Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents,
during the winter season, SO many
varied attractions as the State OF
Florida Besides its delightful climate,
which TO one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes of the North
seems almost ethereal, it is spre-eminent.
ly Il land of sport and pleasure. Along
its eleven hundred miles of saltwater
coast and In its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish of almost every con.
ceivable variety, from the migratory
tribes common to Northern waters to
the tarpon, pompano, and others of a
more tropical character. Nowhere in
all our broad land can the angler find r
creator variety of game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic
hunter finds safety. Deer, turkey,
bears, panthers, ana wild cats roam at
large through the more sparsely settled
regions, while birds OF all kinds may be
found in abundance throughout the
State. The more novel sport OF alliga-
tor an 'nanatee hunting may also be
indulged in by the more adventurous
tourist.
With its matchless climate, it's orange
groves, it's rivers and lakes, its boating
and bathing, its fishing and hunting,
and its extensive forests, Florida
presents nnrivaled attractions for the
valetudinarian, the lover of nstare, the
sportsman, and the explorer,
= To this attractive State the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has arranged
four personally-conducted tours during
the season of 1897, leaving by special
train January 20, February 8 and %,
and March o. The first three tours will
admit OF a sojourn OF two weeks in this
delightful land; tickets for the fourth
tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, 5000 from
New York, $500 from Philadelphia,
and proportionate rates from other

The blind Girl.

She would never see the sun rise
again, never watch the dawn flushing
over that low belt Of frs that marked
the verge Of the meadow. And her pic
lures, the tentative studies Of which
had constituted her keenest pleasure,
they would never be painted. No one
but herself would ever know how the
sun looked when it sank over hill field
green with the first green Of spring,
while far distant along the horizon the
trees were bare in exquisite tracery
against sky Of palest violet.
All, the days. the daysi She would
be "poor Grace" Her cousins would
surround her with their cheerful conso-
latory pity. their quiet, practical ac.

never be free again.
And then suddenly, in crash Of ter
ror, she saw the years, endless, innu-
merable. relentless from sinister gulf Of
time. Twice 10 was 88. She might live
her whole life over again and not be
middle aged. She might treble the num-
ber Of her years and still not be old.

was? Why did no one exclaim at it and
cry against iti-Elizabeth Garter in

Peacock.s Feather. Unlucky.

Unluckiness seems to be confined to
the bringing of the tail feathers of Ju-
nos bird into house. I am not aware
that this idea ia held outside this coun-
try, and II it is confined to England
many various causes may have led to
tho belief, which possibly arose in COM
paratively modern times-no earlier
than the crusades
Nothing is more probable than that
several crusaders brought home the gor-
geous feathers as curiosities, strange
sight, and so likely to make deep i'm
preston. Nothing is easier to conceive
than that some misfortune, death from
disease, loss Of wealth or other "bad
luok" may have happened to more than
'one possessor Of the beautiful feathers,
and that they would ON that account
soon be credited with being the cause.
A belief Of this kind once started is of
rapid growth and very long lived

Tours to California.

California has been most fttingly
termed the "Ttaly Of America" All
the delicious balm, the cloudless sky,
and rich verdure OF the great European
peninsula are duplicated in this sunny
land OF the Pacific. Here nature basks
in the sunshine Of her own beauty; and
here she has established her own sani-
tarium, where eternal spring inspires
everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the
one hand, the calm Pacific with its soft
breezes upon the other, and veritable
paradise of flowers, fruit and plants
between, man can find and needs no
lovelier land. To visit such country
is privilege, blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need Of a more comfort
able and pleasant way of crossing the
continent, inaugurated series of
annual tours to California, running a
through train of Pullman palace cars
fro m New York to the Pacific Coast,
and stopping at the principal points Of
interest en- route. The great popularity
of these tours demonstrates the wisdom
of the movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours
have been arranged to leave New York,
Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, January
81, February "a, and March 81.
The first tour will run direct to San
Diego via st. Louis and Santa Fe route,
and return from San Francisco via Salt
Lake City, Denver, and Chicago, allow
ing five weeks in California.
The second tour will run via the
Mammoth Cave and New Orleans to
San Diego, stopping at the Crescent
City" during the Mardi Gras Carnival.
This tour will return via Salt Lake
City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weeks in California.
The third tour will run via Chicago,
Denver, and Salt Lake City, allowing
passengers 10 return by regular trains
via different routes within nine months
All Of these tours either going or re.
turning, will pass through the famous
Colorado region, Gleuwood Springs
Leadyille, and the Garden of the Gods

are four daily newspapers in Moscow

llNCOLN'S RESOLVE.
It Was Made After He Had Heard STAN
ton In q Law Case.

There ia in all truly great men mix
ture of self reliance and of humility
two traits that are not so contradictory
az they seem. Lincoln exhibited both
traits in remarkable degree. His nets
showed the one, his words frequently
expressed the other.
An snecdote in McClures Magazine,
in an article by Ida M. Tarbell, If we
read it Alright, brings out the secret OF
this apparent contradiction. Lincoln's
humility impelled him to the exertion
which gave him his self confidence. The
anecdote narrntes the first meeting Of
the man who was to be president with
the mau who was to be his st cretary Of
war.
Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M.
Stanton were employed as counsel on
the same side in great patent case
which was tried In Cincinnati In 1866.
II WINS arranged by their clients-much
to Linooln's g disappointment-that Stan
ton should make the closing argument.
Lincoln had prepared himself for the
effort with unusual care, but he ao-
| quiesced good naturedly in the decision
which put him in the second place.
Stanton's argument was one Of great
force, and Lincoln listened to 1t with
the closest attention throughout. The
narrator of the incident, Mr. Ralph
Emerson, says that Mr.. Lincoln took a
long walk with him after the court had
adjourned for the day. Mr.. Lincoln
was silent a long time. Then he ex-
claimed suddenly:
Emerson, am going homei am
going home to study law"
"why, returned Mr.. Emerson, "Mr.
Lincoln, you stand ut the head of the
bar in Illinois nowi What are you talk
ing aboutf"
"Ah, yes" he said, IT do occupy a
good position there. and I think osn
get along with the way things are done
there now. But these college trained
men, who have devoted their whole
lives to study, are coming west, don't
you seeP And they study their cases al
we never do They have got as far as
Cincinnati now. They will soon be in
Illinois.
Another long pause; then. stoppirl
and turning toward Mr.. Emerson, lii
countenanoe suddenly assuming that
look Of strong determination which
those who knew him best sometimes
saw upon his face, he exclaimed.

they get out to Illinois will be read,
