Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
lived quite contentedly in Farmer
Browns corncrib for a while. They
we're sure that never in all the Great
World had there been two such rich
Meadow Mice before. There. was so
much corn that if they should eat
they couldn't eat it all up, even
though they should live to be twice
as old as most Meadow Mice get to
be. SO they looked forward to
: winter without a worry of any kind.
Then one day Farmer Browns boy
moved the board by which they got
in and out Of the corncrib, 1t hap
pened that both OF them were OF
home at the time, They didn't
know what had happened until

he said, "but really now In this day

amazing In the idea OF divorce as a
remedy for two unhappy mar
riages?"
Now I had my own secret con-
Nctions concerning divorce, but !
had no intention of airing them for
Hal Meredith's benefit, especially as
I knew that his vanity would like
nothing better than an argument in

me. But had an arrow worth two

There Is nothing amazing at all

my establishment is aroused at your

The question was disconcerting,
and Billy instinctively quailed I'M

"W-o-r-k-i-n-g," spelled Con-
stance coldly. What was the last,
Mr. Hedgc?"
She smiled up at the efficiency

he answered. Then, turning to
Billy: Your sister has taken up
her sccrctarial work in a most ad-
mirable spirit. May ] ask when you
will assume your clerkship?"
The question was brutal, not be-
cause it involved work. but for the
reason that it suggested COMPARE
son. A secretary may be a very i'm
portant person. Presidents of the
United States have secretaries, who
are commonly more important
than cabinet officers. If they were
not, they would be abolished. A
clerk may also be important, but
the title lacks something. There is
nothing robust or dignifed about
it. Secretary Jones" is a person

insipid as warm water. CLERK

large, beefy, and belligerent, with
an intellect Of suitable proportions.

Billy faced about and Hurried
from the room. He paused in the
hall and drew a deep breath. The
Brooke family was disgraced!
1t did not add to the peace OF
Bilys mind to discover what he
suspected-that, by working. Con-
stance had regained her daily al

Skull PRACTICE
RULE AT CObURN
Since D0WNP0uR
Especial to Kennebec journal,

Waterville. Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Co.
burn football squad has been handi-
capped the past few days because of
the heavy downpour. Rather than
have the squad idle, Coach Haines call
ed the squad together for skull prac-
tice which took place in the Coburn
gym yesterday afternoon.
The indoor practice opened with
Coach Haines distributing rule books
to each member of the squad. At least
40 minutes were used going over the
beginning of the rules. Many questions
were brought up by the boys which
Coach Haines Strengthened out in a
very short and specific manner. In
future rules will be taken up before
each practice until every member of
the squad feels sure of them. After
the rules several formations were
taken up and skull practice commenced
for about 20 minutes. The special
purpose was to acquaint the squad
with the formations so that no time
will be wasted as soon as they are
able to get on the field.
Before dismissing the boys Coach
Haines advised them to take a short
hike, for at least two miles, for the
purpose of keeping in condition. The
entire squad left the gym together
led by Captain Druehl.

DIVIDE FIRST GRADE
NORTH GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Congestion in the first grade at
the North Grammar school is to be
ksened next Monday morning by
dividing the class of SO entering
pupils into two divisions, one to meet
Ii the morning and the other in the
afternoon. The large number OF
children, % of whom have not been
to kindergarten, was decided as too
large for one teacher to handle at
time and it is believed that intensive
work during two periods with
smaller groups of children can &C
eomplish much more than a whole
day with the original number. Miss
Cnra Dow. teacher of the grade at
tae present time, will take charge
Of both the morning and afternoon
sessions.
At the Redington street school a
room has been made ready for an
0tler first grade, to care for the
overflow of the entering class, which
numbered 90. The teacher of the
new grade is to be Miss Irene Bun
Nr Of this city. Miss Bunker is a
graduate Of the Pennington Norma
school where she showed consider
able ability as teacher in the train

serenaded Wednesday evening by
the clerks of the Redington store on
Silver street, where Mr.. Longley is
employed at the cottage where they
are enjoying their honeymoon, at

The affair took place about P. NJ :,
when suddenly the peaceful solitude
of the woods, about the Butler cot
tage, was broken by a thundering
din, not unlike the approach of a
group of Indian warriors.
Unable to secure an avenue for es-
cape the couple were obliged to open
the door, and the noisy party poured
into the small cottage. showering its
occupants with handfuls of confetti
Following this, a pleasant and So

Hampshire will act as Freshman in
struotor. Lowell @. Haines, Pm. b.
from Newton Theological Seminary,
has been secured as Professor OF
Philosophy and Assistant in BlpI-
cal Literature. In the former posi-
tioin he will take the place OF Pres-
ident Roberts who finds the duties
of his office too urgent to allow time
for teaching. In Biblical Literature
he will take charge of one Oh the
courses which has been under the
direction of Prof Newman, who mas
found his classes over crowded. Ed
ward H. Merrill, Colby rs, mas re-
turned as instructor in history. Porl.

ment has returned and will take UP
his duties tomorrow. Much oouot
was held that he would be able TO

bers of the faculty. In the ECO
Monies department Prof. Auhhnger,
head of the Department OF BUSINESS
Administration, has taken the class

Waterville c. Of c..
Seeks Better Train
Service to Boston

With the announcement that the
Boston and Maine railroad will, on
September 81, institute the Pine
Tree" express which will run daily
to and from Boston in running time
of two hours and 40 minutes, inter-
est has risen in this city, as well as
in the other cities of the State, as
to whether or not train VIII be
run through this State so that con-
nections with the Pine Tree" can
be made at Portland.
A few days ago the Waterville-
Winslow Chamber of Commerce be-
came interested in the matter and
the secretary of the Chamber, Mrs.
Florence NJ. Wallace, has written a
letter to the general passenger agent
of the Maine Central, telling him
of the sentiment of the people of
this section of the State and ex-
pressing a hope that arrangements
can be made whereby a fast, COM
Portable train can be put on the road
so that Waterville peoples trips to
Boston will be made quicker and
more convenient.
The pine Tree is to leave Port
land each morning at 6 o'clock and
it will be in Boston at 1910. At the
present time there Is a train leav-
ing this city for Portland at $40 and
it is felt that if the schedule of this
train could De put ahead about half
an hour and speeded up a connection
could easily be made with the ex-
press.
In the afternoon the train leaves
Boston at 400 and will be in. Port
land at Z. BY time tables in vogue
now there is no train that leaves for
the East which makes connection
with the proposed express and it
would be necessary to put on anoth-
err train.
