His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were dancing as he cried, Now, that is the way the little monkey swung off by his tailr' His cheek was pressed close to the girls, and his arm rested lovingly on her shoulder. Evidently she had won his heart too.
 Hastings felt swift pang of jeal- ousy and started forward.
 Then they heard him. and Jack sprang up, with cry of delight.
 The girl was too loaded down to rise, and so she sat there. Perhaps it was the sudden flood of color to her cheeks; perhaps it was the upward glance of her eyes.

 His eyes challenged hers as he said: "How long have YOU been receiver of stolen goods, Miss Trevor? I am glad to see that you have the grace to blush for your sins, even under your paint"
 Jack was quite shocked. "She did not steal me-" he protested. "I was lonely, and was waiting for you in the hall. and she asked me to come in. and came, and we've had beautiful time" he added in joyous outburst.
 That's just as bad" Hastings an- swered severely. You mean to say that she enticed you in here

Givinu Her the Benefit.

The dressmaker looked at the bill which had been made out for the plain little frock and then threw up her hands in horror. ''That will never do,' she said emphatically. Twenty for making and $3.13 for findings. How would that appear on paper, $23.13. Why, the lady would look upon the frock as hoodooed and imagine that every time she wore it it would bring her bad luck. Here; let me have the list of findings" She figured rapidly and soon had the bill $24.3T.
 'There," she said contentedly, "that will satisfy her. And she will be still more pleased when I discount the change and accept an even $24."
 But" said the girl who had made out the bill, "1sn't that somewhat of an overcharge?"
 "Oh. we'll" answered the dressmaker, ''an overcharge isn't nearly as bad as an unlucky number. Besides, l couldn't very we'll charge her less than the real amount, could I?'-New York Press.

The new Schoolteacher had n talk with Mrs. Hobart one day in regard to discipline. "I don't see how you manage Bobby as well as you do.'' said the teacher. "I like him. but he's such a mischievous little fellow. and he will not mind. yet every one says he minds you. I wish you'd explain it to me"
 Well" s"id Mrs. Hobart doubtfully, "rd just as soon tell you, but I'm afraid 1t won't help you much. You see, I kind of coax him."

 "Yes." said Mrs. Hobart, "that's what I do. I say to him. Now. come.

Animals as Weather Prophets.

Before a rainstorm a cat nearly all ways washes its face. Why? Some claim that the atmosphere excites the electricity in the cats fur, and to over come the tinglfng sensation she sets to washing herself.
 Or If there is no cat in the house you may possess a parrot. If the bird sits down and makes a sort of hissing noise look out for rain in the night.
 One need seldom fear getting wet in the country. Horses, cows, sheep, hogs. dogs-an evince certain peculiar ities before a storm. Dogs bury bones; horses fidget and neigh; cows lie down; hogs grunt.
 Some day you may walk into a field and see a flock of sheep in corner, all with their backs turned to the north west. If you wait long enough you will feel a wind blow up from that di- cection.-London Answers.

DEPARTURE OF MRS. J. j. DIcKI
SON

Mrs. ]. J. Dickson, the aged widow
of Florida's general and the defender
and protector of her soil during the
lured days of 81 to '65, left yesterday
morning for Houston, Tex, where her
son-in-law, Lueit. Bryan, and three of
her grandchildren and several great
grandchildren reside.
Mrs. Dickson has been at the Len
OK, on Newman street, where Mr.. Te-
bean, himself a Confederate veteran,
and Mrs. Tehean and friends IL the
city have shown her great courtesy
and consideration. Mrs. Dickson Ge-
sired to beanear the grave of hec huS-
band, who lies buried here.
But with advancing infrmities, her
heart turned to her own, who are yet
in the flesh and especially to the lit
tie great granddaughter, Dixie, 4"
whose mother is named Florida" and
who sent such loving letters to her
great grandmother.
With loving hands, but with tear
full eyes, kind friends assisted the gem
tie and still mentally brilliant lady of
ante-bellum days to her place in the
Pullman car on Sunday morning, and
consigned her to the care of the kindly
conductor Mrs. Dickson reaches
New Orleans today and Houston to-
morrow.
Florida has lost a precious charge,
this proud, brilliant and cultured wo-
man. who, with her own hands, minis
tered to the sick soldiers, and who
several years ago wrote as a tribute
to her husbands memory, Dickson
and His Men, a copy of which should
be in every home in Florida.-Jack-
sonville Metropolis. Monday.
Mrs. Dickson was a resident Of
Ocala for many years. Her husband
was living in this county when he en-
tered upon that career that made his
name a household word in every home
in Florida. 1t was here that he lived
after that conflict was ended, and it
was here that he died.
He was as true, loyal and devoted a
husband as he had been soldier, and
the devoted wife lived but to reflect
his heroic achievements and make
his name immortal The lives of this
loving couple were as a sweet bene-
diction to those who came in contact
with them, and to our people will al
ways be one of devoted memory sane
titled as if with fragrant incense and
hallowed with precious ointment.
The prayers and good wishes of our
people go out with this good woman
to her new home, to be among those
whom she loves so tenderly, and who
in return we fain hope will keep as
sacred vigil at her bedside as did the
vestal virgins who guarded the sacred
fires in the temple of Vesta.

THE GOLDENROD

written for the Ocala Banner)
This flower is fuller Of the sun
Than any our country can show;
1t has the heart of August won.
And scatters wide the warmth and
glow
Kindled at summers mid-noon blaze
Where gentians of September
bloom,
Along October's leaf-strewn ways,
And through November's baths OF
gloom.
Herald of autumn's reign, it sets
Gay bon fires blazing round the
fields,
Rich autumn pays in gold its debts
For tenancy that summer yields.
Beauty's slow harvest now comes in,
And promise with fulfillment won,
The hearts vast hope does but begin
Filled with bright seeds of sweet.
ness gone.
Because its myriad glimmering
plumes,
Like a great army's stir and wave
Because it's gold in pillows blooms,
The poor mans barren walks to
lave;
Because its sun-shaped blossoms show
How souls receive the light of God
And unto earth give back that glow
/ thank Him for the goldenrod.

BLUE SINK

Colonel John NJ. Martin says that he
recently visited Blue Sink, where
young Clyde Aiken was drowned. He
says that il is very curious forma-
ton of nature. 1t is located in the
open pine woods. There is no growth
of trees or vines or any of the usual
signs to indicate that there is any
water in the neighborhood. Suddenly
you come upon a basin of water even
with the earth, perhaps covering
about half an acre of ground, with
apparently no inlet nor outlet. The
water is blue, and it has been sounded
to a depth of ESQ feet without reach
ing bottom. 1t seems just to be there
that's all.
