But his heart continued to throb and ms oraln to burn and his eyes to see those red end came at last when heart and brain went dead. too and the attempt on the honor of the Indian girl was avenged. Bound to the pollard. the Indians left the corpse with the ring still girdling the tiinaer-left it for the vultures to pick. for the withes that bound it to the tree to decay and for the bones to fall in a heap to the ground.

He had been in Florida sixty years and all his life had been hunter and guide. spending much of his tune WILT the remnant of the Seminole tribe still in the Southern portion of the State.
 One night the party campcd on knoll at whose base bubbled a bold spring. The next morning, while searching Tor wood to build d fire, an exclamation ron the guide caused the hunters to gather about him Right on the summit of the knoll the guide had found a pile of bones. and examination showed that they were the remains of a man. In moving the bones there was a gleam of something yellow and after q little a gold ring was fu'lnd. The ustcr of the metal was but sl..nily dimmed. and after being rubbed it was as bright as ever. Inside the ring. standing out as clearly as when first cut were discovered the letters:

 About tho campfire that night the guide told the story of the torture of the white man who repaid the kindness of the h. diaus by an insult to the daughter of the chict. In the party was Georgian whose uncle. years before he was born. had fled the State because ho had killed q friend in quarrel over cards. The memory of the crime had faded and the fate of the uncle was never known. The Georgian only recalled it as vague story he had heard in his youth. But he remembered when a boy that he was pctted by a sweet-faCcd lady who seemed tn carry a great grief in her heart and who told him he was very like one of his uncles who was unfortunate.

The several amendments to the Article of the Constitution on representation at the Congress were all defeated ana the law was not changed.
 Amendments to the Article on the pro- portion of annual dues to be paid to the National Society were lost, and we Will continue to do as we have done, that IS, each member will pay 2 annually; si will be paid to the National Board; if a member at large. g will be paid the Ma tional Treasurer.
 The amendment regarding the date for paying the annual dues was carried; dndH M1S. and Mrs. Darwin gave excellent ana convincing reasons why 1t should De done Ion or before the 1lth day or oc- tober instead of on or before the 22nd of February" It is very hard on the Treas urer-General to receive dues from Feb ruary 1st to the 10th or 22nd and make out her report to be given at the Con gress during the Last week in February. And just here some of our women labor under an error: the dues which were paid in February, 1901. were not in- cluded in the report of the Treasurer to the Tenth Congress. but were Tn the re, port made to the Eleventh Congress and inc dues paid in February. 1902, will be reported in 1903 to the Twelfth Congress.

 234. BORDEN-A kind friend has re- gently given us the pleasure of reading the record of The Borden Family,
 compiled by Mrs. Hattie Borden Weld The book begins with interesting descrip- tions of the Bordens in England and beautiful picture of the coat of arms. The author gives proofs that the family came over with William the Conqueror; and the descendants are now to be found all over England and Scotland. There is good reason to believe that the an ccstor of the Bordens of the query came from eKnt County. This branch of the Borden family has been living in Kent County ever since the reign of King John, 1l97. Borden Parish, Borden village, Bor- den Manor of this county are described. Tradition says that John Borden was born here about 1510 he married and then moved with his family. including his sons Richard and John to Wales. These two sons married there each of the wives bearing the Welsh name of Joan. They both came to America about 1855 The descendants of John are unknown All the Borden families described in this book are descended from Richard. We will accordingly begin this record with him

: Tribute to Commodore Maury.

The syren and Shipping Of recent date
in an article on THE United States
photographic Office pays high tribute
to Commodore Maury. It says:
The American seaboard IS watched
over BY the Coast and Gecdetic Survey;
bptEit is to the Hydrogra phic Office the
ddep-water mariner turns for irforma-
ton as to where he may find a fair wind
or a favourable current, or where the
safety of his ship and all hands en-
ydangefed either by rock or by shoal.

Ran, Matthew Fontaine Marry, in 1914.

sineIlt has never, for one moment, for
gotten or ignored the principles under
lying the very existence of such an Office
WithA the assistance of officers of the
United States, allotted to shore duty for
the purpose. Maury drew up charts of
Withstand currents which were a 5reyela-
! ton, aven TO the old sea-doss who wor-
shipped solely at the much frequented
shrine OF rule-of-thumb. Maury's bril-
linat- deductions from somewhat imper-
feet data, rather rapidly got together,
burst upon an astonished nautical world
with hurricane intensity. Tracks that
had done very we'll for generations of
windeiammers he showed to be erroneous;
he indicated more preferable routes; and
THUS materially shortened the number of
days occupied on passages across the
neear. In 1861 he resigned, and followed
his native state into the Confedera cy.
geographic Office thereafter to be So
'talled, was established for dealing with
charts, sailing directions, marine me-
horoIogy and in fact, anything tending
to- make passage less irksome or more
safe.

AUTOMOBILES AND CIVILIZATION.

~ built on a real and enduring basis. IT
ss an old saving that you may Know a.
nation by its roads, and 1T is certainly
true that the greatness of Rome, after
al! said and done, has been wonderfully
shown to modern people by her aquc-
ducts and her roads. We are grcgarfous
animals and we like TO flock together. 10
he solitary IS to be either a god or a
beast. and most OF mankind are neither.
From every standpoint. therefore, of civ
ilizat!on and commerce and even religion,
good roads play an enormous part IN inc
development: of the character and thereby
OF the life OF nations.
Everyone cannot use the railroads AT
will, hut every man can Walk, trundle OF
drive his produce &c market over 4 ROAD
il the road itself lie good. 1t has been
demonstrated by the Southern Hallway
that for selfish motives It paws a railroad
10 help defray the cost Of getting gooo
roads into territory through which 1t
runs hut the motive is no objection. Tor
from selfish motives men first sheaFeh
sheep and bent their bows against the
defenseless deer of the forest, whcrefrom
man became better fed and better clothed
and so more civilized.
r. fhn biCyGIc was
first invented that it would give us good
roads, but the natural laEincs5 OF man
prevented him from first making GOOD
road in order that he might thereafter
pedal himself around. He preferred rath-
or to stay at home in slow comfort or
10 he dragged by some laboring horse
through squshy mudholes. But today the
automobile lids fair to do what the bi-
cycle never commenced to accomplish.
When a man needs but 10 push a lever in
order. to be borne whittier he will, he will
seriously consider whether lie should
Solt and bump over hillocks and through
cuagmircs. when by, a little exertion he
might ride in speed and comfort. And so
The automobile as soon as it can be re-
duced TO a price which will make 1t
nossible for others than millionaires to
own it. will inevitably bring good roads in
lis train.
1t was the good roads of France that
helped more than anything to develop
The automobile to its wonderful efficiency
In that country And when VIC begin
to make automobiles here We will have
roads as good as those Of France and
automobiles somewhat better.
BY all means let the citizens of Rich
mond and Henrico county turn out TO
get the Southern good roads train TO come
here and give us a practical dcmonstra-
ton of how roads can lie made and money
saved.
