SCHOOL REUNION.
Held at East New Portland, Saturday,
July s.

Saturday, July s, 1911, the second
reunion of the graduates of the Red
School House at East New Portland,
Maine. was held and surely The
weather prophet was very kind to us,
as he had ordered an ideal day.
Twelve graduates met at the Adams
House. Boston, and after greetings
had been exchanged a very pleasant
hour spent, the plans for the day
were laid. An hours sail from the
city is lonely Nahant and that was
our destination. We went by boat
and wound around and among the is
lands which are so plenty In the bay
We were very fortunate In having one
among us who could point out all the
places of interest, his home being on
one of these islands. At one o'clock
D. m. we did full justice to fine din
ner served us in a private dining
room of the Relay house. The dinner
had that best of all appetizers, jollity
and laughter, which prevailed as stor-
les of old school days, and its fun and
frolic were recalled. After dinner
we went to the piazza where the most
of the afternoon was spent till five
o'clock when the boat which went
back to the city left. A business
meeting was held, and it was decid-
ed to have a reunion next year, the
date to be July 8, meeting place, Mar
blehead, Mass. 1t seems remarkable
that after all these years SO many,
living so far from the old homes were
able to meet together. Time goes
swiftly, gray hairs may come and
wrinkles too, but our hearts are
young, and we shall always be to each
other just the boys and girls of those
other days, when we trudged over the
country roads to the Red School
House, and the goodness and kind
ness of those who were our teachers
have, we hope, borne fruit in our
lives. The pleasure and comfort of
this second reunion will be a happy
memory till our next, when, God
willing, we shall meet again to live
over for a few hours the days of our
youth, and to bind their friendships.
Those present we're: H. F. Elder R.
r. Walton, Edwin Walton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hollis Hutchins, Mrs. Florence
Webb, Mrs. Josephine Davis, Mrs.
Angie Greedy, Mrs. Fannie Lanphier,
Mrs. Frances H. Pillsbury, Miss
Marie Walton, Miss Helen Webb.

LARONE.

The birds are more plenty and tame
than in former years. and it's very for
tunate for the farmers that they are
as they help to keep down the insect
pests that seemingly have no other
business than to destroy the planters
crops. At w. j. Marcia's a pair OF
bluebirds have appropriated the mail
box for housekeeping and have raised
their brood in safety, Notwithstanding
the mail is delivered every day by the
stage driver who is careful not to dis
turb the birds At w. P. Winslow,s
the bluebirds have utilized an old tin
can with only the cap removed which
was nailed to an apple tree, while in
the same tree pair of king birds
keep house and woe be to the hawk
who ventures too near the chicken
house. In nearby trees the robins
are at home while in the vines on the
piazza a chip sparrow has reared a
family of four, no attention being
paid to workers or passersby on the
piazza within two feet of the nest.

GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA.
They 9s,ed Massss Of Beautiful Silk
Cotton Every Year.


The silk cotton trees OF Jamaica are
one OF the most striking natural fea-
lures of this beautiful island, and Wis
itors express much curiosity concern
ing them. The fiber of the cotton is
too short for textile uses, but Its quail
ity Is delicate and fine.
The trees are most interesting In

or 800 feet 1t Is the largest tree on
the island, and the branches often over

Some Of them are centuries old, dat

iards. They have withstood the trop-

adaptation of their structure. The
leaves are very few, and there are
heavy masses of roots.

GUARDING THE KING.
Old English Methods Wher tho Mon
arch Was Taken Sick.

The law raises peculiar safeguards
round the person of the English SOW
ereign In case of sickness. They are
mere survivals in the present settled
order Of government, but at one time
the opportunity which the kings in
capacity afforded aspirants to the
throne. or treason makers to shorten
his days at a minimum of risk of de-
lection made the precautions reason
able.
"If the king be taken SICK" says
Coke in his Institutes" there ought
to be a warrant issue from the privy
council, addressed to certain physi-
clans and surgeons, authorizing them
to administer to the royal patient po-
tiDnes, syrupos. laxitavas, medicinas,
etc. Still, none of these should be Civ
en- except by consent and advice of
the council, and they ought to set
down In writing everything done and
administered, and they should COM
pound all drugs themselves and not In
trust their preparation to any apothe'
cary"
Coke wrote thus of precedent in the
year 1910, and today the law Is prach-
cally as he found II, although at the
present time in practice the privy coun-
ell simply hears reports Of the progress
of the kings malady and leaves actual
treatment entirely to the physicians In
direct charge Of the case.-Exchange-

The American Babv.

The American baby has a fine,
strong ancestry. The young men Of
England who were impatient of reli.
gious restraint and of physical oppres-
sion; the young men of Germany
touched with the dream of democracy;
the pick Of northern Europe, the
strong, the fair. the self reliant, the
conscientious English at bottom, but
with dash of the best blood of other
races-this Is the American baby, and
no king and no lord ever had better
heritage. Take 1t as 1t goes, In Mas
sachusetts, In Ohio. In Michigan, In
Washington. In California, the average
American baby has In Its veins more
of the blood of the Plantagenets than
any king now living has. 1t was his
fortune to have come from the daugh-
ter lines and the lines of the younger
sons, not from the elder son, whom
British custom has marked for the
aristocrat.-David Starr Jordan.
