US recent meeting. At that time the election for class officers resulted as follows: President, Lena Carbo; vice president, Lseona Lewis; secretary and treasurer, James Hart. The boys were of the opinion that one of the,r sex should hold the presidency. as Is customary in other schools, but the girls, with the usual feminine logic, said, as they were in tho ma ajOrity, they would elect one of their sex. When the ballots were counted it was found that the voters remained true to their sex, and the choice fell on Miss Carbo. The boys endeavorcd to convince the girls this ought not to be so, not because they dislike Miss Carbo, but because she is a "woman,' and. as the franchise has not been granted to the fair sex as yet, an- other election should be held. The causes of "lfe's troubles and joys replied that the election would stand as it was, and delied the masculin3 element to do anything about it. So Miss Carbo is president, and the boys are peevcd, The girls also decided that the class colors will be blue and gold
 Fail to Heed.
 As a result of their failure to heed a warning, two automobilists spent the major part of yesterday afternoon dig ging their way out of the snow drifts on the turnpike. About twelve o'clock a large touring car passed Woodruff's S store going in the direction of Hart ford. A short ways down the road, William Webster informed the men it would be impossible to reach the Cap itol city by that route. They con- ic rily along until they reached Web Ster's place, where the machine be- came stuck in the snow. Several at temptS were made to get the car out, but were of no avail. Finally shovcls were borrowed and the machine dug out. The machine returned to Wood- ruff's corner about four o'clock and the last seen of it, it was headed in the direction of New Britain.
