The Hon1e.Made Wedding.

Me fur the homemade weddin'; the good,
old-fashioned. kind,
Where love an hope, an not splendor,
are .uppermost In the mind;
Where there's ies' the family preacher
the one we have known fur years;
Some honestly spoken God bless you's,"
some smiles an perhaps some tears.
Where every word OF the service has a
meaning that's deep an true,
An a promise is made that is strong
enough to last fur whole life
through;
Where there amt no sneerin' envy that
smiles an mocks an pretends;
Where the flowers are the simple SOFT
that bloom in the sunshine of home
an friends.
When Mandy and me was marrled-the
time is years away;
Yet the memory Of 1t stands as clear as
if it was yesterday.
There wasn't no crowd in waitin' to see
as as we went past.
It was jes' homemade weddin' that
was guaranteed to last,
There wasn't no pomp an glitter. The
presents was rather few.
But we spoke from our very inmost
hearts when We uttered the words
IT do
An the skies was blue an happy, an the
light that shines in the skies
Is no more constant from year to year
than the love In 'Mandy's eyes.

Many merchants and manufacturers
whose places of business were swal-
lowed up in the connagration have
signed contracts for rebuilding and
there are Oh. all sides the greatest
signs Of activity in this respect. All
are simply waiting for the city to clear
the streets of debris and give permis-
sion to the owners of the ground to
take possession. The matter of accept
ing aid from other cities, has not yet
been finally decided upon, according to
Mayor McLane. The fire did not reach
the residential section of the city and
there is no actual destitution at this
time. The Indications are that the citl-
zens of Baltimore will be fully able to
take care Of all cases Of want that
might present themselves. The mayor
feels grateful for the many proffers Oh
aid from the citizens Of this country
and from foreign lands.

Floating Derrick Hercules Breaks
Loose in Navy Yard.

New York. Dec. PA panic prevailed
when the 100 ton floating derrick Hercules
broke loose in the navy yard basin and
threatened serious damage to some of the
finest ships Of the navy. 1t was finally
secured, but not before it had crashed into
the battle ship Texas and smashed sew
grim old ing liter so that it will have to go
into drydock for repairs
A fierce squall struck the basin and the
Hercules was seen to be in trouble. 1t
was lying alongside the Connecticut, de-
livering armor under direction of the der
rick master, Mr.. Melville. 1t was secured
to the Connecticut'S red sides with five
cables. Its great iron crane was swinging
high in the air.
Suddenly one of the forward ropes un-
Ger the strain from the sQuau snapped
with a loud report. 1t swung around then
enough for the wind to catch it broadside
and in a moment the other four ropes
parted. it was then at the mercy of the
wind and tide and rapidly orifted away
from the Connecticut and up the Wall

Signals we're run up. whistles blown
and telephone bells were ringing all over
two navy yard tugs to capture the der
rick. Directly across from the Connecti-
cut, moored against the Cob dock, was
the battle ship Kentucky
Just west of it was the Illinois. Both
of these vessels were safe, for the wind
and tide swept the derrick straight up to-
ward the Texas, which was lying about
200 yards east of the Connecticut. Further
up the Wallabout bay, beyond the Texas,
were lying the Tacoma and the Mime
apolis, the latter having just been I'M
