meant hard work, though. was crude and
insuficiently cleaned.
About 1859 a process was invented to
thoroughly cleanse sea moss and by a
careful ystem of dessication and cereal
blending the commercial article known
as Sea Moss Farine was perfected.
The great convenience of this Farine

MEETING OF N. E. FRIENDS OPENS

About 70 FrendsInterestng Address by W. G Carver on
Rural District Work-Tuesday's Session

spoke especially of their work in ru-
raj districts. While our cities and
large villages have strong church or
CARNATIONS and do much good work,
he said, the rural districts are, many
of them, without any organized church
work. He emphasized the fact that
any community without some reii-
gious work will soon lapse into con-
dition of low morals.
He also stated that in his large ex-
perience he found the rural districts
very ready to receive religious instruc-
tions and often a kind word spoken
has produced wonderful results.
Remarks were also made by Tom
Sykes and Laura Ellison.

place, upon the ample grounds, shdd-
ed by fine old trees, the meeting was
so well accommodated that since 1904
if has been held at the school ev-

In 1912 it was held in Vassalboro
and the yearly meeting assemblies

Pine Ode

Air: The Gypsy Trail.
The locust trees are blossoming.
And lilac time is here;
The willow-wands are con3uring
The magic of the year.
And every breeze that blows today,
And all the birds that sing
Tell of our love and loyalty
The homage that we bring.
Alma Mater we linger here.
Friends of four sun-fiecked years,
Watching the circles of blue disappear
Thus may all thy fears!-
Watching the rings filmy blue
Mingle in opal mist.
Pledging the faith of hearts that are
true,
Keeping a sacred tryst
And as we gaze on these well-loved halls,
Home of our college days,
And on the chapels view walls,
We look through gray-blue haze
Gray with the mist of memory,
And clouds of a promised land:
But brightest blue with the pride that
we feel
As we clasp every classmates hand.
The sapphire blue of the twilight sky,
The glow of the stars above,
The haze on the river winding by,
All shall tell our love.
That smiles on the evening dew
And though the future may lead us far,
To our friendship we'll be true!
The address to undergraduates by
Idella Farnum followed, after Sc
lection by the orchestra. The address
was full of beautiful thoughts and
delighted all by it's simplicity and
clearness. 1t follows, in part;
THE student whose aim Is selfish
is bound to miss the best AS we have
received we must give. Each one OF
us is but small part of the uni
verse; not so much as the contribution
of the Messalonskee stream to the
ocean. But that stream, though small,
is as surely a part of Goods plan as
is the ocean itself. College men and
women are needed for the world s
noblest work. In stout-hearted, we'll

FELLOW SERVANT ACT DENIED BY COURT IN
 SUIT AGINST N. H.

The fellow servant clause by which many corporations seek to es- cape liability for injuries to employees, did not receive much sympathy from Judge Curtis of the superior court in a decision handed down today in the action brought by Edward Hendrix, administrator, against the New Haven Railroad Go.
 Hendrix, who was administrator for James Lyon of this city, who died in March, 1913, sued for $l0.000 to re- cover for fatal injuries Lyon received when he was thrown from ladder used in construction work It was said that the ladder was too short and slipped in the soft ground The Rail- road company filed a demurrer and quoted the fellow servant" clause. 1t said Lyons own acts were responsible for his accident Judge Curtis rules that the fact of the ladder being too short, as. the plaintiff alleges. makes cause of action.
