Drifting.

No ships drift into harbor,
The ocean OF life has many
u hidden current, many a sud
den storm; and he who would
win port at last, must stand
to his helm, while his ship
drives on through the oppo.
sing currents and against
contrary winds. The perils Of
the voyage are very real; the
sailor sails On a sea that 10
strewn with wrecks. In this
sea nothing drifts except the
shores of destruction. Pleas
ant weather there may be in
the voyage of life, but never
weather so pleasant that the
hand may leave the helm or
the eye the compass. Where
there may be least peril OF
storm, there may be m o st
peril caused by an unnoticed
current. Keep, then, the eye
upon the compass, the hand
upon the rudder. That is the
only way to arrive at the de.
sired haven. TO let 60 t h Q
helm and to allow the ship to
drift before the winds and the
waves may seem to be t he
easiest, the most natural, ev.
en- the most enjoyable, thing
to do; but a voyage which is
conducted on that mistaken
principle is sure, sooner or la
ter, to end on the cruel rocks,
on the treacherous sands, or
in the dev0uring seas. Rev.
J. Bruce Caruthers.

STREET PARADE FLOATS.
Many Difficult Problems to BE Met In

Many Difficult Problems to Be Met I'm
Their Construction.
'"The making Of decorative street
floats is difficult trade" said a New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty of experience in the line he men
toned. There are SO. many things
10 be considered. For instance, a float
must look well both near and far. 1t
must be able to stand dash of rain.
1t must be light enough to go over ans
kind of street and solid enough to re.
Sist a gust of wind, and, most impor-
tant of all, it must be so constructed
that it will appear all right to folks in
upper windows.

from the north made several small
models for tableau cars that charmed

ROOsEvELT's SOUTHERN BLOOD.

Theodore Roosevelt is closely
bound to Georgia by ties of blood.
His mother, Martha Bulloch, was
the granddaughter of James Bulloch,
who was doughty soldier of th,
revolution, serving as a captain of
Georgia and Virginia troops.
The father of James Bulloch was
Archibald Bulloch, the first reyolu-
tionary Governor of Georgia, and his
father was named James Bulloch
also, a Scotchman, who settled in
Georgia in 1715, and was a member
of the Georgia provincial congress.
He was closely related to the heroic
Douglasses of Scotland. Thus Theo-
dore Roosevelt comes of illustrious
stock, Scotch as well as Dutch. He
has Huguenot blood, too, by reason
OF the fact that the wife of Archi-
bald Bulloch was Mary de Vaux,
granddaughter OF distinguished
liuguenot, who fed from France
after the edictof Nantes was revoked.
His mother was a woman of rare
beauty and graces of intellect. One
of her brothers was the gallant Cap
tain Bulloch, who resigned from the
United States navy to cast his for
tunes with the Confederacy. 1t was
he who secured that historic cruiser,
the Alabama, for the Confederate
government and succeeded in getting
her to sea in spite of all the efforts of
the United States Minister, Consuls
and agents in England. Captain
Bulloch never returned to this
country and died only few months
ago in London respected and honored
by all who knew him.

MONEY IN TOMATOES.

1t is stated on good authority that
the Bank of Humboldt, Tenn, paid
$l50,OO0 in cash in payment for the
tomato crop of that section. The
country around Humboldt is not
more than ordinarily fertile, but the
people seem to have discovered that
endeavoring to raise cotton on mp
lands is not profitable, and they have
made the equally valuable discovery
that other things can be raised with
much less trouble and which will
bring In much greater returns.
There are other things to be raised
besides tomatoes, and the people
throughout this section of the coun-
try shoaId give some attention to
diyersifying the various crops, to
the END. that they may reap a rich
reward for their labor instead of
eking out mere existence.-Mem-
phis (4snn.) appeal.
