She Was.

A Boston woman, after selecting
some embroidery in one Of the big de.
partment stores, discovered that she
had not money enough with her to
pay for it. She had never opened an
account in this particular shop, and
it was therefore agreed that the clerk
should put the goods aside until the
next day, when the purchaser should
come for it VITA cash in hand.
When the woman returned the day
following to get her embroidery she
could not remember which Of the
saleswomen had waited upon her.
After puzzling over the matter for a
moment, however. she approached one
who looked vaguely familiar and ask
ed, Am the woman who bought
some embroidery here yesterday"
"Yes'm," replied the girl. stolidly,
and turned to get it.-Youth's Com

Peace of the Heart.

If quiet and peace could only be had
by withdrawing from the duties and
occupations Of active life, then quiet
and peace for most Of us could never
be. It is not in our power to fly to
some far and still retreat, in whose
quiet We may escape the evils and
troubles here. And the corner will
never be found in this world where
care and evil shall be unknown by
human beings. But tie peace which
the Savior gives His own is peace OF
heart and mind amid daily duties. 1t
is that central peace" which may sub
sist at the heart OF endless agitation.

IN FLORIDA
ADVANTAGES OFFERED IN THIS
STATE THAT CANNOT BE
FOUND ELSEWHERE.

Few people realize the number Of
people who are longingly turning their
eyes toward Florida as the spot where
they can make a home and live in
comfort the remaining days of their
existence on this earth.
There are thousands of them in va
rious sections who pass miserable
existence because of the severity of
the climate in which they live, who
are looking for just such location as
is to be had in various portions OF
Florida, says the Gainesville Sun.
And there are men of moderate means,
who IL they were aware of the oppor-
tunities offered in this land of peace
and plenty, would not be slow in COM
ing here, where good lands may be
had at a small price, anu a farmer
does not have to work like slave
FIVE or six months in the year to get
enough to keep him warm the balance
OF the year
The eyes that are on Florida are
looking for something to tell them of
the resources of the country. 1t is
" ell known that Florida has thousands
of acres of productive land for sale al
from 81 to SIS and up, per acre. The
men who have these lands should adj
yertise them. You ask how? Get ont
an edition OF paper with descrip-
ton of your lands in it, and after you
have sent them over the country, have
a few left so that q man can get one
sent to him when he is looking for 4
location.
Some people who know nothing
about the country are afraid to come
here lest they be bitten by snake,
as they have the idea that we are in
tested with reptiles of all KINDS.
Write the true facts about Florida and
Ter the people of the country know
about them, and you will not need any
foreign immigration.
Many are the advantages offered In
Florida over the northern states for
the man of moderate means with good
health and the necessary push. Cheap
lands. good soil and convenient mar
kets. The varied products of the soil
do not confine the farmer to one par
t;cular thing. What soil will produce
can be grown in Florida.

An Odd Industry.

One of the strangest of modern indus

furnish the raw material for the manu-
featuring process is the Angora rabbit.
which has received the name Of the silk

sheds its fur. and several days before
