NOTES AND NOTIONS.
A PhiIistine Love Song.
Rv JOsh Wink

A PhiIistine Love Song.
BY Josh Wink.
Love me little, love me long"
is the burden of my song.
No fierce passion do I crave
That will weep and storm and rave;
No wild torrent that would roll
Resistless Ger my very soul;
No white heat Of flaming love,
Burning up its zeal 10 prove,
Burning out with its own heat,
Leaving ashes at my feet:
No wild tempest of the heart.
Shaking all of life apart;
Passing in an hours span,
Leaving all the wreck it can;
No up-soaring to the heights,
In the glare Of loves white lights;
No loves a1l-suficiency,
Naught else worth toyou and me;
Love too keen and strong to last,
Quickly ardent. quickly past
Not that love for which long
Love me little, love me long"
/ want comfort with my love;
Naught else soar my hopes above.
Give me love that's placid quite,
Not too strong ana not too bright;
Love that tries to be winner
with daily frst-rate dinner;
That will smooth the rougt away
In the friction of the day;
Just an easy, pleasant home,
With leave no wand then to roam:
No emotions wearing out
F1eart and mind and temper stout;
Not hot fires roaring blaze, +
But .ufld affections rays
That will last, and be no bar
IN life's ever present war.
Give me love that is content
With temporary Punishment
When other interests Clai mfirst plac
When other interests clam first plac
When called, and feels its lack {
pain;
A love that is no nervous strain
And takes gifts to Its lot befalI,
Without demanding naught or all;
So that is why tune this song
Glove me little, love me long"

Two Women and Man in Peril at
Spring Lake.

SPRING LAKE, N. Y. Aug. Z. -
Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Williamson and
Mrs. S. G. Neal, OF Philadelphia, were
saved from drowning here today by
the prompt work OF a number of bath
ers. They were out beyond the life
ropes, as the tide was low, and were
having a merry time when they found
that they had been carried beyond
their depth. The women of the par
ty screamed for help, and several Of
the men bathers who we're near went
to their rescue. Col. Russell was the
first one to reach the nearly exhausted
trio, and Mrs. Williamson grabbed him
around the neck.
Frank Green, of Trenton, and Aug
Justine Humes, of East Orange, had by
this time reached Mr.. Williamson, who
had gone down twice, and they sue
ceeded in buoying him up until Life
Guard John Rowland arrived in the
life boat, into which the exhausted
pair were placed.
Mrs. Neal, who was few feet be.

head above water. She swan ashore

MAKE CALLS AT NIGHT.
Peculiar Custom of the Arab Ladies
OF Zanzibar.

The Arab ladies Of Zanzibar live in
great seclusion in the large white
houses, never going out in the daytime
from one years end to another, says
the Manchester Guardian. A little
cooking and sweetmeat making is their
only recognized employment, though
some few OF them can do beautiful
silk embroidery. To lie on their beds
and be famed by their slave girls is
the usual occupation of the richer
women.
If they want to visit their friends, OF,
as is more often the case, to perambu-
late the town, they wait until 8 o'clock
in the evening, when q gun Is fred
warning all Mohammedans that it Is
the fifth and last hour Of prayer; then
they may go out. They are entirely
enveloped in large mantles and their
faces completely hidden by very ugly
gilt masks, with oblong Sits for the
eyes, and many of them wear these
even in the privacy of their own homes.
Their other garments are trousers and
a tunic reaching below the knee, which
is often embroidered and trimmed with
gold braid. They have a number Of
gold and silver ornaments, nose rings
and earrings, bracelets, anklets. and
so on.
They are very light in color, many OF
them cream colored. Their features are
regular and good. and they have dark
eyes and silky black hair. They paint
under their eyes and stain their hands
and nails a reddish color with SIENNA.
If they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained
brick red, their slaves running by their
sides, but you generally meet them
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who carry enormous Ian
terms as big as London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till In the morning, when another
gun is fred proclaiming the first hour
Of prayer. 1t is very awkward at times
when you meet In the streets some of
these ladies whom you ought to know

Women who have for years been

pocket will hear with delight the news
that it is to be restored this autumn
by the arbiters of the mode, says a
special cable dispatch from London to
the Boston Herald. The opportunity
to reinstate the pocket In its old place

skirt at the back Is afforded by the re-
turn to second empire modes. BY this

dollars worth of business into our
city every year and in this way be
a very remunerative investment. IL
the people in the nearby country
knew that for very small sum OF

hates to write letter. 1t would be

Frank Harris on the
Needs of the South.

Editor Frank Harris, of the Ocala
Banner, has Just returned from a
=, visit to New York, and, judging from
some OF his recent editorial reflec-
tons, has brought back with him
some ideas that he is disposed to
utilize for the benefit of the state for
which he has already done so much.
As sample of these ideas, the fol-
lowing may be cited:
II We were impressed with one fact
more than another on our recent visit
TO New York it is that the pressing
need Of the south is people. If one
stands on the sidewalk in that city
he witnesses passing throng during
all hours of the day. Go where he
will he meets people. The street cars,
the subways and the elevated rail-
ways are always crowded and so are
the hotels and department stores. It
is a jam everywhere. The hotel at
which we stopped is not a very pre-
tentious one and yet its register was
always full and so it was with all the
hotels at which we called. When we
Got to Charleston and visited the
Charleston hotel, the leading hotel of
the city, We found that its register
contained less than a page of arrivals.
Yet 1t Is large and splendidly equip
ped establishment. The belt line
street railway, a splendid enterprise,
instead of being packed as were the
cars in New York city, were carrying
very few passengers and so the scar
city of the people was marked on
every hand.
Nothing could be truer-nothing
more to the point than this. New
blood-new people-are what Florida
most of all needs to-day.
Men and money are essential to
the push, progress and prosperity of
any community; but of the two,

For it is a fact that should never

What made Atlanta? Nothing but
the indomitable spirit of its people.
What enabled Jacksonville to arise
from the ashes, and, in a few short
years. rehabitate herself upon a scale
and in a manner that throws into the
shade her former stability?
If the people OF Jacksonville had
not proven themselves equal to the
occasion, the city could never have
so rapidly and completely recovered
from the staggering blow dealt it a
few years ago.
And why is it that the people OF
Jacksonville have found it possible to

OCCASION FOR THANKS.
mobile Register.)

With all of the many disasters and
dangers through which the people OF
the South have passed during the
present year; the storms, floods, race
troubles, actual and threatened, we
can now raise our voices in thankful
ness, and our hearts in praise that
this country has escaped visitation
of the irrational terror which follows
even the remote threatening OF a yef'
low fever epidemic; and that too
without any great sacrifice of CONNER
cial interests to unreasonable and
| burdensome quarantine restrictions.
That the danger season has passed,
that the quarantine authorities have
done their duty, that science has pre-
vailed over ignorance is matter for
congratulation and thanksgiving.
There has been no time within the
year when the people of Mobile felt a
doubt as to the ability and determine
ton of the local quarantine authori-
| ties to safeguard this port against
any source possible of infection in the
countries to the south Of us, and IL
is pleasure to record that the quar-
antine officials in the other Southern
ports have shown an equal skill and
zeal in the work which was before
them.
From the possibility OF recrudes-
cense and also from past experience
New Orleans has been regarded dur
ing the summer as the point of greatest
danger in this country, and the mis-
trust engendered by the fact that a
man who had lost to great measure
the confidence of the masses, was re-
tanned as city health officer of New
| Orleans, has caused the people OF
Texas. Mississippi and Alabama no
| little uneasiness.
On the other hand the new state
health officer of Louisiana, DR.. G. K.
Irion, early acquired a great deal of
the confidence even of those who did
not know much of his record or his
qualifications for such a position.
1t was known that DR.. IRONS ap-
! pointment came direct from Governor
Blanchard and was not dictated by
| the commercial interests of New Or
| leans.
When a case of yellow fever &C.
Cured near New Orleans Dr. Irion
both kept faith with the health boards
of the other states and took such
scientific, prompt and effective meas
ures as prevented further spread
of the disease.
He and his coadjutors did the same
thing when a case of fever occurred
near an old focus at New iberia.
The effect of this was TO establish
confidence in his ability to cope with
the situation regardless of any false
ideas of what constitutes commercial
| interests which might prevail in the
| city of New Orleans.
The law passed by the last congress
strengthening the power of the Uni
ted States public health and marine

branch of the government with the
needed sinews of war, also had its
effect. both in lessening the actual

FIoridians Should Cooperate.

Why cant Floridians organize and
procure foreign white labor as well
as Georgians? The Georgia papers say
that extensive plans have been be-
gun for securing efficient immigrant
labor for the manufacturing concerns
and planters of that state. who are
seriously affected by the scarcity #
employees.
The initial movement has been be-
gun by the Savannah Board of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce of
that city, who, under the direction of
a state immigration commissioner,
have sent an immigrant agent to Scot
land and other countries of Europe
to find the necessary class of en-
ployes.
Other agents will be sent out in the
near future, and Germans. Scandana-
vians and Norwegians will be brought
to Georgia as rapidly as possible.
They will come directly to Charles
ton and Savannah from the different
countries and will not pass through
New York, as has been previously the
custom.
There is a great demand among
the sawmill men and planters of
Georgia and Florida for labor of this
class, and the former have appointed
a committee to confer with the i'm,
migration promoters. -.
Start a similar movement in Flor
Ida, Or cooperate with The Georgians,
and stop this eternal cry about lack
of labor to do anythoing In lines OF
industry .-Jacksonville Metropolis.

POWER OF CHEERFUlNESS,
The Way One Druggist Lighters tint

Ills of His Customers.
A pale. weak girl entered a down
town drug store the other day. She
seemed about to collapse. The propri-
etor assisted her into a chair and pre-
pared a mild stimulant for her. The
druggists manner was so sympathetic
that little later she conhded to him
that she suffered with her heart and
feared she had not much longer to live.
Heart diseaseY' inquired the drug
gist genially. why, 1 have heart dis
ease myself; have had it for years.
That's nothing. I don't worry myself
about it. l don't look like a man with
a load on his mind, doaI? You prob
ably think that you are liable to drop
off any time. On the contrary, any
doctor will tell you that the average
person with heart disease generally
lives to good old age. The very care
that sufferer from heart disease takes
of himself or herself is calculated to
lengthen the years indefinitely. You
see, man with a weak heart naturally
is careful of himself a bit. He doesn't
commit any excuses, never overdoes
anything, lives in moderation and thus
keeps his vitality unimpaired. That's
all you have to do-just take care Of
yourself. What's the use Of worry
ingw
The druggists cheerfulness was in
fictitious, the genial interest Of his talk
made depression appear foolish, and
the girl soon began to look more hope
full and even smiled. After the drug
gist had gayly chatted with her awhile
she rose and walked out of the store
with q firm step.
This druggist. though he would scorn
the idea il suggested to him. is q bene-
factor to humanity, He is believer
In the power of cheerfulness, and the
good that he does in his peculiar way
is not easy to estimate.
Not day passes that he does not
impart his message Of the cheerful life
to some despairing individual. He
makes all others ailments his own and
points out the uselessness Of worry. A
man will come inrbent and suffering.
Perhaps he confdes to the druggist
that he has kidney disease and fears
his days are numbered. The druggist
Immediately informs him that there is
no cause for alarm; he has had kidney
trouble himself for. oh, so many years,
and has no intention of dropping off.
That druggist, in the course Of n week,
probably will acknowledge that he is
afflicted with every ailrnent except
housemaid's knee. He makes every
complainer feel better. He fairly radi-
ates good cheer and optimism. 1t is
his belief that half the sufferers in the
world have complaints that bright
spirits will overcome. But even when
they have real disease it is his theory
that little cheerfulness doesn't hurt
and that the malady is only aggra-
waited by constant depression. He
makes it his mission in life to drive
away depression and turn the thoughts
of people toward brighter things. His
cheerfulness is q tonic that never fails
to act.-New York Press.
