Rhine Of the Plowman

It's some folks joy to hunt and fish,
Or trap the lakes an streams,
An some seeks recreation
In dreamin' idle dreams.
Some folks is active all the time
An some, when pleasure calls,
Jes' polish off the top fence-rails
With the seats of their overalls.
But if it's me you're askin'
What pleasures most divert,
like to hear the harness creak
An smell the blessed dirt!
like to trudge the furrer
With the lines around my back,
An the blackbirds all a-scramblin'
Fer the bugs along my track.
1 like it in the mornin'
When the breez is brisk an cool,
An the kids with their shinin' din
ner pals
Go pokin' off to school.
1 like to sort O. feel the wind
A putin out my shirt,
An hear the trace chains jingle
An smell the blessed dirt.
like to hold the handles
Where the hard-head rocks
abound.
(There'd be no sport in plowin'
If it want fer stony ground.)
l like to hold 'em steady
With a grip that's middling strong
An keep my ribs from gettin' sore
With poundin' all day long.
The rocks don't catch me nappin'
Fer my nerves is all alert
A feller can't be sleepy
An smell the blessed dirt.
1 like to see the horses sweat,
An sweat myself as well.
1t amt no harm to horse nor man
So fer as l can tell.
An I like to stop an rest my team,
An loosen up their reins,
An slacken up their belly bands,
! An straighten out their names,
An pull their collars forward
If think their shoulders hurt,
An sprawl myself upon the ground
! An smell the blessed dirt.
An when the bell reminds me
That the hour is gettin' late,
l like to drop their traces
An drive 'em to the gate.
l like to take their brides off,
An really I don't think
OF much that l like better
Than to watch my horses drink.
like to see 'em snort an blow
An make the water squirt,
After workin' all the mornin'
Plowin' up the blessed dirt.
The city has no charms fer me
That anyways compares
With the joy I get in plowin'
With a spankin' team of mares.
An when I'm thru at evenin'
An doin' up the chores,
| thank the Lord Who lets me work
In His big out-of-doors.
The farmers life's the life fer me,
An freely l assert
The grandest thing about it
Is to plow Gods blessed dirt.

RECORD BREAKING CROWD
AT The TABERNACLE
Audience Last Night Said to Have
Surpassed That of Previous Sun
day EVeningS-Will Preach To-
morrow Night on Popular Amuse-
mentS."

DR.. Thompson w. Mckinney
preached three powerful sermons
yesterday, the first one being deliver
ed at Grace M. E. Church yesterday
morning, at IL o'clock, after which
there were five professions of faith.
There was a large crowd in atten-
dance at the afternoon service in the
tabernacle, when DR.. Mckinney
again delivered a beautiful sermon.
At night the crowd is said to have
been the largest that has been pres
ent this year at the tabernacle, every
seat in the place being taken, and
scores of people standing patiently
on the outside to hear the sermon on
How Will You Escape, if You Ne.
glect So Great Salvation?''
The Berge Sisters sang several Sc
lections, the most pleasing, perhaps,
being 'In The Hollow of His Hand"
There were two conversions at the
afternoon service, and four at the
night meeting, making a total of
eleven for the day.
Tonight there will be a special ser
vice in the tabernacle, for women
only, and the women of Cambridge
and vicinity are invited. Tomorrow
night DR.. Mckinney will preach
special sermon to the young people
on Popular Amusements.

The Jewish New Year

Shutdown Wednesday, Sept. 9th,
the first day of the Jewish month
Tishri, will mark the beginning of
the Jewish High Holidays. These
holidays: of deep religious signifi-
canoe, will commence with the feast
of Rosh HNshanah, or New Year.
Ten days of Penitence, which reach
their climax in the Day of Atone
ment, Oct. 7th.
"On the New Year all the inhabi-
tants of the earth pass before Him as
sheep before a shepherd" In these
words the ancient Jewish law book,
the Mishna, refers to the significance
of this day. 1t is a day of Judgment
when the sins and the merits of all
men areI weighed by the Divine
Judge. The Talmud tells that in
this annual New Years Judgment
scene three books lie open before the
Most High. In one book, the Book
of Life, the names of the perfectly
the sinless, are inscribed;
the second book, the book of death
has recorded in it the names of the
utterly wicked; and the third book
is for the ordinary middle type" of
men, in whose behalf judgment is
suspended through the ten days of
penitence, until the Day of Atone
ment when the decision is finally
made and recorded.
The services for the day are espe
cially solemn. Prayers in prose and
poetry, dwelling upon the theme of
Gods judgment of man, are recited
and sung. The Rams horn, the
"Shofar,p summoning men to prayer
and repentance, is sounded in all
synagogs. At the close of the ser
vice the Norshippers greet each 9th
er with the words MAY you be writ
ten down for a good year."
Orthodox Jews observe many cere-
monies which suggest the ideas and
emotions of the day. In the home
honey (and fruits are eaten and the
pious wish expressed May it be Thy
wifi t. 1ene~, 10 US good and sweet
year." During the day orthodox
Jews will go to a river, shake
crumbs from their clothes and re-
cite among other prayers the verse
from Micah, And you will cast in
to the depths of the sea all their
sins" While orthodox Jews observe
the feast for two days, Sept. 27 and
28, Reform Jews return to the anci-
ent Palestinian custom and observe
but one day.

Fishing Creek Defeats Grape

In fast and exciting game, Fish
ing Creek defeated Crapo Saturday
afternoon, on the Fishing Creek dia-
mond, by the score of to 0. Crapo,
after having been badly beaten by
this same team last Saturday week,
decided to win this game, so they

good control, never walking man.
For three innings he held Fishing

LARGE SCHOONER BEING

ping Company.

The keel of one of the largest YES

town Marine Railway Company,
which means a great deal to the peo-
pie of that town. The keel is one
hundred and sixty-three feet long.
beam is thirty-seven feet, with a
depth of hold thirteen feet and six
inches. She will have four maSts
and will carry about eleven hundred
tons. This has given the company
an opportunity to increase the num-
ber of carpenters and at the same
time the wages have been increased,
which has given new activity to the
yard force.
The vessel is being built for the
White Shipping Company, new
company recently organized for the
purpose of building, buying, and sell
ing vessel property, in fact doing a
general brokerage business. Albert
w. Robinson, of Laurel, is President;
P. T. White, of Sharptown, Secre-
tary and Treasurer; Capt. R. B.
White, of Baltimore, Vice-President
and General Manager.

barge Schoolfield is undergoing ex-
tensive repairs and other repair
work yet to come. During the mac
tivity of the yard many carpenters
left home, and some moved their
families and have been loss to the
town in many ways. This boom Of
the railway and other home activi-
ties with the increase of wages will
be the means of many who are away
returning to their old home and to
the town they love.
The railway is one of the towns
oldest Industries and has been
great help in building up the town.
The carpenters here have been rated
among the best and whenever the
railway has been in a position to do
work, vessel owners and captains
have been attracted here by the char
acter of the work done and high
class treatment received to which
may be added splendid town to
live in while work is being done.
The present officers, Benz. P. Gra-
yenor, president; Purnell T. White,
secretary and treasurer, and AlonZo
r. Connolly, general manager, have
labored hard to get the enterprise
resuscitated, and it now looks like
the work will be continuous for years
to come. When this fact becomes
generally certain the town will
boom. The town has many advan-
tages now it did not possess few
years ago. The State road has op-
ened up line of travel through the
town and almost daily people are
stopping here and observing the To-
cation and the many advantages of
the town. Again, the farmers ada
cent to the town have moved up on
broader plane of agricultural work
and the products are rapidly increas-
ing. Evidently better, brighter days
are in prospect for the beautiful town

From "The Charm of New Orleans by
 Wherein does it lie. this special charm
 of New Orleans-certainly the most allur-
 ing among the larger communities of
 our country? Not alone does it dwell in
 the byways of the old French quarter,
 though there, doubtless, turks a unique
 attract but in the newer quarters, as
 we'll as in the life of the people, and es-
 pecially in the romantic country round
 about, where still lakes and bayous are
 choked purple with water hyacinth; where
 dark and dismal forests of cypress, beard
 ed with Spanish moss, lift their knees in the swamps," weird, fantastic remind
 CTS of the struggles of the early settlers,
 of the tragic beginnings of the infant
 colony, when flood and pestilence, Indian
 and pirate, added misfortune to disaster and wrote upon the land a history dark and sombre as Creek tragedy.
 To prepare yourself for this romantic impression you should approach the city
 by the water route as the French colonist used to do ir the early days, and like them ascend the Father of Waters 100 miles or more. In their day the shores were but tangle of dark, semi-trop1c foliage interspersed with dunes and pesti- lential inlets where death lurked in 1000 forms. One can readily imagine the feel ing of these first setters-poor Manon Lescaut and the files de joie, her com- panions-who, after their long buffetings at sea, turned their lack-lustre eyes upon so dreary a prospect.
 Now the scene has changed. The swamps have been opened to the sum and air, and pesti.enct has been banished from the land.
 After the soft caress of a long blue day in the Gulf of Mexico, we raised the lights on the East Jetties toward midnight, took the river rilot aboard, and threaded the l narrow South Ps,ss. one of the lcEg toes If the great delta that reaches like a giant web foot out into the gulf.

least difficulty, but the sentimental effect of the parade-and in matters of this kind sentiment is everything would be lost unless the valiant old fellows who wore the gray marched, as in days gone by. It will be a short parade, extending over only few blocks. It will not be fatiguing and the "vets" will certainly feel better satisfied walking than if they were conveyed through the streets in soft cushioned cars.
 The reunion is only three weeks from next Tuesday, and General Chairman R. A. Brown and his asso- ciates are to be congratulated on the fact that nearly all arrangements are completed. The end of the present week will see the finishing touches so far as the work of planning is con- cerned. All we will need is seasonable May weather to make this the great est reunion in the history of the United Confederate Veterans.

According to tradition, the uses of cof-
 fee were first discovered in Abyssinia,
 about the time Columbus was dreaming
 of reaching the Indies by sailing west across the Atlantic. The Mohammedans drank coffee to keep them awake during their long religious vigils, but this prac- tice was frowned upon by more orthodox Mussulmen who considered it a form of intoxcation. The habit spread, how ever, and reached Egypt in the sixteenth century Europe became acquainted with coffee in the seventeenth century. The first coffee houses were establishd in Con stantinople and Venice. The first Lon don coffee house was established 50 years after Sir Walter Raleigh learned to smoke tobacco Charles II tried to abolish it, as the place was supposed to be ire quented by disloyal subjects, but the cus- tom became popular and the number of coffee houses multiplied. Nearly all the berries used at that time were supplied by the Arabian province of Yemen, of which Mocha was the chief seaport. The coffee plant was introduced into Java at the end of the seventeenth century, and ever since that time 'Moca and Java" has been a recognized trade name. However, most of the coffee used in America is imported from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Hawaii and Central and South America. Mocha and Java coffee constituted less than one-third of 1 per cent of the 1000, ,Ooe, 900 pounds consumed in the United States last year. Brazil produces today three-fourths of the worlds supply of coffee.
