THE PASSING YEARS.
Zach One Brings a eetterment o.
Some Kind to All Man.

The fugitive years foliow each other
on their appointed rounds. To some
they come in too rapid suecession-life,
and time are evancscent. In the
thoughts and experience OF Others they
tirag. .~tediously along and seem, as IL
The e:d was infinite distances away.
in youth the years are too long. In
age they are too short. At the be-
ginning of h journey of life it seems
Us il it never would como to an end.
Toward its close it seems as ii the end
would be reached far i'm advance OF
It's Established period.
Blu in reality time docs not fly more
rapidly for h old man than it does
for the young. Youth sees the end in
the far distant perspective. Age sees
1T within a narrow range of vision.
That is the sole difference OF view In.
which the lapse OF time is contem-
plated.
These are obvious thoughts as we
pass the milestones of life. Each mon
ument measuring the distance which
We have Travelled is also Il monitor
with its lessons n MISUNDERSTANDING

and hope as the judgment OF time
and events may distribute its awards.
They are timely thoughts as we pass

it's successor come with it's new tasks
and trials. its missions of duty and its
hopes OF accomplishment. It is all be-
fore us. 1t has Its ,abors and it's re-
wards awaiting every day and every
hour.
= 1t is not necessary in order to gain
the rewards Of conscientious cndeavor
that the activities of life should be

willingness. the spirit to do and to
suffer il necessary fulfil the demands
!of duty. AS Milton says
They also serve who stand and
wait.
1t is a subject fer universal congrat-
mlation that each passin;. year brings
bcttermcnt to mankind. The improve
ments which science and experiment
have made the coUnlo property of
!tfle world are evidence tina, an ever
flowing and benevolent Providence con-
trolls tho events of our existence. Each
passage of the earth through it's orbit
,hrings countless blessings in human
:ltnelioration. The benefits Of nature
and progress descend Infinitely upon
ali. like vcrnal showers :.,N, summer
dcws.
FOR every gift which the times and
seasons bring we owe IL constantly ac-
cumulating debt of gratitude to the
source whence all blessings flow. We
may best pay our debt by the exercise
;of cllarity-by dividing With others
more needy the bounty which we pos
;sess. This is the highest form of wor-
ship.

NEW WEAR RESOLUTIONS.

NEW WEAR RESOLUTIONS.
A poorly dressed tired-faced woman,
the mother Of five small children and
a care free happy girl sat next to each
station waiting for the same train. The
woman was on her way home from
spending Christmas with her parents
and the girl was starting of for q
fortnight's visit that was to open the
New Year.
clamored so necessarily and the mother
looked so tired that the girl finally
opened her bag and too out some
candy to divide among them bringing
upon herself a swarm OF sticky fingers
and the everlasting gratitude Of the
mother. who Immediately opened a con-
versation which she threatened to keep
up until their ways parted. 1t was
as II she realized that it was probably
the only chance she would have to talk
to a sympathetic listener for many a
long day and h was resolved to make
the most of 1t.
Yes, I'm going back home. I wanted
to stay longer, but John won't hire a
girl to help more than three days. he
says its all f%oolishness when you have
a wife, SO I have to go back to do the
cookin' for him.. He's awful good
though, he gave me a new calico dress
for Christmas and the children each
a pair O. mittens. He doesn't believe in
giving presents this is the first one he
eve gave me since we was married,
but he said Hank Smith was buyin' one
for his wife and the man offered to
sell it to him cheap IL he'd talSc the rest
o the piece. And he let me go home,
too. He wasn't goin' to. but when my
mother got sick m sent for me he was
SO good. he said I could go, of course.
and he gave me a dollar beside my rail-
road ticket to buy them all some Christ
mas presents with. I'm going to make
a resolve to be a thoughtful. Of him
all the year as I know how to be and
to cook him all the things he likes and
not h I want myself
And the girl who had listened so
'sympathetically as the the woman
chatted away. did she resolve. too, that
on the New Year she would endeayor
to think less Of herself and more of
others, to help tired mothers entertain
restless children whenever she met
them. to be patient and bear with a
better grace her ills and disappoint-
ments that amounted to 80 little beside
what some women had to endure? No.
she made a vow hen and. there that
she o give no more candy to chill
dren when h had on her good clothes.
that she would never again allow her
self to be bored with the boastful
praises Of a wife who didn't know
when h was poorly treated. and to
ftrt with every man she met during
the year. making the man she Intended
to marry as miserable as possible to
make up for the trials of the unsuspect-
Ing women who didn't even realize that
husbands could be selfish.

This institution is held under the aus
pieces Of the Woman's Club, and opened
with q satisfactory enrolment of
twenty pupils. When the. new Acade-
my is built there will doubtless be pro-
vided a room suitable in size and loca-
ton for the little ones Of this depart
nent, requirement at present denied
them.
The present teacher; Miss Marie Nc
Cornell, from Danville, KY, Is a
charming young lady who seems fully
competent to discharge the duties de
volving upon her, and is very enthusi-
Rstic about her especial work. She
particularly desires the presence Of the
mothers and friends of the children at
the morning sessions, in order that they
may note the progress of the little
ones.
\ just at present Miss Mcconnell Is
somewhat hampered by having to stand
an unexpected preparatory examination
as q primary teacher, as under the re-
quirements of the Florida School Laws,
but she will doubtless qualify in short
while and be able TO continue her work
without any outside distraction.

he Kindergarten Schools Open
Monday Morning.

The kindergarten Schools, both in the
Normal Department of the State Col
lege for Women and at the Leon Acad-
envy, opened on Monday morning at
O'Clock. Y4. -.A &C.,.
The College Kindergarten is under
the direction of Miss Anna Charles,
whose successful career as a teacher of
the little ones is too well known TO need
more than passing mention. Miss
Charles held this position at DeFuniak
Springs when the Normal Schools were
situated at that place, and when the
general upheaval came two years ago,
she was appointed to the same work IN
the College here. Five young ladies'
are in Miss Chaires' class of instruction,
one Of whom will graduate at the end
of the present session. This is Miss
America Pillans, of Chipley. One of
the remaining four, Miss Caroline Wal
den, is a daughter of the President of
Palmer College, and a graduate of Lucy
Cobb Institute, at ATHENS, Ga. The
others are Misses Ollie Townsend, Of
Lake Butler, Mae Bell McRae, of Quin-
cy, and Mamie Charles, of Tallahas-
see.
Twenty-Five pupils are enrolled, which
Is IS many as the apartment will conve-
niently accommodate. Put for this
lack Of space the number would have
been larger, as application after apple
cation has of necessity been denied.
The room used apart from its size, is
an ideal one for the purpose, being well
ventilated and well lighted. Large
windows open out upon beautiful
view of hill and vale, dotted here and
there with stretches of woods. The air
is fragrant with reisonous odor from
the surrounding grove Of pines, and the
somewhat isolated position gives the
children plenty of playground away
from any outside interruptions or re-
strictions
cream which blends tremendously with
the dull green Of the woodwork. A
handsome upright piano stands in a
convenient corner and several good pic
lures hang on the walls. OF these last,
two are especially worthy of mention
One is a Madona, a copy Of Bohemian
ser's famous painting, and the other,
that beautiful picture in which the ar
fist delineated the idea Of the Messiah's
Reign of Peace, so beautifully described
in the 18th chapter Of Isaiah. These
were gifts presented by the graduating
class IN Kindergarten work, of the year

The State has provided q generous
supply of equipments and materials
which Miss Chaires and her enthusiastic

one Of the advanced music pupils Of the
College.

digest the food you eat. The stomach
should be given help. You ought to
