fire drill had been regularly practiced
by the girls living in the dormitory and
at all hours of the day and night, even
in the dead of night, and consequently
the girls knew just what was expected
of them when the fire gongs rang
through the great building at 430 on
Tuesday morning. They left their rooms
and stood in the hall just outside their
own doors until all had been marshaled,
as the college authorities supposed, and
when the line was thought to be com

as the names were checked off the roll
of the known occupants of the building.
But then, it was found that few of

only rightly applied. Thus far very lit
tie energy has been misspent and the
inference is that very little will be.
Taken by and large, yesterdays returns
were among the most encouraging OF
any single day since the big movement
was launched, Much of the larger fruit
has been pruned and the subscriptions
gained from now on to the finish must
necessarily represent the results of hard
and conscientious labor. To ordinary
outdoor workers, Wednesday was day
in the garnet, inasmuch as ordinary
workers are wont to postpone activity
in the field until the weather clears.
But a young western blizzard that did
business throughout the day did not
deter the campaign forces from muster
ing in the morning. They kept ever
lastingly at it till dusk.
Fifty thousand is the watchword and
there will be no keeping the workers
from accomplishing their aim if we'll

lage in the territory embraced by Barre

volition, but the field will be thoroughly
canvassed, nevertheless, as the cam
paigners have no intention of passing
anyone who desires to contribute.
The Evening Roundup.
II was tired, but happy, band of
eampaigners who sat down to supper at
the Universalist church vestry last even
ing. Captain Thomas Mercer and his
levies were given leave of absence. They
were out parading for the big benefit
burlesque given in the Church street
gymnasium for the fund, but all of the
other teams were well represented and
enthusiasm ran high. City Clerk James
Mackay presided and Miss Bayne of the
North Barre Methodist mission asked
the invocation. Reports from the al
lied towns indicated that the workers
outside are looking forward to real
ization Of the $4,000 mark and the re-
turns from Barre City also showed that
this final end is anticipated. Both ban
ners were awarded to Mrs. A. w. Al
len of the women's teams. Mrs. Allen
and her followers gained the largest to-
tai and the largest number of subscrip-
tons and therefore wrested the buntings
from Mrs. G.. A. Lane and Mrs. H. R.
Bradford. 1t was signal triumph for
the team. Mrs. Allen improvised the
following quatrain in responding:
at Is all very well to cheer and yell
When the money rolls into your hopper;
But this Is the team that is bound to scream
When it can't scrape up a copper"
Fear that the day had been a failure
with the mems teams was rapidly dissi-
pated when Dan A. Perry's team re-
ported $0l450 for total of 81 sub
scriptions. The pennants were trans
ferred to Captain Perry from Captain
Stefano Rizzi's barracks without any
more ado. There was much loud cheer
ing on all sides.
