THE LADY OF sHALtoTT

Last night at the Woman's Club the
members of the Wednesday Morning
Musicale rendered the pretty cantata,
The Lady of Shallott," most beauti-
fully. There were nearly twenty voic-
es in the chorus, and these ladies
sang excellently well. There was a
good crowd present to hear the can
tata, and it was very thoroughly en-
joyed. The members of this musical
organization invited the club mem
bers to be present, as well as num-
.ber of other friends, and the hall was
comfortably filled. The room was pref
tily decorated with water lilies, roses,
ferns and other flowers.
Preceding the cantata there was an
interesting descriptive lecture of this
pretty cantata which was so we'll
sung last night The solo parts were
sung by Mrs. L. t. Boyd, Miss Cecile
Downs and Miss Marguerite Porter.
The solos, as well as the choruses,
were very pretty.
Mrs E. Van Hood read this poem
by Tennyson most beautifully, her
descriptive reading being very splen-
did.d Miss Wartmann accompanie
the descriptive reading.
Mrs d. E. McIver is accompanist
and Miss Wartmann director of the
Wednesday Morning Musicale, and
they deserve great credit for their eff
forts in promoting and working so
industriously for this organization.
After the cantata punch and cake
were served by the members of the
musicale, and a pleasant half hour en-
sued.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR WORK

District President Albertson of
Gambler reports the new society there
doing well.
Good reports are coming from all
sections of the state, showing that the
efficiency campaign as a bottom-rock
reality is here in Florida. Several so
cieties have sent in the annual re-
ports for which blanks were sent
them by the state junior superintend-
ent and the secretary. 1t is hoped
that every society will report also
promptly to the district officers who
are asking for statistics. 1t seems
now as if we were to have a really
encouraging report for the state sec
retary to take to the convention, as
not only have there been several new
societies started, but wide-awake
folks are looking out for places to or
ganize more.
The little secretary left Inter
lachen on April 10th. Three sessions
of the combined Congregational As
sociation, with Mems Forward Move
ment convention, in Sanford, are to
be attended On the 18th, the next
stop will be Winter Garden, where
church members of former church
parish are to be visited. Gotha and
Ocoee young people have the closing
days of the secretary's vacation be-
fore the convention in Kissimmee,
May 3-5. She is anticipating meeting
loyal friends there, also making new
friendships
MIR. Linn and the Kissimmee people

COLUMBUS IN STATUARY

Gated on November 8, 1862, although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1S46. The inscription it bears
is: ITO Christopher Columbus, the
Fatherland." Spain, which country
failed the Genoese during his life
time,~has been more generous to his
memory, and here are many shafts
raised to record the greatness of his
deed
Perhaps the noblest monument yet
erected to the memory of Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona. 1t
was In this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort, Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage. 1t is most appropriate
situation. Much care was taken in
the selection of the design of the
Barcelona monument, and the result
is artistic in every sense of the
word.
In the new world nearly every
country has testified in recognition
of the deed of Columbus by the cree
ton of some character of monument.
From the magnificent effigy which
graces the center of Columbus circle
in New York to the simple shaft

ion. When the horse is on the track
in competition with others and urged
to his most extreme speed, he is
trained for the work and enjoys It.
A horse learns fairly soon that he Is
to try TO beat the other horse. Many
Of the horses that have gone the fast
est miles in the world have lived to
the ripest old ages. A long list of the
kings and queens Of the turf in their
day lived long lives of usefulness.
Many Of them have lived to be from
twenty-five to thirty-hve years Of age.
This demonstrates that 1t Is no pun
ishment to the horse worth while to
go his speed limit and test his endur-
ance to the utmost.
The grandstand at Hutchinson Is
by far the finest in the state. It's ca
pacity of 1000 is daily taxed to It's
utmost. It is filled with a bright
throng of people interested in the
magnificent races performed on the

the high class free attractions that
are given between the heats Of the
races. There is something doing all the

Was Stolen Shortly After the Well
Known Poem of Samuel Wood
worth Became Famous.

Not far from Boston is located the
we'll which inspired the familiar lines
of Samuel Woodwork to the "Old
Oaken Bucket" Every time the place
is visited many new traditions are
told concerning the famous old buck
ct, about which people have been
singing these many years. Having
drunk deep of the sparkling waters,
between whistled snatches Of the ia
mlliar refrain, how disconcerting It
was to have the charm broken by
learning that the original "Old
Oaken Bucket" was stolen shortly
after his well-known poem became
famous.
The youngest daughter of Samuel

in Berkeley, Cal, and she often used

the first discoverer. u is said to be
the original monument erected on
this continent to commemorate the
achievement Of Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
contemporaneous painting or likeness
Of Columbus extant For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his lineaments in marble have
been at great disadvantage.
AS matter of fact the accepted
likeness of the admiral is after the
manner Of being an idealistic con-
ception. All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shaven face from which
deep, expressive eyes look out under
a broad brow. The deep lines from
the nose to the corners of the mouth
are also characteristic of the popular
portraits of Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with a gray beard? Yet 1t is more
than probable that he wore one
when he planted the banner of
Spain on the shores of the New
World.
The few descriptions of the person
al appearance of the admiral which
we have from those who knew him
we'll tell us "he was man of sturdy
stature, rather above the average
height, of very ruddy complexion,
with freckles and red hair when he
was young. The latter soon turned
white, which was also the color of
his beard" Boards were the fashion
of his day in Spain, and it is easy to

us, that there is no need here to re-
count the many injustices which he
suffered at the hands of his contem-
poraries. The salient fact that he
was shorn of his honors and returned
laden with chains, proves conclusive
ly the cruel contempt with which the
fearless navigator was treated in his
own day. Time rectifies many mis-
Judgments, and 1t has done so in the
case of the discoverer Of America.
The wonder of his achievement is
universally recognized and the worlds,
both old and new, have testified in
many monuments to the respect and
honor in which they hold Columbus.
The custom Of preparing eflgies In
stone, SO that the names and achieve
ments of nations heroes may be
passed on to posterity, finds its or
lgin In most ancient times. 1t is but
natural that this custom should have
been followed in the case of Column
bus. Today we find statues erected
to the dAscoVerer in Italy, Spain and
France, and In nearly all of the
countries of the new w6rld.
At Genoa, which city claims the
honor Of being the birthplace of Co
iumbus, there has been erected a very
magnificent statue, which overlooks
