THE LATEST
WRINKLES IN
BIRTHDAY GIFTS

Many a girl is busy nowadays deco
rating her room, her personal belong
ings and herself with flowers, gems
and cofors which have reference to
her birth month, and in making pres
ents to her friends she gives them also
the same significance.
For the last few years there has
been an increasing attempt to make
gifts which recognize in some way the
recipients pet fads. AS this is an ath-
letic age, all sorts and kinds of things
have been made having reference to
golf, tennis bicycling, riding and driv-
ing. Now the fad is to utilize the SYM
bols of the birth month.
For herself the girl uses chiefly the
flowers for the month in which she
was born. These she cultivates, If she
has a garden, and wears. She deco
rates her room with them in draper
les, bed covers, upholstery for reed
or willow furniture and hangingS for
her windows. There are so many
pretty things in floral designs that
every purse finds something desirable
within reach. The girl even embroid-
ers her handkerchiefs and lingerie
with her flower. though it must be
said that she does not put much work
into the latter unless it is for trous-
seau. In this outdoor age she cares
more for sports than for needlework,
and she can buy her underwear Tor
less than she can make it.
Here are the three chief emblems
for the several months-gems, flowers
and astral colors:
January-White onyx, snowdrop,
brown, silver-gray and black.
February Amethyst primrose,
pink. blue and Nile green.
Neutrality-suspicious., violets, white,
pink, emerald and black.
April-Diamond, daisy, white and
rose.
May-Emerald, hawthorn, red and
lemon yellow.
June-Pearl, honeysuckle, red, blue
and white.
July-Ruby, water lily, green and
russell brown.
August oonstone, poppy, red
and green.
September Sapphire, morning
glory, gold and black with blue dots.
October-Opal. hops, black, Grim
son and light blue.
November-Topaz. chrysanthemum'
golden brown and black.
Observation-Disclosures holly, gold
and brown.
There are gorgeous things in the way
of birthday pillows ready made or
ready stamped at a low price to make
up in birthday designs. These have
not only the appropriate colors, flow
ers and jewels, but the signs OF ene
zodiac for the month. The birth
month colors or flowers are also put
into picture frames. handkerchiefs and
tie or veil cases. cushions and bureau
covers The imitation jewels can be
bought to sew on. Birthday spoons
with the appropriate flowers can De
found, some with the gems set in. ana
rings with both flowers and gems.
For the children there are pencils ana
pen holders set with imitation birth
stones.

CHAPTER Y.

It was almost shutdown when a
message came clicking over the wires
that the Hogenlanden had been
sighted passing Fire Island. 1t would
be quite 10 O'Clock before she reached
Quarantine. This meant that she
would not be boarded until morning
by the Quarantine doctors, and until
then the United States Marshal
could do nothing He had taken a
room at the Dago's, for Maria Sol
ferino's father was glad to take in a
ledger occas ionally, though bar and
restaurant were the chief features of
his business. Under the artful wi1es
of the girl he drank more than usual
and when he went up to bed he was
without the aid of Knockout drops.
Call me at four" he said. And Maria,
laughing in his face, and pulling his
mustache roughly, promised to do so.

vations she endured. Even Lars Lar
sen, her lover did not know all, else
he would have snatched her away and
fought the beginning of the battle of
the immigrant with her by his side.
But now he had been in this country
five years. A year ago he sent her $50
and babe her come to him. Six months
later, receiving no reply he sent an
other note for the same amount, and
a month ago he had again sent money
to Christina. And for the third time
no reply. Her letters to him-they were
few and far apart a best-had ceased
from the arrival of the first remittance.
He could not understand it, He was
slow of mind. Suspicion against Hans
Andersen had not yet entered it.

ey after bad, but if what you think is
true" and Lars Larsen smiled with
grim and bitter humor, "she will be
needing money for a cradle and some
baby clothes by this time"
Ned Backstay seized the horny hand
of his comrade and shook it heartily,
swearing big oaths, and declaring that

This was a happy thought. Lars
wondered that it had not come to him
before. The two men put their heads

Busy Port lngliS.

Mr.. r. y. Alfred, OF Port Inglls,
was visitor 10 Ocala Saturday and
spoke very enthusiastically of the
growing Importance of this new pOIt.
He informed Us that more phos
phate was shipped from there last
month than from any other port in
Florida.
-Four ships are booked for loading
next month and MIR. Alfred says that
they are coming and going with
great regularity.
\ writer in the Lakeland sun Who
has Just visited that section says of it:
"IngIis il situated about eighteen
miles southeast of DunneIlon GA the
WIthlacoochee river, aud fifteen
miles from the gulf by the river ana
seven through the country. The
river il one of the most crooked in
the state. The ride on the boat 70 the
mouth of the river is both wild and
weird. Game is plentiful, such ps
deer, turkey and quail, also fish aud
oysters in season, and mosquitoes of
all varieties, ages, seX-s and colOrs.
lone would he surprised at the
amount of business in phosphate
done at this place. Inglis is owned
by the Dunnellon Phosphate Co. The
phosphate is hauled here by railroad,
built by the company, loaded onto to
barges which are also constructed by
the company, they having a shIpyard
at this place, then are flOated down the
| mouth of the river. and from there
| towed out to the gulf and loaded on
ships. Most of this phosphate goes
! to foreign countries. A large num-
Der of men are given employment,
and thousands of dollars are paid out
in wages every two weeks. Millions
of dollars have been spent already by
the company in improving and deep
ening the river and making hOrbOr.'

WHEN WILL YoU BEGIN.l

The most important question for
many is to decide when they will be-
gin 80 raise cattle. To get the best re-
suits from this branch of farming will
require some banning.
Before you get the cattle You need
TO arrange for plenty of pasture aud
forage for them. Decide this question
first. Then set to permanent grass
sufficient room for pasture. Arrange
for growing various forage crops for
green feed most of the year.
Fortunately this il All easy task in
the South.
We have the hest pasture grass in
the world-Bermuda We have many
other grasses 10 help this johnson,
Orchard, Red Top, Arctic, Rescue, etc.
Then We have the Clovers for pasture,
hay aud forage all three. In the line
of forage com-s corn, sorghum, peas,
pindsrs, rape, heggsr weed, cassava,
potatoes, turnips, etc. A long and
varied list.
The question il not can we do IL,
but will We doit?
Amid the varied and houndless re-
sources of the South no one thing
promises as much To her permanent
prosperity a. the raising of cattle or
we NIGH. say stock of ali kinds. With
the present snd prospective active
markets aud high prices for every
thing in this line the inducements are
very great.
Poultry eggs, butter, cheese, milk
beef, leather. pork lard, mutton, wool,
horses, mules, COWS and pigs, all de-
mand high figures and find ready
sale.
Now then A. you are looking ahead
to future crops arrange for live stock
10 come in.
Get the best breeds for the purpose
you wish, give attention to health aud
food and you wilt get ready money
and clear profit from this branch of

they will grow on any old poor worn

They are as good a COW feed as

far superior to cow peas for feed or for
fertilizer. When they get ripe they
do not shell out on the ground, and

mer has time. The vines are easily

britly when the beans get ripe. The
planters here plant them in their
melons when they are laying them

What He Says Will Happen if Call
Enters the Race.

Hon. James E. Alexander is one OF
the most confident men in the world.
He says he is absolutely certain of
being nominated for congress-. Mr..
Alexander also says if ex-senator
Call enters the senatorial race there
will be second primary, and that
the second race will be between Mr..
Call and Senator TaliaferrO. 1t was
announced some time ago that Mr..
Call had acknowledged that he was
wrong in charging Hon. John y. G..
Stockton with his defeat for senator
in 1897, and that be would support
Mr.. Stockton for senator in the pri-
maries next year. Recent develop
ments, however, indicate that Mr..
Call is still "sUre" on Mr.. Stockton.
Should the ex-senator enter the race
he has many friends throughout the
state who will give him loyal support
in his endeavUr to return to the Uni.
ted States senate Gainesville Sun.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

To the Editor Of the Ocala Banner
As "a locker on in that Verona"
will you kindly accord me few lines
in your valuable paper. such treat,
both intellectual and musiral, to say
nothing of the toothsome viands, as
was offered Ocala Thursday night by
the rector and ladies of Grace church,
is seldom enjoyed outside of a large
city.
The hall not large. the rOstrum,
low, the instrument no doubt Jared
10y moving, were all TO he considered.
These were acceptably surmounted.
The music presented convinced us
We had artists before Us and "by the
sweet power of music" surely Ocals's
music lovers will realize how delight
ful it would be for them to prove
their kInship.
Mr.. Williams rendering of "VIr
ginius" was highly appreciated. Those
who have seen Booth or Mccullough
in the play, might well decide that Mr..
Williams had profitted 10y some
hints thus obtained.
What can I say of the lecturer?
written with a capital l. His at
home-ness of his subject, his hGmor,
his love for the beautiful, speaking,
love a. zone who loves his fellow
men," was simply fine; l know,
though, he will pardon the hooker

seems much more gifted with his pen
than with his pencil.
To sum this all up, as politicians
are fond of saying, "tO cap the
climax" why can't Nj. Little toe
invited 10 give u a lecture during the
winter, adding his name TO the Lee
ture Course 10 which We are looking
forward with - much interest. With
Mr. Little, the scholar, tie traveller,

ADDENDA.
This H. a common school education
is fairly complete with correction
or Two and an addition or so as:
a.. Tell something more of the

own physical and mental machine as
thoroughly as possible.
I'D. There are hundreds Of truth
ful and wise books in the world. Read
those more and the bible less

qusiufance with the three great king
dOms of nature than those mentioned
here.

portance {" the every day business
man or woman, but correct phllos.
orhy Of life is unquestionahly the
great st knowledge man or woman
can acquire. To have knowledge
sufficiently great TO be able to give a
good description of the words, justice,
fairness, equality, liberty, freedom,
then to seek TO live up to and endeav-
or to get others to live up to these
principles is the greatest triumph of
common school education, and is in
itself complete education, and is a
result which is but seldom attained
by means Of higher schools. 1t will
I. lead to logical thinking and reason
ing; it will enable the possessor of such
an education to sip the kernal of
truth from the heap of chafl and lies;
it creates a desire To know what isV
and seek to learn "what wasr in or
der to draw some deductions as to
what can" and Twill be". 1t will
enable person to learn to read be-
tween the lines and if natural COM
mon sense il his or hers in addition
