Meanwhile the couple stood before

nave the ceremony performed without

While all of this had been go;ne

HARMONY AT LAST.

There was politician in a prehistoric
age,
Who said the other fellows filled his soul
with righteous rage
He vowed the man who StrOve against
his party was a Ounce;
He said he wanted harmony and wanted
it at once.
So he made his little programme which
he pointed to with pride.
He said that its advantages could never
be denied
And when somebody limited that its lines
were too severe,
By way of discipline he plugged the
critic with spear.
He said he hoped they'd mention any
flaws they CHANGED to find;
He was ready to debate them in liberal
frame Of mind;
But loyalty complete he'd suffer no one
to relax.
If anyone objected, he was smitten with
an ak.
And presently he looked about and scat
tered DER the plain

never kick again.

The Mamie is sloop-rigged yacht,
forty-three feet over all, with beam
of thirteen. Although not so hand
somely appointed as in the days when
she was first commissioned, she is
comfortably equipped. What she lacks
in cabin adornment she makes up
in strength and steadiness. She has
sailed in all kinds of weather and rid
den out many storm. About fifteen
years ago she weathered a storm in
which many bigger boats went down
or were driven ashore. The log of that
voyage, kept by her captain, Harry
Cappelin, as stout a sailor as ever trod
a deck, reads like one of w. Clark
RusselPs romances, For twelve hours
the tiny skiff was buffeted by the
waves, her passengers being made fast
to the rigging and the crew working
like Trojans. Finally she succeeded in
making the port of Holland, many of
whose Inhabitants had gathered on the
pier to watch the struggle of the yacht
impossible that she could ever reach
it in safety. When the captain brought
her in on the crest of tremendous

into commission to carry pleasure to
all the friends of her genial owner,
and, even though she may be the oldest
yacht on the lakes, she may still be
able to throw towing rope" to many
of the newer and more pretentiouS
pleasure craft. She is the best of the
local yachts and is known in every
port along the lakes as the representa-
tive of yachtsmen in Kenosha. How
ever, there is one particular that will
give the boat a unique distinction, and
that is the fact that she is sailed and
captained by an octogenarian.
Another character closely connected
with the Mamie is john the Nor
wegian sailor who captained the yacht
for several seasons. He is now mate
on the Alice, a fast lake schooner, and
whenever his ship is in port he goes
over to look at the Mamie and tells
wonderful stories of the days he ssfl-s
