The Huiuiu?r moons have waxed Wl 4 waned, the ttuuny (luyw and moonlight evenings that they brought, now only live in memory. But memory is entirely our own, we cannot sell It, throw it away or bequeath it to oui dearest friend or bitterest foe. By every thought, word, and deed, wo forge the link* of a chain that is destineed to., bind us forever, either wltth flowry fet ters that we would not throw off If we could. Not all the future holds, not all our ambition hopes, not time nor eternity could buy; as with fet ters of remorse and shame and an guish that we try to break and can not. Memory goes with us all the Way 011 the rugged journey of life. She has the power to turn life's dusty paths Into golden pavements ana the commonest bramble bush Into a magic briar rose. And alas, she can also wave har magic wand over life's feertlle, Verdant fields and make of them an arid desert. She walks by our Hide a ghastly sceptre/ or a happy, smiling com panion and goes with us as we pass the portals of the great Uo yond. And so, at* the summer months have flown oy the links have been forged that bind us for ever to the past. The little god of love haB not been idle we feel assured. He has come off conquer er from many a hard fought field ; ? he has slain his victims at the seaside resorts, and on the flow ery verdant banks of the streams that wind among the Appalachian hills. Ai^d perhapa this mischevouB little god has ever brought his war. fare into our own peaceful domain, and waged his battles and won his victory at the Country Club, Sars fleld, the Saddle and Paddle, the Precipice, and other changing haunts Some of these romances may mature before many more summers have passed, and others unfold as the years go by. And as we Dia good bye to summer, to the clear sweet vesper song of the mocking ' bird, and the plaintive notes of the whip porwill we look up to the new moon hanging like a sliver crescent In the Western sky and wish fori every one a full realization of the bright est hopeH and dreams of the bygone summer. May every pilgrim reach "I^och Maree," and drink of its Waters. ",Oh restless heart and fervered brain; Unquiet and unstable that holy well of Loch Maree. Is more than idle fable, And contests hearts are over it, Go read its legend ? 'trust In God ? On Faith's white stone before it." Attention U. D. C. The John D. Kennedy Chapter, U. D.

During tho paBt year it wbb tried out * seml-offlclally in the assembly halls of several down town schools. The principals have been very enthusiastic In their prais of the, new method of .Instruction. Moving pictures constitute a rec ognized part of the course' of study in the public schools of Thurlngla, Germany, and In Paris. Geography, history and civic are now being taught by this means. The motion picture is able to render the greatest assistance in geography and hlstftry, It is pointed out. The pupl can actually see Nll agara Falls as well as the observer who stands on the bank. He can , see the gondolas moving on the ca nals of Venice, tho street cars and 'bTTsses In London, or the pageantly and pomp of the Durbar .

Just what action our company will take to wards the Camden situation will, of course, rest with the directors. I may say this, however, that before another Ice season* opens, Camden can feel assured of an ample supply of lee of the best quality at all times and at reasonable prices. La ter on, our company will probably enter the gas and electric field, through connections in the Bast. We hope to so conduct our business as to merit the patronage as well as confidence of the public^ It is understood that central of fices for the operating department of the company will open in Colum bia as toon as the necessary quar ters Can be secured.
