Graduation at Kent's Hill.

An Address from a Graduate of 70.
Thirty-four graduates took their d.
plomas at Kent's Hill Seminary June
22nd and the usual exercises were held in
the chapel. Annie Nickerson of Swan
vile spoke on "The Work of the Red
Cross and told of the heroism and I'M
selfish devotion of the Red Cross workers
on the European battlefieds. DR.. P. E..
Luce of Brooks, class of '79. was one of
the speakers at the Steward Feast, and
told something of his work and expert
ences since graduation, and of his pleas
ure at being present on this occasion. He
said, in part:
| came to Kent's Hill forty years ago
ard left here IN 1879, ana have only been
here once since, and that was the next
year, al the graduating exercises OF the
class OF 1880, just 80 years ago this month
of June. OF course curing that time
there have been many changes and I'M
provements. Then we had the old board
and plank walks. with frequently loose
board or plank to fly up between our feet
aud trip US up. Now the students walk
upon smooth, firm asphalt pavement.
Then we had Kerosene lamps; now you
have electric lights. Then we had little
round barrel stove in the corner of each
room and were obliged to lug all our
wood and water from the basement,
which was no small job, especially if you
roomed on the third or fourth floor Now
you have steam radiators and commodi-
Gus and sanitary wash and toilet rooms.
And SO say | have found many changes
and improvements But there is one
thing at old Kent's Hill that has not
changed during the last forty years. As
| climbed the stairs IN old Bearce Hall
today and looked out over the beautiful
country, clothed in it's robe of June YER
dure On its beautiful mountains, hills and
valleys, on its many lakes and streams,
it looked to me just as beautiful as when
my eyes first beheld it forty years ago.
The scenery of OLD kent's Hill has not
changed, but looks more beautiful to me
than ever before. | am glad to be here
and m ct the old faces and mingle with
the boys and girls of today. 1t recalls
my own happy school days spent among
these same familiar scenes. But with the
feelings of pleasure and happiness that
come to me today is mingled feeling of
sorrow and sadness as recall the names,
faces and forms of "those who have gone
before, whose life journey is ended.
whose lite work is o'er.' Let US hope
we may all meet again IN ''the great re-
union of the eternal alumni in the
world beyond.

First-Hand Evidence.

MY experience without exaggeration
is as follows: We arrived in a large
Southern city, where there were two
good hotels which We're two or three
blocks off Man street. As far as seeing
the city was concerned, We traVersed d
few blocks and we were done. One
small block of park covered with rot
ten smelling fertilizer, that smells to
heaven. Fertilizng park in the balmy
Southern cline. where grass is supposed
to grow thirteen months out of a year!
But it does not. You will be surprised
to find no grass III the South. There you
will see some very good homes with bare
clay yards in front. That is why the
cows are SO thin, showing their Iibs-
little or no grass, and no life in it. We
found the Orpheum Theatre converted
into ten, twenty and thirty cert stock
company, which did not pan out fnan-
cially, and they were obliged to close its
doors One other theatre had an ad
standing by the door, announcing that a
certain company was here twelve days
ago, and that in two days $50 and So"
would appear for one night. Think of it
"a city of $4,000 people and theatre
open two nights in month!
On the street corners could be seen
dozens of detected negroes, dressed in
rags and clothes held together by
strings, while in the country their condi-
ton is far worse. We tried to find let
ter box, but could not There were
none. They have letter carriers to de-
liver mail, but stores and offices all send
their mail to the post office, as we did
forty years ago. There is no "white
squadron" to clean the streets. The
dirt and filth remain in evidence until
the rains come and wash 1t away.
The dilapidated wagons, harness, and
thin bony mules are shocking to the
stranger. Wagons delivering for large
firms seem to be held together by wires
and boards nailed on at home, harness
held together by strings, cords or wires.
Six inches of string over the top of a
horses head holding bride on! Wire

er's ragged clothing is held together ir
the same way. Busted, bankrupt, anc

Others Who Had Bitten.

found newly married couple from
Ohio living nearby, living in barn. The
husband, while talking with me, cursed
the man that induced him to leave the
North. This young man of thirty was
easily worth three or four dollars day,
educated and smart, yet he got landed
here, his money all ''invested' in land
and trees, which he could not sell. He
was strapped for money and had no place
to go, so he sticks and starves and hopes
on; he does not live, he simply exists, and
works like slave for his daily pittance.
Now as to spraying the trees, l find
this is done every month or two through
out the year. 1t costs money. 1t takes
four men to team to run the outfit, one
man driving, one pumping, and two
spraying the trees, one spraying on each
side as they drive through the trees. 1t

THE LESSON OF A FUNERAL SERVICE
I From the New York Herald. /

memorial service held in old Trinity Church
yesterday morning had a deeper significance
than mere rites for the dead. 1t represented
an idea too long dormant in this country, which
inant.
Many will say of young Victor Chap
man, dead beneath his aeropiane within
the German lines near Verdun, that he
represented "1dealism." A young
American, with everything to live for,
possessed of wealth, health and pleasant
associations, chooses to go abroad and
lose his life on the battledelds of Europe,
and it is called "idealism." Yet the
ideaism which led him abroad was the
his services to the American colonies,
which made him fight at the Battle of
Germantown with bootleg full of blood
10 win his separate command. 1t was
the same impulse which made Washing
ton carry on the War of Independence
when the faith and courage of men reeled
and swooned. 1t was the same thing
which called forth our volunteers in 1861
for four years of strife. The aim was
not in any sense ''idealism, it was lib
erty!
just as truly as the call of liberty stir
red Lafayette, so it stirred Mr.. Chapman
and is stirring his associates in the Amer
lean aviation corps. 1t is the cause of
hberty-not of nation tut of the world.
The struggle in which this splendid Amer
lean life was sacrificed was the cause of
liberty for his native country, just as 1t
was of liberty for France.
The cause which that gallant nation,
with its Allies, is striving for is just as
as much an American cause. There on
the line where Victor Chapman fellis our
own first line of defence. Americans as
a class do not see 1t as clearly as they
should, but the memorial service at Trim
ity yesterday should tend to make 1t
clearer.
The cry for liberty was never so pres,
sing in Its demands upon mankind. All
Europe is weltering in blood for liberty
and Mexico is starving for it while we
talk. Let that cause be lost across the
Atlantic, and there will be possibility
that the freedom for which Washington
and Lafayette fought will disappear from
tt earth.

One Nut.

Later in the week we met a man who
showed me his diamond ring and he said:
This and couple of town lots worth
about ten dollars each is my pecan or
chard." | wondered what he meant, so
he went on to explain. Eight years ago
he had planted sott-shel pecans and af-
ter waiting for several years for them to
bear, he found that worms had eaten about
two feet up inside OF the trees, while
white scabs and insects had about ruin
ed the exterior. He spent thousands on
fertilizer, banking, hoeing and spraying,
and got In return just one nut. Finally
he sold out for about two hundred dol
lars, the diamond ring and the two lots.
Years ago they grew beautiful pears
all through this district, but they were
all frozen stiff one winter, and that is

the next freeze-up.
We had two hundred Satsuma trees n
the place We bought, that We're about
three years old, and we were told to be
sure and "bank" them, which was to
dig around the tree three or four feet
away SO as not to hurt the roots, and
bank them up two or three feet high
with earth, to keep them from freezing.
When halt done, the nurseryman came
along and said it was all wrong. He
said We had grass in the banking
mounds, which if covered up all winter
would develop little hug in each grass
root, and that this would kill the trees
by spring. All the grass must be cleared
away first. He showed US how he did it.
The earth is carried from place cleared
OF grass, over to the tree, and If any
grass is to be seen in it, then the worker
must stoop down and pick it out, blade
by blade. In an hour you will have one
or two trees banked, lame back, and a
disappointed expression. You will then
begin to realize that the work you did at
home, up North, was play compared to

Hunting the Land Only.

Now comes our experience in the coun-
try, our future home, twenty-eight miles
out. The local trains run old worn out
cars, and the locomotives should be in
the junk heap. Where they get them or
how long they have had them, the good
Lord only knows. The railroad comp ny
is rich, and earns, not pays, very large
dividends. They have snap. 1t is
ride with US or walk. That is why any
old thing will do for equipment. 1t
surely is shame and a disgrace to the
road; and to the State that allows it.
We arrived at our town at about 7.30
P. M. No one down to meet the train
from the hotel-too much bother; or is it
that so few ever stop? A long walk in
wet, clay, muddy street or lane up to the
hotel. In the daylight it looked like a
COW pasture. And we went to the best
place in town!
