He came of the best New England an cestry, tracing his descent in one line back to John Alden and Pric- illa Mullins of the original Ply mouth Colony whose marriage he celebrates in the “Courtship of Miles Standish.” In 1825 he grad uated from Bowdoin in the same class with Nathaniel Hawthorne. In his boyhood he evinced the re finement, the trustworthy, equ able judgment, and the love for the quietly beautiful in literature, which were , his most strongly marked characteristics through life. At the age of nineteen he made a trip to Europe where he studied for three years the French, German, Italian and Spanish languages. His motive for going abroad to study was to fit himself for the position of professor of modem languages at Bowdoin; so in 1829 he returned to America and took the professorship of modern languages at Bowdoin. Two years later, in ,1829, he married Mary Potter. In 1835 he was elected as profes sor of modern languages at Harv ard. Before entering upon his new duties he wen! abroad to ]per- fect his knowledge of the Teutonic languages. His wife went with him and died at Rotterdam in 1835. In 1836 he came back to America and settled at Cambridge. In 1843 he made his third voyage to Europe; and in the same year married Frances Appleton. . He published in 1839 a romance “Hyperion” a small volume of poems. Between this time and 1847 he published other poems. In 1847 he published his great poem “Evangeline.” Finally, in 1854 he resigned his position of professor in order to have more time for his literary activity. He was suc ceeded by Lowell. Longfellow re mained the first literary figure in America until his death- in 1882. He received his L. L. D. degree from Harvard in 1859 and in 1868 from Cambridge, England, and in the same year his D. C. L. degree from Oxford. • His life was disturbed by only one terrible misfortune. In 1861 his wife met a tragic death from the accidental burning of her dress. It was now that Longfellow turned to his translation of Dante’s “Divine Ccmedy” and to other verse nar ratives of the medieval legends. He wrote lyrics, dealing with home ly sentiment, and aspiration; with love and death of common exper- 1 ni gi lt >* and righteousness which was the *them, and practice them wherever underlying principle of his verse.,'you go. , SARA PRICE. | x Capture The Codling Moth CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 17. r - LATIN CLASS ENTERTAINS.

PIG’S PEN x (By Mable Lyon) Elizabeth McAllister: “What would you do if I should burst into tears?” Bill Dowtin: “Hang out a sign —’Wet Paint.’ ” “Coupes” seem to be right pop ular now. Now, boys, if you drive a “coupe” listen to this: “My bonnie bent over the gas tank The height of its content to see, She lighted a match to assist her Oh bring, back my bonnie to me.” A grammar school boy handed in the following composition on “cats”: “Cats that’s meant for little boys to maul and tease is called maultease cats. Some cats is reckernized by how quiet their purrs is and these is named pur- rsion cats. The cats what has very bad tempers is called angora cats, and cats with deep fellings is call ed feline cats. I don’t like cats.” Disgusted Lady: “Does your mo ther know you smoke?” “Nick”: “Does your husband know you speak to strange men on the stredt?” Edward Strom: “I’ve an awful lot of electricity in my hair.” Frances Lee Cowan: “I don’t doubt it. You have such shocking things always on your mind.” these bands to serve as traps. The bands should be examined after 10 days and the worms re moved and killed, this process to continue until larvae are no long er founch in the fall. Prof. Eddy suggests that bands should be made of burlap or sim ilar material, should be about four inches wide, and should be placed around the trunk of the apple tree just below the lowest limbs. There are, he adds, certain commercial paper materials available for use as codling moth bands. tXt Little Talk On Thrift LACK OF THRIFT IN THE FORM OF CARELESSNESS EXACTS HEAVY TOLL OF LIFE AND PROPERTY (By S.

Forest fires are bad not cpiy be cause they destroy timber but oe- oause they denude land which im mediately begins to deteriorate in value. The united States can in afford to lose any of its forests ana it is particularly unfortunate that •these losses occur largely through sheer negiigence. Most forest fires, it has been said, are due to carelessness in throwing iences of men. He was a man of lovable personality, devoted to his home, \ his friends, and his books.

Longfellow’s clientele is j __ larger than that of any other mod ern poet except Burns. Longfellow’s longer poems may be divided into two classes, ac cording to subject matter. The first would include his poems on “There was a young girl named Mabel, That danced on the dining room table; She blushed very red, me~dieval themes:” To these belong Y? 1 ® 11 f said “Chrlstus,” ’’Tale of a Wayside i0h look at the legs 0,1 the table ” Inn,” “The Spanish Student,” and Judus Maccabeus.” The other iivision would contain “Evange- ine,’* “The Song of Hiawatha,” and The Courtship of Miles Standish.” His American poems .“Evange- ine” and “Songs of Hiawatha” /indicate his claims to the name of poet in the sense of «a creator of original and characteristic works of art. “Evangeline” em bodies three contrasts which arc so admirably handled that they rein force each other; first, the con trast between the simplicity and peace of the rural community and Mr. Ellison: “Moggett, are you a newspaper man?” Moffett Young: “Yes, sir.” Mr. Ellison: “I thought so, you come out daily.” Lettio Mae South: wer seen pig wash?” Helen Talbert: “No, een )ig iron.” Have you but I’w Where there’s a wMl there’s a lot >f disappointed relatives. Lillie Mae Robinson: “What is America is paying all too heavily for the vice of carelessness. Most assuredly we need to learn lessons in thrift along these lines. An insurance company which De cently made a study of • acoidents in homes found that they total 3,- i)00,uu0 per year of which 17,000 result in deaths. There is a prop erty loss of close to $500,800,000 yearly due to preventable fires. More than 2,500,000 workers are in jured in industry each year which includes thousands of fatalities and thousands of permanent in juries. The elimination of this tremend ous waste of life, limb and prop erty must rest almost entirely with the individual. The installation of safety devices and the enactment of laws and regulations can only partly solve the problem. Indi viduals must learn more and more the advantage and value of being careful in everything—of not tak ing chances—of keeping their wits about them at alj times—of culti vating constant habits of watch fulness. To do this is a splendid example of thrift. Greenwood Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Greenwood, S. C.
