great bulk of Florida's natural resources was absolutely untouched, and among these, one of the most important was her virgin forests of pine, which covered the entire peninsula and constituted the re- pository of uncounted millions. Side by side two great industries developed in Florida-lumber and naval stores. Today they rank with the greatest branches of trade, but today hardly an acre of timber land in Florida remains untouched by the axe. 9e-
 It is not, however, the lumberman who menaces the forests with destruction. While his ravages take away much of the picturequeness and grandeur of the woods they are not fatal, for only the largest trees are taken. The smaller ones are left until they have attained a size which makes them valuable for lumber, the land is only cut over at intervals of several years, and in the meanwhile the process of propagation continues and the forests are preserved
 Unfortunately the naval stores operator is not constrained by the same necessity. No tree is too small to yield it's quota of stores large and small alike feel the stroke of the tapper's axe, and millions of pines are destroyed every years. At the present rate of consumption no very great time will elapse before the peninsula will be denuded of timber.
 An account of the destruction which tle work of the naval stores companies has caused follows, well illustrated my photo graphs.

Ad ISs ALICE E. RUMPH of Bir-
 M mingham has recently exhibited \ two pictures at the annual exhlbi- tion of the Philadelphia Water Color club. One of ner subjects is a charcoal sketch of a bit of Paris and the Seine by night. It is a study that Miss Rumph did when she was a student in the Quartier Latin, and has been exhibited in this city. The other picture. water color, was eata- logued as "A Southern Market" It is a typical market stand. In direct contrast to the gloom and blackness of the Seine, with the suggestion of a moon back of the faintly outlined towers of Notre Dame, a wine boat moored below one of the old Paris bridges the whole study full of the shiver of Paris, is the other study, full of the color of the south.
 Miss Rumph in treating of the markets of the south has found a new field of ar tistie appreciation. Their color has ap- pealed to her, their individual character and . certain quaintness, commonplace, no doubt, to the passing throng but strik- ing to the person with an eye for color.
 Artists have sometimes turned to the old French markets of New Orleans for types, for local color, but Miss Rumph, looking for types, for striking color, has painted a little corner of a market at

The Terror of the Niqht-Rider.

Governor Will son deserves credit for his declaration that a few law-breakers shall not dic- tate to the vast majority of law-abid- ing citizens of the state, and we look to him to back up his words with force, if necessary. The situation, in which the American Tobacco company and the planters who wish to sell til cir product to 1t are terrorized by armed force and their property put to the torch, is nothing short of revolution and anarchy But it is the natural re- suit of the propaganda of unrest which has been carried on among an easily excitable class of the population. Sup pose that the wholesale arson and pill lage had been committed by corpor- ation fin restraint of trade:' the country would have rung with the out age from Maine to California, whereas the recent cowardly crimes of these present day Ku Klux attract compar- atively little attention. But the rioters have been so rash as to destroy to- bacco belonging to the Italian govern ment, which is in the habit of insisting upon its treaty rights. Thus our na- tional fault of lawless disregard of property rights brings upon us the probable humiliation of admitting our sh hortcomings. and making reparation for tn en- to foreign power.

 Certainly these Dago stands are not lacking in varied color. and I have found it delightful to sketch these types, and to reproduce to some extent the life of these little markets It is an artistic field, the only drawback being in the peo- pie who watch you rather curiously when you go to paint Dago stand. But after awhile you do not mind them you are after color effects, types Dago character istics.'
 In speaking of her charcoal sketches, Miss Rumph said that she had painted a misty evening in Paris, down by the quays.
 T always loved the back of Notre Dame" she said, and got just the view that I wanted down at this old quay. with one of the old wine boats from Bordeaux anchored there, and the deep and mystic shadows of the Seine by night.
 Miss Rumph has exhibited at the New York Water Color society, and her recent distinguished honors in having two pie lures passed upon so favorably by the Philadelphia Water Color club is gratify ing not only to the young artist but to her many friends.

Water color is a medium which is eX- eeedingly= popular among women. At the recent Philadelphia exhibition a fair per centage of the pictures represented the work of women water colorists. Reeos- nizing this, a woman, Miss Violet Oakley, was made a member of the jury of se- lection, and Miss Blanche Dillaye was one of the three members of the hanging committee.
 In the reproduction in this article it is impossible to form an idea of the wealth of color in Miss Rumph's studies of the markets of the south. The reproductions merely show little corners which have furnished the artist with much inspira- ton.
 The original water color exhibited in Philadelphia shows a sunny morning at the Five Points market. An awning is lowered over the fruits and vegetables, which range from watermelons to car rots. A coop of chickens is in the fore ground. The proprietor of the market stands on the sidewalk in the attitude of giving an order, while two other figures in characteristic attitudes stand in the doorway of the market.
 The study has much to commend it both in composition and in extraordinary sense of color.

reach almost around the campus in New Haven.
 The social side of the road tour is one that keeps the singers as busy as little bees. You see the day for the singers does not begin at daybreak, not by several hours. Breakfast is served at 10 o'clock in the morning or later. The warblers and instrumentalsts then sit around in their Dathrobes or lounging robes writing letters or trying to read. A few singers have taken text books with them on the road tour, but have done little reading in them after the first one or two at tempts. After the first social function of the day, which is usually luncheon given , by the wife or some member of the fam fly of Yale man, there may be a tea, or a rectpton or two, and then back to the car go the singers for their evening clothes There is usually a dinner in honor of the clubs, and then comes the concert. Sometimes the men split up in groups when there is no big dinner for them all, and are entertained at smaller dinner parties.
 In many cities, as soon as the concert is over, there is a dance and often there is a smoker for the men at one of the clubs in the town. The days routine hay ing been finished the men get back to the car and have their luncheon, which the tlltl IdS pTepaItu dIOFtllIDe 1OOn SOnSS, love songs and comic songs often come on with the coffee and cigarettes.
 It is divulging a state secret to say that the attendance of the men at the social affairs given in the various towns through which they pass is compulsory. Indeed it is; and the man who fails to show up has to pay a fine. There are. however, few entertainments in honor of the men for which they care so little that they will risk paying a fine for the privilege of staying away. If a crowd of young fellows is ever given a continuous good time, it is the crowd upon a trip of the Yale university musical clubs.
