Remember the best friend, the best
con6dant, is your mother. Have No
friend with whom she is not acquainted.
Make her interested in what you are
doing, and If her trials are many. just
remember that TO gain sympathy you
must give il. Make Yourself your
mothers companion and friend. then
she will be yours. Do nothing that
you conceal from her and never believe
for minute that wher you have really
made her understand, sheEwiil not care
for what interests You.
Mother isn't 50 very much older than
YOU after all-it hasn't been such "a long
time since she enjoyed just what you do.
since life seemed as full OF brightness
as does yours, since she made as many
inquiries aad tried TO think out as many
problems as you do. and once you two
can meet on :his common ground. b.
sure that YOU will have nobody who
will as thoroughly sympathize with you
as does your mother.
Never. my dear girl, permit yourself
TO say or write this again: try first tc
find out II the fault is not with you. and
take as much care to cultivate the
friendship OF your mother as you would
that OF a stranger, and be sure that il
is a thousand time much better worth
the having. That 1t Is a friendship
upon which you may always rely. and
that il will be that most marvellous OF
all friendships. one where the thought
OF YOU will be the first and always. -

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nav 27.-A
singular result Of the fire last Monday

Many OF the papers dated back to l740
and very few Of the records can ever b.
replaced. great many lawyers are OF
the opinion that the fire has put an end
to all criminal cases pending before the
court and that new indictments must be
found and the cases begun over again.
As there are many cases still pending
against Middle Florida democrats for
alleged violations OF the United States
election law ia 1881 these opinions are
