BETTER THAN BEET GREENS.
Dock That Grows i'm Marshy Places
Makes Succulent Dish.


Those fond recollections about
beet greens and other early garden
truck which was recorded re-
Gently interested me greatly" said
the amateur epicure, but l can go
the writer one better in the matter of
greens.
Il guess can go him two better,
for in my humble opinion dandelion
tops make a more edible dish than
beet tops. But the greens / knew

try didn't come from the garden or
from the field. They came from the
marshes.
Didn't you ever hear of dock be-
ing cooked and eaten? 1t grew in
profusion along the edge of bitches in
marshy ground, right close down to
the water. 1t had big, long leaves of
a dark green, and the stems and veins
were red.
THE dictionary mentions many
varieties of dock, and l guess the one
| mean must be the red veined sorrel-
wort. But whatever its proper name,
it sure made good eating. The spin
ach which we get in New York res
taurants is tasteless compared with
it.
MY grandfather used to say it
made good blood. Anyhow. l have
spent many a spring morning gather

Ticker and of the dock combined to
give the greens a sharp taste which
was very palatable."

FraternaI OrfanlEatIons.

Perhaps no agency outside the Chris
tian church has ever done so much To
uplift and sustain men as the fraternaI
societies, Of which we see so much in
this country.
The fraternal society has reached it's
greatest heights in this country, and
millions of men are adherents of one or
more Of the great organizations which
now hold their lodges everywhere.
The great central idea in all Of these
organizations is love toward one another,
love toward their country and love to
God.
Charity is the chief virtue practiced,
and millions of money are raised annu-
ally and spent for the destitute, feeding
the hungry, nursing the sick, burying
the dead, raising and educating the or
phan, relieving and comforting the wild
oW. Orphanges, hospitals and frater-
nal homes dot the land as a result of
their charities.
Not one of the long list of fraternal
organizations but insists in a belief in a
Supreme Being as a prerequisite to
membership,
Not one but requires its membership
to obey the laws Of morality to be
loyal citizens of the country in which
they live, and to conduct themselves as
to avoid censure and reprOach,
All their great charities are practiced
without ostentation the receivers are
not humiliating themselves because
they receive that which is their just due,
and the general motto is from him
who hath to him who hath need.
No fraternal organization pretends to
take the place Of the church, but with
out exception they attempt to 80 edu'
cate their members that the step from
lodge to church is not a difficult one
but one most natural and most TO be ex
pected. Miami Record.

10 our SUBSCRIBERS,

We have mailed ali statements, and
after this issue we shall be compelled
TO cut off our list all who are in arrears
for the paper. We do not like to do
this, and would not, il the recent ruling
Of the PostOfice department did not
force us to. We have some friends that
are in arrears that feel like members of
the family, and we are lOsthe to part
with them. It is our desire to retain
them all, but to do this we must ask
that you renew at once, or we will be
forced, under the law, which we deem
most unjust, to strike your name from
the list. t..s
We would urge our subscribers, who
are in arrears to send in the amount
due, and then you will not miss an
issue. Please bear this in mind, and do
not delay, but do it now.

RAhniIAina Lanark Inn.

The Lanark Hotel Company, of which
DR.. w. L. Moor is the president, is pre-
pairing to rebuild Lanark Inn, at Lam
ark-on-the-Gulf. The work Of prepara-
tion is being pushed forward as rapidly
as possible, and the company is ready
to receive bids from competing contract.
ors. q The plans and specifications for
the new Inn were secured from p. b..
Robinson, an architect Of Savannah
Ga.
The Lanark Hotel Company, with a
capital stock Of $25, 900, was recently
incorporated by j. P. Williams, John
r. Sharp, ]. w. Callahan, Robert Nc
Tyere and others, and it is the intention
of the company TO push forward the
work of building as fast as possible.
For the immediate accommodation of
guests an ''annex" will be built under
the supervision Of Gilmore & Davis Co. ,
which will contain an Office and IL
rooms. The hotel proper will occupy
the site of the old Inn and will contain,
on the first floor a suite Of Offices, a
large parlor, an immense dining room,
and apparently miles Of veranda. The
second floor will contain "a bedrooms,
with all the usual sccompaniments Of
closets, baths and toilets.
The construction of the plan is very
peculiar, it being kind Of half-hexagon
in shap. In the middle, or front section,
the Offices, ETC., will be situated. On
the left of this, as one faces the build
ing, will be the parlor and writing room.
On the right, Is the dining room. The
most peculiar feature Of the building is
the placing of two immense, uncovered
wells in the middle OF the two outside
sections of the hexagon, which extend
from the ground through the roof.
These wells are for the free admission
Of air and will be of great service in
keeping cool the temperature Of the
hotel, since there will be windows from
all adjoining rooms opening into them.
They will also be hoored with brick and
we'll drained of all water that may come
in through the open roof. From the ap-
pearance of the drawing, the Inn bids
fair to be q comfortable, handsome and
convenient building, far superior 20 the
old one.
The Lanark Improvement Company,
Of which, also, Or. Moor is the ener-
getic president, is Officered as Of old,
and is hustling to put Lanark IN clean,
attractive condition before the erection
Of the "snnex. 4" It is preparing the
hotel grounds, laying OF, and selling
lots, and making streets. -Four new
cottages, belonging TO Mr. Williams,
have already been erected, and one, be-
longing 10 Mr.. Sharp, is nearing COM
pletiOn. Eight or ten lots also, have

improvements al the Gas Plant.

A representative of this Office accom-
panied Mr.. D. r. Swing, the superin-
tendent Of the Capital City Light and
Fuel Company, down 20 the gas plant
one day this week, and from the inn
provements that have been made, one
would Judge that the people Of Talla-
hassee need have no more uneasiness
about the supply and quality Of their
gas.
New machinery has been supplied,
repairs have been made, and a general
overhauling and cleaning done. An ex-
perienced and sufficient force has been
put in charge, and everything now seems
to be in ship-shape order. There is also
an immense supply of coal laid in 50 that
no trouble will arise because of any
stringency in the coal market. The
waterworks station, too, has been put
in thorough order, and looks clean and
neat, with new paint and bright window
panes.
Mr.. Swing is a man Of indomitable
energy, and is anxious, 90 far as lies in
his power, TO do his duty by the patrons
Of the company he represents, and now
that the company has put in the repairs
and Improvements needed, we hope there
will be no more friction between them
and the Tallahassee public.

IMPROVING THAT PIPE.
Treatment Thog Require 20 Make
Them Treasures ef ~ Smoker.


How dear to the reflective amoker is
an old pipe, mellOWed and seasoned by
time and usel There are men who de-
clare that their old pipes are their dear
est possessions, made 80 by memory,
association, travel and admiration. BE
that verdict true or not, old pipes In
spire a passion in the breasts Of their
owners curious arc pathetic.
Pipes grow up with men. They retain
them long after they have passed the
last stages Of usefulness. What may be
said of one pipe may be said of every
kind Of pipe, from the costly meerschaum
and briar down to the humble and insig-
nificant cob and clay
To believe, as many do, that the older
the pipe grows the better it is, is an en-
tire misconception. This, however, holds
good up to a certain period Of time, for
each pipe must improve on its individual
merits.
When pipe is first used it is raw, un-
seasoned and often bitter. This is true
of the best as we'll as in the cheapest
wood. Smoking gradually mellOws and
fiavors the pipe AS the pipe gains
mellOwness and flavor it will lose its
unseasOnableness and bitterness; it will
smoke hard, and in some cases burn the
wood and become untrustworthy as q
test Of tobacco's quality. Il is impos-
sible to say when this process Of de-
terioration begins, as it is governed en-
tirely by the individual smokers prac-
tice.
The real pipe lover seldom smokes his
pipe when It is hot, for II the pipe is new
it may burn. Many men carry two pipes
with them, and have little pipe rack at
home, which hold half dozen pipes, and
they smoke them alternately. By this
method pipes are given a chance not
only to cool, but 10 ''season" to a par
ticular brand Of tobacco.
Pipes grow old and Outlive their time,
and the veteran smoker can find no other
use for them but to handle occasionally
and cherish for the sentimental and pic
turesque history which surrounded the
blue and white clouds Of tobacco smoke
that came from them and dissolved into
pipe dreams.
A pipe before the end Of its days may
be patched and mended with eobbler's
wax thread, or a new mouthpiece be
added, and undergo an entire transform
alton from its original self.
