THE "GET-QUICK" IX) REIGN
LANGUAGE
They had but recently arrived in
Washington, and in order to fit them
selves to shine in diplomatic circles
were taking especial pains to acquire
a certain fluency and understanding
of foreign languages.
Little Willie had heard so much
about the "get-quick foreign langu
age" habit that when he and his little
neighbor were called upon to give an
exhlbtlon of their progress In modern
languages, they were quite ready to
do so. Doting fathers, uncles and
aunts sat about, and when the lesson
had been completed, and proper praise
had been bestowed, little Willie look
ed confidently at his audience, and
with a shake of his little curls, said,
"Reservoir!" There was a genera!
disposition to laugh, which culminated
in a universal guffaw when little
Katrina. equal to the en\ergency. piped
out. "Tanks! T'anks!" —"Affairs at

lIWITE STOUGH TO '
STIY ANOTHER WEEK
[Continued From First Page]
night. Action on the Invitation has
not yet been taken.
Another "High School Night"
Plans for the second "High School
Night" at the tabernacle this evening
promise an occasion of greater attend
ance, more enthusiasm and bigger re
sults than the memorable night four
weeks ago, when between sixty and
seventy high school students hit the
trail. Large crowds from both the
Central and tho Technical schools of
this city and the high schools of Steel
ton and other towns of the neighbor
hood have arranged to attend the ser
vice. They will march in separate
bodies and will be prepared with all
the latest yells, original songs and
newest sensations for demonstrating
school rivalry.
Dr. Stough has been the subject of
conversation and argument In all tho
schools for a month, and the servico
to-night has been looked forward to by
many who have been undecided as to
his merits.
Nearly All Want Him to Stay
When Dr. Stough abruptly asked the
audience last night, "How many of
you want another week of the cam
paign?" practically all stood up and
applauded. He then explained:
"Neither I nor my party nor the ex
ecutive committee want tho responsi
bility for keeping up the campaign for
one extra day. It is not so much a
matter for official procedure and de
cisitui as It Is for the rank and tile
of tire people who are interested. This
Is why I am asking for this public ex
pression to Indicate the common desire
for another week so the executive
committee can know the mind and
heart of the city and can thert act ac
cordingly. It Is they who must plan
for the provisions necessary to the
extension of time."
He said it will be a distinct sacrifice
for the party to stay longer than the
Intended six weeks, as they will have
only two or three days at home for
their Christmas vacations before the
opening of the Altoona campaign, De
cember 27.
Puts It Up to Executives
"But we are all at heart willing for
your sakes and the Interest of the city
to try to make a greater success for
the campaign. Unless the executive
committee feels that It is unwise or
that there are unsurmountable bar
riers in the way, then it is almost cer
tain we shall have another week of
the campaign In Harrisburg. But I
must Impose several provisions on
you: First, you must all promise to
attend the meetings; you must pray
every day, and you must work to In
duce others to attend the meetings and
to hit the trail."
Dr. Stough preached under the
handicap of a cold and a sore throat
last night and had to halt several
times In his sermon to take a pinch
of salt to relieve the strain. He said
the bad weather and the continued ex
ertion of his voice in such a big audi
torium was telling on his throat.
Offering For Salvation Army
The feature of last night was the
collection for Patrick Myers Nellsen,
captain of the Salvation Army. Dr.
Stough explained that such a name
was too long for any man and es
pecially for such a busy man as the
captain, so he said he would call him
Pat for short.
"If everyone in the city had stood
by the campaign as 'Pat' and his army
have done, there would be more doing
right now than there Is. They have
given up all their services and collec
tions, and their meal barrel Is getting
empty and the coal is running low in
their bin. Just the same, you still see
a broad, bjight smile on the captain's
face, and the lassies of the army can
still sing as sweetly as ever. They
have learned the lesson of never com
plaining, which some more ought to
learn."
Here Dr. Stough called Captain
Nellsen to the platform to show him
self. and he put a tin pail into his
hand, and then began to rake In the
contributions, first making the rounds
of the members of the Stough party,
lie got S2O from them as a nest-egg
for the bucket. Other contributions
of $23 from tho ministers, $11.,">0 frpni
the executive committee and individ
ual amounts totaled slls, while Pat
stood blushing and awkward, with his
wife at his side. Several sums were
sent up for her especial benefit. The
pan collections through the audience
were then made and amountd to
$338.72.
Pat said it was more money than
he had ever before seen in Harrisburg.
Special Delegations
A large body of the Qrand Army of
the Republic, under the leadership of
Post 58, with their llags, were in re
served seats, and many were in uni
form. The ladles of the Grand Army
of the Republic and the Sons of Vet
erans were also represented. The of
five and traveling forces of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company also
came in a body. At the opening of
the service several patriotic songs were
sung to the accompaniment of flag
waving by the choir and persons in
the audience.
Dr. Stough paid a graceful tri
bute to the Grand Army men and told
of his father and grandfather both
serving in th© war. "My grandfather
was a colonel of one of the Ohio regi
ments during the war and was brevet
ed a major-genera! at the close. My
father served as a musician during
the entire war. He served six months
in a Confederate military prison and
knew what it was to have maggots in
the beansoup and to eat corn bread of
meal ground with the coh, just as
many of you old men have known dur
ing your experiences,"
Two Veterans "Enlist"
| He said he would like to see some
lof the veterans —if there were any
I among thm who had not already done
| m) —make one more enlistment be
! fore the dropping of the curtain of
life on their services, and to secure
their enrollment in the great army of
eternity. When he called for trail
hitters he was rewarded by two of the
veterans coming forward, one of them
Sfi years old and the very first to
kneel at the bench.
The response of seventy-five traii
hlHers from a rather slim audience,
was an Indication of growing enthu
siasm In the work which promises a
eood week for the end of the cam
ps'en.
The personal power of the evangel
ist was shown in several Instances last
Just at the close of the call
for confession a man asked Dr. Stough
to go with him back into the audi
ence and talk to a brother who was
lust on the point of surrendering,
fltough worked for about five minutes
and brought the hesitating one for
ward *o the benches.
Without n Warrant"
The man afterward declared that he
bad be»n "arrested without a warrant
and was mighty glad of it." The
brother also testified and said that

By special request of one of the
men of the Metropolitan Life party.
Dr. Stough then talked to several of
his companions and after some argu
ment led them forward amid the
hearty applause of everybody in the
tabernacle. Another special appeal
resulted in the evangelist inducing a
man and his vCife to hit the trail at I
the last moment. All these personal |
talks kept the meeting unusually late,
but Dr. Stough said he felt well re
warded for the extra time and he was
willing to remain all night if it could
induce any more to hit the trail.
Beside the two veterans in uni
form, the trailhitters included ten
married couples, twelve husbands
alone, eleven wives unaccompanied,
| and many single men and women o'f
all ages. The number of gray-headed
Aien was especially noticeable.
Too Many Wandering Wits
The sermon was on the willingness
of the individual in accepting Christ,
from the text, "I stand at the door of
the heart and knock, and if any man
open to me I will come in and sup with
htm and he with me." He said that
if any one would spend fifteen min
utes a day in earnest study with a de
sire for the truth, he could easily be a
Christian. He declared there are too
many minds out wool-gathering when
they shoultf be Intently listening to
the preaching of the Word, and too
many wandering wits that should be
studying the Scriptures.

> How vainly grope my restless thoughts
Among the mazes of today!
No armor bright, no maid in while,
No tall knight bearing her away.
The strides of Science and the swing
Of plam-ts toward tho Perfect Hour
Less wondrous seem, less grandly ring
The days when knighthood was in
flower.
Away from bustle, pomp and pride
My vagrant fancy ever strays
To cnstles dim and chieftains grim,
Who loved in long-t'orgotten Mays.
Again I see the sunset gleam
On moat and bridge and ivy vine.
As when Sir Warbeck dared to dream
And won the love of Leoline.
Coll it the dead past, if you will;
Boast of our progress as you may;
Yesterday's knighthood brings a thrill
•That mocks the scheming of Today.
