FINALLY.
 When all is OCT
 And on the shore
 Of time are many wrecks- The people who,
 Still good and true,
 Wore stones about their necks, Will storm clouds lift
 And through rift
 A kindly sun beam down? Or shall the wave
 Engulf the brave
 Who dared high heavens frown? Familiarity breeds contempt but never in the case of mules and hornets. Children are welcome in heaven but not in a flat. Some people can have glorious pipe dreams with materials that other peo- pie would not consider enough for one good smoke. The Japanese are consuming so much beer that Milwaukee will soon be loved in Cherry Blossom land. of all American cities.

BASE BALL.

In very interesting and exciting game
played at New Windsor Saturday last, the
Dennings Stars achieved another victory by
defeating the strong Patapsco A. c. in ten
inning game by score of TO 7. Jenkins
did the box work for Dennings. with Is
strike-outs to his credit, while Flater, for
Patapsco, had 8. In the critical moment of
the tenth inning, with Smith for Dennings at
the bat, he made home run which brought
the victory. Smith is well noted for those
things. Both teams showed their ability in
playing ball. We are pleased by the kind
way in which the Patapsco boys play.

Towson to three hits, and was given gltedged

Vacation Time.
Written for the Democratic Advocate.

Vacation time is here. We need rest. On
every side we hear men saying, "lf could
only get away from my present work, to new
scenes, new pleasures, just for little while,
or if could only enjoy the things that others
enjoy, the luxury of wealth. Man in his rest
lessness, seeking new pleasures, tired of the
familiar faces and scenes around him, is for
getful of the beauties of home. He seeks
new places, new friends, and variety on
foreign shores, but real contentment he never
finds without clear conscience, true heart.
and firm faith in God, the creator of all things
beautiful. In his reslessness man forgets the
things that are familiar to him, the real beauty
of home scenes, and the little things that
count so much in life. If we would mediate
and observe, we should learn the real mean
ing of life, to find new beauty in our daily
walks in life; new and lovable traits in our
friends. doing some deed of kindness for one
less fortunate, making our work pleasure,
living not alone for ourselves, but for others.
The woods are full of new beauty; the tiny
violet the yellow buttercup, are mysteries,
their life and growth cared for by an unseen
hand The wonderful mysterious creation of
the world is marvellous and full OF new beauty,
about which man knows so little. There Is
more rest found in one nights sleep with q
clear conscience, the love OF God III our
hearts and good will toward all mankind,
than weeks of restless travelling IN other
climes. Seek first the beauties OF home and
you find something new, beautiful and good
each day.
