BOARDWALK SMASHED
AT COLONIAL BEACH
Potomac River Resort Suffered,
Other Damage in Storm Of
Last Saturday.

Colonial Beach, Va, the excursion re-
i sort on the lower Potomac at which many
residents Of this city spend their summer
vacations, was sufferer from the heavy
northeast storm of last Saturday. Accord
ing TO reports, the high tide, reaching
within a few inches Of the boardwalk,
aIiowed the seas to sweep over it. A
portion or 1t was carried away.
The worst damage was done when
the bugeye Sallie White, owned In

lying at anchor in front Of the town
was carried from her moorings and
into the boardwalk, which was demol-
ished Tor considerable distance The
vessel was left on the beach a total

other vessels lying at Colonial Beach
were saved from going ashore by get

additional ground tackle it looked at
times as II they would part chains.
considerable portion of a clay bank
along the beach, below the freight

waves that large section of 1t finally
washed away. When the wind shifted

sells on the river, damage to shipping

herself to see that this Christmas wish
Of every person in the institution was
supplied, and, in addition, sent quantity
of books and magazines.
The desire of the companions Of the
editor of the prison paper himself a con-
Wet, led him to put into print the request

in a Chicago newspaper, caught the at
tention Of Mrs. Patterson and she has
tened to respond.
Many other people were also touched

MUSIC AND TALK

We begged that fine musician,
the great Prof 'runes. 10 hello our
souls condition by playing divers
tunes. He didn't wish to do it.
for he was tired and stale; we
had to force him to it by plea and
threat and wall. Then on the
keys his fingers began to travel
light: his tunes were all hum
dingers, his skill was out of sight.
And faster still and faster his
magic fingers flew; from this and
that old master sweet ecstacy he
drew. His brow began to dark
en-. he sternly scowled around;
he saw we did not harken to all
that burst OF sound. Like sun
dry bonehead vandals we chat
tered in our seats, withdrawing
ancient scandals from out their
winding sheets; with lungs Of
brass and leather we filled the
room with yawps; we talked
about the weather, we talked
about the crops. And then the
great musician rose from his
padded stool, and said: Its not
my mission to be your private
fool" He promptly wrecked the
shanty from roof to cellar star,
and buried Dad and Auntie be-
meath a Morris chair. And when,
all bruised and broken, we
crawled out from the wreck,
these words were sadly spoken:
