THE CRAZY QUILT,

THE CRAZY QUILT.
One time I met a crazy Quilt,
But was not aY are
That 1t was crazy until 1t
Gave me a dreadful scare.
Its great delusion was that I
Was ii, and 1t was /;
1t tucked me in the mattress, and
said, Sing lullaby
This worried me extremely. so
| thought l would retreat,
When suddenly the quilt essayed
To kick me off its feet.
1t then arose and said some things
In accents full of gloom,
And then it called a bellboy and
Said: II don't like this room"
With gentle hand the belIboy took
The quilt, and softly said:
The poor old quilt is crazy, sir,
And 1t must go TO bed"
And as he went away. I asked
What caused its lunacy.
ALAS he answered. Sir. II was
StunG by quilting bee.
"Since then its pattern is so loud
1t cannot go TO sleep,
And so 1t always seeks excuse
To scold or swear or weep"
Now, when I see a crazy quilt,
II much appeals to me:
always try to comfort IL
with friendly sympathy.

families for the salvation that their
congregations so Justify sing is "free." ="
In their unrequited toll and denial
and anxiety they often pay for the
free" salvation of men who have
thousands for worldly ends and to
build monuments on which to record
their supposed Christian virtues, but
who niggardly dole out to the minis
ter the toll of the highway to heaven.
The great religious bodies which
exact such anXieties, and pay so
little for so much service, should
take measures to provide for the
time when pulpit and pastoral ac-
tivity is no longer possible. For,
though we may underfeed and over
work him as long as he has strength,
it is not respectable to turn an old
horse out on the public road to die.
We hope the MethOdists of the state
will rally to the golden jubilee cele-
bration of this honored couple. Let
those who cannot go in person to
pay their homage, see to it that the
Jingle of gold that shall pour INTO
their laps shall be sufficient to
make their last days their best days;
that they may approach the Valley
of the Shadow in comfort. When it
comes to the crossing they have the
assurance of comfort from the rod
and staff of Him whom they have
served faithfully through a long life.

The Breakers, the large Flagler
hotel on the beach at Palm Beach,
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday.
The casino and the row of stores ad-
Joining the Breakers were also de-
stroyed. The fire originated in the
upper story of the Breakers while the
men employed in the annual renova-
tion of the hotel were at dinner,
The Royal Poinciana which is sever
al hundred yards west was not
damaged. The Breakers ranked as
one of the leading hotels of the east
coast and had a capacity Of 800. The
Royal Poinciana accommodates 1900
and is the largest hotel in the world.
The Breakers cost $500,0O0 and its
furniture $20O.O0O more. The loss on
other buildings will be about $4,000.
The Breakers was insured for $780,
600 but there was no insurance on
the furniture.

sSSSSSSSSSSSSGSGSSGSSSSSS
\ SOME TIMELY
FLORIDA TOPICS.

The Jacksonville Metropolis proba-
bly, says more to stir up the politi-
clans and set The boys guessing than
any half-dOzen papers in Florida.
Only the other day it contained an
editorial in which were named some
~ightOr ten candidates for congress
from the second district. Some of
he men named were self-confessed
candidates. Others were known to
he modest men who have to be pull
ed into the Office seeking arena, but
notably one of this sort whose ser
vice in positions of public trust has
been such as to stamp him as a pains
taking, honest and intelligent ser
want of the people. We refer to
Putnam's honOred nator ana FlOri-
da's- former state treasurer, DR.. f.. S.
Grill of this city. The doctor is not
at home today else we would app
proach him with view to finding
out, if possible, whether or not the
bee of congressional longing has
really become entangled~in the upper
story of his senatorial chapeau. 1t
might seem Il foolish question, too,
for those who know the doctor best
know that he could accept seat in
congress only at great petsonal sacri-
flee of business and the pleasures of
one whose greatest comfort is found
in the quiet of delightful home.
But wouldn't ne make crack-a- Jack
congressman? What he doesn't
know about statecraft could not be
supplied by any other man in FlOri-
da. He is a man of broad culture,
sound practical sense, personal mag
netism, large business experience,
comprehensive views of political
economy, perfect health, and who
knows and appreciates the needs of
his state as do few other men. He
was built for a broad gauge track
and has never jumped it. AS a
member of the state senate he has
always stood for progress along safe
lines. There isn't Il faint of bun
combe IN his blood nor IA cog wheel
in his head. He is politically and
personally clean, a democrat i'll
whom there is no guile and II patri-
Otic American from the sole of his
boots to the ends of his ecru locks.
In the lately expired senate he was
chairman of the important commit
Itt Oll Il luullCt anu lNtlIIpIl, ttliNl ctit
with the best legal talent Of the state
on the Judiciary committee simply
that practically might prevail in
the event that legal technicalities
got to floundering. He was the one
man to whom senators looked for adj
vice in every emergency. The one
man who was always calm and
who kept his head under every
trying circumstance. If DR.. E. S.
Grill could be induced to enter
the race for congress the people of
the second district would have can
didate upon whom they could all
unite in the full assurance that he
would be neither the tool of corpora
tions nor the blatant mouthpiecG of
dUmagogues, but u safe, cOnscieu-
tious representative of all the people
one whose voice and vote would
always register in the interests of
equal and exact Justice. OF course
the Metropolis editorial was only in
pursuance of Il smoking out'' poll
cy, but-wEy not Dr.. Grill for con-
greSS, ANYWAY.

The destruction by fire on Tuesday
of the Breakers at Palm Beach will
be regretted by the entire state of
Florida as well as thousands upon
thousands of tourists in all parts of
the world who have enjoyed the ele-
giant hospitality dispensed at this
famous hotel. The money loss runs
into the hundreds of thousands.
The hote will probably be rebuilt, as
it formed i'm important link in the
chain of east coast hotels which has
made the Atlantic coast of Florida
famous in all quarters of the globe.
1t is not likely that it can be re-
placed in time for next seasons busi-

Flagler has u habit of moving swiftly
