ONE MOTHERS SACRIFICE

The depth of a mothers love for
her child was illustrated in Buffalo,
n. Y, the other day. The Buffalo
Courier tells the story:
"Aug. %, l4-year-old Lottie Ehrig
was terrible scalded. The skin was
burned from her back and limbs, and
something more than two-thirds of
the body's surface was exposed.
Medical authorities say that in such
cases the injury proves fatal. The
other day it was decided she had one
chance for recovery and that was by
grating on her body skin from the
body of another person. The mother
of the child Immediately volunteered
to give herself into the physicians
hands to aid her child DR.. Carr and
DR.. Gallagher performed the delicate
operation. At the crucial moment
the mother appeared. From her
arms and body were taken 60 pieces
of skin. Both surgeons are satisfied
wirh the operation and hope for the
child's recovery"

On Only THIRTY Acres.

Those who pass through Florida
on the cars are not familiar with the
conditions existing on the numerous
farms hidden by the pine trees which
dot the country and, as they cannot
see them, they imagine that there are
none.
But there are hundreds of little
farms and groves which are bringing
to the owners good livings and some
thing more.
A little farm owned by b. M. Smith
has a good large farm house and
barn. Around the house is a beauti-
ful grove covered with a fine growth
of lawn grass. Magnificent trees
shade the house and lawn.
The visitor looking at it naturally
asks, "What can be raised on Il place
Of this kind ?"
First, on II low piece of ground he
las a banana plantation that is a
curiosity to even old settlers in this
emi-tropical country. From these
,lants are now hanging three thou
and punches of rapidly ripening
ruit. The market for this fruit is
light in the city and the owner is not
compelled to ship way a single
bunch. He receives seventy-tive
cents bunch on the streets of Or
lando.
On another part of this land there
is a prosperous pinery, covering
nearly an acre; from this he will get
this year several hundred crates of
beautiful'fruit. He also has POO or
ange trees, the greater portion are in
fun bearing, and which will produce
hundreds of boxes for shipment this
fall and winter
He has among other fruits, plums,
figs, strawberries, guavas and per-
simmons and a large number of pc
can trees. He keeps several cows
and a fine flock of Plymouth Rock
fowls.
Altogether he has on his place
about all that family can consume
and enough left over to bring him in
net income of something over $1,000
a year.
Where is the 30 acres in any other
part of the country that will do as
U. d Citizen.

THIS Boy HATED STUDY

Because he did not wish to attend
school James Merrinlan' l5 years of
age, set fire to the Jonesboro Ind,
school building, in which We're 4O6
pupils. Miss World, a teacher in the
building, saw the boy running from
the building and asked him what
had happened. He made no reply,
but fed down the street. Miss.
World passed on into the building,
when she discovered the cloak room
on fire. She gave the alarm and the
children We're marched from the
building in good order, as they had
been well trained in fire drills. The
teachers then directed their atten-
tion to extinguishing the flames and
succeeded in doing so. The boy was

EVENTFUL TRIP
FROM COLONIES
sonoma Fireman Jumped Over
beard and One Man Died
on the Voyage.

The Oceanic liner Sonoma had an
eventfnI passage from the Colonies to
Honolulu.
When steaming out of Sydney harbor
one of her firemen jumped overheard
but was picked up by a tug-boat and
taken back to Sydney. Mr.. Tobin, one
of the Worlds Entertainers, died on
the trip from Sydney to Auckland. The
Sonoma has three bodies on board, that
of Tobin, and those Of two other Am
orleans who died in faraway Australia.
Purser Hodson reports that the
out of Sydney.
The Sonoma got in from the Colonies
in the morning. She had a large pas
senger list to this port and on her de-
parture at a late hour in the afternoon
took a large number of passengers from
Honolulu. The Territorial band played
her off. A big crowd watched her de-
parture and several amusing incidents
occurred. A drunken man was helped
up the gangplank and for an hour he
to friends on the wharf and displaying
several bottles of whiskey which he
referred to as .ammuni-
ton" In banging these bottles around
he broke one of them and tears drop
ped down his haggard face as he watch
ed the liquor creating a miniature
Niagara Falls as it trick1ed down the
side of the steamer.
Mrs. Little and Miss Little, wife and
daughter of the chief engineer of the
Sonoma, were passengers to the Coast
after a pleasant visit in Honolulu,
George Scott, well known along the
waterfront in brokerage circles, went
to the Coast for a vacation. When
leaving he scattered coin over the
wharf and told his friends to ''go and
have one
]. Cohen, manager of the Orpheum,
and Mrs. Cohen are bound for the
Coast where Mr.. Cohen has numerous
business affairs to attend to.
No one was permitted to visit the
vessel during her stay in port.
