A pretty fancy which is more than
Of the hour consists In grouping fiow-
ers according to color. We have
found that the best effect is obtained
by massing flowers Of certain kind.
Likewise the unity of color gives
an effect which is most pleasing. and
with care and selection one may have
q constant succession Of any desired
color from early spring until late in
fall.
The scheme appeals with special
force to the suburban home, where
the flower garden is never cramped-
or at least should not be. Try and
arrange the flowers SO that the screen
that divides the front yard from the
back be on one side pink and the
other white.

The principal reason the average

The result is, says Mr.. Salmon, that

Jacksonville. Fla.-The State Of
Florida pays out more money per
capita for the support Of dependent
ex-Confederate soldiers than any 9TH
or Southern State. This fact should
be sufficient TO convince ex-Confeder-
ates everywhere that when they and
their descendants visit Jacksonville
on the occasion Of the Gath annual
reunion Of the United Confederate
Veterans Association that they will
be in the hands OF their friends. The
reunion win be held May 6, Z, s.
The handsome total OF 100000 per
annum is being paid by the state for
support Of ex-C0nfederate pensioners

each person on the pension list, 40
cording to the latest report Of the
State Board Of Pensions, Ia s121.S5
while the average paid 20 old soldiers
is $122.3O. Widows of Confederate
soldiers draw an average OF 1920 per
aRnum. Since the report from which
these figures are taken was made, the
Legislature has passed still more lib
eral pension law, which will authorize
additional payments OF approximately
$4,000 year, making the total $780,
600 per annum paid to Confederate
pensioners by the state.
There are 2.6aS soldier pensioners
on the rolls Of the state and 2227
widows Of Confederates, making a to-
tai Of 1880. The fund to support this
pension rob h raised by tax Of four
mills on the assessed property OF the
taxpayer.
Florida is not only caring for the
living but the memory Of the dead Is
also kept green. Throughout the state
handsome Confederate monuments
have been. erected by both public and

by historians that in one village, not
far removed from Jacksonville, he
found 300 scalps of men. women and
children. many OF them still fresh,
hanging on war pole. Gen. Jackson
knew that the Spaniards were in sym
patty with the Indians in their attacks
on American settlers. After cleaning
up a number Of Indian villages he cap
tured the Spanish post Of st. Marks.
For this act he was severely censured
by his government However, the
naked fact is that "Old Hickory was
more courageous than the men who
were conducting the affairs Of state

Early In May, 1878, Gen Jackson
closed his campaign against the Sem
inoles In East Florida. He had com
pletely broken their power and run
them out Of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
Gen. Jackson obtained satisfactory ev-
idence that Spanish officers at Pensar
cola were liz sympathy with the In
dams. He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them lesson.
The Spanish governor OF West Florida,
learning OF Gen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him written protest against his
invasion. This protest Is now on ale
among the Jackson documents In
charge OF the Tennessee Historical
Society at Nashville. The protest was
delivered 10 Gen. Jackson near Penss-
