.. Wortham served one of those
delicious country dinners that has
already made the club house fam
Gus and took care that all the cour
tesies of the club were extended

fought back the Sophomore tackle. Smith,
the halfback, plunging in to plug the hole he
would make stepped on his heel and almost
threw him to his knees. Recovering balance,
with the ball tightly hugged he lurched on
behind the swaying line, after the orihamme
of Lewis pink shirt. A hand reached for his
legs as he stumbled the whole end, which he
had hoped cleanly to circle darn the fellowsl
they didn't hold as they should, caved in on
him and he went diving amidst the fragments.
A high tackle brushed rough sleeve across
his eyes and blinded him. A pair OF arms
wrapped themselves about his thighs but he
wrenched himself free. He was buffeted,
hauled, mauled, pushed, grunted over,
fought over as bone is fought over by dogs
and suddenly he burst out and went whlrling,
staggering, into the open. He was free

Harold ran.
His feet were heavy and clumsy; he was
unable TO get the speed out OF them. He

Hundreds In Danger.

RHEIMS, France, Jan 30.-Hundreds
OF people are in imminent danger to-
day from a food which IS sweeping a
large part Of eastern and southern
France
At Avenay, near here, the entire pop
uIation has been cut Of by the over
flow Of the river Marne. The village
IS surrounded by water and unless
boats effect a rescue OF the population.
It is feared many viii be drowned
In the neighbOrhoOd Of Macy. the peo-
PIE are being picked or their roof tops
by boats The work Of rescue is at
present wholly inadequate and as the
heavy rains which have caused the
Marne and its tributaries to break their
banks, are still continuing, the need Of
a more heroic work Of rescue IS i'm
perative-
The property loss IS already euor-
nous Much livestock has been killed
and cattle and other stock are now
herded in the villages Scores Of bridges
have been destroyed, roads washed
away and such general damage wrought
that il is impossible TO learn the ex-
tent Of the loss
The sufferers are appealing to the
government to furnish immediate aid
There is no prospect Of a cessation Of
the rain and the swollen streams are
still rising.
