The Ladies Whist Club.

The Young Ladies Whist
Club was entertained Thursday
afternoon at the fun loving and
refined home of Miss Boul ware,
corner Vine and Charles ST. by
Misses Anna Boulware and
Louise Lyon.
The Club met to engage in
the enticing game of whist and
from 2:30 to 500 it was cut
shuttle and play and it is safe
to say that four boys never
slipped off to the barn, turned
the half bushel measure upside
down for a table and then had
half the fun out of Old Sledge
or High Five.
Members present and partak-
ing of the game and delightful
luncheon we're: Misses Mary
Carson, Sue Anderson, Carolyn
Rogers, Ada McClintic, Mes,

GOOD ROADS.
A Subject in Which all are Interested.
Attend the Meeting.

The laws of Missouri are such
that any locality can have good
roads if it so desires. The
people of and near Monroe City
have shown that they are in
terested IN good roads because
they have built many Of them.
The Missouri Road Association
is doing a good work in cur
state because it is causing the
people to see the good to be de-
rived from good roads and the
necessity of having them. The
Society is also in position to
advise as to the best way to get
good roads at the least eX-
pense. Whenever an Oppor
turitv offers all citize S
should take advantage of it.
At B o'clock Friday, May IL,
Hon. @ W. Waters, secretary
of the Road Association will
speak in the Council Room and
all who are interested in the
great question of better roads
should attend. Let US keep
moving forward in this good
work. Take your neighbors
with you, Don't forget the
date, May Is.

p%retticst in the world. The floral setting
is unsurpassed and the electric lights.
nesting like dewdrops among the foliage,
make a scene that reminds one Of fairy
land stories. In the morning we awokc to
find that a rain during the night had left
the already fine atmosphere more refresh
ing and the sun brighter than before.
Carriages were ordered for the entire
party and the morning was spent in view
ing the principal sights of interest. As
we rode along enjoying the balmy air we
felt that while Ponce de Leon did not find
the fountain of youth he sought he at least
discovered a land close to 1t.
The streets are paved with a mixture of
crushed oyster and clam shell mixed with a
native cement, which makes a most splen-
did roadway. We rode down quaint narrow
streets with overhanging balconies and
passed the oldest church in America, the
cathedral. This church was at one time
partially destroyed by fire, but the front OF
it was saved intact and stands today as IL
was built in 1898, when all Florida was n
kings domain.
On st. Francis street we passed the Old
est house in the United States, now 1896
years old. Its queer pattern gave one an
idea OF the style OF architecture used at an
early period. The house is occupied and
on the door is an old brass knOcker that
the servants have to remove into the house
every night, for even in civilized America
If left out 1t would soon be taken as a
relic.
A drive took us past the old slave mar
ket, at whose block so many humble homes
were blightcd, so many hearts broken and
sent to strange places to ooze out their
life blood. In the old part Of the city we
drove past Treasury street, which is SO
narrow as barely to allow the passage OF a
team. The women, with backs against the
buildings, can reach out and touch fingers
across the street. It is now barred by pill
lars at the ends and only pedestrians can
use II.
The next point of interest was Fort
Omaha daily bee., 1902-05-18

This ancient fort was begun In
1865 by the Spanish for the protection Of a
colony founded here. II contains chapels.
court and council rooms and a dungeon.
In the chapel are remnants OF the old
timbcrs that supported the platform for
the choir and a portion Of the two fonts
for holy water. Some of Spain's best clergy
have held mass here. what suul-stirriuE
services they must have had during long
sieEcs, whenever the last sad rites to the
dead were held amid flying shot ana burst
ing shell.
In the dungeon prisoners and offenders
OF the law were confined. Opening off the
main dungeon are two rooms that were not
discovered until 1895, and tradition Gays
in one OF them were found two skeletons In
iron cages bolted to the wall. The evidence
that remains today is two places in which
the cages were fastened. AZ one time
Osceola, one of the leaders Of the Seminole
Indian war, was confined here.
From the fort, whose gloomy walls seem
to breathe of the death and anguish they
have witnessed, we emerged into the beau.
tiful sunlight and drove through the old
city gateway. This gateway, with about
thirty feet Of wall on either side, is all
that remains OF the Qualifications that once
defended the city. But that regime OF
blOodshcd and horror has disappeared from
the face Of the earth and the gate now
stands open to all who may seek entrance
to THE New Florida"
In the afternoon we visited the Ponce de
Leon hotel, which Is one Of the very finest,
in both structure and appointment, Of any
in the world, and i'm the evening we at
tended a sacred concert in its large ro-
tunda.
Surprise for the Leader.

water. A large monument now marks the
spot at which the raiders left it and took
to the woods. Those of the raiders who
survived have also erected a monument to
their fellow comrades in the National ceme-
terry in Chattanooga.
At Allatoona Pass was fought a decisive
battle, while General Sherman made it his
base of supplies. As the train sped into
the pass we all watched the west side Of
the track for a glimpse of the most char
acteristic memorial of that battle-a lone
grave. 1t is neatly fenced and a marble
hCadstone bears the inscription;

HERO.
He Died for the Cause
He Thought Was Right.

During this battle General Sherman from
Kcnesaw mountain, succeeded in exchang-
ing messages with the original station on
Allatoona Heights. 1t was this message
and the thrilling situation that inspired
the lines:
Ho, my comrades. see the signal
Waving in the sky,
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh.
Hold the fort for ! am coming, etc.
Mr.. Carroll Of our party had been i'm
Andersonville prison, and with the remi-
niscences that he and Mr.. Latimer gave us
amid the old associations we seemed to be
living over a struggle long past. But the
sky has become overcast with clouds; a
drizzling rain hurries the hour OF darkness
and the curtain of night falls, shutting
out from our view these interesting land
marks, making the sights like "The Lost
Cause" only a memory.
The curtains of the car windows are
drawn down, the bright lights, CHEEKY
voices, a few of Mr.. Bonnelrs stories and
a game of whist d~Ispelled any gloomy or
sorrOwful thoughts that the scenes Of war
may have aroused.

south. We were in the midst Of large
pine forests, with resin factories located
at close intervals. We soon reached Jack
sOnVille and were eager to enjoy such a
beautiful day, so after breakfast the whole
party chartered a car and visited the
ostrich farm several miles from the city,
on the banks Of the st. Johns river. One
Of the attendants of the farm took a black
cap and placed it over the head Of a fast
going ostrich, without the aid of which
he would have been unmanagcable. He was
then hitched to a light racing rig and
gave us a novel exhibition of speed equal
to a runaway automobile. Ii was the same
ostrich that made so many friends at the
Omaha exposition and was driven from
the grounds to the city postofice.
During the forenoon the thermometer
registered so degrees above zero, in the
shade. A marked contrast to the snow-clad
fields at home and the singing atmosphere
we knew those left behind were breath
ing.
After dinner all took a steamer ride
down the st. Johns river, which at this
point is a large stream flowing through
pine forests. The zophyTs from the river,
heavy with the odors of pine, were both
soothing and invigorating, 1t seemed that
we cOuld not ger enough OF TINS air into
our lungs.
We had expected the party to separate
at Jacksonville and the tickets were to that
point. But we had enjoyed each others
society so much and appreciated Mr.. Bon
nell's services to such a degree that we de-
cided to continue to st. Augustine together
to spend Sunday and see the points of in
terest under his guidance.
Two Historic Sites.
In the evening we continued our journey,
arriving in st. Augustine at 10 o'clock.
The air was as delightful as a beautiful
June evening at home, so after getting set
tied in our quarters at the hotel we went
for a stroll through the grounds of the
