SONG OF THE SEA

Great is the Yacht Reporter now,
He has much space and lots of pay;
He cometh in from Sandy Hook
And serves trial races up this way:
with rail awash she crossed the line
And beat up to the windward fine.
With sheets Delayed, all snug and taut
She had a gentle list to port.
She iockeyed to a starboard tack
And then again to port came back.
They kept her headed south by north,
And, flying through a sea of froth.
1t could be seen her topmost stays
Had buckled in two dif'rent ways
She pointed up to three degrees.
And threw her gaskets to the breeze
The finish was a sight to see,
Corrected time, 3-33."
The Yacht reporter likes technique,
AS does the baseball man;
To many, though 1t may be Greek;
1t tickleth the Fan.

Gathering at Neffsville, Lam

The growth of the United Breth-

or nearly $50 pears ago to it's present
enrolment of over $4,000 members
with its Sunday school enrolment of
$4,000 and owning church property
worth more than thirteen million dol
lars was traced by the Rev. DR.. |. II.
Albright, pastor of the First United
Brethren Church at Middletown and
historical secretary of the East Penn
sylvania conference, at an address at
Neffsville, Lancaster county, Satur-
day.
The address was delivered at the
annual memorial meeting in the barn
on the old Isaac Long farm now own
ed by Jacob r. Lands. "A descendant.
1t was in this barn on Whit Sunday
i'm 1856 that a big meeting of MEM
bers OF Lutheran, Reformed, Mennon-
ite and Omish churches was held un-
der the leadership of the Rev. Martin
Behm, of Lancaster, and the Rev.
William Otterbein, of York. The or
ganization of the United Brethren
Church resulted from the meeting. At
the memorial services Saturday hun
dreds of churchmen from Lancaster,
Lebanon and York counties paid trib-
ute to the memories of the church
founders.
The Rev. DR.. Albright said the first
regular annual conference of the
church was not held until the year
1900, the first class was not regularly
organized until some years later, and
the first general conference was not
held until the year 1915. The church,
he said, has grown until to-day forty
three annual conferences, $4,000
3.400 churches, Ills par
sonages, property valued at more than
100000. Sunday schools, $3.50 with
an enrolment of $4,000 scholars.

THINKIN'

Thinkin' refreshin' thought. like rain
i'm summer time,
When grounds been dry for the long
est while and suddenly beats the
ryhme
or the silver, palpitant rain, and the
cool wind over il blows
And that's the loveliest kind Of
thought that the human intellect
knows.
Thinkin' tenderer things to say and to
do for the one
Who waits all day in the dream of the
years as they dance and run
Along on their feet of dew. and your
own cheek colors like hers
Thinkin' of love that way till your
whole heart trembles and stirs.
Thinkin' cool places of rest away from
the heat and stir
OF the streets of the city that buzz
with that sleepless, eternal whirr
or spindle and loom and thread, and
over you trees and vines,
And the delicate blooms and the grass
and the far sea that sings and
shines.

In fact. the Bull Moose situation in
Pennsylvania is delightfully."- comic
The Lewis campaign was hopeless. APP
parently negotiations for Mr.. Lewis's
abdication were in progress at Saga
more Hill some weeks ago, though the
fact was denied. Mr.. Lewis's plat
form was full of iabs at Mr.. Wilson's
administration and at the Democratic
performances and program"
"The platform of Mr.. Mccormick is
as generous in praise of the admins
tration and Democratic policies as the
Progressive platform was in censure
The swift genius Of the Colonel has
revolved rapidly from pole to pole.
Meanwhile. that beautiful and
blameless woodlander, the Hon. Gif-
ford Pinchot who islas likely to be-
come a Senator as Dean Lewis was to
become Governor is still in circula-
tion.
I'm some mysterious way. hidden
from common men. the abdication of
Lewis is to serve the cause of virtue
and injure Mr.. Penrose. To the un-
initiated it looks merely as If the
Colonel were still persuaded that he
can run against the war"
Mccormick and Lewis Deal
That it is an impossible fusion is
tne conclusion OF tne Bniladelph1a
Evening Telegraph, which says:-
THE withdrawal of William Draper
Lewis as the Washington party candi-
date for Governor is chiefly significant
as a confession of the. utter hopeless
ness of that party's cause. That hope
lessness was made evident by the vote
of the primaries.
"All that he can still control of the
fragments of the Washington party
In he ~
by ex-senator Finn for the use of the
Democrats. He has wearied of the
noble and uplifting work of under
writing the party, and unloads on the
most convenient market. The Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor has
plenty of money, and as his lavish use
of II in the primaries has shown, is
willing to spend 1t.
This so-called fusion has long been
incubating. The Democratic bosses
have not given the Washington party
bosses any rest on the subject for
weeks. The Washington party candi-
date for Governor and the Democratic
candidate for Governor have con-
ferred frequently and have had an
understanding to quote from re-
ported explanation of DR.. Lewis. When
Finn and Mccormick and Lewis were
all in town the job was fixed.
This deal is a betrayal of every
one who was sincere in his adherence
to the Washington party. There were
still some such left in spite of the fact
that so many of the rank and file dis
covered the insincerity of the leaders
long ago and returned to the Repub-
lican ranks. IT is a betrayal of the
Washington party platform, which
condemns the policies af the Demo-
cratic party"
Many other important and in1uen-
tial newspapers take the same view
of the fusion deal, which is regarded
as fiagrant violation of party
pledges.

BY william F.. Kirk
Its awful the way that folks talk
about folks"
Said Mrs. Mehitabel Spud
ITS hard enough going to carry our
yokes
without gittin' covered with mud
know Sally jenkins has got a bad
name
And think that her brothers a
hound;
/ know that Jake Lee stole some
chickens from me
But why should tell 1t around?
"It's true that the Langdons don't pay
up their bills,
And can't get no credit no more;
I know that insurance helped Emily
Mills
The time she set fire to her store.
There's lots of mean stories that
spring out of jokes
When people can't keep their
mouths tight;
It's awful the way some folks talk
about folks,
And it makes me so mad I could
fight"

once every Spring and Fall; to notify
the consumers of any break in the
machinery or any interruption in the
service, and to keep a record during
