Howard is dead.
 Oh, God! It seems impos. sible!
 That red-blooded, bright faced, keen eyed, typical Am erican boy, who was always everywhere, bubling over with the joy of living.
 It does not seem possible that he could be dead.
 And yet almost with his arms around "Daddy's" neck, and with the sound of Dad, dy's" name hardly off his lips, his little life went out Tues day evening, leaving not only Daddy" and Mamma but the entire family and his many friends standing aghast, dumb. founded, and with bleeding hearts.
 He was puny Saturday, and his favorite physician was called, but did not think his illness was serious. Sunday he developed symptoms of ar- pendicitis and in spite of the best efforts of two physicians who gave him almost constant and continuous attention, he grew steadily worse until death resulted.
 Eternal optimist that he was, he never murmured, was nev- CT discouraged, and even through his last hours of in- tense suffering his mind was clear and he was confident of victory.
 To those of his family and friends who knew him best, his remarkable spirit of op- timism, his ability to radiate sunshine, his inexhaustable fund of boyish wit, his abso- lute fearlessness and his manly and courteous conduct, at home, in school, on the play ground and on the street, stand out as characteristics that are monument to his memory, builded by his own hands and in his own way.
 Funeral services were con- ducted at the home Wednes- day evening by Rev. M. E. Umsted of Newport and al- though the little body was tenderly and reverently laid to rest in Blue Springs cemetery, the spirit of Howard will re- main as sacred memory to his family and to many of his friends.

The Village Club

Just a gathering of friends; no fixed
eve, or price; but only as day ends,
and leisure begins, in this home or
that, They meet and chat; without a
topic, and no conclusion sought.
And So, thought, you readers might
be pleased with a rambling sketch,
from time to time, of their vagrant
talks.
The Moulds: I deal, you know, with
sand and melted iron; and though no
College Degree for me, yet hand and
yes must think the while l work; or
your stoves and engines fail of cast
ings, sure and safe.
The Doctor: Well, I a sincerely
claim that what l do is different from
your labors. For, after all, my sight
and touch must teach my mind to find
your ailments and their remedies; or
otherwise, you sicken to the worse, and
die.
The Editor: [ seem limited to use
of words, but sometimes trying to IN
vent new thoughts; though Terence
said. two thousand years ago, Moth
ing is said that was not said before.
Yet | feel like old DOnatus, as St.
Jerome relates, who ragged that
his best thoughts were sailed long be-
fore his time;" LET them perish, who
wrote my own high sentiments, ere l
was born"
The Preacher: And to discourage
every man, the words of Solomon,
"No new thing under the SUM"
The Professor: But what about the
questions, a hundred and more, to test t
the man who seeks a place to work?
For every one of them only asks, like
the Greeks of whom st. Paul writes:
"What do you know" And strange to
say. not one of them urges the mind
to attempt something new and helpful
as if memory were the only valuable
faculty we have.

At the regular meeting of the
Board Of Trustees of Rutgers College,
on Tuesday, June IA, a years leave of
absence was granted to President W.
h. S. DemareSt at the close of his ff-
teenth year as head of the College.
DR.. Demarest will spend the summer
in New York State, Will return to Col
lege for a week or so in September,
and will then leave New Brunswick
for several months. He has not de-
cided as yet where he will go, but he
will spend a considerable part of his
time in writing a history of the Col
lege, material for which was gathered
during the One Hundred and Fiftieth
Anniversary Celebration in 1916.
Frederick Frelinghuysen, Esq, of
the class of 1868, President of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany, of Newark, has been chosen
president pro TEN of the Board of
Trustees, to preside at the meetings
of the Board and over its affairs dur
ing the absence of the president, and
W. Edwin Florence, of the class of
1885, of New Brunswick, has been
named vice-president.
Dir. Walter T. Marvin, professor of
philosophy, has been appointed dean
of the faculty, to preside at the meet
ings and over its affairs for the com
ing year.
DR.. Louis B%evier, who has been dean
Of the College for the past eight
years, presented his resignation to the
Trustees under advice of his physician
to reduce somewhat the responsible
ties and demands resting upon him.
The resignation was accepted with
resolution of very high appreciation of
the great service given to the College
and to the students during these
years. He will continue to give full
service as Professor of Greek, which
service has been given so efficiently
for many years. Appointment of a
successor to him as dean of students
will probably be made in the near
future.

THE MERRY SUMNER MONTHS

They come; the merry summer months Of beauty, song and flowers;
They come! the gladstone months that bring thick leafness 10 bowers.
Up, up, my heart! and walk abroad; fling cark and care aside;
Seek silent hills or rest thysef where peaceful waters glide;
Or, underneath the shadow vast of patriarchaI tree,
Scan through its leaves the coudess sky in rapt tranquility.
The grass isl soft, its velvet touch is grateful to the hand;
And, like the kiss Of maiden love, the breeze is sweet and bland;
The daisy and the buttercup are nodding courteousy;
It strs their blood with kndest love, to bless and welcome thee:
And mark how with thine own thin Iocks-they now are slvery gray
There is no cloud that sails along the ocean of yon sky,
But hath its own winged mariners to give its melody;
And bark with shril pipe musical, their merry course they hold.
God bless them all! those little ones, who, far above this earth,
Can make a scott of its mean joys, and vent a nobler mIth.
But soft mine ear upcaught a sound-from yonder wood it came!
The spirit of the dim green glade did breathe his own glad name;-
fes, it is he! the hermit bird, that apart from all his kind,
Slow spells his beads monotonous TO the soft western wind;
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! he sings agan-hs notes are void of art;
But simplest strains do soonest sound the deep fOmts of the heart.
Good Lord! it is a gracious boon for thoughtcrazed wight like me,
To such once more in every breath their little souls away,
And feed my fancy with fond dreams of youths bright summer day,
When, rushing forth like untamed colt, the reckless truant boy
WANDERED through greenwoods all day long, a mighty heart of joy!
I'm sadder nOw-I have had cause; but oh! I'm proud to think
Leaf, blossom, blade, hill, valley, stream, the calm, uncouded sky
Still mngle music with my dreams, a in the days gone by.
When summers loneliness and light fall round me dark and cold,
III bear indeed life heaviest curse-a heart that hath waXed old!
William MotherweI, a Scottish Poet and Journalist, was born in Glasgo
October 10, 1877, and died in that city, November l. 1885.

Wide Margin in Sundae

It costs from 31a to 6 cents for the
ingredients composing ar ice cream
sundae that sells anywhere from 10 to
% cents each, according to South Jer-
sey dairymen, who have procured from
the state bureau of markets exact fig
ures obtained by that department in a
recent investigation of the milk pro-
ducers' charges of alleged ~profiteering
by soda fountain and restaurant men.
The dairymen in this section, who are
receiving from 4 to 6R cents a quart
for milk, started the recent nation
wide agitation for cheaper ice cream
dishes by showing that ~exorbitant
prices of ice cream and sundaes, fig

market bureau agents, were checking
