ILL Notes

; The faculty of Kents Hill Seminary
have granted half holiday to the stu.
dents to be spent in making the annual
sleighride to Winthrop Thursday after
noon Of this week. This holiday IS
the second Of the term, it being the
custom at kent's Hill to substitute TWO
half holidays taken at convenient times
for the usual legal holidays observed
by city schools. The school always has
exercises in observance or patr1otlc
holidays but the single day is always
too short a period for a visit home so
the boys and girls prefer the half holi-
day plan. These holidays are granted
at the request of the students when
ever special celebration is planned or
a particularly attractive opportunity
to spend the half day to advantage oc-
ours. On Thursday the students will
ride to Winthrop. take in the movies,
and make the return trip in time for
supper. Members of the faculty will go
as chaperones.
Principal Newton will meet the 9TH
er secondary school principals this

and at times glaringly inappropriate.
1T is my opinion" he said. that the
musical numbers should carry the ac-

them. For instance, in a scene of col

sent students in songs which deal
with piracy or cheese manufacture. un-
less the action Of the play demanded
such activity. In other words. songs
must be suited to the action and mood

AS the result of passing the day
Tuesday about town, one Eddie Wright,
who lives out on the Spring road near
the National Home at Togus, and one
Hartford Noble of Augusta, who Is a
veteran Of the Spanish War and is a
member of the Home. went up on the
hill Wednesday morning and will for
awhile have time to think matters over,
meanwhile being in the custody OF
Sheriff Harwood.
When brought into court Wednesday
morning Wright was arraigned for the
violation OF new law which was en-
acted by the last Legislature and
which forbids one from lettering about
the city streets and highways with in
toxicating liquor about ones person,
and is said to have been drawn for the
purpose Of making matters interesting
for that class of rum sellers known as
pocket peddlers" incidentally it
might be said that when the officer
searched Wright upon arresting him he
found in the latter's pocket two pint
bottles filled with something which
looked like whiskey but which in real
ity is said to have been a mixture of
alcohol, coloring matter and water.
Wright would not venture to name the
stuff any more than to say they called
it whiskey.' The stuff ignited readily
when touched with match.
When arraigned before Judge Lam
caster Wright pleaded guilty, admitting
that he had the two pints referred TO
above in his possession, whereupon he
was given a sentence of 500 ana costs
and 80 days in Jail, and in default of
payment of fine and costs so days ad-
ditional. Wright was also arraigned
on the charge of intoxication and on
being found guilty was given SEN
tence of 80 days in Jail.
Noble was arraigned on the charge
, of intoXication, of which he was found
guilty, and was given a sentence Of 80
days in Jail and costs taxed at 1882.
He expressed the opinion that the SEN
tence was little stiff but his words
fell on deaf ears and the sentence re-
mains as imposed.
