He was charged with writing and privately circulating a fly-sheet entitled "The Necessity of Atheism," and the college records show that he was expelled for "contumaciously refusing to answer question" and for "repeatedly declining to disavow" the authorship of the offending document Nor is this the end of the list of unruly poets who have come into contact with the ruling powers of Bchool and college. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the author of "The Ancient Mariner," left Jesus College in a great hurry, before his time was nearly finished and without taking his degree.

Various reasons have been given for this sudden departure, but none of them very satisfactory. The case of his son, the brilliant, amiable Harley, who had been brought up mainly in the family of Southey at Greta Lodge, Keswick, and who now lies side by side with Wordsworth in Grasmere churchyard, was far more tragical. He worked hard at Oxford for a long time, but was very much disappointed at his failure to capture the Newdigate prize. Then the seductions ot Oxford wine parties proved too much for him and he began to go down the hill. However, he won a fellowship at Oriel, and his friends, who loved him dearly despite his weaknesses, hoped for the best.

"In the direction of Mlawa some German advance columns again attempted to cross our frontier. "Between the lower Vistula and the Pilica Rivers during the night and all through the day of December 22 the Germans concentrated their efforts in an endeavor to force their way across the Bzura and Rawka Rivers, in the districts of Mistrgewice and Bolimovo and reach Skierniewice. We succeeded, however, in repulsing the enemy everywhere beyond these rivers on his former positions and Inflicted upon him enormous losses.

That the attacks launched yesterday by the allies in Belgium were easily repulsed by the Germans; that the French troops are showing greater activity in the vicinity of Camp de Chalons, and 1 hat the French forward movements in the vicinity of Sillerie, Rheims, Souain and Perthes, have been partly repelled, were the features of the announcement issued today by the, German army headquarters. A report from German army headquarters in the field states that a German attack has been made in the eastern war arena, but whether the operations were directed against the Russian rear or main line is not stated.

And yet the common practice in our tobacco fields is to pile them in heaps exposed to the weather and then burn them.

It does not matter so much how men vote, as it does that they go out and vote, for if they will take the pains to do that they will take some pains t-J inform themselves about the best way to vote and almost any way of voting Is better than the utter neglect of the franchise, of which so many well meaning citizens axe guilty. i asked how much it would cost to hire a horse to eo to Woodland.
