An impossible Task.

The pitiable mortal who spends his days

manner OF living according to health

find himself standing on shifting sands
and discover that he can't keep up with
the rules, because they change so rapidly.

breathe pure air, eat plain and well-cooked
food and not fill the stomach too full OF 1t

Cole Family Reunion.

PROSPECT HARBoR, Sept. 2 especially
The descendants of Abijah Cole, his re-
lations-in- and invited guests met in
ing In Sorrento, Aug. 81.
Mr.. Downing's home, located on hill,
made most picturesque spot for such
q gathering. The scene from his home is
unrivaIled for beauty and was memoir
able feature OF the days pleasure. A
bountiful dinner was served at noon be-
meath the shade of the woods, where the
aroma of the pine trees mingled and
where restful pleasure was obtainable.
Dinner disposed of, the guests wandered
at will over the farm. The orchard, the
cider house and other interesting spots
were visited, while some preferred the
restful quiet of the grove, where older
members of the family recalled their
youth amid these scenes, and
''Once more upon that hillside,
Life is all holiday"
The ce-president, Melville Cole, called
the company to order for necessary BUSH
ness, and the records OF the reunion OF

The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Melville
Cole; vice. president, Bryant E. Moore
secretary, Mrs. l.. P. Cole; treasurer, Miss
Alice NJ. Cole.
Melville Cole gave historical sketch Of
the Cole family. Rev. w. A. Lawton,
who is supplying the church at Prospect
Harbor, spoke in an interesting manner
and concluded with several humorous
stories, putting rybody in a cheerful
mood. Mr.. Downing, w. F. Bruce,
Emerson Cole and Mrs. L. w. Clesves all
spoke, adding much of interest. Singing
concluded the programme.
An invitation was accepted from Mrs.
M. A. Handy, of Prospect Harbor, to
meet with her next year, and the meeting
adjourned until the third Tuesday in Au.
gust, 1902.
Members OF the family who were unable
to be present at this fourth annual meet
ing are to be pitied, but those who could
have gone but did not, should have it
forced upon them that they have missed
one Of the most enjoyable days in their
experience. Mr.. Downing and his wife
did much by their cordial welcome and
thoughtful attention to make the day a
memora bic one.
There were thirty eight members of the
family present, most of them from Pros
pect Harbor.

Since Skip has worn the diamond ear

has scarcely tolerated the little Dutch

Captain Phoenix conceived the idea OF
decorating the yachts fayorite mascot

little dogs ears with a gold needle and
inserted a waxed silk thread. AT the end

what Roy Could Do.

The other day, during the process Of
housekeeping, it became necessary for
the piano to be moved from one room to
another in a Columbus home, says the
Ohio State Journal. which feat of
strength was undertaken by the mother
and father of little Roy, aged 5. The
piano was very heavy, and as Roy stood
aside and watched he heard his father
grunt repeatedly as he pushed the cum
bersome instrument over the floor. When
they had stopped at the doorsill, Roy
rushed manfully in and began pushing
alongside his father. His father instant
ly commanded him to go away, saying:
"Get out Of the way, Roy. You can't
help us any"
Il c'udn't push much" said Roy as he
retreated with look of disappointment
on his face, ''but | bet / c'u'd help you

PROTESTED YACHT RACE.
Capts. Sowie and Lord Present Their
Sides of the Case.


sides of the Case.
As stated in THE AMERICANS report of
the yacht race last week, B. T. Sowle, OF
the sloop "Wave Crest", claimed foul by
F. =. Lords schooner "Lorelei". Capt.
Sowle, of the "wave Crest", took excep-
tions to The AMERICANS report of the
race, which credited the race to the
'Lorelei".
The position OF THE AMERICAN in its
report of the case may be briefly stated.
The race was boat for boat, time allow
ance being waived and no time being
taken of each boat at start or finish. 1t
was get away as soon as you could after
the starting gun, and the boat that got
home first won. OF course, general racing
rules were to govern, but quibbling over
technicaiities In race of this kind Is alb
surd.
The "Wave Crestn was first away; the
hoASicA was SSSoh0. Anc LoiciSi
finished first. Boat for boat, fouls not
taken into consideration, the "Lorelei"
outsailed the "Wave CREST. But Mr..
Sowle protests the race. The judges
make no decision; in short, they ignore
the protest so far as any official recogni-
tion OF it is concerned. Under these
circumstances THE AMERICANS report
crediting the race to the "Loreiei'' was
justified. Until the judges take some
official recognition OF the protest, the
race must stand as finished-"Lorelei"
first, "Wave Crest" second.
There is good reason to believe that IL
the judges took the protest under con-
sideration, and officially heard both sides
it would result in disqualifying both
'tLorelei" and "Wave CREST, in which
event the race would go to the Rambler,
but the owners OF the Rambler" have
made no protest, and show no desire to
claim the race on technicalities.
Without going into the circumstances
of the fouls claimed, THE AMERICAN
presents the statements Of both Capts.
