Why Lawn Is Called Lawn

Years ago the Dutch exceIled all
other peoples in the bleached linens
they sent forth, That was in a time
OF course, when bieached linen was
considered luxury. The Dutch
gained their fame for this excellence
because they had a wonderful sys.
TEN of treating the muslin to make
1t white. To begin with, they treated
II to bleaches and acids of various
sorts, and then they placed it on
bleaching lawns, or greens, where it
lay at intervals from March to Sep
TENDER The white material thus
produced took the name of the lawns
wherein it was bleached-at least so
goes the story.

A Dream Is an Enthusiasm.

Even when a mans efforts are to
prove vain he is sustained in doing
them by a sort of dream or illusion.
If he could see the uselessness of the
end he proposes to himself he could
not go on, but his dream carries him
on unhesitatingly. Confidence is the
mother of action, and whatever Hs.
tains it is as important as the action
itself A dream is an enthusiasm. No
analysis can murder an enthusiasm
unless it is already sick. You can
not weaken vital instinct that has
not already become anaemic, by
anayzing it. If you have the vital in
stinct, the enthusiasm, the high hope
OF lge, which leads you to dream
dreams that are realizable, you will
not be afraid of looking at them front
and back.

Congressman Frank Clark in his Men

judgment the only real, practical hu-

is the gradual deportation of the negro

dealing with this problem, and that TO

Liberty Billings of New Hampshire who
came TO Flo ida to help in our "recon-

his lessons on citizenship, used TO tell
the negroes that "Jesus Christ was re-

them so as TO make personal use of their
newly acquired citizenship. Eliminate

The Honorable AIexandrovitch ST..
Clairovich Abrahams has done spoke. ~
He doesn't like the Green Fruit law
passed by the recent legislature at the
behest of the organized and independent
fruit growers of the state. These
growers, between 400 and 500 strong,
met in Tampa and urged upon the legis-
lature the passage of this law, and the
State Horticultural Society followed this
up at its DeLand meeting with another
unanimous endorsement. The Citrus
Exchange wanted the law, and that Or
ganization represents approximately 25
per cent OF the growers of the State.
The growers wanted the law. The
spectators did not want it. The legis-
lature catered 10 the wants of the grow
ers-the men who have their money in
the orange growing industry-not to The
middle men. OF course Alexandra
witch opposes it. Was any law ever en-
acted for the benefit OF the plain people
that he didn't oppose? If so we have

Illegibe handwriting may prove an

me half in joke and half in earnest
that when he came to London he was
obliged to found firm because he
wrote such a bad hand that no one
would take him for clerk" OF Lord
Goschen himself his biographer re-
marks: in his latter years he might
have spelled as he chose, for no one
could have affirmed with certainty
how many rs he might have put in
although At length his script be
came undecipherable even by Goschen
himself. He could not when speaking
in parliament make out what 1t was
that he had put on paper. and be thus

entirely his old practice of making
