perfences.
Our family were spending part OF the summer at
Bayport Long Island. where we formed some
pleasant acquaIntances- Having been invited TO
attend a boat picnic given by some OF our friends
my TWO sisters and accepted the invitation. an
tclpat1ng a day OF pleasure, and all went to the
beach, across the Great South Bay. We started
from Sayyile in large sailboat which was owned
by captain who lived us. The day proved
clear and breezyjust lovely for a sail After sail
ing along for about half hour chatting pleas
antly and having merry time. we reached a place
where the water was shallow. and the captain pro-
posed that We remain there until after we had
imprOvised table, where we had a spread - which
was enjoyed by every one. When all were through
eating the captains mate rowed US up to the shore
As soon as all were landed some went 20 gather
beach plums some went bathing IN the surf and
some walked TO Water Island which was about five
miles from our landing place. About o'clock all
the people were together again and we helped our
selves TO plenty of large beach plumS In a little
while all got on board the ship and ate our sup
per, which served in the same manner as our
lUrcheon had been. After the supper had been
cleared away the captain set sail for home. The
best part of the trip, moonlight sail, had now
come (at least thought SOY. We sang told rid

sailing home. The captain landed US safely

A PRIZE STORY,

The tolls Of the day over and the stable

''Well,'' said old Jerry to the big gray draft
horse in the next stall, this has been the hardest
days toll have had to do. I could scarcely
stand my feet. and thought I should die before
finished that last field Of ploughing"
Old Gray gave long. loud whinny, as much
as to say: You lazy fellowP' but the pitiful sigh
OF Jerry as he finished. made him inquire into the
reasons for this sad condition of his new friend.

farming and heavy work. but fear my life will
be short IL this is kept up many days, for I was
never used to being driven with a whip. When
was young had mate that matched me exactly,
and with glittering harness every afternoon we

The death of Senator German has
removed from the political rostrum
on Of the most conspicuous figures of
modern politics. For a quarter Of a
century he welded Unlimited power
in his native state, naming governors,
congressman, postmasters, etc. His
methods at times may have been ques.
tionable, but taking his life as a
whole it ranks fayorably with those
who have spent their lives IN the field
of American politics. The democratic
parey, of which Senator German was
one Of ITS chiefs, has suffered irrepar-
able loss in his death. That he will
be greatly missed in the senate every
body knows. but after oil, 10 matter

profession, no matter how famous ht
