MORAL: The Pioneer must ever
brave Hardships.
When Land Was Cheap.

Before the railroads had penetrated
South Florida, land was very cheap,
and passed from one to another for
a mere song, as the saying is. At
one time an old Florida cracker went
before a notary to make an affidavit,
and after the paper had been prepared
asked what the fee was.
"oh, about quarter" replied the
notary indifferently.
my gracious! amt that purity
steep?" asked the cracker.
mo: that's the least charge. Usu-
ally we get half"
The cracker went away, and the
next day returned with deed to n
quarter section. He handed 1t to
the notary who read it over care
fully.
Il meant twenty-five cents" said
he. passing the deed back to the
cracker.-Judge.

sea food. The cool spell we are ex-
periencing has made the sale large.
According, to the growers of the lit.

and cheap this year. This is due TO
the fact that for years the best oys-

It's said that the crop this year will

Famous Dinner Speech

After-dinner speeches in our day
are famed for wit, for nicely and
brilliancy, and they are soon forgot
ten or spoken of as ''frills," says the
Christian Herald. But the words of
Jesus at the Pharisees' dinner were
given with grace and dignity beyond
compare. Not one syllable has ever
been forgotten, or ever can be, for
His words belong TO eternity. Jesus
connected His theme with the dinner
and the place where they had eaten
it. That was wise, because the people
who listened would be impressed
through the law of association. He
reminded them that as they came in,
they had selected the best places at
the table, leaving the least desirable
ones for those who should come after.
In doing this they showed that they
thought too much of themselves
that they were coneeited. And he
told them il was in better form TO
take the poorer seats, and be invited
! TO take the better ones if the master
/ of the feast should choose to ask
! them 1t was a well-deserved rebuke,
/ but no doubt IL was courteously given,
| and it was ended with the assurance
I that "Whosover hunbleth himself
! shall be exalted" That lesson in
courtesy is just as applicable today
/ 800 years after it was spoken-and
/ it has been in force during all the
| intervening years, and will never go
out of date.

SOME OF THE NEWEST FROCKS SHOW THE DRAPERY
DRAWN To THE RACK

puffed drapery on the back of the
skirt is held in place with bands of
chiffon roses and the oVerskirt shows
the latest tendency to hike up in
back. The simplicity of the bodice
is another style detail of the season.
This is a charming design for after
noon wear, summer dances. etc, and
may be made up in any of the soft
silks or cottons, quite as effectively
as in taffetas.
Size SO, requires yards of S6-inch
material.
The small frock shown in S409,
shows how charmingly the pannier
may be applied to childrens dresses
without appearing TOO "fussy." A
Japanese collar is another grown
up" feature which may be used APP
propriately
A Powered cotton crepe fashions
this little dress with trimming bands
of plain white voile. For a child OF
twelve, the dress requires 25s yards
of 36-inch material. Taffetas is one
of the few silks considered good taste
for the little maid; it could be used
here very effectively if the dress were
intended for "dress-up' occasions.

Harold then took a car to White

found the number he was locking for.
1t was a dilapidated house. The

At the mention of a parcel the old

The old man then took a large bot

greatest satisfaction.
With trembling hands the old man

there on the table lay a mass of small
stones which glittered in the dim

they were diamonds
The old man stared at. the stones
as If in a trance.

and ran his fingers through the
stones.
The whiskey which he had drunk
seemed to act upon his system, for

For a while Harold stood and look

Some strange power seemed to hold

had read in the paper the previous
day caused him to jump out of his

Henry, the handy man, tilted his
old hat to the back of the head,
then pushed it forward. Then he
removed it and threw it on the hay.
He and the boys were up in the hay
loft, willing away a summer after
noon. and he promised to tell the
boys a story. Davie had insisted
upon hearing the tale of the time
Henry had lost a part of his little
finger. This embarrassed Henry.
Are you sure you want that

One of the newest style notes for
midsummer and early fall blouses

This design. No. $3.50 has a set-in
sleeve, high haring collar, and small
revers. otherwise it is perfectly plain
and an excellent design for sporting

OILY Hair and Skin

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please give me a remedy
for gray hair? l am thirty years
old, and my hair is almost white.
My hair is very thin. l would like
to get something that would make
1t thick and dark again. My face
is getting very oily. l would like
to know what would be good for it.
MRS. w. S.
Sage tea is said to be an excellent
tonic and restorer for gray hair,
but | doubt its efficacy in your case,
If your locks are nearly white.
However, l will give you the
formula.
Sage Tea-Put one ounce each of
sage and green tea in an agate or
porcelainl Lined kettle, cover with a
quart and a pint of boiling water.
Cover tightly and let simmer until
the liquid is reduced one-third. Let
it stand in the kettle for twenty
four hours, then strain and bottle.
Wet the hair with the lotion every
night and massage we'll into the
roots. Care should be taken to dry
the hair thoroughly; otherwise the
pillow will be stained.
Do not expect the gray hairs to
turn to their original color over
night. The process will be gradual
Here is a tonic that has been
recommended for oily hair; Witch
hazel. two ounces; alcohol, two
ounces; distilled water, one ounce;
resorcin, forty grains. Rub this
thoroughly into the scalp every
night. Shampoo the hair every
three weeks with liquid green soap,
rinsing thoroughly, first in hot ana
then in cool water.
IL your skin is oily do not use hot
water on it. Use warm water and
a pure soap, or, better still, use
cleansing powder, The following is
said TO be very good:
One ounce bicarbonate of soda,
half an ounce of powdered orrls
root and half a dram of powdered
spermaceti. Mingle thoroughly
Keep dry. To use, the skin is
moistened before the powder is rub
bed on. This compound Is said to
be slightly drying and decidedly
cleansing.
Using a little benzoin in the water
in which you battle Gf you do not
care for the POWDER, will help.

The question was asked by a we'll

The shoes soon took on brilliant

inserted his hand into his pocket and
extracted a 81 bill. Then once more
he looked at the boy, and seemed
satisfied.
Harold, for that was the boy

ready to collect.

HIS LOOKS.

once said of a nouveau richie:
Though his clothes come from
London, he can't look elegant. An
adventure that befell him recently
will show you how he looks.
He had decided to put his men
servants in knee breeches and silk
stockings So he visited a Fifth ave-
nue. tailor and went over lot OF
gorgeous liveries.
This suits me the best he said,
laying his hand on red and yellow
livery, red coat, yellow plush breeches
and white silk stockings. This suits
me the best, but it's so much dearer
than the others
Take it, then said the salesman.
What's the odds if it is dearer? The
