Did you give him a lift? He's a brother
of man.
And bearing about all the burden he
can:
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He was
slipping down hill.
And tlie world, so I fancied, was usink
him ill;
Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road,
Or did you just let him go on with his
load?
Did you know what it means to be los
ing the fight,
When a lift just in time might set
everything right?
Do you know what it means—just a
clasp of a hand.
When a mail's borne about all a man
ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was—why the
quivering lip?
Why the half suppressed sob, and the
scaldine tears drip?
Were you brother of his when the time
came of need?
Did you offer to help or didn't you
heed?

STRICKLE! GETS
RECESS MCE
President Selects Postmaster For
Hummelstown; Palm Again
Named in Crawford
.T. handis Strickler has been named
by President Wilson as the recess post
master for Hummeistown and he will
hold office until the Senate meets in
the fall and probably be confirmed
unless war should be made upon him.
This announcement was made yester
day at Washington. It was also given
out there that the President named a
former Philadelphian, Dr. Frank
Moore, to be Deputy Commissioner of
Fisheries to succeed Dr. K. F. Jones,
who has been advanced to the super
intendency of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey. Dr. Moore came to Washing
ton from Philadelphia in 1890 as head
of the division of scientilic research in
the Fisheries Bureau.
The President also settled a number
of post office disputes in Pennsylvania
by announcing recess appointments as
follows: Thomas McCobb, at Cochran
town; Andrew J. Palm, at Meadville,
and Preston L. Peters, at Saegerstown,
all in Crawford county; A. D. Cole
grove, Corry, and A. S. Knopp, North
East, both in Erie county.
The five latter nominations failed of
confirmation at the last session. Con
siderable opposition developed to the
appointees, who were recommended
by A. Mitchell Palmer. This oppo
sition came from within the Demo
cratic party ranks and was led by
Democrats of the Erie-Crawford dis
trict, who were opposed to the Palmer
leadership in the State. Representa
tive-elect Michael Uebel, who suc
ceeds a Republican in the district in'
the new Congress, sought to name men
for these offices, but Palmer refused
to treat with him and ignored recom
mendations made by Liebel. Mr. De
bet. on a recent visit to Washington,
asked Postmaster General Burleson to
accept his recommendations, but the
latter stood by Palmer, and to-day's
recess appointments followed.
