"Do you know, I like these constant rains less than I liked being snowbound up at Cedar Lodge," put in Lieutenant Fred Rover. "Oh, there was some fun in being snowbound," declared Randy Rover. "A fellow could go out in it and have the best time ever. But what can a chap do when the rain is coming down to beat the band?" "Well, you can go out and get a shower-bath free of charge," commented his twin gaily. "I'll take my showers in the gym," was the quick reply. "Gee! listen to that, will you?"

A blinding flash of lightning had swept the sky, followed almost immediately by a crash of thunder in the woods behind them. Then followed another crash, as of falling timber.

"The Philosophy of Style" is an essay written by Herbert Spencer, a prominent 19th-century philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist. Originally published in 1852, this essay is considered one of Spencer's important works outside of his contributions to sociology and biology. The essay delves into the principles and characteristics of effective writing style.Key points from "The Philosophy of Style" include:Clarity and Economy of Expression: Spencer emphasizes the importance of clear and concise writing. He argues that the primary goal of language is to communicate ideas, and a good writing style achieves this with precision and simplicity.The Economy of Attention: Spencer introduces the concept of the "economy of attention," suggesting that an author should not waste the reader's mental energy. He advocates for a style that minimizes unnecessary complexity and allows the reader to focus on the substance of the message.Organic Metaphors: Spencer uses organic metaphors to describe the development of a piece of writing. He compares the growth of a sentence to the growth of a living organism, emphasizing the idea that each part should contribute to the overall harmony and effectiveness of the whole.Rhythm and Parallelism: Spencer discusses the importance of rhythm and parallelism in writing. He argues that a well-constructed sentence should have a natural flow and balance, contributing to the overall aesthetic quality of the writing.Emphasis on the Reader's Experience: Spencer emphasizes that good writing considers the reader's experience. Writers should be aware of how their words will be received and strive to make the reading experience as engaging and comprehensible as possible."The Philosophy of Style" has been influential in the field of rhetoric and has contributed to discussions on the art and science of effective communication. While some of Spencer's ideas may be specific to the literary conventions of his time, many of his principles remain relevant to discussions on clear and impactful writing today.

¿I¿ll race you.¿¿Done! Are you ready?¿ ¿I am.¿¿Then off we go.¿THE YOUNG OARSMEN OF LAKEVIEWCHAPTER IJERRY, HARRY, AND BLUMPOQuicker than it can be related, four oars fell into the water and four sturdy arms bent to the task of sending two beautiful single-shell craft skimming over the smooth surface of the lake.It was a spirited scene, and attracted not a little attention, for both of the contestants were well known.¿Go it, Jerry! You can beat him if you try!¿¿Don¿t let him get ahead, Harry. Keep closer to the shore!¿ ¿How far is the race to be?¿¿Up to the big pine tree and back.¿¿That¿s a full mile and more. I¿ll bet on Jerry Upton.¿¿And I¿ll bet on Harry Parker. He has more skill than Jerry.¿ ¿But Jerry has the muscle.¿¿There they go, side by side!¿And thus the talking and shouting went on along the lake front. Most of the boys present were members of the Lakeview Boat Club, but there were others of the town there, too, as enthusiastic as the rest.2It was a clear, warm day in June. The summer holidays at the various institutes of learning in the vicinity had just begun, so many of the lads had nothing to do but to enjoy themselves.There were not a few craft out besides the two shells to which we have drawn attention. But they drew out of the way to give the racers a free field.On and on went Jerry and Harry until the big pine was reached. Then came the turn, and they started on the home stretch side by side, neither one foot ahead of the other.¿It¿s going to be a tie race.¿¿Pull, Harry! Let yourself out!¿ ¿Show him what you can do, Jerry!¿Encouraged by the shouts of their friends, both boys increase their speed. But the increase on both sides was equal, and still the boats kept bow and bow as they neared the boathouse.¿It¿s going to be a tie, sure enough.¿¿Spurt a bit, Jerry!¿¿Go it for all yoüre worth, Harry!¿Again the two contestants put forth additional muscle, each to out-distant his opponent, and again the two row-boats leaped forward, still side by side.As old Jack Broxton, the keeper of the boathouse, said afterward: ¿It would have taken twelve judges, sitting twelve days, to have told which had the advantage.¿The finishing point was now less than five hundred feet distant, and in a few seconds more the race would be over. The crowd began to stop shouting, almost breathless with pent-up interest. It was surely the prettiest race that had ever been rowed on Otasco Lake.Splash!The splash was followed by a splutter, and then a frantic cry for help. A portion of the high float in front of the boathouse had unexpectedly given way, and a short, stocky, reddish-black youth had gone floundering over board.¿Blumpo Brown has gone under.¿
