MAUD MULLER.

MAUD MULLER.
IT a. D. in Catholic Standard. }
Maud Muller on a summers day
Fared forth upon the links to play.
She was as fair as fair could be
And hoped to catch the gallery.
The gallery was there in force,
Each member being Judge, of course.
And every Judge in all that swarm
Made comments on each players form.
All which thrilled Maudie through and
through,
Her form was fine; she knew 1t. too
SO when she sought the teeing- green
She bore herself quite like a queen.
Alas, her form" was not the kind
The various judges had In mind.
She looked real cute" when teeing off,
But that's not everything in golf.
Melodiously warbling: "Fore"
Her driver high aloft she bore.
And then for all that she was worth
She swung 1t downward to the earth.
Great clods of earth to heavenward flew;
She'd snapped her driver right in two
The ball untouched. another stick
She grabbed and tried a second lick.
Again in vain! And then, egad!
She busted every stick she had.
The saddest words of tongue or pen,
The poet says, are Might have been"
But he was wrong The saddest quite
Are those we dare not speak or write.
Maud being lady knew she ought
Not breathe the vivid words she thought.
Thus as she stood in sorry plight
Forth stepped youth, a gallant wight.
Quoth he: II Judge the thing 10 do
Is just to let me swear for you"
Most noble Judge, pray do" quoth she,
And so he did quite merrily.
Some months thereafter they were wed.
He'd won her love because, she said:
81 never met. l must confess
man with so much thoughtfulness."

The camp meeting is going along in
much the usual manner. The services
from sunrise prayer meeting to the
evening sermon are all interesting, but
the attendance is very small al all but
the evening service
Quite number Of weddings have
occurred on the grounas this season.
Yesterday at the hotel, Rev. Arthur
Merrills. of Wadestown. united in mar
riage of Mr.. Jasper McGivens and Miss
Emma B. Chichester, Of Viola.
Mr.. G. II. Snedeker lost a bunch of
keys on the grounds Sunday. Attached
to the ring was tab bearing his name,
and the finder should have no trouble
returning them to the owner.
The class of children being taught
each day by Miss Mary Scott increases
in numbers each day, the best recon-
mendation tnat can be given as to Miss
SCOTS ability and influence.
The sermons yesterday were by Rev
G. E. Fuller, E. l.. Meadows, C. II.
Moloney and DIR. Rees, and to-day's
services will be conducted in turn by
Rev. F. NJ. Cain. Rev. Powell, of Mar
, tins Ferry, and DR.. Rees.
The children's meeting will be held
at 1880 o'clock.
The annual election of officers of the
Woman's Camp Ground Association
will be held tomorrow afternoon.
Rev. c. H. Molony preached at 2:30
from Rom. 1-16: 81 am not ashamed
fthe gospel Of Christ, for it is the
power Of God unto salvation" The
sermon was thoughtful and manly
defense of Christianity and demon
strated that Brother Molony can preach
as well as sing.
At the close OF the service DR.. Rees
outlined his plan for the future and
and the idications are that the meet
ings will take on more aggressive
tone in the near future.
DR.. Rees is a hustler and don't seem
to care what people think or say, so he
is in the line OF what he considers duty.
At O'Clock Dr. Rees preached a
sermon on the parable of the rich man
| and Lazarus, which was a realistic
| presentation OF the truth of eternal
punishment DR.. Rees does not place
much confidence in the doctrine that
hell has been cut out.
| If all he said Is true and the Bible
Is the authority for his statements, 1t
will be mighty uncomfortable for some
parents whe nthey get to heaven-or
/ elsewhere, and mostly elsewhere.
| At Z p. m, the people began to as
| semble for an outdoor song service
/ reminding very much of the days long
| gone by.

were aboard All had been drinking
some and it did not take long for one
of them to get into a quarrel with a
fellow passenger. William Jones, one
of the party OF four, pulled his re-
volver out and was evidently about to
shoot the other passenger when the gun
went OFF, shooting off one finger from
Jones's hand and passing through the
palm of his hand. His wound is not
dangerous, but he ID quite seriously
hurt. The premature discharge OF his
gun no doubt prevented some one else
from getting shot.

Monday night about midnight when

was employed by John Futhey, the
dairyman at Shady Side. He said that
he had been over the river and was re-
turning with some men in skiff when
they knocked him down and robbed
him OF his money. They then stripped
I'm OF cldeMng and threw him into
the river. He swan ashore and found
refuge from the storm in the waiting
room. Mr.. Cummins furnished him
with a pair of trousers, a shirt and a
blanket. He then brought him to the

Mcdonald. He became officious and
demanded that the officer provide him
with a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes
and a doctor TO dress his injured head,

started for his home at Shady Side,
where he arrived about 3 a. m. The
story of the robbery and assault are
not given credence by the officials.
From appearances the man was drunk

head. In his maudlin state he had
denuded himself. A telephone message

Abhorrent even to the strongest

shall quote n few proverbs current

Twice in his life'is man happy-once when he
marries and once when he buries his wife.
And the woman sings. in the Russian
folksong which have freely trans
lated,
Love true and love quick,
Pull my hair and the stick
Although there are love songs of an
other kind, in which woman is praised
for her charms. she becomes virtually
slave as soon as she marries, and the
little poetry OF the folksong does not
accompany her even to the marriage
altar. She is valued only for the work
she can do in a household and for the
children she can bear, and should this
latter blessing be denied her her lot
becomes doubiy pitiable. and she often
seeks release by suicide.-Outlook.

LINCOLN ADOPTED 1T.
His Famous Phrase. "Of the People,"
Originated by Theodore Parker.


William II. Herndon, Lincoln's law
partner. knew Theodore Parker well
and had much correspondence with
him, and after the Lincoln Douglas de-
bate he came OH to Boston and saw
Parker and other antislavery men with
an eye TO Lincoln's political prospects
Going back TO Springfield. lie took with
him some OF Parker's newer sermons
and addresses. Zone of them" he
says in his Abraham Lincoln" was a
lecture on The Effect of Slavery on
the American People which was de-
livered i'm the Music hall, Boston. and
which 1 gave to Lincoln, who read and
returned IL. He liked especially the
following expression, which he marked
with a pencil and which he i'm sub
stance afterward used i'm his Gettys-
burg address: Democracy is direct self
government, over all the people. by all
the people. for all the people," The
address referred TO OParker's last great
antislavery address, was delivered July
4, 1858.
Here. submit. was the probable orr
gin of Lincoln's phrase. In one variant
or another ID was great fayorite with
Parker. often taking the exact form
that Lincoln gave il. with his sure in
tuition of the best where there was any
choice of words. In a speech delivered
by Parker in 1850 we ind il imbedded
in a passage which might have been
the inspiration of Stewards famous

In two other speeches it stands gov
