German scientific society the slightest
deviation from that path of stupid pom

C. n. 3. FLOYD

In one of his characteristic sketches
C. H. B. Floydputs the following into
the mouth of one of his characters
and makes her say of himself: He
seems crazy only to uneducated peo-
pie. You know really educated peo-
pie seem unbalanced to people OF no
special cultivation when the educated
people are brutal enough to shown
their intellectual superiority. Every
one who has practiced law for a living
for eight or ten years is mentally
superior to all others who have not
been sharpened by this Spartan men
tai training. Floyd is an ariscrat of
the intellect He each morning be-
fore dressing takes an hours mental
gymnastic exercises. He walks on a
tight-rope rapidly from the star at
the end of the handle of the little dip
per to the star Sirius. Then he cools
off insthe nebula in Andromedea.
Then he sucks the water out of a
couple of rivers, and drinks up lake
or so. Then he gobbles up pine
apple crop. Then he fights duel
with a flea, using swords made from
the prongs of sand-spurs. Then he
captures couple of man-eating
sharks with one hand by the tail.

BREECHES AND RUFFLED
SHIRT BOSOMS

There is much to be said in favor
of ruffied shirtbosoms, lace edgings
for cuffs and knee breeches for men.
The present costume is all that is
inartistic and unattractive.
The old costume that went out of
general acceptance only about a cen

if not in outright beauty, was con-
venient, and was a pleasure to behold.

able and convenient

colorless and prosaic they were so
years ago, but there still is much
room for the enrichment of them up
and down the gamut of colors that
are within the range of good taste.
The sole reasonable objection to
the return of knee breeches, ruffies
and lace is that they would increase
the cost of the masculine wardrobe.

THE pEAN-MAppEN WEDDING

A wedding which created unusual
interest was that of Mr.. Joshua Dean
to Miss Mary Madden. at the Baptist
church, Spar, Sunday, August Goth,
at o'clock p. m.
Joshua is a man of extensive ac-
quaintance within the realm he has
lived, had his being, and moved, with
in the past fifty-eight years. The
boundary lines of his realm might be
designated as follows: Hawthorn on
the north, Sparr on the south, Fort
Mccoy on the east, Micanopy on the
west. In character he typifies the
ideal happy-go-lucky, harmless, inof-
fensive, handwriting man of wages
on the farm, thoroughly honest. per-
fectly conscientious and kind-hearted
and good. For a number of years he
has made his home with the citizens
of Lochloosa and Island Grove, more
permanently residing with Mr. ]. r.
Tompkins of Lochloosa.
Mary" is a woman approaching
middle age, and in character fittingly
conformed to that of the man she has
selected for a future husband. Her
home has been made with maiden
aunt at Sparr. She possesses a touch
OF natural gifts, and is not lacking in
appearance and womanly graceful
ness. The universal endorsement is
that she is a smart woman. This
means that she is not slothful in per-
forming her duties. 1t is an enviable
trait of character.
Hence, a large congregation of peo-
pie gathered at the Baptist church
hours before the time set for the we'd
ding, that they might not miss the
rare scene. The south bound train
brought quite an additional number
from Lochloosa and Island Grove,
among whom was Hon. w. P. Temp
kins, notary public, state at large, of
Lochloosa, who had been chosen by
the groom to perform the ceremony.
When the time arrived for the per-
forming of the ceremony the house
was full to overlooking, some estimat-
ing the number of people from 250 to
800. A holy hush moved over the
large audience as the honorable no.
tary rose and faced the contracting
parties, and in solemn and distinct
language spoke the words that sealed
together two happy lives.
Congratulations we're then extended
and some gifts made, after which a
wedding picture was made with
kodak which happened to be there,
and the happiest of all happy couples
boarded the north bound passenger
train for weeks wedding tour in the
Lochloosa and Island Grove neighbor-
hoods.
In all sincerity a universal good
wish is extended from the acquaint-
ances of the bride and groom. AS
the seasons come and go, as the trees
and vines and stalks bud, bloom and
bear their fruit, as the spring time
brings its tender plants and autumn
natures to fruition, as the streams
skip along their peaceful and pebbled
pathway, and the lakes under a calm
sky lie sleeping, dreamy and silent,
so may these two innocent, inOffen-
sive lives flow onward in the even
tenor of their way, undisturbed in
their bliss by a single black and
wicked spirit, until dismissed from
earthly duty by benediction of Gods
approval in the glory of a peaceful,
closing, fine. sunset
