This may not be poetry. but its
the truth, and the very fastest bulle-
ton from Columbia University.
where last week ten openly Haunt
ing unkissed members Of the senior

men is that from all corners Of the

succeeded Allan Conlin as editor Of

nounced the senior body as bunch

Simonds OF the football team-re-
fuses to commit himself. He merely
winks when approached on the sub
ject, but perhaps his reticepce is due
to an anonymous letter received BY
Allan Conlin. the senior who is keep
ing his lips sacred for a girl who
can make mullins and who wears
white spats.

Troubles Of Estes Family Of Manehes'

The troubles OF the Estes family,
town of Manchester, were given an air.
ing Monday afternoon. and all on &C
count Of the complaint Of one Harlow
Howard, who swore out complaint
against Ernest Estes, who is his broth
er-in-law, charging him with assault
and battery, and alleging in the war
rant that Estes broke up checker
board over his wife's head.
No legal talent represented either
side and both Estes and his wife Dora
appeared in their own behalf. Estes
pleaded not guilty, and admitted that
while he was in the habit Of using IL
uuor at times he stoutly maintained
that he was not drunk at the time OF
the alleged assault, and did not drink
a glass Of liquor lat one swallow when
he came into the house at the time OF
the alleged assault. He further claim
ed that he did not have any liquor IN
the house and said that what he die
drink was a glass Of tea.
After hearing the two sides OF the
question it took the court but lev
moments TO reach a conclusion ano
Estes was promptly found guilty ano
given a sentence Of SO and costs or l;
days in Jail
Other cases before the court were two
cases of intoxication in which one re-
spondent was given fine Of 50 ant
costs and the other 80 days in Jail
which latter sentence was suspended.

A WET FOURTH
Spells All Celebrations and Brings
General Disappointment

The Fourth in Augusta was a quiet
one, likewise wet one. Perhaps the
fact that it was wet was the reason
that it was quiet. And the same might
be said of the night before" 1t is
not intended to give the impression
that Monday night was characterized
by stiffness like that of the Sab
bath, but merely to say that it was
quiet compared with some Of the
nights that have in the past preceded
the day we celebrate. There was some
thing in the line Of noise making early
in the evening, especially on Water
street, but the number. of people on
the street was comparatively small
and the rain sent many of these home
early, and so far as the residential
sections of the city were concerned
1t was remarkably quiet One of the
night police said last evening, in
speaking of Water street, that he had
never seen it so quiet on the night be-
fore the Fourth as it was Monday
night.
And the day itself was quiet, for as
stated above it rained. The nor east
err which developed Monday afternoon
kept at it until well into the night
and then let up only to begin again
| Tuesday morning, gaining energy as
the day advanced until at times dur
| ing the afternoon it became a general
downpour. The storm carried to the
hearts of countless people in this sec
| ton of Maine feeling Of disappoint
ment, for all had planned an outing
for the day and the rain spoiled all.
Many Augusta people went to Gardi-
ner to take in the celebration and
others went to Lewiston for the Ame
purpose. and all were destined to be
disappointed. The pleasure of many
