claimed a little miss as she gazed up
ward at a Wall street skyscraper.
They are not brownies, dearie,"
replied papa. "They are big men, like
me, but they look so tiny because they
are so high"
IF they were twice as high, would
they look twice as small?" she asked.

Froze Solid During Night

gion OF extreme temperatures had
on other occasions seen torrents froz
en-, but never under such startling
conditions. On looking round, we
found that everything we possessed
was also frozen solid, including our
saddle Of mutton. which was merely
block of ice. We were ravenous,
but we got no satisfaction from gnaw-
at Jumps of rock which ought to have
been succulent joint, and so. despite
our hunger, we had to content our.
selves with little tea-to make
which we melted ice-and a few bis.

fine collection of useful and ornamen-
tai pillows or cushions, from those for
the couch to dainty CONNECTIONS of dot
ted swiss and ribbon for the dressing
table. There were also cushions filled
with pins of all sizes and with needles.
There were denim cushions large
enough to sit on when placed on the
floor, and what girl does not adore sit
ting on the floor in front of the fire
and dream long, happy dreams of the
days that are yet to come? A bride
elect who heard Of the affair said she
thought such a downpour would be
very acceptable. so the readers who
have been asking for something new
In the way OF showers may adapt this
to their needs.

His inallenable Right.

When Willie goes TO school next
week he will have a new teacher.
The new teacher will like Willie
when she begins to know him, but tho
process may take several terms.
Willie's teacher began to like him
Just before the close of the school
year, and she testified to her affection
by offering him pocketknife.
There, Willie" she said, you have
tried so hard to be a good boy that 1
am going TO give you this nice four
bladed pocketknife-but you must
promise me never to cut the school
furniture with It."
Take 1t back, teacher" said Willie.

Loose Shoes.

Quite as bad as too tight shoes,
against which we are always warned,
are too loose ones; they cause corns
and bunions and often produce fat
tening of the arches. The woman with
the peculiarly shaped foot, who can
not get shoes exactly to fl her ex-
cept when made to order, should get
them a little too long rather than a
little too wide; 1t is the lesser of two
evils

A Novel Amusement for Children.

AT recent party for youngsters
from mine to eleven" they had a soap
bubble contest. First the hostess gave
each child sheet of colored crepe pa
per and needle and thread, A
grown-up took each pipe and quickly
drew face on the back of the bowl
and the children were told to make
dolls OF them. A couple of prizes were
offered and 1t was surprising what at
tractive creations were turned out.
The boys did just about as we'll as the
girls. The pipe babies were taken
home as souvenirs. There were favors
for the soap bubble contest, too.

Before KNOWS arrival here mystery
surrounded his whereabouts and It

BALL GAME TOMORROW
-. DAYToNA VS.. ROLLINS.

Lovers of that great American
game, base ball, should not forget
the game to be played tomorrow af-
ternoon, at Harrison's Park, between
Daytona and the Rollins College team.
The Rollins College boys played at
Ormond yesterday afternoon and are
to play there again this afternoon.
Quite a number from this city at
tended the Monday game and Ben
jamin Foltz pitched one or more in
nings for Ormond. Manager Nash,
of the Daytona team, says there was
a good deal of heavy hitting during
the play and the score ran high, but
the field work was excellent.
The Daytona boys are good ball
players and though it is somewhat
difficult for them to find time to
practice at this season Of the year,
they are in fine shape to meet the
Rollins team and the game promises
to be an interesting one.
The game is to be called at
2:30 p. m.

ed out and added another to their list
of delightful. evenings spent around
the camp fire And this In spite OF
all misfortunes, for all were game for
whatever fate had in store. Their for
titude was very much needed, for af-
ter another strenuous day, instead of
meeting the CHEEKY lights of Palm
Beach they saw before them the fire
of a Seminole camp. Upon inquiry Of
the Indians, who luckily were able to
speak English, they ELECTED the state
ment that they were only few miles
from Lake Okeechobee, and miles and
miles from civilization, except that
represented by their outfit.
The Indians were very much occu-
pied with the automobiles, apparently
not having seen one before They
did not trust themselves to come near
er than five to ten feet of the ma
chimes. The SeminOles sat up all
night watching the autos, never speak
ing unless spoken to, and the mem
bers Of the touring party, especially
the ladies, to whom the SeminoleS
were as much of a curiosity as the
automobiles were to the Indians, also
spent a rather uneasy night, their fit
full slumbers being filled with dreams
of Indians with scalping knives, ALI
gators and wild beasts lurking around
their camp fire.
Setting out early the next morn
ing and making little time through
continued water, mud and sand, West
Jupiter was finally reached which was
the first sight of civilization for about
three days.
When within twelve miles of Palm
Peach, every leaf in a spring was
broken, and the distance to Palm
Beach had to be made on the frame.
after a rest of several days the party
mOtored to Boynton, and then on to
Miami.
The adventure was unique in that it
was the first expedition of the kind
on which women and children were
carried. And it was no little exper-
fence for the men of the party who
had to meet almost insurmountable
difficulties offered by the terrible
condition of the roads.
Florida is noted for it's good roads
and, while the route to Miami may
not be among the best of them, the
difficulties of this party arose prin-
cipally from their lack of knowledge
Of the proper route to follow and them
losing their way south of White City.

MODERN HERODS.
BY EDWIN a. NYE.


The milk trust or Chicago has raised
the price of milk from to cents per
quart. alleging the high price or feed
and the greater demands OF the dairy
men.
Which sounds plausible. hut
If you buy milk Dy tie pitt the
price Is cents per pint or 10 cents
per quart.
That means that the poor OF the city.
who are the least abe TO buy. must
pay more tor milk tndu the rich.
The tenement folk do not buy milk
by the quart. lhey must always buy
in small quantities coal by the S,'ui-
tleful Or the buSnel aud milk by the
pint.
And because of their poverty these
poor Of Chicago must pay 20 PER
CENT MORE tor their milk than the
rich or we'll To TO
DO you wonuer the poor of the cities
lose hope:
The poor families have babies. They
have more babies than the rich. Tue
equation Is like this:
More babies less money.
Less money higher price.
Babies must have milk. Their little
stomachs witt not digest or asSimilaie
more substantial food.
Mix Is a necessity where there Is a
baby. And the men who manage the
milk trust know that. Without milk
the babies will die-Fich babies and
poor babies alike.
II the milk Is impure the babies will
die. and thousands do die on that ac-

the house baby will get It's milk. II
there is no money the mother will 60

Now
Investigation shows the farmers are
getting no more money for their milk
than before the raise. The trust Is
not only squeezing an extra cent out
OF the consumer, but 1t is COMING

OUT OF THE MOTHER LOVE FOR
THE BABY.
