WY E expected to have another
w lot of the 2 IL cent dam
aged Ginghams for our
customers this morning, but a visit
to the mill at Westbrook shows
that the process of drying them off
puts most of them in perfect con-
dition, so that there are not as many
damaged ones as was anticipated, and
they accumulate slowly.
We hope to have lot to offer for
sale sometime next week, and will
announce the date in the daily

volver at the big cat which was slow
ly creeping towards her.
When within half dozen yards
of it's intended victim the beast rose,
dashed itself in furious passion, and
then, crouching low, with a hidious
scream launched it's hugh body into
the air directly towards the kneeling
girl.
Poor Bob had now pulled up the
struggling horses, and as the pan
Their leaped, he closed his eyes and
shuddered.
pistol shot rang out, and another
and yet another-three in all-and
then opening his eyes, theman looked
back and shouted for joy at what he
saw.
The brave girl, with every nerve
set held the pistol quite straight, and
as the panther leaped, fired point
blank in it's face, but had she not

out of her frail form. AS it was she
leaped nimbly to one side, and as her
big antagonist rolled head over heels
in the road she fired every cartridge
left at her struggling foe, and then.
as exhausted nature gave out, she
reeled for moment, and fell over i'll
a swoon.
Meanwhile, Bob, the driver, having
controlled the team and safely tied
them, was racing back along the road
using his utmost speed to reach the
spot where the contest between the
young girl and the panther was go
ing on. He arrived just as the latter
was gasping it's last breath, and Min
ME Whaley, recovering from her
swoon, rose up in time to greet with
smiling eyes, the tears of the strong
man as they rained down upon her.

The Daughter,

For many generations the idea
Of a woman was to be the clinging
vine and her sphere was in the
home. This idea has been taught
her from the cradle, and it is just to
her that men say women know no
thing about business. Has she had
the same opportunities and ideas
taught herto prepare her fora bust
ness career?
The time has come, however,
when a daughter should be taught
to lead an independent life and the
same opportunities and preparation
should be hers as for the young
man. This will not debar her from
love and home making if it come to
her, it will only better prepare her
for it. She will then know what it
means to earn money and how to
use it wisely, better understand
what a man has to endure out in
the worlds work and be more truly
his companion and assistant.
How much it means to be
daughter. There is mother to love
and help, learning all those little
home duties that make a home
beautiful for Rusl1in says, 'Where
every TRUE woman is there is home
though she has only the sky above
her head for a roof and the glow
worm for her lamp" I am sure
you desire to be all this and how?
Your opportunities are not many
you say, they are more than you
think. Learn to be your fathers
companion and assistant, write his
business letters, etc.
Right in your own home you can
lay the foundation for all that is to

ub-Tropic.

A wealthy Iowan with nine moth
erless boys in his nursery at home
has just added to his establishment
by adoption nine fatherless girls and
their mother, his brothers widow.
The second aggregation was formal
ly obtained at Ellis Island, where it
had arrived from Europe. This con-
spicuous act of philanthropy, it is
reported, is to be followed by an
other ceremony, which will give a
mother to all the boys and father
to all the girls, and thus perfect the
union of these two remarkable
households.

come after. Learn how to keep
house and do it so thoroughly well
that no one could do better, learn
how to dress yourself and do it well
according to your life and sur-
roundings. Aim for beauty, sim
plicity, appropriateness. Do you
know your face, figure and dress is
an index to your character? If so
learn to express it right. Remem-
Der that all labor is honorable, and
it is the spirit in which we do it that
degrades Or elevates it. Make an
art Of whatever it may be.
Take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity for study and knowledge,
going to college if possible, that
comes in your reach, and above all
aim for Christian life and character.
Put your trust and faith in your
Savior for in the hour of trials and
temptations it will be your greatest
safeguard.
The time may come for you to
leave the home nest and go forth
in the world as your brother is ex-
pected to do. 1t is better that you
should. AS you have cultivated
patience and industry in the home
SO also practice it in your business
life or whatever work you do. Be
truthful and honorable. Do your
work as we'll behind your employ
er's back as when he is present and
he will soon learn to trust you with
more work and responsibilities.
Though you take up a business ca
reer, be none the less a WOmanly
woman for a woman cannot be too
fine. Is she not the mother Of men
and it is largely through her teach
ing their ideas and principles are
formed. If this opportunity never
comes to you, the time will come
when yOu will influence one or
more men.
AS men demand Of women virtu-
GUS and right living so also is it
women's rightand due that they de-
mand the same Of men. In coming
in contact with men think how you
would like to have some other
woman treat your brother or
father. God hasten the day when
men will begin to realize the high
ideal women aim for, and say to
her, it is right, will help YOU.

"May I reach

That purest heaven, be to other souls
The cup Of strength in some great agony
Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love,
Beget the smiles that have no cruelty
Be the sweet presence of good diffused,
And in diffusion ever more intense.
So shall join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gladness of the world"

soon the cry broke out again in all
it's blood-curdling intenseness and
quite near this time, while noises in
the underbrush told that something
was coming along at rapid rate.
The driver now whipped up his
horses, and the passengers began tC
show signs of terror. Only the little
girl at Bob's side was at all calm, and
she with set lips and determined eyes
put on a brave face, and declared tc
the old driver that she was not the
least bit afraid.
Just then they crossed small
creek and began steep ascent or
the farther side. AS they reached the
top, the road turning sharply to the
left, another shrill, penetrating
scream burst forth and this time all
OF the passengers except Minnie VIVA
ley replied to it by one of fear and
horror. And well they might. There
| right before them on the bank at al
elevation nearly the same as the
coach stood an immense swamp pan
Their, it's fiery eyes glaring while its
long tail switched angrily from side
| to side. Scream after scream ISSUED
from it's blood red mouth, and it's ter
rible eyes almost snapped fire.
The horses, now thoroughly fright
ened, jumped forward, struggling
fiercely to get away, and at the same
moment the brute crouched for a
spring and made tremendous jump
fer the coach. The creature miscal-
culated the speed of the vehicle, how
ever, and instead of reaching the
driver and his companion it just
touched the rear of the stage, one
paw grasping the heavy shawl of the
girl, the other clutching the side of
the coach. over which it's body hung
so that the long tail was actually
trailing on the ground.
The horses went racing madly
away, ard Bob Wheeler found that
he had about all he could do in hold
ing on to the rein. Not so with the
girl beside him. Minnie Nhaley was
heorine, and seeing that the driver
could not aid her, she leaned forward
and grasped the revolver, and then
turning so as to face the beast be-
hind her, she pol1ed the pistol close
to it's head and pulled the trigger.
The report was followed by ter
rife yell from the panther, and these
noises together with the shoutings OF
the passengers caused the horses to
lunge so suddenly forward that Min
ME Whaley was torn forcibly from
her seat and hurled headlong to the
ground. The panther was also shak-
en- from the coach and it fell down
in the road where it lay for a mo-
ment furiously swapping at it's own
sides, and then it espied the young
girl only a few yards distant, rising
from a bunch of palmetto brush, in
to the midst of which she tumbled
not much hurt, but from which she
emerged fearfully scratched about
the head, face and arms.
Bob, the driver, gave a groan as he
saw his companion fall, and turned
to jump off to aid her, but the horses
were plunging forward with all their
might, while the other passengers,
almost scared out of their senses,

A FLORIDA HEROINE.

as the Big cypress 0WdIHp, anu, Iull-
ming along it's western border from
Punta Rassa, southwards, is an old
abandoned stage road dating from
the Seminole war, which formed, in
days gone by the only means of COM
munication between the nearest vii
lage and the few scattered settlers in
that lonely portion of the Peninsular
State.
In one of the rude cabins lying
close to the edge of the swamp lived
Minnie Whaley, only 13 years old, to-
gether with her widowed mother, an
elder sister and her aged grand
father, feeble and helpless old man.
A half-grown negro boy furnished
the help necessary for the cultivation
of a small patch of trucl-garden, and
half-acre of cotton grown annually,
together with many designs in bas-
ket and fern work skillfully executed
by the girls, brought in about the in
come that the little family were ca
pable of earning.
Early one spring it became neces-
sary for someone of the family to go
to Punta Rassa to make a few pur-
chases for the household, and as the
mother was unable to leave her home
duties, it fell upon Minnie and her
sister to make the journey in com
pany.
Bright one sunny morning the old
fashioned stage came rolling by, and
Bob Wheeler, the driver, with a loud
whoa" brought his lazy team to
standstill. AS it happened, there was
only a single unoccupied seat within
the coach, but Bob quickly arranged
matters by saying:
Zone of you young misses get in
side and 'tother one climb up here
'longsde me- I'll take ''keer' of you
both all right, an no mistake"
The road was lonely and wild
enough, running over high ridges,
through thick and gloomy ham
mocks, and across deep and rough
creeks. Former passengers had told
of panthers shot from the top of the
old coach, of deer and alligatOrs
killed while journeying through the
swamp, and, Bob, the driver, added
tothese weird tales by declaring that
he had, on several occasions, encOun-
tered ghosts in broad daylight while
travelling through the dense black
ness of the swamp.
However, as to that, the old coach
logged peacefully along on this day,
humping the passengers now and
then at a pretty lively rate, and caus-
ing Minnie Whaley to hold on with
all her strength to prevent being
hurled headlong from her lofty perch
beside the driver.
So they went on until the Leroy
hu1nmock was reached-which is a
long stretch of heavy, swampy tim
berland, so dark in places that it is
impossible to see whether the sun is
shining or not-and, while going
along in the darkest part of the
woodsthe passengers were very much
startled and alarmed by a shrill, ear
piercing screech which seemed to
come from spot in the jungle close
at hand

The Bowie District court is still
grinding. Many negroes will be
given two-year jobs in the state
penitentiary. White men have be-
come too smart to get caught, and
if they do have to run against a
snag of jury, they back out and
come again, with either continu-
ance or an appeal. They
manage to keep the case in
court until some witness dies or the
crime committed has been forgot
ten. The negro, however, has not
been educated to these means of
escape, and when he gets caught
his safest way out is to plead guilty
and get a light sentence or cut
through the brick wall and make
his escape by loosiug his identity.
The people have lost confidence in
courts, and this is why we read of
so many lynchings.
