Both Ankles Crushed.

In a railroad smash up in 1875, had
both ankles badly crushed. Soon after
Blood Poison set in, and both legs, from
my knees down, were covered with ulcer.
ated sores, that refused all efforts to heal.
I was virtually helpless for ten years, be.
ing bedridden most of the time. During
all the time I was attended by the best
physicians in this section OF the State,
and must have taken cart load OF medi.
cine, without receiving any relief or be.
ing benefited in any way. In 1887 was
induced to try Swift's Specific Is. s. ~
I commenced to improve from the first
dose, and continued to get better, until
to-day l am as sound and well as any
man in the universe. This was two
years ago, since which I have had no
return of sores or any pain in the legs.
From my experience I conscientiously
believe that Swift's Specific Is. s. S. has
no equal as blood purifier, and I cheer
fully recommend it to any one suffering
from any disease of the blood. ,r,,

BY JIMMY BROWN.

After the time tried to photograph
the baby. my camera was taken away
from me and locked up for ever so long. Sue
said [ wasn't to be trusted with it and it
would go off some day when you think it
isn't loaded and hurt somebody worse
than you hurt the baby you good-for-
nothing little nuisance.
Father kept the camera locked for
about a month, and said when see some
real reformation in you James, you shall
have it back again. But shall never
have it back again now, and if [ did, it
wouldn't be of any use, for Pm never to
be allowed to have any more chemicals
Fatheris going to give the camera to the
missionaries, so that they can photo
graph heather and things, and all the
chemicals | had have been thrown away,
just because | made a mistake in using
them. | don't say it didn't serve me
right, but / can't help wishing that
would change his mind.
1have never said much about my 9TH
er sister, Lizzie, because she is nothing
but girl. She is twelve years old, and
of course she plays with dolls, and doesn't
know enough to play ball or do any thing
really useful. She scarcely ever gets me
into scrapes, though, and that's where Sue
might follow her example. However, it
was Lizzie who got me into the scrape
about my chemicals, though she didn't
mean to, poor girl.
Onenight Mr.. Travers came to tea, and
everybody was talking about freckles.
Mr.. Travers said that they were real
fashionable, and that all the ladies we're
trying to get them. am sure don't
see why. Eve mornamillion freckles, and
I'd be glad to let anybody have them
who would agree to take them away. Sue
said she thought freckles were lovely.

AS we seem to be filing our page this
time with compositions, here is one |
have selected. 1t was written by little
cOlOred girl nine years old. Although it
does not rhymeit reads quite like apoem,
for all poetry is not rhyme you know.
The teacher took little pansy plant to
school one day and, after telling them
about the flower, told them they might
let the pansy talk, and this is what the
little girl wrote:
81 am only Pansy Ny home is in
little brown house. | sleep in my little
brown house all winter; and am now
going to open my eyes and look about.
Give me some rain, sky, want to look
out of my window and see what is going
on, asked, so the sky gave lie some wa
ter and began to climb to the window,
at last l got up there and opened my
eyes. Oh what wonderful world [ seen
when birds sang songs to me, and grass
hoppers kissed me, and had a pretty
green dress. There was trees that grow
over me and the wind famed me, the sun
smiled at me, and little children smelled
me one bright morning me and the grass
hOppers had d party, he would play with
me, and naughty boy picked me up and
tore me up and died, and that was the
last of Pansy."
GIRLS COMPOSITION ON BOYS.
The following reads very much as if it
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-03-12

had been written by one of the big girls
at school. What do you think?
"Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls are young
women that will be young ladies by and
by. Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam, he said to himself,
well, guess | can do better if try
again. and then he made Eve God liked
Eve SO much better than Adam that
there have been more women than men
ever since. Boys are a trouble. They are
wearing on everything but soap. Ii |
had my way, half the boys in the world
would be little girls, and the rest would
be dolls. My papa is so nice that guess
he must have been a little girl when he
was little boy"

Friday.
Did you ever think how very important
Friday is in the history of the world? l
have been studying the subject and am
surprised to find how many of the i'm
pOrtant events occurred on that day.
In the first place this continent was dis
covered, and the Mayfower landed on
Friday. Three of our most famous men
were born on Friday: Washington,
Shakespeare and Napoleon. The Queen
OF England was born on this day. Why
is it that criminals are generally executed
on Friday: and is that the reason it is
considered so unlucky? know family
who would never go anywhere on that
day, nor would they begin a piece OF work
of any kind on that day, and when we
opened our shop on Friday they were
sure that we would have bad luck. There
are many sad tragedies that have taken
place on Friday. Charles 1, julius C@ser
and Joan of Arc all met their death on
Friday. Charles beheaded, Caeser assas-
sinated and Joan of Arc burned at the
stake. On the bright side our Declaration
ofIndependence was signed on Friday and
Lee surrendered on:the same day although
that was not a very bright day for all.
Altogether it is about equally divided
between the bright and dark side. A
great many battles have been fought on
Friday and they have their dark side,
for all they may be great victories.

HE KINGBIRD'S NEST-A TRUE STORY
Looking into tree tops
From my window high,
A busy little kingbird
Nest-building, did spy.
The nest seemed nearly finished,
But yet was something wrong;
At least twas plain it needed
To bind it up more strong,
Some length OF string or horse hair,
Which, banded in and out,
Would make, for little kingbirds,
cradle warm and stout.
No doubt the bird thus reasoned,
And, idly, so did I;
She, with intent of seeking,
From out the tree did fly.
But ere she found her long sought
Needed length of Irvine,
/ was out the window
And in the tree with mine.
Right deity did weave it
In among the strands,
And thought sure none would know it
From work OF kingbird's hands.
AAOA Al OiA my WAAOOWS
saw the bird return
With the thread she had been seeking
And a bit of lining fern.
Down in her nest she laid them
And then with head aside,
The thread of meddlers weaving
Among her threads, she spied.
With motion energetic
~ She pulled it out alone,
And then, with careful working,
Replaced it with her own.
Then chirping through the tree tops
With emphasizing jerk,
She said, my friend, don't NEEDLE
With another's work.
Or it, with generous prompting,
You have thread to spare.
Take care to know tits wanted
Before you place it there

Our Hannah Jane.

Our Hannah Jane was thin and weak,
And ashy white her lips and cheek,
We often thought-and thought with pain,
"We soon willlOse our Hannah Jane"
With change of doctors, change of air,
She sought for healing everywhere.
And, when our hopes were almost past
"Favorite Prescription tried at last.
1t gave us joy, it gave us hope
She ceased to pine, she ceased to NOPE,
[Pierce's remedies are sure and true1
Now Hannah Jane is good as new.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the only medicine for women, sold by
druggists, under a positive guarantee,
from the manufacturers, that it will give
satisfaction in every case, Or money will
be refunded. This guarantee has been
printed ON the bottle-wrapper, and faith
fully carried out for many years.

and it's agood thing she thinks SO, for she
has about as many as she can use; and
Lizzie said she'd give any thing if she only
had few nice freckles on her cheeks.
Mother asked what made ireckles, and
Mr.. Travers said the sun made them just
as it makes photographs. Jimmy will
understand it," said Mr.. Travers "He
knows how the sun makes apicture when
it shines on photograph plate, and all
his freckles were made just in the same
any freckles."
This sounded reasonable, but then Mr..
Travers forgot all about chemicals. AS 1
said, the last time | wrote, chemicals is
something in bottle like medicine, and
you have toput it on photograph plate
SO as to make the picture that the sun
has made show itself. Now if chemicals
will do this with photograph plate, it
ought to do it with a girls cheeks. You
take girl and let the sun shine on her
cheeks, and put chemicals on her, and it
ought to bring out splendid freckles.
I'm very fond of Lizzie though she is a
girl, because she minds her own business,
and don NEEDLE with my things and get
me into scrapes. I'd have given her all
my freckles if could, as soon as / knew
she wanted them, and as soon as Mr..
Travers said that freckles were made Just
like photographs, [ made up my mind l
would make some for her. So | told her
she should have the lest freckles in town
if she would come up to my room the
next morning, and let me expose her to
the sun and then put chemicals on her.
Lizzie hasconidence in me, which is one
of her best qualities, and shows that she
is good girl. She was so pleased when
promised to make freckles for her; and
as soon as the sun got up high enough to
shine into my window she came up to my
room all ready to be freckled.
| exposed her to the sun for six Sec
onds. l only exposed my photograph
plates three seconds, but thought that
Lizzie might not be quite so sensitive,
and so [ exposed her longer. Then l took
her into the dark closet where kept my
chemicals, and poured chemicals on her
cheeks. made her hold herhandkerchief
on her face so that the chemicals couldn't
get into her eyes and run down her neck,
for she wanted freckles only on hercheeks.
I watched her very carefully, but the
freckles didn't come out. | put more
chemicals on her, and rubbed it in with a
cloth; but it was no use, the freckles
wouldn't come. don't know what the
reason was. Perhaps | hadn't exposed
her long enough, Or perhaps the chemi-
calls was weak. Anyway, not a single
freckle could [ make.
So after a while gave it up, and told
her it was no use, and she could go and
wash her face. She cried a little because
she was disappointed, but she cried more
afterwards. You see, the chemicals made
her cheeks almost black, and she couldn't
wash it off. Mother and Sue made a
dreadful fuss about it, and sent for the
doctor, who said he thought it would
wear OFF i'll ayear Or so, and wouldn't kill
the child or do her very much harm.
This is the reason why they took my
che nicals away, and promised to give my
camera to the missionaries. All meant
was to please Lizzie, and [ never knew
