coachman.
1.-The roller driver did not seem to be any
more impressed by the Secretary request than
would be able to move in 10 or Is minutes
To which the Secretary added:
But my good man, have only got IL
minutes to catch my train, and if you DOM
move on very soon will miss it," The roller
driver still did not see the necessity of giving
way to the Secretary of the Navy, and replied
that he was filling his machine boiler with
water, and until it was full he did not intend
to move off the bridge.
''The Secretary, finding the way blocked,
ordered his coachman to turn and drive to the
station by another but longer road. This was
done, but the Secretary arrived at the station
after his train for Washington had passed on
its way, and he had to wait for another to
arrive"
Two Baltimore County Men.-Frequently
one hears the question "What kind of man
is Hershey?" referring to the law partner OF
Mr.. Robert Grain, says the Baltimore NeWs.
Briefly, Omer f. Hershey is an active, hard
working, retiring man who looks after the in
side business ofthe firm. while the jovial Bob
Grain is the outside mixer. He is Harvard
graduate and is essentially student. He gives
his personal attention to the large Office prac-
tice of Crane & Hershey, and is not very often
seen at the trial table, but still there are ex-
ceptions. As one of counsel for General Tyner
in the Postoffice prosecution a few years back,
Mr.. Hershey by his logic and powerful argu.
ment made national reputation among law
yers. His client, as is generally known, was
acquitted. Mr.. Hershey's an athlete and is
fond of out.of.door sports. He drives good
team and is great horseback rider. At his
home at Mount Washington-one of the most
beautiful places in that section Of Baltimore
county-he has one of the best libraries to be
found in the State. He is a "bookish" man.
The announcement of the marriage in Rio
de Janeiro on June 9th of Miss Helen Iglehart
and Mr.: Harry" G. Brogden is the sequel to a
pretty little romance. Mr.. Brogden, who is
one of the large family of Brogdens, in Long
Green Valley. began his business career in the
Office of Messrs. Theodor G. Lurman & Co.,
coffee importers in this city. Then he went to
Chicago. Later he accepted the position of
agent at Rio for one of the largest coffee roast.
ing concerns in the world, with headquarters
in the Windy City. Before he went West and
to Rio Harry" Brogden's romance had begun.
The attachment was mutual and increased in
proportion to the distance that separated the
couple. His duties were such that he could
not return for his bride. Her loyalty was of
the right kind. Properly chaperoned, she went
to Rio and clergyman closed the chapter.
The ocean liners are now carrying congratula-
tions from hosts of Baltimore friends.
Chickens Working for Missionary So
ciety.-Mr. John G. Herman, who was for
seven years superintendent of Eutaw Street
M. E. Sunday school in Baltimore and who is
an energetic worker in the church and man
with a head for schemes in promoting this
work, has organised the chickens in the neigh
borho0d of Wesley M. E. Church, near Sykes
vile, Carroll county, into missionary society
to raise funds to aid the church: Each hen is
q lay member, so to speak, and the farmers of
the neighborhood agree to turn over to the
church each and every egg that their hens lay
on Sunday, and only those laid on this day.
The eggs are to be taken to the church each
Sunday afternoon at the hour of the Epworth
League meeting and placed in basket which
will be stationed at one side of the pulpit Mr..
Herman will then stamp each egg with the
date on which it is laid, and will, on the fol-
lowing day take them to Baltimore with him.
He has agreed to realize 2 cents on each egg, no
matter what may be the market price Of the
same.
Mr.. Herman a short while ago took his
family to Carroll county, he going up every
Saturday evening and returning on Monday
morning. During this time he has become in
terested in the work up there and, finding that
the church was sadly in need of funds, devised
the chicken method of raising money, to which
the farmers who were members of the congre-
cation readily agreed. He said:
II suppose l will have no trouble in getting
the agreed amount on these eggs, but hope
that will find ready market for them when
people learn that they are fresh eggs, and this
will be borne out by the fact that the date will
be stamped on EACH"
At Last Something Sensible from the
P. o. Department.-The Postmaster. General
has issued an ORDER to go into effect August LIST,
resembling the regulation under which patrons
of rural mail routes are compelled to purchase
boxes from one of the 200 listed manufactures,
who have put on the market 300 different
styles of boxes, approved by the department,
costing from 80 cents to 81 each. Patrons of
rural routes will be permitted to construct their
own boxes, provided that in doing so they con-
form to the requirements of the department
as to size, durability, safety and protection
from the inclemencies of the weather. In order
to maintain the Government protection of the
mail placed in rural boxes the patron must
secure the approval of the postmaster for the
office which serves the route and paint on the
box the words Approved by the Postmaster
General"
