Happenings az ms Popular Gaines-
vile Resort.
Miss Bertha Brown Of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, arrived this week for an ex-
tended soiourn.
The fishing party planned for yes
terday by Col Whittemore and his
able assistant. O. d. schafer, was post
poned on account rain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Deming Fitch OF Mad
ison, Wis, are expected in few days
to pay their annual visit to Gaines
Vile, and they think there is no place
like the Home.
A party from the Home gave Mr..
and Mrs. d. @. Warner a pound sur
prise party, Wednesday evening, at
their pleasant quarters on Main street,
North. They were joined by few
friends from the city. and games were
enjoyed to pass the evening. Each
guest furnished a pound. OF refresh
ments and being under the direction
of Mrs. Byars, the selection was ample
and varied, making delightful feast.
The popular thoroughfare to the
Home-Indiana street-looks like a
back alley, it being ornamented with
empty cans thrown around the roots Of
the trees. 1t seems a pity that some
people do not take enough pride in the
streets to try and keep them tidy,
especially when the city will have such
debris taken away II they will only
put it in barrel or box for that pur-
pose.

TIRED OF LIFE
He SUICIDED
William Wells Of North Gaines
Vile Has Passed Away.
USED \ COMMON pm KNIFE


And Severed His Jugular Vein, Bleed
ing TO Death in Few Moments, -
First Discovered by Little Daugh-
ter-A Sad Occurrence.
North Gainesville was the scene Of
an awful tragedy last night, when
William Wells probably dreaming OF
what an easy life the future would be
compared to the past, took his own life
by severing his jngular vein with a
pen.knife
The unfortunate victim was discoy-
cred by his little daughter Nellie,
about 8 O'Clock in the evening She
went to the door leading to the room
Of the deceased, and, finding it locked
knocked several times. Knowing her
father was in the room and receiving
no reponse, an entrance was gained
and she beheld a CHASTITY sight, Will
liam Wells lying on the bed in a pool
Of blood--dead
In the hand OF the unfortunate man
was found a small pen.knife. His ju-
gular vein was severed, and that told
the sad tale.
The coroner was notified, and after
viewing the remains it was decided
that an inquest was unnecessary, ii
having been a plain case.
Mr. Wells was we'll known in this
city, where he has resided for many
years. While his death will be re-
GREETED by his friends, it will be
received with little surprise, as he has
been respondent ever since the death
OF his beloved wife, a fine Christian
lady, few months ago.
Friends OF the family offer deep SYM
patty in this hour of sorrow and be.

Not Such a Bad World,

The world is better than it was
better and wiser. There is more
charity, more rational religion, more
money spent for moral, educational,
charitable and humanity helpful pur-
poses than ever before. The people
as whole, high and low, live better,
have more comforts and convent
ences and luxuries-are better housed,
better clothed, better fed, better edu-
Gated than their ancestors were.
While this is an era of great develop
ment of wealth, the accumulation Of
great fortunes, the explorations of
many schemes of graft and greed, the
people are not mere money worship
ers. Dishonest men and worshipers
of the golden calf have always exist
ed. They are more quickly and ruth
lessly exposed and condemned than
ever before. The world is not grow
ing worse. 1t is growing better.

School Gardens in Europe.

To-day the school garden has its
greatest development in Sweden,
where scarcely any public school
building is found without garden.
In Belgium, where a large part of
the population depends upon truck
gardening, the greatest interest is
manifested in the establishment Of
school gardens by agricultural and in
Gustrial communities and by the gov
ernment. The prosperity of the rural
population in Belgium, which is de-
rived chiefly from the extended cult
Walton of truck gardens, must be at
tributed primarily to the school gar
dens and the extensive knowledge of
horticulture among the people.

He was enjoying a quiet vacation

friend James Russell Lowell had often
spoken of the beauty of that region,
as he spent several summers there.
What" said the guide, you know

BURNS REAL CLAIM TO FAME

Il turned to young man and said:
WHO is that?'
Burns he answered without hest

"'And what I asked, did Burns do
to entitle him to bust?'
why, he-he-oh, he died said
the young man, yawning.
"But his companion was a Scot. This
Scot, as he filled his whisky glass,
sneered and said:
Burns death alone wouldn't have
sufficed for his commemoratiCn in
bronze and marble. Burns was poet,
gentlemen. Furthermore, he was
good fellow. Let me tell you some
thing that should endear him to such
minds as yours.
"'Once. iii Dumfries, Burns had the
job Of sauger. He went about from
public house to public house, seeing
that good, pure grade of whisky was
served. And he was supposed, too, to
keep his eye open for unlicensed
houses--to see that no speak easies, as
we called them, fourished in Dunn

And did he do it? Did he, indeed?
There's a fond Dumfries tradition that,

leon saw the situation with the uner-
ring eye of a statesman and military
chief He made his plans to cross to
England and ne might have crossed
had he had the patience to wait. At
least had he given his admiral more
leeway the battle might have been
fought under more favorable auspices
for the French. But Bonaparte was
fretful and obstinate and the French
fought losing fight rather than cross
him further. The result was that Ma
poleon turned from Boulogne back to
Paris and never again harbored de-
signs against England. England had
a great scare and from that time dated
the theory Of the empire that her naval
strength must equal that of the next
two powers combined.
Great Britain owed much to the dash,
the efficiency and the bravery of Nell

with the sailors. His motto was Have
