awaiting transportation across the
kennebec. and at $50, 1Of cars. The
cars stood along Commercial. Vine
and Washington streets. 1t was the
frst day of the new system of SELL
ing tickets on shore instead of on
the boats. Policemen informed the
motorists of the new ruling. and in
many cases the line was held up be-
cause of this.
Under the old system it was pos-
slble Tor the ferryboat, Governor
klng to make five trips every hour.
Under the new three trips was tho

tomobiles in II hours. an average of

Many of Little Jack Rabbits
friends lived in the Old Duck Pond
chief among whom were Grand
daddy Bullfrog, Teddy Turtle ana
Peter Pickerel. Perhaps the ola
gentleman frog was the bunny boys
best friend, for Teddy Turtle had
way of swapping at people and Peter
Pickerel a habit of swallowing httle
folks in his big, long mouth. or
course neither would think OF harm-
ing the little rabbit; he was mucn
too big a mouthful for fish ana
too clever to get in the way or Teddy
Turtles darting head. Yes, sir, that
old turtle had way of darting out
his head and swapping hold OF any
one who bothered him.
One day as the little bunny boy
was hopping up the Old Cow Path,
his knapsack bouncing UP and down
on his back and his red-striped
candy cane swinging from his left
paw, he noticed Professor Jim Crow
flying in circles around the Old
Duck Pond.
Wonder what's the matter?"
thought the curious little rabbit, and
away he hoped, clipperty clip. lip
perty lip across the Sunny Meadow.
AS he drew nearer he heard the old
crow shouting excitedly, Let him
go! Let him go."
Dear me-" gasped the bunny boy
what is the matter?" and he hoped
along even faster than before until,
all out of breath, he stood under the
Weeping Willow Tree whose long,
slender branches dropped almost
into the quiet water.
Something dreadful is going on
whispered pretty Mrs. Oriole from
her stocking-like nest. Professor
Jim Crow has been shouting Let
him go.' for the last ten minutes"
Just then the excited old blackbird
settled near the tall reeds that stood
tiptoe in the water close to the
bank.
Let him go! Let him co." he
shouted, with a great Tapping of
wings. With hop-tee-idy the little
rabbit landed by his side. Right
there, close at hand, stood Teddy
Turtle with Little Long Bill Wren's
wing held tightly In his mouth.
Let him go. Let him co." again
shouted Professor Jim Crow. and

In the fall Of 1920, compulsory
athletic instruction was incorporated
into the regular gymnastic training
of the cadets. 1t has been said OF
this system of compulsory athletic
training, that is is probably the
most pretentious and comprehensive
in the world, and certainly, so far
as results are concerned, the most
successful course of physical train
ing obtainable' During his four
years while at the academy, every
cadet is required to participate IN
every one of the prominent athletic
activities, such athletic instruction
being on par with the military In
struction.

There can be doubt about it-Jacoby hanged
himself, metaphorically. Whenever the police had
any need for coroboratve detail of his story he gave
1t without the slightest hesitation and apparently
without realizing the probable consequences.
He described the hammer with which he COM
mitted the dreadful deed, and when several ham,
mers were put before him he at once picked out
which he had previously said bore dent upon it, and
which he said he had washed after the murder. And
when this hammer came to be examined it was
clearly seen to carry human bloodstains.
Nevertheless, there were many who held that the
boy at the time he committed the crime was incapable
of forming any intention, and struck at the woman
in sheer terror. If this were he should have been
