A Horse and /. Cow.

When in my teens, milking seven
cows morning and evening and toiling
on the farm all day, I made favorites
OF q bay mare and a Durham cow
Molly and Bess. Talk about your
physical sympathy! Why, it was pa
thetic. Molly was my saddle horse, a
single footer Of rare excellence. l
could ride her with one finger ON the
reins into the most forbidding places.
Old Bess-oh, she used to kick a tooth
out once in awhile and put her foot In
the pail of milk, but the dear girl
would follow me about with the affec-
ton Of child! Well, was absent
from the old home five years and re-
turning found that of all the animals
only Molly and Bess remained. In
agine my distress when Molly refused
to notice me at all! While wondering
at this loss q friendship felt a warm,
rasplike thing going over my hand,
which was behind my back. Turning,
/ saw dear old Bess. Without notice
she had come to lick me. II ever ami
NAL spoke with eyes and manner she
did. Her happiness at seeing me again
after so long period was apparent to
all observers, and during my brief stay
at home it was all / could do to keep
her from following me into the house.

Overreached.

Old Joe, farmer, was noted for the
many ways he had of skimping Snd
saving. One day he hired big country
boy to help him with his work. The
boy reported for duty at $50 o'clock in
the morning, and Old Joe sat him down
to breakfast. After the lad had finished
the meal the sharp old farmer said,
what do you say If we eat dinner
while we are at IT.? AS the boy agreed,
they fell to and ate little more. Then,
seeing that the youngster could eat,no
more, Old Joe suggested, Suppose we
finish up and eat supper too" "AIl
right" assented the lad, and he man
aged to swallow another crust of bread.
"Now let's get to work." shouted the
gleeful farmer, thinking Of the saving
in meals be had made. NO." returned
the boy, II never work after supper.

History and Progress OF
State Reform School
Frank Mcdonald in Mariana Tintescourier.
. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The legislature of the latter sos
provided for the establishment of a
state reform school with the praise
worthy object of reforming and max
ing self-sustaining and self-respecting
citizens or incorrigible boys and girls.
1t gave the counties an opportunity
to bid for it's location in the shape of
donating site etc. Jackson proved
the most liberal and provided with
the most acceptable and satisfactory
guild pro quo in this regard and was
awarded the institution.
A more suitable site as regards
sanitation and hygiene and the inspir-
ing reformatory influence which us
ually attends close juytaposition with
delightful natural vistas and health
climatic conditions could not have
been chosen
1t is situated three miles south
west of the city on the Mariana and
st. Andrews bay road, the main build
ingS, which are respectively 125x50
feet in dimensions, lying on either
side of the turnpike and standing
each On an eminence which Is ap-
preached by a gently. rising slope.
The eastern building is occupied
by white and the western buildings
by negro inmates, both buildings be-
ing two and a half stories in the
center and two stories in the wing.
There are at present eleven white
boys and one white girl, and twenty
eight colored boys and three colored
girls at the institution. One hundred
and seventy-one inmates have been
received in the six and half years
of the institutions existence and one
hundred and twenty-eight discharged,
the latter figure, however, embracing
several escapes, who were recaptured.
When the school was established
the following representative citizens
of the state were made its officers
and directors President, WI H
Milton, Mariana; treasurer, M. l..
Dekle, of Marianna; and the presi-
dent and treasurer, with DR.. J. G.
l. Engle. of Jacksonville, Judge L. J.
Reeves of Pensacola and Hon. w L.
Palmer, of Orlando, comprise the
board of directors.
The directors selected Walter
Rawls, Jackson county boy born
and bred, as superintendent. Events
have shown it to have been a most
wise and judicial selection. Mr..
Rawls found nothing but the build
ings and bare walls when he took
charge. and but a meagre annual ap-
preparation of $4,000, the first four
years to furnish the buildings, feed
and clothe the inmates, add needed
improvements and appointments, pay
the salaries of guards, medical attend
ance and supplies, and a hundred

Ledger that there is already a "peo-

most wide-awake and capable one.
It consists of $50 members who sit

sent and are paid by the leading
newspapers of the country. These
Washington correspondents and their
respective newspapers stand between
the people and their representatives

chtcanery on the part of the latter.
The correspondents sources of ilfor-

Lack Of space prevents a detailed
description of how the seemingly i'm
possible was accomplished, but it will
suffice to say that Mr.. Rawls notwith-
standing several disastrous fires of in
cendiary origin, with the cooperation
of the resident trustees, has done all
this: Has cleared and put under cul
tivation 200 acres of forest land On
which is raised corn, cotton. peas,
oats, potatoes. sugarcane and garden
vegetables; he has fenced 100 acres
Of woodland pasturage where cattle
and hogs are kept in the early spring
when pasture is scant; he has built
a large brickyard in which he has
just burned a kiln of 10000 brick,
and has another kiln of 10000 ready
to set fire to this week, and has To-
600 brick under shed drying; he has
bored for and furnished artesian wa,
water and installed water works
the water being pumped to
tank built by the inmates by gasoline
engine power, which engine is also
used to grind corn, shell feed and
saw wood; he has built cane mill,
scrap house, carpenter shop,
blacksmith shop. cotton warehouse
and building, and he has planted $50
oak trees on the avenue leading from
the Mariana and St. Andrews bay
road to the eastern or white inmates
building. All this work has been done
by the inmates under Supt. Rawls
supervision and direction and a hun
dred other things of much utility &C
complished which cannot be here
enumerated.
The inmates are rosy-cheeked and
robust, and their health is and has
been excellent. There have been but
two deaths since the institution was
started, and of these one came to
the school with organic disease of
the heart, while the other was re-

3COtldSc SdSc.
A Washington dispatch to the Bos
ton Herald says:
Miss Emma Stirling, of Florida
who has aroused interest by her
statements that white slavery exists
In that state In the turpentine and
| phosphate camps, called upon the
president to-day and told him what
she knew. The president then sent
for Attorney General Moody, and the
matter waB discussed. It is believed
that the department. of justice will in.
vestigate the matter. Miss Stirling,
who has large property interests in
FLORIDA, charges the turpentine and
: phosphate people with Turing men
from tie north under promfse of large
wages and holding them as blaves. 1t
Is sale that In making revelations she
2 Is running considerable risk. as. &C,
cording to her story, murder and
arson are held lightly In the part of
Florida from which she comes.
As IL In answer to the above the
Charleston News and Courier says:
The state Of Florida furnishes
more stories of alleged peonage than
does any other southern state. and
Florida contains a larger proportion
OF northern immigrants than does any
other southern state. We do not be-
feve, however, that the natives of
Florida enslave the Yankees who set
tie I'm their midst
The Jacksonville Times Union, re-
publishing thesabove, comments there
on as follows:
The News and Courier is right in
fts disbelief. Florida has a large
northern population, and the northern
people who have settled IN the state
are contented. They come here be-
cause, for one reason or another they
thought this state more desirable for
residence than The one they left. The
fact that few who come to stay ever
give up their Florida homes in Is a
yfndication of their Judgment
As for Miss Strings story no in,
vestigation is needed to stamp It as
false. She processes to have been in
danger here. Where in Florida was
a woman ever killed or maltreated
FOR expressing her opinions?
Most OF the peonage charges In
Florida come from the turpentine
camps and we believe, when investi
gated, II any truth at all is found In
the reports II will be found that In
ninety-nine cases out Of one hundred,
