That Hole in the Rock

nat OOlt W lUb NUN
Have you seen the hole in that
large rock just above Brandywino
bridge?" asked friend of the Way
farer several days ago. 81 have no.
ticed it for several years, and am anx-
ious to know if the water has worn it,
or if It was cut by hand"
The Wayfarer had not seen the rock,
so one day while the water in the creek
was low. he walked along the creek
bank to get a look at it. He found it
Just above the bridge. It is a large
rock with a hole in it the size Of a
mans head. No explanation as to the
presence Of the hole could be obtained
from any person in the neighborhood,
so the Wayfarer sought out Amos c.
Brinton for information on the sub
iect
What Mr.. Brinton does not know
about Brandywine rocks is not worth
knowing, and he explained that this
particular one. back in 1909, served as
an anchor for a guide chain which
held taut the chain bridge which
spanned the creek at that time. The
hole in the rock was cut by hand. and
tho chain fastened under it It did not
answer the purpose intended, how
ever. for in 1922 the Brandywine was
transformed into a torrent by the win
ter storms. and chain and bridge were
torn away like so much rope and rub
bish.
Tho old anchor stone lies on the
lcreek's bottom today and it will re-
main there. doubtless, for all time

So Mikel he worked
AT the orators art;
lie learned Noah Webster,
They tell me, by heart
And Appleton's Encyclopedia
In part
At least that's
The story that's told me.
He read about Caesar
And Themistocles.
And Nero and Judas
He dotted on these
And even old Pliny
And Thucydides,
So after awhile
He grew erudite
Crhat means having knowledge
That's just out OF sight,
And able to prove that wrong
May be right.
At least. it meant that \
To our MileL
He iourneyed one day
To tho home OF DUPONT
Some distance removed
From the town OF Claymont,
And there talked a spell,
AS Milkel is wont,
The Colonel grew sleepy,
And then grew amazed,
And after a time.
Tie said. he grew dazed
At the torrent Of words
Mikel uttered.
He talked to the Colonel
A week, so they say.
(Tt might have been less
BY an hour or day.
But then I am certain
Twas days, anyway
So the Colonel he gave him
An office. he did.
For doubtless he thought
It was we'll TO get rid
or the voice Of the pleader-
And then went and hid.
And thus he had peace
A fortnight.
He served for a year.
Or q may have been two.
Then pray what did Mikel,
Tho erudite do?
Ho put of the old
And he put on the new.
He talked all the day
And he wrote all the night,
To prove what was black
Was a pretty good white
When looked at, you know,
In the best sort OF light;
For Mikel. You see.
Was a sophist
So Mikel progressed
Till one bright summer day,
He found himself dining
At great Oyster Bay.
Where the President hardened
While Mike had his say.
For Mikel Grated
With never a pause;
The music kept time
To the click OF his jaws;
H0 talked on. no matter
How hungry he was.
Because twas his nature
To do it.
The dinner Is ended:
The lights have burned low,
But still Mikel fingers.
Nor offers TO go;
He's charmed with the sound
or the musical flow.
The host stirs at last.
And awales with a start:
He rises and bows.
With his hand on his heart.
And Mikel perceives
He had better depart
And come back to the
Town where we know Kim.

They laid him TO rest

Men Guests at Weddings Wear Semi

The canary coIored kid glove is worn

but the frock coat and top hat have seen
their day at weddings, except for tne
Immediate attendants and the bridegroom.
Nearly all the men who 90 to SUBURBAN
weddings or even to those in town at
this season wear either Panama or stin-
brimmed straws. Blue flannel or serge
are the favorite materials for the semi
sack semi -cutaway coats which form part
of the suits worn on all formal occasions

for four-in-handr ties, especially in black.
These have the meshed or basket weave
effect. and are very Marcy. ., Inc tls
which fits In the space of the all-around
rundown collars at the collar button. All
turned collars are made With rounded cor
ners @ s,-t
shirtihgs in light bun. These shirtings
are made with pieats and wide stripe
down the center, where the buttons are.
There seems to be decided turn for solid
colors rather than for figured goods. Ths
light buff shirts are quite, effective with
black tier. SS
And vet there are very few club ties
offered, and IL would seem as II the Iour-
in-hand will be the tie OF the summer.
There are some foulards in sage green,
with yellow or red disks on them: They
resemble somewhat the charts made by
scientists who want to prove that there
are millions of bacteria in drinking wa

stagnant pools.

REGULARS NOT COMING
GOVERNOR couNTERMAEDs RE-
QUEST TO WAR DEPARTMENT.
Regulars Could Not Reach Birming
ham Early Enough and Besides
Their Coming Would Have
Entailed Heavy Expense.

Alabama Cavalry will have to do with
out the beneflt Of association with resn-
lar troopers at the forthcoming encamp-
ment near Birmingham. ~
On account Of the very heavy expense
that would have beea incurred mad the
regulars. troop Of the It'll Cavalry now
a. Chickamauga. come down s on the
march to the Alabama camp, the Cover
nor yesterday countermanded the request
for them. ~
Had the Governor not decided to ceun-
termand the request for this troop, IL
would have been Wednesday or Thursday
before the regulars could have arrived,
for they would have had to march from
Chickamauga Park to the camp at Bir-
bingham.
The camp Of the Cavalry begins next
Monday. - -
Besides the delay that would have
been occasioned in the coming Of this
troop OF regulars. the expense would
have been somewhere near thousand
dollars. The Governor did not think that
their association with the troops Of tho
Alabama National Guard would warrant
the expenditure of that amount, and
herce he sent In the countermand.
Before 1t was known that the regulars
would not come. former Adjutant-Ge
eral r. F. Lyon said. In speaking Of
the matter: fs.
II see an effort is being made to have
a troop Of United States Cavalry 90 into
camp at Birmingham next week, with
the Cavalry squadron of the Alabama
National Guard. trust this movement
will be successful. 1t win prove Of much
benefit to the Alabama Cayalrymen to
have the regulars In camp with them and
to receive instruction from them In the
routine of camp life. r =,
''The Government. however, seems to
require that the State bear the expense
of transportation and subsistence of the
United States troop while in camp with
the State troops. This IL not as liberal
a policy as was exercised by the Govern
ment some years ago. During my term
as Adjutant- General. / remember In 1881.
at my request. the War Department de-
tailed two companies Of the 9Th Infantey
then station at Fort Mcpherson, Ga, to
Alabama National Guard.
These companies Of the 9TH Infantry
went into camp at the encampments held
at Tuscaloosa and at Mobile and entire
ly without cost to the State; the Gov
eminent furnished transportation and
subsistence for the regulars during the
entire time. The object lesson and in
struction given by the regulars while In
camp was of great benefit to the Ala
bama National Guard.
st hope the War Department will be
equally as liberal now and send the troop
of the 7th Cavalry to Birmingham with
out cost to the State. The appropriation
for encampnient purposes made by the
State is hardly suficient to cover the ex-
penses Of the State troops"
