SEPTEMBER CRADLE SONG.

When the happy darkness creeps
From the east across the hill,
Every little birding sleeps,
Every butterfly is still;
Every little clover head
Folds its haves and mods in bed,
While the starlight overhead,
Through the happy darkness, keeps
Watch DER every bird that sleeps.
Now, my little baby, bark!
Hear the tiny crickets' song;
Through the warm and happy dark
They are grooming all night long.
Happy, quiet dark, that brings
Nest and rest to weary wings,
Rest to all the woodland things-A
To my little baby, rest,
Lulled to sleep on mothers breast.
Oh, the happy. quiet dark!
Bringing rest from song and play
Till the morning wakes the lark,
Joyous for another day!
Happy dark, that brooding lies,
Warm and soft on fields and skies,
While the frogs sing lullabies-
Happy, quiet dark, that keeps
All things still while baby sleepsl

BRUTAL HUSBAND FLoGGED.

Tampa Tribune: Yesterday when
the boat arrived from Havana and
Key West, there were among the pas
sengers a stalwart Cuban with a small
delicate wife and little year-old babe.
Both mother and child looked as
though they were half starved and fit
subjects for sanitarium. Passengers
on the vessel tell horrible stories of the
manner in which the husband and
father treated his wife and babe. He
actually slapped his wife's face two or
three times and threw the babe into
the saloon of the boat. On arrival at
the Port the woman was so weak that
she had to be taken to the hotel for
treatment and nourishment While
there, the brute of husband demand
ed that he see that woman" Deputy
Sheriff Walker asked II that woman
was his wife, to which the Cuban re-
piled that she most emphatically was.
The official had already been informed
of the treatment accorded her on the
boat and invited him to go for a walk
to Picnic Island. The cowardly rascal
refused at first, but he was sufficiently
persuaded and he went. Mr. Walker
took him into the bushes and had him
to remove that portion of his apparel
that would permit leather strap to
get in its best work on his nude anat-
omy. For few minutes 1t is said that
the cries and yeils of mercy sent up
by the villain even startled the deni-
zens of the deep, but without avail.
Walker continued to thrash him until
he promised never again to strike a
sick woman or brutality treat helpless
infant.

COTTON COMING IN RAPIDLY.

Gainesville Sun: Reports from all
parts of the county are to the effect
that there is general and great activ-
ity at all cotton markets, and that
the ginners at the country places are
having their hands full in ginning all
the cotton received. The cotton has
opened at least two weeks earlier this
year than for the past twelve years,
and the bottom crop is opening so fast
as to tax the farmers to pick it in
time. All the ginners are working on
full time and some of them are oper-
ating at night. At Alachua, La
Crosse and High Springs the receipt
OF cotton this week has been very
heavy and there will be more received
next week. The crop is short every
where and the harvesting will be over
early. Near Alachua and Lacrosse
the farmers have been greatly an
noyed by the scarcity of labor. In
some instances it is impossible to
keep up with the crop, and a storm
at this time would cost that section
thousands of dollars in the way of
injury to cotton. Distressing reports
of short crop of cotton come from
the western part of the county, where
it is stated by farmers who know,
that there will not be half a crop Of
cotton. In that section the corn crop
was also cut short by the drought.
The receipt of cotton in this city has
been large this week. The staple is
beginning to arrive in carload lots
from all parts of Florida and South
Georgia

FALL WALKING HATS.

AT the North fall hats are already
being worn. The white or light colored
French felt sailor or Maid Marian hat
is little short of ubiquitous. But a
charming design, it is, becomingly
browning the face and lending indie
scribable smartness to the gown.
For the tailor-made street dress 1t is
trimmed simply with a rosette of vel
vet or with several bands of satin rib
bon finished with various sorts of fam
cy buckles: but for dressier occasions
there come more fanciful shapes and
more novelty of trimmings. Braids and
feathers promise to be much used in
autumn millinery. Dark blue felts VII
be trimmed with satin or taffeta rib
hons in the same color. and with this
there will be combined a brilliant
green parrot with red tipped wings
and barely perceptible tints Of yellow
on the head and breasts.
Light grey felts are trimmed with
gorgeous birds Of paradise In ALFRED
or all-grey. while the white effects are
decorated with black velvet and white
teffeta. There are also many pretty
pale ecru tints and these are orna-
mented with soft rich shades of dark
brown that blend deliciously with the
paler tone OF the hat and go well With
almost any gown.

adaptability to brooches and buckles.
The blossom itself frequently forms
the center, the stem and leaves being
twisted round to give the outline.
Sometimes the stalk forms the great
er part of the design, with a cluster
of the chosen flowers-lilies of the val
ley, sweet pea, hyacinth, clematis, or
forget-me-nots-at one side.
Beautiful heads, or complete female
figures, often strange and weird de-
signs, appear in many of the larger or
naments.
Some of the latest jewelry from Paris
is odd, almost queer in design. Among
the subjects sent out by the Partisan
designers are figures with an express
sion of agony upon the faces (Which
are nevertheless beautifully, writhing
amid flames that encircle them up to
the waist; or mermaids, whose limbs
descend into the translucent depths of
a mother of-pearl sea, clasp drowned
mariners in their arms.

THE SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.

Atlanta Journal: The Georgia
School of Technology will open on
Sept. "a, when Capt. Lyman Hall, its
president, expects fully 500 pupils, the
largest attendance in the history of the
institution. As a special feature of the
fall work, Capt. Hall says the appa-
ratus for the new experimental and
electrical laboratory win begin to ar
rive the latter part of this month, and
the students themselves will have the
privilege of putting it in place Great
practical benefit will be- derived from
this. The new laboratory has been
fitted through the $4,000 fund, half of
which was donated by the general ed
vocational board, and half by the citi-
zens of Atlanta, much of the local
contribution coming through the coll
umns of The Journal. The laboratory
when completed will be the very finest
laboratory of its kind In the entire
South. Altogether, the year promises
to be one of unusual success at the
archaeological school,, as the session
will be begun with remarkably bril-
liant prospects.

DID GRADY PREPARE FOR SUI
eide.

Atlanta News: There is a belief
among persons close TO Henry w.
Grady and to whom his actions were
well known that suicide may solve the
mystery of his disappearance. This
belief is strengthened by the action of
Mr.. Grady in the taking out recently
of a life insurance policy. Last jan
uary, or probably a month later, he
approached a friend of his who repre-
sents the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, telling him he desired to take
out a policy of between $35, 900 and $780,
600. = He said he would give the policy
to the Equitable if they would waive
the incontestibility clause. This, in
effect, is that the holder of the policy
invalidates the insurance If he COM
mts suicide, nationally or insane, dur
ing the first year. The insurance
agent told Mr.. Grady he would take
the matter UP with the agent here.
Robert l.. Foreman. This he did, and
asking them about 1t. The company
refused to eliminate this clause. An
effort was made then to persuade Mr..
Grady to take the policy in the Equita-
BILE for family and personal friendship
reasons. This Mr.. Grady declined to
do, saying he was going TO take II in
the New York Life. which made the
policy incontestible from date Of pay
ment OF premium, for suicide or any
other reason. The only difference be-
tween the Equitable and New York
Life policies was this one clause re-
latlng to suicide. At the time OF the
conversation regarding the policy Mr..
Grady is said 10 have remarked.
"Why, ! might decide 10 take my life
tomorrow by jumping or the Kimbali
House"

WOMAN KILLED A REAR.

Titusville Star: The woman that
had the bravery to shoot a full grown
bear at close range is Mrs. Henry
Benecke, whose home is on Banana
creek about twelve miles east of Titus
VILE For some time past Mr.. Benecke
has been troubled by a bear robbins
the honey from his bee hives, but the
animal was so sly about it that she
could not be caught in the act. While
Mr.. Benecke was away from home on
Saturday, the bear made a raid on the
honey. 1t was early in the night be-
fore the moon rose that bruin made
her appearance and her form was
hardly discernible in the darkness I'M
til she stood up on her hind paws
about to rob hive. At this time
Mrs. Benecke fired the shotgun at
close range, probably not more than
fifteen feet distant The apiary is close
to the house. and the bear fell dead.
Mr.. Benecke is very proud of~his wife's
daring act, but probably not more so
than she is herself
