Boston and Hartmann.

Mr.. Hartmann returns after his alb
sence bigger man than when he last
visited US. He has discarded certain
wild traits of his early youth his
playing is agreeably characterized by
a confluence, self control and sense
of proportion that were too often
lacking on the previous occasion.
The programme, moreover, contains
many numbers eminently calculated
to display the violnist's warm rich
and many colored tone, his fleet fling
ers and suppleness of style. Had Mr..
CalZin, an excellent pianist in many
ways, been more courageous, less diff
dent and self-cOnScious, he could have
given Mr.. Hartmann more support in
the concerto, where, in any case, the
ack of an orchestral accompaniment
is sure to be felt. AS it was, the vir-

The Biz Boys.

Our infant industries of the past
have reached maturity.-A. Carnegie.
They're not the fragile darlings that
they were in days gone by;
They're lot of husky youngsters with
an appetite for pie.
The roaring of the furnaces that wear
a molten glow
Shows that their wind is strong and
that their pulses are not slow.
They've often been the envy of an older
enterprise,
For they're lusty in the struggle where
a dollar is the prize.
And, somewhat unaccustOmed to the
ways Of polished ease.
They reach for what they're wanting
without saying "If you please"
So toss away their bonnet strings and
cut their curly hair
And let their sleeveless arms be shown
all muscular and bare.
From fond parental care we must re-
lease them for the strife;
We don't want mollycoddles even in
commercial life.

A Cake and a Tag.

A Cleveland woman was asked to
furnish some form of food for a church
supper and promised a cake. She has
furnished cakes before, and they have
been mixed in with other cakes, for
there are many, and so lost their iden-
tity. No doubt the lady was pleased
with this arrangement, her cakes in
variably being of the chocolate variety
and quite unspeakable because of their
heaviness and messy stickines.
But this time she didn't make a
cake, being short of both material and
time. Instead she bought a nice choc-
Olate cake of a leading caterer and put
it on one of her own plates and sent
it to the church.
The lady and her husband and her
four children attended the supper, and
10! the first thing she saw was her
purchased cake, neatly tagged with a
little pasteboard square that bore the
words, Contributed by Mrs. Brown"
And when she looked about all the
other cakes were tagged in the same
fashion. Then the company sat down
and the good things, including the
cakes, were passed around.
Later in the evening Mrs. Brown saw
her cake again 1t was on a side table

county, was a guest Monday at the
home of E. S. Matthews, of this city.
The achievements of Mr.. Matthews
very strikingly illustrate that there are
opportunities in Florida for young men
who are willing to apply themselves.
From a yOungster with only willing
hands and an active brain as capital he
has developed in fifteen years into one
of the most extensive farmers in Flor
ida and man of affairs generally.
This year he has 500 acres planted to
sea island cotton and probably as much
more in corn and other crops. A very
good idea of the extent of his farming
operations may be gained from the
knowledge that it requires thirty

ned annually, the vice-presidency OF a
thriving bank and various other
smaller business interests give Mr..
Matthews plenty to do, but it is his
willingness to do that has brought sue

Young friends, don't let the pessi-
mists get you into believing that every
thing is IOp-sided and that the "OctO-
pus" or the system" or anything else
has swallowed up all the opportunities
in this great country Of ours. There
are plenty of opportunities. Get out
and find yours and stay with it. -Starke
