The Preston Reception.

The sat home" given by Mr.. and
Mrs. G. H. Preston at their pleasant
home on Thursday evening of last
week was probably the most brilliant
private reception given in Crescent
City in recent years.
Invitations to the number of 1902
were issued, many of them to out of
town people. That IA of these invi-
tations were accepted evidenced the
interest taken by local society peo-
pie. The reception hours were from
$3.50 to l0:30, and very promptly at
the first named hour the guests as
sembled. Mr.. and Mrs. Preston re-
ceived in the reception hall, and this
room, together with the parlors,
were beautifully decorated with
palms, bamboo, roses and vines of
confederate jasmine. The main par
lor was banked with red roses
Chinese lanterns Illuminated the
porches and walk to the gate.
During the hours of the reception
Profs. Kahn and Volini of Jackson
vile discoursed sweet music from
piano and violin. Prof. Kahn is the
celebrated pianist of Jacksonville,
and Prof. Volini is the celebrated
violinist and leader of the orchestra
in Burbridge's opera house.
Punch was served in the parlor by
Miss Jane Morse, and Mrs. r. B..
Carter served the coffee. The re-
freshments were served by Mrs. s..
M. LaBree and the Misses Morse
The refreshment table was decorated
with pink roses.
1t was II o'clock before all the
guests were served, and at that hour
the entire assemblage repaired to
the V. l. A. hall, where to the strains
of beautiful music, rendered by the
above mentioned artists, dancing
was indulged in until 2:30 a. m.,
breaking up just in time to permit
the musicians to catch the early train
for home.
Ladies who attended the reception
and dance are freely lauding this
function as one of the most delight
full receptions and dancing parties
they have ever witnessed. The deco
ratiOns, the beautiful gowns of the
ladies, the music and elegance of the
refreshments, combining to make it
in every particular the most brilliant
and highly enjoyable society affair
of the winter.

BRAVE SOLDIER GONE.
The Late Col. II. w, Bard of
NOrWalk Saw Much
Service.

Colonel Robert w. Bard died at
his home in Norwalk early on the
morning Of the 18th inst. The fune-
raj took place on the l4th and was at
tended by sympathizing friends.
The coffin was draped in large
American flag, the emblem which he
loved so well and did long and gal
liant service under. The floral trib-
utes were magnificent.
Col. Bard was born on the Hudson
in New York, and had just passed
his 66th birthday. He graduated
with honors at the University of New
York The civil war coming on, he
entered the service and by promotion
from time to time reached the honor
able position of Lieut-Colonel of the
95th N. Y. nifty and was with it in
the many hard fought battles of the
Army of the Potomac, the peninsula
campaign, second Bull Run, South
Mountain, Antietam, Chancellors-
vile and Gettysburg, at which latter
place he led his regiment and
was instrumental in the capture
of a Mississippi brigade, Frede-
ricksburg, the Wilderness, where he
was conspicuous at the bloody angle,
Cold Harbor, and the Petersburg
siege. At the Weldon R. r. fight he
commanded the pickets, and kept
the Confederate attack at bay until
overpowered. Here he received
minnie ball in his leg and it remain
ed there until his death. After the
war closed, he went in the regular
service and was an officer for 20
years. Resigning and coming to
Florida, he settled at Norwalk, in this
county where he made fine orange
grove. l have had the pleasure of
reading q number of letters from his
war associates, among them Gen.
Hancock, Gen. Hoffman and others,
speaking of his great gallantry as an
officer and recommending promotion.
Col. Bard was well-known through
out Putnam county, and had many
warm friends; he has held several
offices of trust, and was most ex-
emplary citizen. He leaves wife,
four daughters and two sons, all
grown. l have had the pleasure of a
warm friendship with Colonel Bard
for the past 10 years and always
found him the same genial gentle
man and pleasant companion. Put
nam county cannot afford to loose
such men; he will be sadly missed by
all.
The sorrowing wife and family
have the deepest sympathy of many
friends who feel that their loss is
shared by all. A noble character, a
loving husband and kind father
has gone to his eternal reward.

THE PERlPATETIC BEAR.
Summer Outing of IA Mother Grizzly
and Her Young Ones.

Summer Outing of IA Mother Grizzly
and Her Young Ones.
There is a deal of discussion among
hunters after big game In the noun
tains concerning the sort Of fathers and
husbands grizzly bears make, says q
writer in Outing. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that bruin is an un-
faithful, heartless spouse and a con-
temptible father. He will help Nine.
Bruin seek cave or an opening In the
rocks or mountain side, where their
cubs may be born, and he will carry
a dainty morsel, such as sheep, a
calf or part of a cows carcass there
for his mates food. However, a few
days after the cubs are born in the
family circle he will leave the home,
probably never having any further ac-
quaintance with his spouse and her
offspring. Thereafter Nine. Bruin must
make her own way and provide for her
cubs. Unlike the black bear, which is
a jolly, fun loving father that rolls and
frolics with his baby children, the male
grizzly will have nothing to do with
the cubs. Nine. Grizzly and her chill
dren are companions for two summers,
and they hibernate rolled together in
ball of fur for about 100 days, dur,
ing the coldest days of winter.
The mother bear and her young trav-
el far and wide. moving principally at
night. Kit Carson said that the wide
range of family Of healthy grizzlies
in a summer season Is almost incalcu-
LIABLE He had reason to know of a
mother grizzly and her two cubs that
once left their alternating cave among
the southern spurs of the Rocky noun
tains In New Mexico one spring in the
forties, crossed the Colorado and Wy
oming, were seen in the mountains in
Montana and were back in New Mex
leo again for another winter before the
following October.

REFLECTIONS.

A wife often permits her affection to
blind her reason.
Regard for petty things often will
dwarf a mans ambition.
A woman's love can become annoy
ing as well as burdensome.
Marriage based on honest affection
will withstand the ravages Of time.
When a woman gives way to anger,
she begs her own pardon with tears.
Many women find happiness only
when attending to the affairs of others.
Confidence is not easily gained where
exaggerated love of self is found to
exist

Prof. MOrse's Lecture Before
the v, /, A,

Inc laue professor OF Gne UnlVefSl-
ty of Toxic came on the platform
and plunged into his subject, Japan
and the Japanese" In rapid con-
versatiOnal style with lightning
chalk sketches on the blackboard he
told his story; which went fastest,
his tongue or his deft left hand, / was
unable to determine.
The first thing that struck him on
his arrival was the young girls play.
ing with babies strapped on their
backs. They ran, they jumped, they.
turned and the babies slept on their
lively cradles, their heads bobbing
and threatening to come off, till an
extra jolt walked the youngster to a
howl. Then the, sister stopped and
gently iostled him to sleep again.
And here the professor initiated the
motion of quieting.
Then he told of the houses that
had no fixed walls or partitions.
Everything except floor and frame
and roof movable screens. He drew
a room and showed the mats eft X
on the floor, and told how all room 8
were measured by mats, an mat
room, n 20 mat room, a 40 mat room.
These mats were some inches thick
and easily injured by hard shoes.
Hence the Jap, pulled his shoe off,
or rather kicked it off at the door.
At theaters you got ticket for your
shoes and left them in inches to be
called for on going out. To wear
shoes in house with Japs is about like
wearing them in bed with us-rather
low down.
When they built their houses
everything in the supply line was so
economically adjusted that after
building a large house the chips and
waste could be carried away in
basket.
When they come to lie down to
sleep they have no beds, no springs,
no mattresses. They lie down any
where on the soft mats, on a wooden
pillow protected by n small cushion,
off which the novice European falls
10 times per night. So the Jap by
the aid of his numerous restau-
rants can take care of many guests
on short notice.
His table is few inches high; for
knife, fork and spoon he has chop
sticks. These he took from his
pocket and handled deity, thinking
them superior to our arrangements,
chairs, sofas, ottomans he has not,
but sits on his heels with his knees
on the floor. Here the professor
showed just how it was done, to the
imminent peril of his trousers. The
Jap, can sit thus for ten hours, the
European for 10 minutes.
The Jap rides in n Jinrikisha which
the European has adOped. Here the
left hand swiftly outlined the two
wheeled vehicle. 1t is pulled by
men, tireless men, who can easily
compete with and surpass the stage
coach. The Jap is II cleanly fellow,
takes a hot bath daily. Even the
Jinrikisha men do so. Ever village
has it's hot baths where you can take
II dip for a penny. The Jap is polite,
his greetings are prolonged. In the
school of the mobiles the boys are
dressed plainly lest the poor be
shamed, who cannot dress their
boys elegantly.
But we must stop. For an hour
the professor talked and drew, then
suddenly stopped. Verify it was a
treat and was generously given to
the V. |. A.-Com.
