As we announced last week, Arbor ent, K. O. T. M., has taken possession of the entire upper Hoor of the postoffice block. This week, men are en;aged in tearing out the partition walls and getting jt n shape to make one of the finest halls in this section of the state. The main assembly hall will be40by 60 feet in size, well vĂ©ntilated, and with high and airy ceilings. Back of this will be ante and property rooms, reception and committee rooms, and kitchen, closets, etc. iioth hot and cold water will always be in abundance, there being two large tanks for the purpose immediately under the rear roof. The entire building will be heated by steam, and it is saf to say that Arbor tent will have as convenient a home as any society hereabouts. Negotiations were commenced last spring to procure this deshable place, and Mr. Beal, the owner, succeeded in vacating all but two suits of rooms, which were held under lease until this month. It seems that one large, front room was occupied by two students, who apparently did not like the idea of giving up their comfortable quarters, so they expressed their feelings as follows on one of the large window panes, using as a pencil, a piece of soap: In these rooms we've lived in comfort and in ease, We've studied early, late, and as we please, We've had steam heat, hot water, fun free from bugs and Ă¼ees, But now we must give way to the - Maceabeea. We let our neighbors' l'riends alono, also their little tune, Wedidn'tcare a whlz, we thought we'd stay tillJune: But while on earth the soil we are "aboon" 'Twill unake our backs ache to hear Old Beal croon. We canie with #ood inteutions, we tried to act lt fair, But since they've come to drive us, we'U say 01 r little prayer : Oh Lord, remember thy people good, Kemember the bond and free. And when Thou at lasr haat reuienibered all nrnund; Thcn d the Maccabee.
