that could be accepted would be a

Mrs. Eddy must now commit what his
brethren call an error or 20 with
out pay for time lost.
There Is an activity about the Treas
ury Department. among a certain class
Of employees since the arrival OF
George Il, Cortelyou as the head OF
that department. that was not in evi-
dence during theprevious admnistra-
tion, Mr.. Cortclyou went to the
Treasury department preceded b. the
reputation OF entertaining the old
fashioned notion of expecting every
man to give a full days work 10 sthe
government In return for the salary
Uncle sam paid him. In the corridor
Of the second floor of the big building
in the end occupied by the Secretary
and his three assistants there are
enough colored messengers to form a
good sized meeting. For months 1t
been the habit Of these messengers
to gather during the day and relate
TO each other rhe good time they had
the night before and indulge in rem
inescences OF various sorts, There
never did appear TO be any good reason
for this numerous contingent OF mes
sengers unless 1t was TO make an as
sault on the bi-monthly payroll.
All this has changed. These mes
sengers no longer lounge about the
corridors. They have all unexpected
ly found there is something for them
10 do and they seem to be able to do
It. Mr.. Cortelyou also stopped the
habit OF officials having their shoes
snined by the messengers during office
hours When the Secretary wants
his shoes polished he goes outside or
has boot black from the streets do
it, and pays the usual charge. There
is one messenger who having been
barber In his day mas been in the habit
of shaving clerks and cutting hair.
This practice has also become thing
Of the past. There will be no more
barber shops in any part Of the Treas
ur. Mr.. Cortelyou does not permit
any Of the messengers to 10 work at
his residence after Office hours unless
they are paid for it. 1t has long been
a custom Of some cabinet officers and
some Of their assistants to have their
favorite messenger act as a butler
and a visitor at such homes in the
evening was sure to be met at the
door by the same person who stood
guard at the officials door during the
day time. AS this. necessarily led to
laxity of office discipline, Mr. Cortel-
you will not tolerate it. Messengers
and confidential clerks of bureau
chiefs are not now leaving the Treas
ury building on personal errands for
their chiefs quite so frequently az in
the past. As these pecularities Of tneI
new Secretary came to be known
whose duty it is to serve the public
are now paying more attention to that
service and less to their personal af-
fairs.

1ha Girl Who /. Gentle.

BY the gentle girl is not meant the
girl who is gentle in heart and thought,
though she should strive to be both,
but the girl who is gentle in her move
ments and in her speech.
She does not knock against chairs as
she enters the room, she does not plant
down each foot as II she were trying
to stamp the pattern out of the carpet.
When she talks and becomes inter-
ested in her subject she does not allow
her voice to become shrill tone that
is ear-piercing.
OF course, none Of these things are
wicked, but they show lack Of consid-
GRAFTON, and suggest that there is a
strain in one that does not belong to
the refined and lovable temperament.
The girl who is gentle learns to walk
quietly, to keep here eyes open so that
she does not trip over rugs, cushions,
chairs or tables.
The girl who Is gentle realizes that a
sweet, low voice and quiet manner
are more convincing of the power of
womanhood than all the loud-talking
and clustering imaginable.

SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE suL.
WARk OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
Two Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.


Sancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type Of fealty and love Of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars Of the nation s
greatness. and in American citizen
ship ia found the bulwark Of our re.
publican government.
Where the home life is IDEAL there
Is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
1ightenment and the domestic happi-
ness of the people. How important it
is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of a govern
ment and the maintenance of a ma
tion's greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions Of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
moil. such as Russia and the Central
American republics. will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes. and
that there Is an absence OF the love
OF country that should be found in the
hearts Of its citizens. There is a duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make 1t attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state OF home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are secure In their rights to
homes. there Is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-.
deavor to found for himself and his
progeny residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an In.
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country In the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re-
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit.
ed States. 1t Is important that the
home be located near good schools.
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality Of citizenship OF q
community can generally be gagged by
the standard Of its educational insti.
tutions. II is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is 10.
Gated or which he may reside near.
be = progressive place. And the bet.

greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. BY sup.

chixens will make II their nrst aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who ia loyal to home is generally

duties that good citixenship implies.

THE NEW MONEY CROP.
Leon County In Midst Of Her Big
Tobacco Harvest

Tallahassee, Fla. July 2O.-Leon
county is in the midst Of a tobacco
harvest, which promises to be both
bountiful and well paid for. The de-
mand for tobacco was never so good,
due to the shortage Of the filler crop
in Cuba and in some measure to the
strike Of the Havana cigar makers.
The acreage in this county has been
doubled during the year and the pros
pect is that it viii be more than dou-
bled during the next year. Leon
county now has about zoo acres IN
der shade, which will produce from
900 to 900 pounds to the acre. The
price according to grade ranges be-
tween so cents and IS cents, some Of
bringing as much as 81 a pound. The
crops in Gadsden. Jackson and Madl-
son counties Is also heavy, and the
prosperity, which promises to come
to the tobacco farmers has created a
great demand for tobacco lands,
which can now be bought In some sec
tons for as low a figure as SIS az
acre, ranging upward to 500.
The probability is that the farmers
will pay all the initial cost with the
first years crop. The most Of the
Florida tobacco is sold in York and
Lancaster counties Of Pennsylvania,
the great cigar manufacturing center.
The Sumatra leaf is grown here al
most exclusively. It Is used In the
manufacture of cigars that retail for
5 cents.

THE GREAT sAwsIEL PLANT
a Which c. H. Brown and Thomas
Bowling, Of Live Oak, Are
Large Owners.
Tampa Times.)

As noted in this paper, there were
present In this city yesterday two Of
Live Oaks most prominent business
men, Charles H. Brown, president Of
the Live Oak bank, and Thomas Dow
ling, until recently president of the
Bowling Lumber company Of Live
Oak, where they have one mill which
alone has a capacity Of 1905 feet
Of lumber per day. Mr.. Bowling re-
Gently sold his interest in the CON-
pany for a large sum.
Messrs. Brown and Bowling had
come here from Odessa. where they
have large lumber interests. Mr..
Bowling Is president and Mr.. Brown
secretary and treasurer of the Gulf
Pine company which recently pur-
chased the big lumber plant of Muel-
Ter & Lutz, near Odessa. C. H. Ted
der of this city Is vice-president Of
the company, the three gentlemen
constituting the firm.
In conversation with a Times man,
Mr.. Brown said the company was
making big improvements on its
equipment. and was entirely rebuild
Ing the large planning mill. When
the present arrangements planned
have been completed the mill will
have a capacity of $4,000 feet Of
lumber per day. The mill just now
Is not turning out much more than
one-third this amount, Tor seVera
reasons, one of them being that the
present condition Of the lumber trade
is not very encouraging.
