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. McCrone were active
in "keeping things moving" and there
was not a dull moment for anybody.

CLASSIC WAR POEMS
Selected by J. 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!
Who would be a traitor kaavef
Who would fill a coward's gravef
Who so base as be a slave?
Traitor! coward! turn, and flee!

TO HOLD TR.U'K MEET MAY 22
Athletic Committee Also Fixed June
for Grammar School Event
The annual High school tra.'k meet
will be hold on the island on May 22.
a date fixed las* evening at a meeting
of a representative delegation of the
Harrisrliurg Track Athletic committee
held in the offices of Park Commissioner
M. Harvey Taylor.
The grammar schooi track meet will
be held on Thursday, June 3. Since the
Reading High school team last year
took ttoe field honors and won the
trophy a shield. tdie athletic committee
now is arranging to got a similar
trophy, one t'.iat will be contested for
annually for five years anil awarded
finally to the team taking honors the
greatest number of times within that
period.
Whether the new trophy will be a
shield, similar to the one awarded the
Reading team, has not been decided, the
committe preferring to get ideas from
manufacturers who will be asked to
submit -'hemes through a competitive
bidding. Each year, however, the win
ning team will be awarded a silver lov
ing cup.
George Hill, who had been serving
temporarily as secretary, last night was
permanently elected to thnt post.
Lawyers on Strike
In 1789 John Scott, earl (if Clon
mell, who wa-s lord chief justice ot'i
Ireland, mailt some insulting remarks
from the bench to Mr. Ha<cket, a mem
ber of the bar. who was conducting
an argument before him. A general
meeting of the bar was called, a se
vere condemnation of his lordshiip's
con'ihict voted with only oaie dissenti
ent and an unprecedented resolution
passed that until his lordship publicly
apologized no barrister would either
take a brief, appear in the king's bench
or sign any pleadings for the court.
This strike experiment was actually
made. The judges sat, but no counsel
appeared, no cause was prepared, the
attorneys all vanished, and their lord
ships barf the court all to themselves.
There was no alternative, and next da*
Lord OlonmeLl published a very amiple
apology by advertisement in the news
papers and made it appoar as if writ
ten on the evening of the offense and
therefore voluntary.—London L»w

The box, which is of delicately
carv?d ivory, contains receptacles for
joints and powders. There is also a
glass container, probably used for per
fumes. The box is opened by pressing
a concealed spring, Fnder the lid is a
piece of highly polished stone, which
served as a mirror.—Philadelphia

A Mystery of Nature
The worldwide fame Rnd distinction
of the sweetbrier rose are due to its
fragrant foliage. The leaves have rus
set glands on their undersides, which
secrete aromatic oil: hence the delicious
perfume of the foliage. Xo other rose
in the world has sweet scented foliage.
The perfume of all other roses is in
the petals in the leaves. There are many
types of brier roses witih small pink
blossoms and other characteristics ex
actly like the true sweetbrier. but not
one witfi aTomatic foliage. This is one
of the unexplained mysteries of nature.

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- <xxl, 25). and
now Ell. the priest of the tabernacle,
which was then at Shilob (1. 3; Josh,
xvlil, 1. 101, was somewhat oi't. of fel
lowship. for he mistook broken henrt
ed, praying Hannah for a drunken wo
man and did not control liis own sous,
honoring them above God, so that a
man of God had to come to him with
a reproof and a warning (1. 12-16; il,
27-36).
Reforc we consider the call of Samuel
in our lesson let us look at the circum
stances of his birth. His father. El
kauah. seems to have been a devout
man. going up from year to year to
worship and to sacriflce unto the Lord
of hosts in Shiloh (i, 3). But he had
two wives, which was contrary to
God's original arrangement and al
ways brought trouble. Hannah, who
had no children, was continually
taunted by the other, her adversary,
provoked sore and made to fret and
grieve (I, 4-8). Her refuge was prayer
unto the Lord, and He heanl her and
gave her this son Samuel (i, 10-20).
She called him Samuel because she
asked God for him (1. 20. margin),
and when she had, weaned him she
took him to Shiloh to servo the Lord
In the tabernacle Vltb Eli, visiting him
from year to year when she went up
to worship and taking him a little coat
(i. 24-28; 11. 18. 19).
The Lord abundantly rewarded her
for the gift of her llrstborn, for He
gave her five others, three sons aud
iwo daughters (11, 20, 21). So Samuel
grew before (he Lord and wns In fa
vor both with the Ixird and also with
men. and the was with him, and
all Israel knew that he was establish
ed to be a prophet of the Lord (il, 21.
20). now beautifully the Lord did
bless the boy who was dedicated to
Him even before his birth, and how
grandly He did rewnrd his motherand
cause her to forget her misery and
sing for Joy! Her song in chapter li.
1-10, which is also called a prayer, is
one of the most beautiful on record.
Returning to our lesson story, we
read that one night, or perhaps townrd
(he dawn (verses 2. 3. 15). Samuel
heard some one call him. nnd. suppos
ing it to lie EH, he rati to him, but, on
being assured that Eli had not called
him, he lay down ngaln. The second
time he heard his name nnd went
again to Ell, but was assured as he
fore. Not until he heard his name the
third time and for the third time went
to Eli with the words "Here am I" did
Ell perceive that ,th* Lord was railing
the child. Then lie said to liim. "If
yon are called again say, 'Speak. Lord,
for thy servant heareth."" For tho
fourth time the Lord called him aud
this time mentioned his name twice—
"Samuel, Samuel."
I have found only seven people In
the Bible who were thus addressed,
and there must be some slgniticanee
In it. whether we can see it or not.
Look them up and ponder the circum
stances prayerfully. On he'aring this
fourth call Samuel replied as Ell
taught blni. and then the Lord gnve
to Samuel the solemn message for Ell,
which he faithfully ropeated to htm in
the morning, telling h'tn every wlilt
and hiding nothing from him. It is
doubtful if either of them slept again
that night. Samuel had his first mes
sage directly from the Lord, and EM
was no doubt wondering what it could
be. They each had enough to think
nbont Samuel from tills time onward
seems to have had always an ear for
God. Note the peculiar lnnguage of
I Sam. ix. 15. and may we all have
■similarly anointed enrs to hear His
voice. Ell saw the justice of it all.
remembering no doubt the words of
the man of God In chapter 11. 27. and
he mibmiflslvely said: "It la the Lord.
Let Him do what seemetli Him good"
(verse 18). Compnre Job I. 21; 11. 10;
Ps. xxslx, 9; Isa. xxxvlll. 15; xxxlx. 8.
The Senses.
If you shade your eyes you weaken
your sense of hearing. If you sip a

for a short time your power of vision.
If you fill your mouth with tfater you
will greatly strengthen your sense of
smell.—lndlana|)Olis News.

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
