This is the spirit of the Spaniard.
The early history of Florida is Span
ish. The first European tragedy of
Florida is an appanage of Pensacola.
1t antedates the burial of De Soto in
the Mississippi. Putting off from Santa
Rosa island early in 1900, four hundred
years ago, within fourteen or fifteen
years after a Spaniard first saw the
surf advancing on the shore of the
Western hemisphere, before there
were any settlements on the Atlantic
coast north of Florida, Panfilo de
Narvaeth in boats that he had made
with great labor on Apalachicola bay,
and with which he had sailed through
Indian pass in Franklin county, was
drowned in the gulf of Mexico, then
uncharted, somewhere out from Pen
sacola.
The core of Pensacola is Spanish
and in it are the seeds of the tpadi-
tions of Castle and Aragon. The sad,
inscrutable and august blood Of Spain
is commingled with the more sturdy
blood of the best English people in
the south and like the palace in the
Mediterranean owned by the Empress
Of Austria, Pensacola softly CLOVIS a

Pensacola An AriStOcrat

We took over the greater part

liberately left over the ocean was
the king. The most interesting

United States we would get back to a
king. He will not be an absolute
monarch. He will be social monarch
The mistake the French Revolutionists
made was in attributing to the French
mobiles and the French Crown the
grinding poverty of the masses of the
people. This poverty is probably a
result of the constitution of things. 1t
is hardly likely that it is due to kings
and princes, or orders of nobility. We
can no more abolish royalty and arts

for power and respect. These inStitu-
lions probably have pulled heavier
load up the hill of civilization than
any beast of burden other than relig-
ion.

Charles II you remember married a

Christmas Chimes In Many Chimes.
Christmas is always a season of
good wishes and loving kindness.
In America almost all little children
hang up their stockings on Christmas
eve. to be filed by kind old Santa
Claus. In Germany they make more
Of christmas than we do in America.
Everywhere the Christmas tree is
used.
If a family is too poor to have
whole tree. a single branch only will
stand In a conspicuous place, hung
with the few simple gifts.
A week before Christmas st. Nicho-
las visits the children to find out who
have been good enough to receive the
gifts the Christ Child will bring them
on Christmas eve.
1t is a very usual thing to see on a
German Christmas tree, way up in the
very topmost branch, an image or doll
representing the Christ Child, while
below are sometimes placed other
images representing angels with out
spread wings.
After the tree is lighted the family
gather round it and sing a Christmas
hymn:
In England almost every one who
can do so has q family party on
Christmas eve. Young and old join in
the games, many of which belong
especially to Christmas time.
From the ceiling of one of the rooms
a large bunch of mistletoe is hung. If
any little maid is caught standing
under it the one who catches her has
a right to take a kiss from her rosy
lips.
In Holland the little Dutch girl puts
her wooden shoe In the chimney place
ready for gifts. just as the little Amer
lean girl hangs up her stocking.
And so in some way all over the
Christian world on the eve Of the
twenty-f1fth day Of December the
birth Of our Lord Jesus Christ is ceie-
brated. Everywhere the Christmas
chimes are ringing out the message

the archbishop, whom he induced to
visit new coffee house which had
just been opened in the interests OF
temperance. Naturally the distin-
guished guest was served with a sam
pie cup of coffee. He tasted 1t, while
Canon Bagot and the manager waited
in complacent expectancy OF COM
mendation.
They were disappointed. The cup
was hardly set aside by the bishop.
who calculated, with prolonged and
unmistakable emphasis:
"A-bom-i-nable!"
Then the manager suddenly remem.
bered "Oh, your grace" he ex-
planned, "a box of matches fell into
the coffee tank this morning, and did
not think 1t right to waste all the con
tents of it."
IF your grace will come again, -

quickly, Il faithfully promise you a

BABYS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
bis body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch ard
burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began IN pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair. came out and finger
nails fell OF, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself Great scabs

but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and

lions is accomplished by some of the
shore and water birds that nest in the
islands of Boring sea and spend the
winter at Hawaii and Tanning island,

Inasmuch as some of these birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the surface
