CHAPTER w.

CAPTAIN STARBRIGHTE RAGE,
Captain Starbright stood in the center of
the room the very picture of chagrin and
rage. His rebuff had been both unex-
pected and deeply cutting. He was not in
the habit OF being thus treated by one of
the weaker sex.

phasls. swell, did think had you in bet

A PEOPLES Civilization.

We have faint recollection of having
heard some one say something to the effect
that the public roads are an index to the civ
ilization of a people. If this be true the civil.
ization of this people are taking an upward
bound. The roads are being worked, and new
routes for Old roads are being surveyed. New
bridges are being built and new roads are be-
ing opened.
We think flowers are as good an index to
culture and refinement rs are public roads 10
civilization. Mr.. DuPre Will help furnish
both Indexes. He works the roads and grows
the raost splendid flowers that ever adorned
field or garden, or certified 70 the culture a'iu
refinement of any people, His hot house Is
now filled with the most splendid flowers that
ever delighted the vision of maldens cuitl-
yated taste or commanded the admiration oil
her less aesthetic brother.
Cali on Mr. DuPre, and for q song you can
get flowers that will raise in the scales of cnl
ture and refinement, and then take Your
roads and Improve your civilization. Roads
and flowers What more!
