CoQUiNA CROSS UNEARTHED

A large coquina cross has been I'm.
earthed at Mrs. McConnell's place at
North CITY, which it is believed was
buried there by Ponce de Leon when
he landed on these shores. The cross
is formed with blocks of coquina,
most of which are in a good state of
preservation. On one block has been
discovered the figure q while on
the second is found 80" which leads
to the belief that Pone de Leon dis
covered Florida in 1913. and not in
1912, as some historians claim. 1t is
believed that the adjoining blocks
contained the other figures of the
date, but were so badly worn and
Clipped that the figures are not Iegi-
bic. The cross bears every appear-
ance Of being a genuine relic. and
Mrs. Mcconnell has had a curbing
placed around the cross so that it is
in clear view of inspection.-St Au-
gustine Cor. in Times Union.

NEWEST FAD SILHoUETTES

The newest fad is the silhouette.
Society is raving over it and decorat-
ing place cards of all descriptions with
the little black heads and using them
for guessing games at parties, and,
200. for photographs to send to friends.
They are dangerous things if the
icy they are to the girls with perfect
figures.
If you have a hat extraordinary,
have a silhouette made, hat and all.
if your gown has a train that is
startling. or if you have a head dress
that is wonderful, have it silhouetted.
The new fad came in with the unus-
Ial features in wearing apparel and
every hilarious effect fashion is de-
creeing proper must be silhOuetted.
A few years from now the pictures
will make a great laughing gallery in
the attic to which they will be rele-
gated, but they're good while they
last
1t is not an unusual thing now to go
into a room and see upon the walls
unique silhouettes upon snow white
paper, framed in deal black wood.
The pictures are surprisingly decOra-
tive
For dinners at which brilliant decor
atoms are used the silhouette place
cards are most effective. Tiny ones
on either square or round white cards
are used, and the silhouette is of the
hostess or Of the guest Of honor. if
there is one.
They .have not become common
enough as yet to be used for tally
cards. but they may be used that way
A picturesque Gibson or Fisher
head is often used when the hostess
objects to giving her guests her own
silhouette.
Faces seen in a silhouette do not
remain in the memory and grow more
interesting. as photographs often do.
There is not the expression, the inter-
est that clings to the memory of a
photograph Of one of your friends.
but when you first look you see it all.
Silhouettes are like some people-see
them once and you don't care if you
do not see them again. 1t is just be-
cause they are new that they are pop
ular.-Exchange

The Raindrop's Fate

BY Reua Nell Mead, Queen Bee, Blair,
Neb.. Aged 13 Years. Blue Side.
1t had been a month since IL had rained
a drop. The poor plants dropped and
died. The farmers were discouraged, for
II rain did not come their crops were
surely ruined. The leaves on the trees
were dying and falling.
One day a dark cloud passed across the
sun The farmers were so glad, for now
there would be rain. Before even a drop
fell the leaves began to look fresh again.
Each little rain drop had a message. The
first said that he had come to cheer the
old maple tree.
Il nave come to help the crops and
gladden. the armer's heart" cried a sec
ond.
MY errand is the best OF all, for I
nave come to help the little brook roll
onward to the great Father Of Waters ="

but as the old proverb says, speech is
silvery, but silence is golden then the
silent can do the errands as we'll as those

them and trod them into the ground.

How Brownie Won a Home

By Fred Sorry, King Bee. Aged 10 Years,
Monarch, Wyo. Red Side.
One bleak September night there was
a faint knock at the Jones log cottage.
Mrs. Jones opened the door and a little
shivering creature ran into the room and
laid down beside the fire. Mrs. Jones
kept her eye on the creature, for she didn't
I'VE the least idea what It could be. The
snow melted from its bushy hair, for 1t
was a little dog with brown hair. Mrs.
Jones, when she saw what 1t was, said:
Poor little doggie.' And the dog wagged
its tail. which hit against the wall as If
to say How kind she is" Mrs. Jones
kept the dog over night. She was glad
to have company, because her husband
was working on the railroad. The day
passed and the next night her husband
came home. Where did you get such an
ugly cur?' said her husband, looking at
the dog with staring eyes. Listen, Frank
Qor that was her husbands Nance, there
is someone around the house" Frank went
out and looked around the house and came
in and shut the door. How much pay
do you think I got this month, wife?" said
Frank. "Oh, about $50" mo, sos. Here,
take 1t and lay it away" She put It in
the cupboard and she was smiling all
the time she was doing 30. Bedtime drew
near and they all went to Sunderland.
All night long there was a creaking and
stir of leaves like someone walking. The
morning dawned and Frank went to work
without his breakfast. About an hour
after he went to work there was a man
walked in the Jones home without knock
ing. Hand owe some money and be quick
about it." Il haven't any" said Mrs.
Jones. But you have in the cupboard
in yonder corner" But you shall not
have it." We see" and the man struck
Mrs. Jones on the head, knocking her to
the floor.
Then from behind the stove came a little
brown object and, grabbing the man by the
leg, held him there. Mrs. Jones came to
her senses and ran out of the door and to
her nearest neighbor and brought the news.
The dog was still holding the robber and
the robber beating the dog about the head
cruelty. From Mrs. Jones nearest neigh
Dor ran q man who lived there to catch
the robber. AS the man entered the door
way the dog was holding hin He was
turned over to a policeman. When Frank
came home his wife ran to him and, throw
ing her arms around his neck, said: w
shall keep that dog forever. He saved your
earnings and my life" You may see a
pretty collar around the dogs neck and
the word Brownie on it to this day.

A Brave Girl

Before Captain Taylor left to go to Aus
tralia, he said to his 1O-year-oId daugh-
ter, Jenny. Take good care Of mother

A month had passed and nothing had
happened until one night Jenny was awak-
ened by her mother calling, Jenny, come
here" Jenny was soon there. Her mother
then said, There is a ship coming and
the lighthouse lamp is not burning.
Jenny said, Have no fear, mother. /

So Jenny rowed to the lighthouse and lit
the lamp. The sailors saw the lamp and
said. 1--WE will not go there because there
are rocks there"
1 forgot to say Jenny was in her night
gown. She got home all right. She had
a bad cold. When the sailors heard how
she had saved their lives they gave her
clothes and money, and, as they were
poor, Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor were glad to
get the money.

The Two Dandelion Seeds

BY Eunice Bode, Aged ~ Years, Falls
City, Neb., Lock Box 229. Blue Side.
One morning in May two dandelion seeds
floated along side by side to find a place
to sleep until the next spring. One seed
was proud and naughty; the other was
modest and sweet. II shall make my
home in this garden" said the proud seed,
as they passed over a wall into a beaut-
full garden. 81 shall have beautiful flow
ers and I shall be praised and admired
by everyone" So saying, it floated to
the ground.
The modest seed floated on until It came
to a pretty meadow that a little brook ran
through. Here is my home" the seed
thought, and floated down by the little
brook.
A year passed, n the modest seed
grew and blossomed into a dandelion
flower and lived a quiet, happy life with
the little brook for a companion and friend.
One day a lark came to visit her and she
asked him II no had ever heard of the
dandelion seed that went In the beautiful
garden. for she had often thought Of her
former friend.

Freckles turned about to behold empty
space where the man had been. Why"
he calculated, he must have got out away
back yonder, for he's nowhere in sight on

cart. which was gone also. "Oh, sir. that

cried. See, it's gone. And your rope is

why, sure replied the farmer. But
I naturally supposed you knew him as
you were walking along together. 1 sup
posed he was working for your father and
had been intrusted to go TO market with
you"
Then Freckles told the story of his meet
ing with the tramp, and tears were in his
bright eyes as he said: But he's got all
my nice vegetables. and my good cart, sir,
and the cart cannot be replaced. II was
worth a deal more to me than it would be

replied Freckles, pausing to reply. Where
are you from, sir?" Freckles added the
question merely to be friendly for his
