Rowing on the Lake

One summers morning in vacation some
of my friends and / went out rowing. My
father did not think ii was a good day to
go rowing. We answered. Look how nice
and clear il is" He said. That's all right.
| was just trying to play joke on you"
So we started towards the lake. where We
expected to have a fine time.
When We reached the lake II was 10
o'clock. We first rested then each got
into a separate boat and George said
Let US have a race" Then we started
George was ahead when the rest were half
way around and he was always turning
around to see where We were. But all OF
a sudden the boat turned over and as
George was not a good swimmer he dis
appeared One Of the boys watched him
while We ran for help and came back
without any. This boy that watched him
could swim and dive very well. He per-
suaded US to go in after George or leave
him go. At once he was in and in a
minute was up with George. But, alas
for George was no more.
Two boys ran home and told his father
Who came at once with a carriage and
took us home.
Since then we have never gone on the
lake TO race in rowboats.

ZANE faculty with which Owen
a-Slaivin was blessed was the
W happy knack of sleeping where
and when and for what length
of time he chose. If Owen came III
from his days work with a Keen ap-
petite for his supper and round that
the pratie pot did not yet show signs
of boiling-found that the white
horses" were not in it-"Why," he
would say to Peggy, "Tll just bah an
eve till they're ready for teemin," and,
sitting on his creepie stool, to the one
side of the fire, he would simply bow
his head and sleep soundly and re-
freshingly for the five minutes or the
ten minutes (as the case might be)
which were to spare before his serv-
ices were requisitioned to link off the
big pot and TEEN it from the doorstep.
The Bummadier prophesied that when

and the priest were standing by his
bedside watching for the dread mo-

how many minutes they thought he
had. and forthwith proceed to .'bab an
eye" for the allotted time.
And though we youngsters were
amused at Owens power of falling
asleep and keeping SO, in the most
awkward position and under the most
unfavorable conditions, it was by
times aggravating. When we were in
the humor for hearing one of the many
brilliant stories, both traditional and
made to order, that Owen could recite
so raciiy, and when Owen, to our JOY.
had consented to "reharSe us a rattlin
good yarn" and we therefore had
quieted down from our frolics and
drawn the circle close around Owens
hearth fire (each upon his launches
upon the clay foor), supporting our
back by clasping our hands around
our knees, it was just then a trifie try
ing to find that Owen had been seized
with with the bright idea of "babbing
an eye" whilst we settled ourselves.
But-Owen's story was always worth
waiting for, as witness this one:
At the time that good Sent Pathrick
