Some of us now feel that we made a mistake by not calling in, tarly in the game, Picnic Expert Schamberg. who has had more to do with making successes of festivities of that kind than any other man in the Arcanum hereabouts.

Brother Schamberg, however, had strong prejudices against Wexford as a place for holding the picnic, so if had been chief for the, affair he would have, scheduled it elsewhere. Perhaps the Federal boys could learn something of value from Brother Schamb-crg for use in connection with their contemplated corn roast, which, no doubt, will be held at some place not too remote Irom the city.

Brother Albert J. Boon, of our hospital committee, haa gone to the seashore with Mrs. Boon for a few weeks' rest. An unknown brother in the Wiikinsburg district haa had a bad dream about Brother Boon or at leaat professes to have had such a dream; MY AWFUL. DREAM.

(By E. bell. Member si. August 2, 1016. I dreamed a dream last Monday night Which tilled my bouI with sore affright; Its spell so great that from the bed I tumbled out upon my head.

My nt'ck was very nearly uroke This is the truth, tia not a Joke; When, with a fearful start, I woke, I felt as though I like to croak. Pardon the slang, brothers, dear; I know you'll think it very queer That I'd Indulge in vulgar speech, 1, who 'mongst linguists am a peach. The dream, alas. It had to do With one beloved by more than few; His first name -ert. last name Boon May return home safe and soon! May he come back as large as life brothers, dear, I'll seiz? a knife And cut my throat the whole way through Should thla horriflo dream be true! "But what." you ask, "this vision dark-Did vicious, ablebodied shark Down Brother Boon with greedy Vim And wish there had been more of him?" Right, right you are, brothers, dear; very thing you seem to fear Occurred there In the ocean brine In this most harrowing dream of mine.

We're all aware our brothers went To the seashore, his good Intent To share with his devoted wife The gayest time of all his life. We all harp heard about those shark Which swallow men and founder barks Strange not that one of us should dream About those sharks and wake with scream. Our Brother Boon in chivalry Of any man th peer is he-How natural that to cry for aid He quick attention should have paid. One of those dreadful, hungry sharks. Esteeming It the best of larks To eat a lovely girl or two.

Not even taking time to chew. Was In th act of swallowing Two maidens fair from Ossining, Whose cries, ascending, shriek on shriek. Blanched e'en the very stoutest cheek. Save thst alone of Brother Boon; Said he: "It may be I'm a loon To aim to intercept that feast. But.

darn It, I will try, at least." So. swimming boldly to the spot Where those two damsels had been caught. In our dream, our brother dear. Who, as aforesaid, is the peer In chivalry of any man Who e'er has lived since time began. Looked that old shark right In th face And said to him.

"Tls a disgrace. You reptile fiend, that you should eat Those maidens, dainty, fair and sweet, Disgorge at once, you monster fish. Or you'll git what you do not wisn Brave word indeed, hut. Oh, alas! That old shark turned his of glass Upon the noble rescuer. And.

In shark speech, spake briefly: "Sir, I make no doubt you've heard It said That where an angel fears to tread, A fool will go a-rushlng in As though he'd naught to do but grin. Those angel gals that I've Just e't had no wish to be e't. you bet. But here you came e-swlmmlng up Inviting me on you to sup. Shall I refuse? not on your life.

I'm sorry for your waiting wife On yondr shore I'd e't her, too. Had she been ruch a fool as you!" Then, in our dream, the ample maw As big a one as e'er you saw Of that old shark closed in upon Poor Brother Boon "Jack Robinson." He could not have ejaculated Before, as hitherto we've stated. He'd gone to meet old Jonah's fate: Gruesome the story to relate McC. G. R.
