IllDl ME Clerks Put Aside Daily Routine Long Enough to Hold Fifteenth An nual Banquet KREIDER AND ROYAL SPEAK Sites Acts as Postmaster-Toastmaster and Everybody Has a Corking Good Time in the Beautiful and Spacious Colonial Country Club Tho members of Harrisburg Branch No. 89, of rhe United National Asso ciation of Postoffice Clerks, their wives anil a number of guests, went to t>he beautiful Colonial Country Club, Liagleatown road, last evening, and en joy oil to the utmost the fifteenth an nual banquet of the organization and various social diversions that followed. Among the guests of honor were "Congressman Kreider, Mayor Royal and lVstinastcr Sites. Two former ]>ostmas ters. Benjamin F. Meyers nnd E. J. Staekpole. were prevented by illness from attending, but the association sent to each an appropriately inscribed bou quet of beautiful flowers. The guests took a special car for the club house and the elaborate banquet was served in the second floor dining room. The presence of the ladies of the party added much to the sociability of the occasion. After a delightful menu, Edgar M. Longenecker, presi dent of the Harrisburg brauch of the association, made an address of wel come and his popularitv was attested to by tlie prolonged applause which fol lowed his remarks. He introduced Mr. Sites as the •'Postmaster-Toastmaster" for the evening. Mr. Sites made a short speech, in which he told of the rapidly growiug business of the Harrisburg postofliec. He said it is significant of the pros perity of this community that the busi ness of the Harrisburg office is actually growing at this time, when that of al most every other postoffice of the coun try is falling otf. He attributed the successful operation of the office here, not to his own efforts, but to the co operation of the men in his emplrfy. Favors International -Court C.Migressmian Kreider was then in troduced and told of the work that his been done in recent years in Congress to improve the working >or.dit ions of postoffice employes, lie declares he is heartily in favor of ail movements for workingmen's compensation ( aud em ployers' liability. Mr. Kreider than advocated an in ternational court of arbitration as a moans of preventi ig such occurences as the present terrible war in Europe. He said such a court should have an in ternational army aiul navy vested with full police powers to enforce its de crees and that the plan involves the dis armament of the nations. He insisted that it eau be proved that such a plan is practicable despite the fact that some may regard it as visionary. Mayor Royal was next introduced. He maile a witty v;>eech at the out-et. but before lie sat down he praised the Harrisburg postoflice men for their ef ficiency ajjd spoke of the advantages of organization among p.vtal clerks. Mr. Samuel W. Fleming, assistant post master, read the Lincoln Gettysburg address. Mr. Sites then announ.ed that the rest of the evening would be devoted to the various amusement affordel l»y the big club house, such as dancing, bowling and pool. Almost everybuly remained nntal the last car started back into the city and a'ii enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Mr. Charles H. Hoffman and Mr. George S.

Howard Wert No 10 n BRUGE'S ADDRESS BY ROBERT BURNS If you would know all about the heroism of William Wallace and "The Bruce" in the closing years of the 13th and the opening years of the 14th centuries, read that wonderful work, too little known at the present day,— Jane Porter's "Scottish Chiefs," which, under a thin veil of fiction, is one of the world's most thrilling works of history. Wallace was cruelly done to death by tho English in 1305, but his soul, like that of John Brown, went marching on. Finally, June 24. 1314, on the field of Bannockburn, the 30,000 Scotch followers of "The Bruce" gave the mighty host of Edward II the m«st disastrous defeat ever inflicted on bii English nrmy. Bruce placed his army on a rising ground, with a river in front, and a bog on one side; and to make the approach still more difficult, he caused pits to be dug and filled with sharp stakes, and the tops covered over with turf and leaves. The English halted for the night, and, despising the little nrmy opposed to them,' spent the time in feasting and merriment: while the Scots were occupied in devotion, and iu mutual exhortation to conquer or to die. The Karl of Gloucester, who commanded the English cavalry, was the first to advance, and, falling into one of the pits, was the first to die on that disastrous day. The cavalry, having lost its leader, was thrown into confusion, and com pletely routed. While the infantry were alarmed with this unfortunate begin ning. they observed what appeared to be another army marching lei mi relv over the heights as if to surround them. This was, in fact, a number of the wugoners aud boys, whom Bruce had furnished with banners, and who, at a distance, made a very warlike show. The stratagem succeeded completely. The English threw down their arms and fled without striking a blow, and Edward was himself obliged to fly, to avoid being made a prisoner. They were pursued with grent slaughter for ninety miles, till they reached Berwick. Such was the battle of Bannockburn, which secured the independence of Scotland. Robert Burns, the world's uncrowned poet laureate of sentiment and pathos, has thus paraphased Bruce's address to his troops before engaging in battle. Scots, who have with Wallace bled, Scots, whom Bruce has often led, Weleoaie to your gory bed, Gr to glorious victory! Now's the day, and now's the hour — See the front of battle lower— See approach proud Edward's power— Edward, chains and slaverv!

KOt'RTH STOKET 1 the Busy Bee Kratnurimla^ dUllum UUIIUULI Lesson Vll.—First Quarter, For Feb. 14, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Leeeon, I Sam. ill, 1-IS, 10, 20—Memory Vara**, 8, 9—Golden Tent, I Sam. lii, 9— -Commentary Pre pared by Rev. D. M. Steam*. What a specially great lesson this Is for boys, with something for every one, young and old. Iu nil Scripture there Is a message from the henrt of God to each Individual heart that reads. It Is true always, as lit the last verse of our lesson chapter, that the Lord reveals Uliuself by His word. The Scriptures are the revelation of God to man, awl the Lord Juaus Christ Is the Living Word. In whom we see the Father, even as He said. "He that liath seen Me hath seen tho Father" (John xlv, 0). Our lesson opens with Samuel ministering unto the Lord. Bee also chapter li, 11, 18. This i* not the word which Is translated to "minister in the priest's office." but tho word to nerve or minister, as whou Joshua ministered to Moses (Ex. xxxlll, 11; Josh. 1. 1). Even a child can acrve Him who came not to be ministered onto, but to minister (Matt. xx. 3Si. M.ny we al ways l>e able to say from the heart, ■'Whose I am and whom I serve." aud count It our highest prtvliese to minis ter unto Him (Acta sxvli, 23; Luke vlii, 3; Dan. vl, 16t. In (he revised version the words "precious" and "open" are In (he margin "rare" uud "frequent.'" and the meaning probably Is that uny special message from the Lord wns of rare occurrence or it had been some time since He had spoken. The book of Judges ended with every man doing right In his own eyes- nrki«l>tr Hook d<— ■crihlni: peculiar l*ei> elite I'oweria to he dlntrlhuteri I'oiet Fife to rendcrM of The Ntitr-Independent. "Tho wonderful power of Personal in fluence, Magnetism, Pnsc-tnation. Mind Control, cal 1 it what you will, ran sura ly bo acquired by everyone no matter now unattractive or unsuccessful," says Mr. Klmer Wis worth Know lew, author of the new hook entitled: "The Key to the Development of the Inner Forces." The hook lays r bare many as tounding facts (1 laeavs e s and ' habits without drugs or medicines; even the tcoinplex subject of projecting thought a (telepathy) is explained, Miss Josephine Davis. the popular stage fa vorite. whose portrait appears above, declares that Prof. Knowles' hook opens the door to success, health and happi ness to every mortal, no matter wlmt his or her position in life. She believes that Prof. Knowles has discovered principles which. If universally adopted, will revolutionize the mental status of the human race. The book, .which is being distributed broadcast free of charge, is full of pho tographic reproductions showing how these unseen forces are being used all over the world, and how thousands upon thousands have developed powers which the'v little dreamed they pos sessed. The free distribution of the 100.000 copies is being conducted bv a large London institution, and a copy will be sent post free t«» anyone inter ested.

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES Wliy Foreign Nomenclature Often Puz zles American Headers Foreign geographical names of leu prove confusing to American readers because each European country lias a name of its own for each of its cities, rivers and other geographical features. Every other nation has a different name for tho same thing. American geographies follow the English in their nomenclature, but often employ a dif ferent pronunciation. For example, wo call one Belgian city Antwerp, while the Belgians and French call it Anvers. We term anoth er Belgian city Mechlin, while at homo it. is termed Maliues. The river Meuso is pronounced in Belgium and franco very nearly as we would pronounce it, while the Germans pronounce it as if it were spelled Moysay, and tho people of the Netherlands call it -the Mans. Brus-_ sels is spoiled Bruxelles at home, and thf» final sis not pronounced. Deader monde, on the river Deader, is pro nounced Dandermond by its inhabitants but it is known as Termonde in most of the geographies, Aalst is also spelled Alost, Louvain is Leuven at home, Vienna is Wien and filient is Gaad, Ko one might go down the line. It Is to be hoped that some day the geo graphical societies will get" together and agree upon a nomenclature that will he universally adopted.—Detroit Tribune, nrar* i " BHI ■ II^^BEEHShK&O*!
