A Tour to Balny Florida via Pennsylva-

When the North is at its worst Florida is at
its best. When lakes and rivers are icebound
here and drifting snow fills our streets the
violets are blooming there and the air is laden

When Old Boreas howls around our northern
homes and the frost king rules, the mocking
bird is singing in Florida's graceful palms
and the whole land is melodious with happy
song. The elegant special trains of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Jacksonville tours are
fitting introductions to this delightful land.
The next tour, allowing two weeks in Florida
leaves New York and Philadelphia under
personal escort February 23. Round-trip
tickets, including Pullman accommodations
and meals ON the special train, win be sold at
the following rates: From New York

There are not wanting those who
sncer at love of country as narrow and
provincial. But we think 1t will be
found, as rule, that the man who has
no love for his own country and his
own people, as distinguished from all
the world, does not entertain very much
regard for humanity in general. True
patriotism-not the spurious kind thai
says: "Thou shalt love thy neighbol
and hate thine enemy" " but that which
upholds, defends and makes much Of
home and country-promotes rather
than diminishes worldwide sympa.
thies. There are no more devoted pa.
triots than the consecrated American
missionaries who spend their lives in
service for foreign lands. Our young
people should be instructed to associate
their celebration Of Independence day
with love Of country, and to learn les.
sons Of patriotism from those who on
this day pledged their lives, their for.
tunes and their sacred honor to wrest
the nation from a foreign yoke. The
Independence thus nobly won Is q
precious inheritance, they should be
taught, because 1t has permitted the de-
vclopment on American soil Of institu.

stretched hand without show Of
treachery.
Though we differ about the war,
Capt. Lee" said she, in her sprightly
manner. II cannot help asking you for
the latest news from the 'front.'"
There is but little to communicate.
There has been no set engagement of
late; the two armies seem to be plan

battle will come on for some time"
THAT is good. / do not like to hear
Of bloodshed. 1t is bad enough in this
part of the country between the for
ayers. but when large armies meet in
deadly conflict it is much worse. Still"
and her eyes seemed to sparkle, 1--WE
cannot gain our independence without
some bloodshed." si
Capt. Lee smiled.
II will never be able to convince you,
1 see," he said. Like Ephraim, Miss
Betty, you are joined to your iiols.'
Yes, captain, to the idols Of liberty
and prosperity for America. You must
admit that you find our soldiers men
difficult to conquer. When people fight
for their homes and native land they do
not give up the struggle without a terri
BILE contest"
''But in this case they are rebellious
and the king will not stop short Of their
entire subjection."
The young girls gaze wandered from
the room, and for a little while seemed
to rest on the bushes on the lawn.
Suddenly, however, abe turned agnln
to the o1ficer and said:

Fond of music, Capt. Lee importuned
his hostess for a song. and, rising, Betty
swept to the instrument in one corner
of the cozy parlor.
"Whnt are your favorites. captain?"
she asked, with sly look over her
shoulder.

In another moment the melodious
voice of the girl seemed to fill the house
as she sang the piece which had re-
ceived encore after encore in the the

Capt. Lee listened like one entranced
and his gaze followed her every move

Betty, as the last note died away, and
