Smile and the world smiles with you.
KNOCK. and you go alone;
For the cheerful grin will let you in
Where the kicker is never known;
Growl and the way looks dreary,
Laugh. and the way is bright;
For welcome smile brings sunshine,
while
A frown shuts out the light
Sigh, and you attain nothing.
Work, and the prize is won;
For the nervy man with backbone can
BY nothing be outdone;
Hustle. and fortune awaits you,
Shirk, and defeat is sure:
For there's no chance of deliverance
To the chap who can't endure
Sing, and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble and things go wrong;
And all the time you are out of rhyme
With the busy. busting t5hrong;
Kick. and there's trouble brewing,
Whistle, and life is gay:
And the worlds in tune like day ir
And the clouds all melt away.

No More Card-Piaying to Aid Congre-

ST. Louis, Oct. s0-Archbishop John
j. Glennon has expressed considerable
displeasure at the unusual number of
euchre parties and festivals given IN
der the auspices of the Catholic churches
in his diocese for the purpose of raising
church revenue.
The archbishop has let it quietly be-
come known that Catholics are expected
to support their churches without re-
sorting to ends for obtaining money
which have the disapprobation of the
lawmakers of the church. The pastors
of several churches have already an
naunced to their congregation that the
festivals and euchres must go.

 British West Florida was organised in
 I7ss as a result of the treaty of Paris
 of that year and was ceded to England
 by Spain. As first organized 1t was the
 territory between the 31 degree of lati.
 on the south. the Chattahoochee River on
 the east and the Mississippi River on the
 west. Tn l767 In order to include some
 settlements about Natchez. the territory was extended north to B degrees. w
 the territory embraced that part of the State of Alabama south of an east and
 west line drawn across the State just a little south of the present towns of We- tumpka and Demopolis, and extending to the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida line.
 Two very important results that grew out of the organization of British West Florida as explained by Mir. Hamilton, were the beginning of the extinction of Indian titles to the l9nds of America and the planting of English or Anglo Saxon institutions and customs on what later became the soil of Alabama. facts, the iy regarded by us.

The Florida coincided with that of the Rev olutionary War, 1763. to about 17sO, and many of the Tories from the thirteen colonies settled about Mobile and Pen- sacola as did some of the Acadians.
 Mr. Hamilton spoke of number of able men who labored for the success of this colony and of whom the people of Alabama ought toh cherish A grateful memory. Among those mentioned were Major Robert Farmer, Captain George Johnstone, Captain John Stewart. Hon. Peter Chester and William Batram.
