ceding entertainments is taken into
consideration, the difficulty OF their
self-imposcd task is apparent, but

visitors from distance, including a

waning in popularity. A few years ago

Tor one or two seasons this diversion

several organizations of feminine devo-

game that requires less skill and
judgment than whist. and it is proba-

prefer the latter. There are Certain

The Home Is the Heaven.

Tu make it heaven is within the
province of every one. \ crust of
bread, a pitcher of cold water, a
thatched roof, log floor, and love
there's happiness in that dwelling.
Wine and turkey, Strawberries and
cream, a silver service, and no love
there's no happiness in that home.
The heart, not the belly, is the citadel
of love. Around it clusters the ten
drills of true happiness. 1t is the reg
istering thermometer of the home.
Guard it we'll Battle it in tears.
Mellow it in noble deeds. Soften 1t
with prayer. Riches are not to be de-

must rest on love. I4-t the other

come first; let it play its part around

will be a heaven and happiness viii

A Florida Hero.

In these days of piping peace it is
well to note that the old torch of hero
ism is yet alight among us. On Aug.
ust 3 Eugene Britton and Walker
Gwynn of Tallahassee had their boat
capsized about midnight, between
Carrbelle and st. Tersa in the Gulf.
They soon realized that they would
perish if they persisted in clinging to
the wreck, they were two miles from
shore, and the waves were high. Brit
ton could not swim, but Gwynn could,
although he was not strong, and had
been cripple from childhood. He
struck out, however, reached shore in
safety, run two miles to the nearest
house, secured help, and saved his
companion. That is the spirit that
rises superior to the weakness Of the
body.-Citizen.
