teresting talks ever heard at one Of
these meetings and his remarks were
much enjoyed and made q good inn
preston upon the boys who heard
him.
Sheriff. paid The Journal some high
tributes He referred in the beginning
OF his address to the character and
general makeup OF the paper. calling
attention to the lack of anything
gavoring of yellow Journalism in the
paper-in the head lines. as well az In
the body OF the articles contained
therein. He also spoke of the clean
editorial department ard the attitude
assumed by the paper in not only
boosting Pensacola and West Florida
but having q higher aim-that OF
leading men to a broader and clearer
vision and endeavorfng to build up
higher character.
Referring to the advertising de-
partment OF The Journal, Mr.. Snerrlli
said that it is of the highest character
because IL does not carry the adds OF
a fake nature. He said in this con-
nectfon that whisl<ey ads were not the
worst form Of advertisements, as the
advertisements OF fake businesses and
fake doctors of fake medicines are as
bad. IL not worse, than whiskey adver-
ttsements. He complimetned highly
the conspicuous absence of all such ad-
vertisements in the paper.
He told the circulation boys that IN
representing such a paper they had
calling of the highest order, as they
were spreading intelligence and educat-
ing the people. He said in this man
ner they were doing the people SER
vice Just as certainly as were the
preachers and educators OF the country.
The speaker closed by reminding the
boys that their work was sacred. He
said that formerly the world regarded
people as divided into two classes.
secular and sacred, and considered all
work as belonging under one OF these
heads, but that now all work that Is
for the upbuildinE of mankind Is re-
garded as sacred. He used number OF
illustrations to emphasize his meaning
and at the close of his remarks It was
apparent that he had made splendid
impression.

Captivating Caps.

The captivating London cap is one
of the details which no bride should
think of emitting from her trousseau.
And it will be even more desirable il
made to suit the personality of its
wearer. She has only to fix on any
period or nationality that she pleases
and to modify the cap Of the epoch to
her own pretty features.
Mob caps are little out Of date. but
some girls may prefer a dainty frilled
mob with flowers and ribbons to one
of the newer models, which are rath-
er like cottage bonIets, the hood part
made of spotted muslin, the accordion
pleated or goffered frill and curtain
being held in place by a piping
through the middle and edged with
Valenciennes.
Neither gofferings nor pleatings,
however, are facile to redress. and
so we would command rather a bon
net of point d'esprit with lace frill
and curtain, pleated band OF green
or blue satin across the front, and
little group of pink satin roses at each
ear.
