The seven Brockton, Mass, clergy
men who were April-fooled into a wild
goose chase for the place where they
were supposed to be wanted to perform
a marriage ceremony and all came
together at the same garage must have
been pretty good fellows. for they
laughed and poked fun at each other
as jolly as boys.

The Bates Times waited until April
2 before springing this one: Speaking
of catfish, some one last evening
claimed that a catfish was so called
because it .'meowed" like a cat when
first hauled into a boat. This little
contribution to natural history and
the additional assertion that dog
fish will bark like dog and is warm
blooded. the Times man gives, not as
an April jcke. but for what it may be
worth.

Unforgotten Days.
tBy Elizabeth Powers Merrill)
Volets, violets blue and white
Down where the brook goes by
Bobolinks wheeling in joyous fight
Under the watching sky
tleecy clouds blowing Ger heavens
With snow white sails set high,
BreeZes pouring from halls of the west
Where day lies down to die.
Violets, violets-love, see
Our old home on the hill:
Roof weather stained as a ship at sea
BY storms that beat it still.
Tangled, unkempt, the fenced garden lot
Where once white lilies blew.
Shaking hands with peoples of red,
brought
over the sea to you.
Violets. violets (fall o tears
For sweet days passed away
Gaze l across the long parted years
Back to another day.
My heart throbs fast as the farm house
door
Swings in the sunshine bright
And see, ah mol see no more
You vanish in the light
Fragrant the violets where I stand
l pluck the blossoms fair,
Holding them fast in my tired old hand,
Breathing their fragrance rare.
On low green mound on a sunny hill
These flowers for you. l lay,
For those tender days are with me still,
Locked in my heart for aye.

time ago he informed the board that
as it was about to take over the water
and sewer systems from the territory,
he would allow them use of the hun
galow for offices But the Supervis-
Ors delayed in accepting the offer, and
it is possible that this delay was
construed by the governor to mean
that it did not feel inclined to accept
his offer

The question of the location of the

for the attention of Secretary w. w.
Thayer. as well as Superintendent
Caldwell. Incidentally, they both ap-
pear to be one in the belief that of
the two proposed locations, the one
farthest from town should be decided
on. Both sites are owned by the

it is said, If it is taken it will be only

To know the age of eggs, every
