sLooP VICTIM OF STORM.
Freighter William H. Hall Goes
Down in Chesapeake Bav

After thirty-six years OF active serv-
ice as u freighter on Chesapeake bay
and it's tributaries. the sloop William
II. Hall of Baltimore was lost in
heavy storm on the Chesapeake bay
the middle of last week. The vessel
was bound from the Potomac to Bal
timore when struck by the storm. Big
seas caused her to labor hard. and her
old hull could not stand the strain and
started going to pieces. The schooner
Ella r. Hill. bound from North Caro-
lima to Baltimore. came along in time
to rescue the colored master of the
Hall and his wife. and the one man
composing the crew.
The Hall was built at Baltimore in
1879, and registered fifteen tons She
was 43 feet long, 1874 feet beam and
"a feet deep. 1t is stated the vessel
went completely to pieces. and her tim
beers are drifting ashore. II was of
this vessel that Capt. Gaskins. master
Of the Ella X. Hill. who rescued the
people on her. could not recall the
name or the names of the persons he
saved.

After Storm

The wind has blown the clouds
away, and now we have perfect
day, the sun is saving wood; we
jog along meath smiling skies, the
sounds OF grief no more arise, ard
every gent feels good. Life seems
most delightful graft when ma
ture once again has laughed, dis
missing clouds and gloom: we
find new charms in Mother Earth,
our faces beam with seemly
mirth. our whiSkers are in bloom.
That is the use OF dreary days, on
which we're all inclined to raise 4
yell OF bitter grief; they fill us up
with woe and dread, so when the
gloomy clouds are sped, we'll feel
a big relief. That is the use OF
every care that fills your system
with despair. and rends your heart
in twain; for when YOU see YOUR
sorrow waltz. you'll turn three
hundred somersaults. and say
lies safe and sane. If there was
not a sign OF woe in all this YER
dant vale below. life soon would
lose its zest, and YOU would
straightwav roar and beef because
YOU couldn't find a grief to cuddle
to Your breast. So sunshine fol-
lows after storm. and snow Sue
ceeds the weather warm, and we
have fog and sleet; all sorts Of
days are sliding past. and when
we size things up at last. we see
life can't be beat.

womanhood. We believe this is Ameri-
can, and consider anything less than
this, or departure from this. un-Ameri-
can.
Therefore the members of the
league observe with unusual pleasure
