7 Unseen, the vicious viper turks
" Two leagues beyond the land;
And oh. the hate. the bitter hate
Above her deck the herring play,
The scaly hake and sculpin stray,
The gaping weaktish throng;
The seaweed, where the swift tide
Hangs from her sides in floating curls
Like sodden hair of long-drowned
girls;
Half blind, she gropes along.
Above, the sun of glad MONDAY;
Below, the deeps are CHASTITY gray,
Where, In the broad sea-lane,
Securely safe from watchful eyes,
Awaiting Deaths most piteous prize
To hoose the Sinless Slain!
Full speed ahead toward her port
The floating palace drives,
Bearing her precious, needless freight,
Two thousand human lives.
About her decks the voyagers stand,
happy lovers hand in hand
Are gazing TOWARD the distant land
The journeys almost DER;
Soft breezes. odorous and clean
Blow o'er, the bow, and dimly seen,
Lies the low strip of vivid green
That marks the Irish shore.
Above the waves, a mile away,
A fn-like object cleaves the spray
a single whistling breath
a widening wake is marking where
The grisly viper lurking there
Has launched the bolt of Death!
The craven blow has found. its mark
thuds the stroke;
From out the staggering steamer
bursts
A cloud of lurid smoke.
No craft to hear the drowning calls
The useless boats jam in their falls,
As lower sinks the wreck.

MOTOR CLUBS coon WORK.

TINE Motor Club of Harrisburg is
engaged in another Of those con-
structlve tasks for which 1t has
been noted ever since it was largely
instrumental in the removal of the toll
gates from the River Road and the
improvement of hat important piece
of highway. This time the club is pre-
pairing to buy materials and employ
zoo men for the repair of several main
lines of travel in Cumberland county,
on Good Roads Day, May 20. Cum
berland county highways in need of
attention are also to be looked after
by volunteers from the club. Presi-

PENTHOUSE PERMITS

TN the matter of possible lighthouses
along the River Front, it ought to
be understood at the outset that
these structures should be as unob-
trusive as possible. This can be ac-
complished by placing the buildings,
which should be of concrete, against
the high ~embankment at points where
the vines M planting will serve to
cover the tops of the houses and save
the view of the River Front from the
walk at the top of the slope. 1t might
be well for the heads of the Depart
ments of Parks and Public Works to
provide specifications for such build
ings so that there may be no disfg-
urement of the river embankment.
The third class city law amend
ments now in the Governors hands
give specific permission to the city to
erect lighthouses which can be main
tanned by the city or leased to con-
ccssionaries.
We believe that there will be en-
enlargement of such enterprises, but
the permits should be confined to as
Eociations only. Individual boat
houses ought not to be countenanced,
inasmuch as such structures would
soon line the River Front from one
n of the city to the other and de-
stroy the beauty that has been the adj
miration of the city and its visitors.
Now thai the River Front improve
ment is practically completed inso-
far as h concrete steps and walks
are concerned, everybody is enthusi-
astic owe the admirable treatment of
a difficult problem. With the closing
of the gap at Market street, which
Commissioner Lynch ha given as
surance will not be delayed, the line of
steps will be continuous from Ma
clay street on the north to Iron
alley on the south. Much credit is
due the heads of the several DEPART
ments for their cooperation in push
ing forward the work thus far and
harmonious efforts to accomplish
that which is best for the city.

WHEN THE WAR ENDS
by Wing DInger

Throughout this war I oft have tried
To pick the winner out;
rye read each day how regiments
Are being put to rout.
Sometimes the German arms will win
The next day they will lose
Until at last I've given up
The winner I can't choose.
But after all. whoever wins
I wish the war would cease,
And warning nations, one and ALL.
Would take up terms of peace.
'Twould mean so much to all the world,
For war to end, yet
They all might go to war again
Ger what eac ones to get.

 CLAIM 50 LIVES

Two Blocks of Ardmore, Okla. Wrecked When Tank Car Is
 Ignited.
 Ardmore, Okla, Sept. 27.-A spark from a workman's ham, mer ignited a tank car of gaso- line here late today, and from the ruins of two city blocks, razed by the resulting explosion and the fires which followed, 35 bodies shad been removed late tonight. Fifty persons are be- lieved to have been crushed to death under falling walls or burned to death while pinned in the debris of the stores, whole sale houses and the Ardmore railroad station.
 The property damage is esti- mated at S5OO, GOO.
 Two workmen were repairing the tank at 2::30 o'clock this afternoon. Suddenly one of them struck it with a hammer. A spark from the blow ignited fumes escaping through a small leak. There was terrific ex- plosion, followed by many small CT ones. The workmen were blown to pieces.
 For five hours after the ex- plOsion Ardmore was cut off from the outside world. Tele- phone and telegraphic communi- cation was severed by the wreck ing of poles in the downtown district.
 The shock shattered the Ard nore railroad station used by the Santa Fe. Frisco and Rock Island railroads. The Rock Is- land freight station and scores of other buildings quickly took fire from the flying liquid.
 The flames spread rapidly un- til all of Main street appeared a roaring furnace. Thirty freight cars in the Santa Fe yards were destroyed. The pail of smoke hanging over the whole city prevented rescuers from doing effective work.
 The roof of the Wilmington hotel was blown off by the force of the first explosion, but all guests are believed to have sav- their lives.
 At the store of Maddin & Go. scores of girls were working, and it is feared some lost their
 ives.
