A RED CROSS KNIGHT.

The crimson glow of sunlight falls
Along the monumental walls
Where still in faded pomp are read
The name and virtues of the dead.
Yet from yon effigy of knight
The craven name has vanished quite.
No word remains, but stories tell
That he who sleeps fought true and well;
In kindness swift, in vengeance slow,
A constant friend, courteous foe.
Who partly fought for love of fight,
But chiefly for the love of right
To Holy Land he rode away;
Seek thou a holy land today.
With sword and battleax he strove:
Seek thou the armory of love.
He won on earth poor renown;
Win thou on earth loves fadeless crown.

Stage Smoking.

IF you ask the heavy villain why he
doesn't smoke cigars on the stage, he
will tell you that no property man,
however important the company may
be, will consent to supply cigars. Gig
arettes are much cheaper, and the stage
villain who defes all traditions and
smokes cigars always does So at his own
expense. And this is rather expensive,
inasmuch as the villain of the drama
usually wears a dress suit, is supposed
to be plentifully supplied with i'll got
ten gains, and only takes two or three
puffs at whatever he is smoking before
throwing it away. Until the property
man volunteers to furnish cigars we
must be content with the cigarette

THE BROKEN KEY.

The young and pretty bride felt wor-
ried and. out of sorts. Only short eight
weeks ago she had married her dear Gus
and had followed him to his home in
W., and already he had begun to neglect
her, to go ont of an evening, and to
leave her alone in the big house. He had
tried to convince her that he could not
altogether neglect his former friends
and companions, and that she ought not
to object to his meeting them Oh two
evenings every week, and to pass an
agreeable hour or two in their company
over friendly game of whist, but she
simply did not comprehend how he could
enjoy himself without her, how he
could even think of going anywhere
without taking her along.
"Oh, the dreadful evenings have to
spend" she complained, with tears in
her eyes, ct am obliged to sit here all
alone because I have as yet had no
chance to form any acquaintance here.
Naturally get homesick. Often I feel
like leaving everything and taking the
train home to my parents. -
"Would it not be better, darling, if
you went to bed instead and tried to
sleep?"
"That is just where the trouble is, .
she replied, still in tears, II am afraid.
Our servant sleeps way up in the attic.
She would not even hear were anything
to happen to RE. :"
"Why, you foolish child, what is
there to be afraid Of? What is going to
happen?'
care not the papers every day full of
burglaries and robberies?" she persisted
"Think of the many strangers that flock
to a we'll known health resort like this.
Nothing is impossible under such cir
cumstances ~
The husband looked thoughtfully at
his sweet bride.
"No, dear, I do not want you to
brighten yourself into illness. promise
you herewith, of my own free will (the
poor fellow could not help heaving a
sigh as he said this) to return promptly
at II o'clock whenever I go to meet my
friends. It is impossible for me to with.
draw myself from their society alto
gether, for they would ridicule and
make fun Of me, and call me henpecked.
Burglars rarely put in their appearance
before the hour of II, the streets being
full of life and traffic. Goodby, darling
and please do not feel lonesome. "
Annie sighed and submitted resigned
~ to her fate. She read awhile; she
then took up her embroidery, present
for her mother; she played game Of
solitaire, and finally she paced restlessly
up and down the room. At home there
had been large family circle; hence il
was very trying to her to be left SO much
to herself in her new surroundings.
At 10 o'clock even the familiar noises
in the kitchen ceased, for the servant
had gone up stairs to her attic, and the
poor woman felt the old feeling of dis
tress and fright creep over her. The sit
ting room was located at the rear of the
house, and there was hallway between
it and the front rooms. She therefore
could not hear the usual noises. A death
like silence reigned in the room. Tired
and yet excited, she threw herself on the
lounge. She sadly reflected why beer
houses and card parties had been called
into existence. BY and by her thoughts

THE FALL GARDEN.

Projecting Seed Beds From Sun and Beat.
ing Rains-What Vegetables to Plant.
Provident gardeners have already
done much work in the fall garden in
the way of putting the soil in condition.
Those with long experience appreciate
that it is intensive gardening that pays.
Most gardens cover too much ground
and receive too little fertilizer and Gull
tivating. The following hints from
Florida Ruralist can hardly fail to
prove helpful to many:
Seed beds should be raised few
inches above the surrounding surface
and shaded and protected from burning
sun and beating rains Best results have
been attained by having the shades be-
tween three and four feet above the bed.
It is preferable to use fertilizer or grain
sacks as a cover. It is we'll to prepare
these sacks by sewing together, and after
they have served their purpose in the
fall they can be put away to be used
again as protection from frost in the
winter months. The seed should be
sown thinly in the beds and covered &C
cording to the size of the seed. With
very small seeds we find it best to cover
them to the dep,h of one-half inch with
finely chopped sphagnum moss instead
of with soil.
The whole range Of vegetables, ex-
cept melons, eggplant, pole BEANS corn
and pumpkin can be planted in the fall
garden in Florida. AS to asparagus, if
seed is to be planted, it is to be done
during September Or October. If roots
are to be used, which is advisable in
small areas, plant about Nov. 1. We
advise the use of the Palmetto variety.
Any variety of bush beans can be sue
cessfully grown in almost any part of
Florida and the southern portion Of the
gulf states, if planted by Sept. Is.
Sow in drills two inches deep and four
to six inches apart in the drill, varying
in accordance with the robustness Of the
variety planted. When about to bloom,
draw the earth we'll up around the
STEMS
Sow beets in drills closely and thin
out to six inches apart when we'll
grown. Good examinations of beet seed
are seldom obtained during the hot
weather of September, and it is advis-
able to leave this crop go until October.
A good CROP Of cucumbers can be
grown in the fall by September plant
ing. The hills should be made four feet
apart each way and shovel full of we'll
rotted manure or muck compost worked
into each hill. Peas may be planted in
Florida during any of the fall and win
ter months.

love for him.

would now and then go to have social
game of whist, his wife never again
doubted him, even if he staid out later
