The storm is long since over and
we are getting on our sea legs, and
beginning to enjoy the life of our
little ship world. Different clubs
are being organized information,
camera, music, entertainment clubs.
Lectures are given evenings, and re-
ligious services are held Sundays.
The sight seeing will soon begin, as
on tomorrow we come first to land.
For one, love the ocean. Of it
never tire. 1t seems to speak to me.
like to climb to the topmost deck
at sunset and watch nature paint her
fairy scenes in colors of gray and
gold on sea and cloud and sky. 1t
is the time when l love to study the
great deep, and ponder its my steries.
In the restlessness of its waters be-
tween the two great opposing forces
of nature, the rays of the moon
striving to lift it up, and the force
OF eravitation striving to pull it
down, it is kept in a state of constant
commotion. Isaiah said of it: THE
wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest. How can it
be when all heaven is striving to lift
it upward to life, and all hell is
striving to drag it down to death.
There is loneliness at this time
of the day as one looks out upon the
desert of water, yet a loneliness
that enjoy. In the sigh of the
winds and the moan of the waves |
seem to hear every note of harmony
and discord, joy and sorrow, victory
and despair from the mellow melo-
dia to the deep diapason, in the gam
ut of human sound.
We are now just getting in full
swing for delightful cruise. In a
backwoods meeting an old sister got
happy and jumped upon a bench |
and said GLORY! / believe I'll fly"
WELL" said the preacher, ely"
She leaped off and like to have bro
ken her old fool neck. why didn't
you fiy?" the parson asked. She
said Il didn't get the flap" We've
got the flap now that the storm is
over, and we are happy and well.
And is it not the law of life? After
the storm the calm. And so will our
heavenly Pilot bring all who trust
Him through every storm of life to
AXE shelter finally in the heavenly
larbor.

After the program had been COM
pleted the guests were invited down
stairs to a sumptuOus repast which
had been prepared by the Rebekahs.
1t was great spread and was high
ly enjoyed by the 300 people present.
The first call to the table was made
about IL o'clock. The seats at the
table were filled so often that it was
near the wee sma' hours of the
morning before the banquet hall
was entirly deserted.
~
Mr.. Green Champlin made hap
by speech Of welcome on behalf of
the Rebekahs. He has become a
first class speaker on such occasions
and was at his best Thursday night.
He also had charge of carrying out
the program and so we'll did he
manage it that there was not a sim
gle hitch.

Mr.. Harvey Whitfield, of Clarks-
vile, who is very active Odd Eel
low, was present and made a splen-
did little speech. He congratulated
the Rebekahs on what they have
accomplished during the year past
and urged all ladies who are eligible
to membership to lose no time in
joining the ranks of the Daughters
Of Rebekah, who are doing s1ch
great good all over the world.

At the close OF the exercises in the
lodge room Rev. E. H. Bull dis
missed the crowd with an apprO-
pirate prayer.

Some of the Odd fellows claim
that they are the largest secret
society in the city, and their men,
bership is increasing so fast that
during the winter they have had to
hold meetings twice a week.
The Orient" degree is to be put,
on for the benefit of the Woodmen
of the World next Monday night,
This is a side degree of Odd Fellow
ship.
~
DR.. A. P. Lyon was present and
his prayer before the beginning of
the exercises was most appropriate.
-
The Odd Fellows are justly proud
of their handsome three-story build
ing which is valued at S25, 900 and is
paid for with the exception of about
$1,000. This debt will be liquidated
in short time. They have had a
very fine offer for their property
but declined to sell it, as they know
they have a good thing.
Mr.. Green H. Champlin is chair
man of the board of trustees
Messrs. George E. Randle and L. E.
Fowler are associated with him in
the management of the property,
They are all highly worthy of the
trust imposed in them.

lucky and has great future be-
fore it.

The sea really treats one very
badly when it gets on swell. You
sit down to the table, and the table
rises up and smites you in the face,

calls Inside information" that you
should arise and go below.
They say it takes some extra occa-

exploded. In revealing my inner

c. A. Snow Explains His
Position Relative TO
Cooped Chickens.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
In a Washington paper yesterday It is
made to appear that 1 went among the
wholesale poultry dealers on one day
this week and threatened them with
arrest If they would not feed and water
their fowls. etc.
Permit me TO deny through your paper
that 1 made any threat Of arrest.
went with two agents OF the Humane
Society and inspected a number Of
places where fowls are sold. and talked
with a number of dealers. most of whom
were disposed TO accept and follow sug-
gestions for the relief Of fowls densely
packed in coops and suffering for water
and from heat and the exhaustion OF
travel and confinement A few dealers
protested that water was deadly to
heated chickens. These 1 tried 10 re-
assure by promising 70 pay for all
chickens killed by Potomac water at
normal temperature.
Some OF the dealers have good attach
able metal troughs. by which they can
reed and water their chickens Some OF
the chickens were dead; others were
dying. Since animals that die OF thirst
or starvation are not fit for food, Il
cannot but be that Washington buyers
VIII prefer to get their fowls OF those
dealers who are not only humane
enough, but long-headed enough. TO i'm
prove their condition by food and water.
Yours very truly,

POLICE GIVE UP
CORPSE MYSTERY

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The police have
practically given up the attempt to de-
termine how the corpse Of John Nelson
came to be thrown through the window
Of the Third avenue trolley car on the
Eastern Brooklyn bridge approach late
Wednesday night. The case is one of
the queerest with which the detective
department has had 10 deal in years.
Those who have investigated it incline
10 the opinion that Nelson's body was
smuggled on an IL train for the pur-
pose OF disposing of It, and that II was
thrown of when no one was looking.
How a corpse, however. could have been
taken into an IL train without attract
ing attention is sim an unanswered
puzzle.

concerning the man she would marry
are these:
rs he in earnest? Does he aim to do
something large and worth Wholesome
thing that will add to the education, the
progress the power Of the world? I'm
man. In any large or enduring sense.
The greatest fault any sutton can
possess is fnsincerity- OF all the, quail
ties 1 deplore in a man that is the worst.
Should Recognize Woman's Aid.
Not only should a sutton have a large
purpose himself. but he should hold the
proper view Of the woman; should think
Of her as a helpmeet; should be willing
and glad TO recognize her ability to aid
him in his life work.
4 am not one OF those who belittle
the power OF women-the influence Of
women as factors in civilization. Won
an IS a mighty factor in the progress
of the world. and a true man will real
lie this and VIII encourage her to help
him.
THE happiest marriage results when
both husband and wife have this large
aim and when both work together for
its realization"
The advice Mr.. Shonts gives TO his
daughters, he would give TO al young
women who ask the one important ques-
ton Of their lives:
What are the essentials Of a good
husband-an ideal husband2 What are
traits by which / shall know whether or
not the man 1 love is worthy"
Here are six donts as given by Mr..
Shonts, which may serve TO settle The
question for many:
1--Don't marry merely because you
Ask yourself frankly If you are in
love with the man himself, or with IN
important details Of dress or looks or
manner that have caught your fancy.
Learn the Mans Aim in Life.
2. Don't marry a man without an aim
"a definite aim.
If you think enough of him to ana
I'VE his character at all. 90 far enough
70 find out exactly what his purpose In
life is-or if he has a purpose. Many
men haven't any.
3. Don't marry a man who places I'M
due Importance upon dress. or looks. or
position, or any superficial thing.
If a man is too fond OF dress or dis
play, If he thinks too much of society
putting your LIES happiness in his
hands.
4. Don't marry a man for his looks
Learn to look for character qualities.
Learn to dissgct. TO analyZe human na-
ture. Learn tn know the man as he is.
3 Don't select a man who belittles
your ability to help and inspire him.
A true man will believe In you and
place confidence in your capacity as a
helprnate.
6. Don't marry a man who lacks force
Of character.
He not only must be a good man, but
he must be forceful-positive in his
goodness. Negative virtues do not in
press the world.
Before marriage can be a complete
success women must learn to use judg-
ment in selecting their husbands" con-
cluded Mr.. Shonts- Love is necessary,
OF course. But. unless love can stand
the test-uniess the character qualities
are there to challenge the closest OF
investigation. love has a poor show in
the end After all. love is based on
respect and deep admiration"
