We walked down the street when a
big limousine shot past. Kennedy
stopped in the middle of remark. He
had recognized the car, with a sort of
instinct.
At the same moment saw a smil-
ing face at the window of the car. It
was Elaine Dodge.
The car stopped in something less
than twice it's length and then backed
toward us.
Kennedy, hat off, was at the window

"Why, we were just going up to our
rooms" replied Kennedy.
Cant We drive you around?"
We climbed in and a moment later

for Kennedy. We stepped out in front

DREW LESSONS FROM NATURE
Originality Of College Professors Lee
lures Caused Them to 7e Appre-
elated by Class.

There was q certain college profess
sor of machine design who was as
original In his views as he was In his
subject. One OF his pet theories was
the interrelation between nature and
correct design. Boys" he would
say. there has been only one de-
signer who never made a mistake, and
the more we study his work, the bet
ter machine we will build. When you
put your legs under q machine, think
OF o horse or q cow, and get them
as far apart as you can-dont get
too much overhang at either end. And,
speaking Of q counterbalance, study
the kangaroo; there Is no prettier ex-
ample OF equilibrium In all positions.
The further over he leans the more
his tail comes into action OF the
ground. And again, I'm speaking of
general design, wherever possible, try
to work for elasticity as against rigid
ity. You find very little Of the rigid
In nature, and little trees often sur
vive gale by bending. where big ones
are blown down." All OF which was
undoubtedly very true. and made more
OF an impression on his hearers than
some Of the more complicated mathe.
NAUTICAL demonstrations that followed.

Just to think the microbe has been
In this terrestrial sphere twenty mil
lions OF years! Disease germs that
now afilict humanity have been discov-
cred in the fossils of the earliest life
on earth. There was belief that bac.
terra were q modern pest, and they
came just In time to plague mankind.
But why should they exist before?
What was the object Of their insig-
nificant lives? This question science
answers by saying that they first came
to assist In the decomposition of the
calcareous rocks. This certainly was
q more honorable mission than to
scare people In later days into the
use Of special drinking cups and to
set up great government bulwarks TO
resist their imaginary fury. The mi
crobe was formerly an honorable and
useful citizen. but now he has fallen
from his high estate.

Local Option Rally.
The Local Option campaign opened
wide on Thursday last, when two
districts, repeating the dose in the re-
naming districts on Friday, all of
which were but leading up to the Grand
Rally ut Leonardtown on Saturday at
the Court House.
The district meetings were well at
tended and great enthusiasm prevailed,
and the enthusiasm was hammered
down and ''sot in, where it, will re-
main to find its correct outlet on
Tuesday next.
The Grand Rally was presided over
bY the Rev. Mr.. Curran, of Mechanics
vile, who introduced Senator John
Mudd, OF Charles county, as the
first speaker. Senator Mudd told of
the good local option had accomplish
ed in his county in the first few months
of its trial, and refuted by letters from
the most prominent merchants in var
ious sections the many reports of dis
satisfaction with the Law and its work
ings. He also read with effect the ap-
peal from Lewis Mattingly.
Senator Mudd was followed by the
Hon. Thomas Parran, of Calvert
county, who treated of the conditions
in Calvert, and told of the benefits
local option had been 10 them, par
ticularly TO the colored people. He
referred to n letter from Judge Bris-
coe, published in the county papers,
and read q endorsement of same from
leading business men of his county.
He also paid his respects TO the writer
| of letter published in the Enterprise
and signed Observer, and denounc-
ed same In caustic terms. He appeal
ed TO the colored voter TO vote ''dry, /"
showing them that he was and had
always been their friend and that he
would not advise them against their
interest
The Rev. DIR. Hughes, colored, was
the the third speaker, and the audience
was again treated to another rare ad-
dress. He called on his race TO vote
dry on this great moral issue, aud
said that he was sure they would be
true to the traditions of their race and
their own best interests, and make the
white people of St. Mary's acknowl-
edge, as they did in Charles. that his
race had saved the dav by their votes.
The Rev. DIR. will remain in the coun-
~ until election.
The last Speaker, DIR. I. M. Hare.
claimed he was the last in order so
that he could hammer down the great
truths presented by the preceding
speakers. He spoke of the boosted
chivalry of st. Mary's countians and
told them that he was going to put
them on their metal, that they nov
had their chance and they must prove
it by their votes on the third day of
August
Four greater speeches were never
listened TO by So. Mary's audience.
and the sincerity of each speaker could
not be questioned. Meetings will be
held daily from now on, two meetings
in each district on Monday, August 2.

best of good fortune, escaped injury.
Another and more serious one was .

met. There were a number of small
children in the Ford, which was badly
damaged, but its occupants escaped
with a number of slight bruises.
The last accident of the day was
when n car, driven by Mr.. Chas. Piles,
of Pomokey, skidded over bank on
