That she did not dream OF never
seeing her husband again when she
left his side to step into a lifeboat on
the Titanic, was the statement of Mrs.
H. F. Chaffee of Amenia in New York.
She gave one of the most thrilling
accounts of the wreck yet heard.
Mrs. Chaffee said that her last mo-
ment with her husband was when he
pushed her through the narrow space
between the rail and boat, telling that
it was all right, that she would be
rowed back to him in few minutes.
No one had much thought of dam
ger, she said Il thought it a for
mality for the women to have 70 90
and remember laughing with nv hus-
band at the clumsy way everything
was done. We had retired. hut were
not asleep when the jar came at 11.45
It was not great, not more that
Jerky stop. Mr.. Chaffee put ON tbe
lights and then began to dress slowly.
The woman opposite us, who had
gone UP to inquire, knocked on o,,r
door and told us the women and chill
dren We're ordered into boats, but the
omcers said there was no danger. we
took pains to put on warm things and
got on deck in half an hour. All was
confusion there and showed the lack
of drilling.
No System in Filling Boats,
"on Sunday there had been anil
scheduled for the crew, but itw az
called Off. The captain was at a din
ner party. For some time there was
talk on deck and much running about.
Then the boats began to drop. No
system was used to fill them. The
boat was in was overmanned. Two
men We're discovered smoking cigar
cites under the seats, and the sailors
and stewards were not able to row.
"As we pulled steadily away. for the
hrst time understood the low pur-
ring sound. 1t was the water r1,sh-
into the Tftanic's side, and my heart
seemed to stop. The great vessel was
perceptibly lowering in the water.
A Horrible Fear.

Half a dozen times after the first

he placed his bride of but few
months in the waiting lifeboat and

himself to attention as he stood on

single salute, and was in that position
as the lifeboats drew away from the
doomed craft.

who come far after us. We ask you to
join us in our endeavor to make Middle
bury a name of honor and esteem.
What possibilities of good for the great
world, and for the college you will one
day call your alma mater, may lie
within your lives, we cannot tell, but
we believe if you will come up to your
best in the search for truth, in the
development of minds skilled in the dis
covery and test of truth, in appreciation
of the moral obligations which human
ity's achievements have wrought for
those who know them, the good from
your lives will be beyond our fondest
hope. The road before you will not all
be easy. Some of its hardest climbs
will come almost at the start. We
welcome you, not as those who are
invited by easy days and trifing tasks,
but as men and women who will glory
with US in giving this old world a hard
fight before we die.

by him crashed into a tree on the Fells-

HANDWRITING BY WIRELESS
Device Perfected by Young lnven-
tor Of Turin.

A device has been perfected where
by handwriting and all kinds of designs
can be sent by wireless. The inventor
is Signor de Bernochi of Turin, only
twenty-four years old. He has been
working at this branch of wireless sci
ence for four years. Speaking of his
work, he said:
my first really successful expert
ments were made in 1911, when sue
ceeced in sending manuscript in few
minutes, whereupon the minister of war
put the wireless station of Turin at my
disposal for experiments, followed later
by the use of that of Milan also. A few
days ago message in writing was sent
between these two towns, distance of
$50 miles, without mishap. The advan-
tages of my invention are that mes
sages cannot be intercepted, and are
therefore secret, and | do not need to
explain what that would mean in time
of war. Maps, plans, designs, signed
dispatches, ETC., can be sent with the
greatest secrecy. Boston Transcript.

We hear thy sweet signing,
And fear thou art flying;
Oh beautiful summer, thy parting delay
Thou earnest with myriads of birds and
of flowers,
The sweet-scented breezes thy coming
foretold;
We greeted thee gladly,
But now we are sadly
Lamenting that thou, like all earth,
must grow old.
The wild flowers bloomed in the edge OF
the forest
AS the voice of thy coming with glad
ness they heard;
Cold winter will cover
Their sweet blossoms over,
And drive far away every caroling bird.
From off the green hills of the shadowy
woodland
The soft winds came, laden with sweet
est perfume,
The sweet birds were singing
And nature seemed bringing
Her loveliest treasures of beauty and
bloom.
Then tarry with US for a little while

Sweet summer So lovely. so bright,
and so fair,
For we shall be lonely
When we can have only
Dull winter rough storms, and it's chill
frosty air.

latest report from the army engineers.
While there has been much specula-
ton and number of prophecies con-
corning the early opening of the canal,
the Navy Department was the first to
announce the surprising fact officially.
The date for the opening originally was
set for January l, 1915, and engineers
for some time had doubted if the engi-
neering difficulties could be overcome
to permit completion of the work by
that date.
The remaining work is said to offer
