An Afflicted Philosopher

There is in this city young man
wlo has been confined to his, room
for six years, having no use Of his
lower limbs. Aside from being able
to drag himself to and from the bed
and his rolling chair he is as help
less as bed ridden invalid, except
That he has good use Of his hands and
arms, being able to feed himself al
tend to his bath and keep the fire."
Besides the afflictiOn of not being able
to walk or even stand, he suffers from
a complication of complaints atten-
dant upon one in such a condition.
Notwithstanding this state of affairs.
in re life of the afflicted sufferer
(and this is wiz ra9ntioI is made)
Re is as bright aLdt cheerful as man
in the best of health The writer las
visited him numbers; of times and has:
always found him In a good humor,
no matter how great his suffering at
the time. Others say the same thing
OF him. He never murmers or com
plains. He is true philosopher, TAX
ing his condition resignedly, and smil-
Jag through his pains as he answers
that ''it could be worse" or "it is
,:orse with others" The splendid ex-
nibition of such sublime courage ought
to shame the ungrateful wretch who,
in the enjoyment of the fullest health,
erumbles and complains Of little
bad luck" or something. Despite
the hard trial of having to stay il bed
or !oll about the room in chair
(for six long years. the subject OF
this sketch is even cheerful and OPP
timistic IN his conversation, although
fe says he has no hope Of ever get
ting we'll This is courage of the
very highest and grandest order.
Hope is what sustains and helps.
Without hope it is awful But here
is a man who has lost his hope of get
ting better, yet is bright and cheerful
in mis-. talk and conversation. He is
a great reader, has good memory,
AID his mind is stored with knowledge
and valuable information Books,
magazines and newspapers are mis-
daily companions. He is posted on
current wants, and through his visit
/ ing friends keeps up with the talk Of
the town. 1t is pleasure to visit
him although it is sad to think of him
in hi safflicted and suffering condition.
No doubt he has his times of depres-
sion and gloom, the midnight hours
Of dark, deep and oppressive silence,
in the stiffness of solitude, but one
never knows it, for be the hour what
it may,of sleeping night or waking
day, he is the same as when last seen,

him, beautiful lesson of life And

There seems to be some confusion
about the grades from which pupils
will enter the contests on fair and
field day. In reading, for instance,
one pupil may enter from first grade,
one from second grade, one from third
and fourth grades and one from fifth
grade and above, so no school could
have more than four reading contest
ants
Tle misunderstanding came from
some misstatement of mine; so I
want to make clear the plan THAT has
always been agreed upon by the gen
eraI committee.

Rev. and Mrs. Pugh
Pounded" Last Night

Yesterday evening about Z O'Clock
Lquite number of the members OF
PGrace Lutheran church met by pre-
Fvious appointment and proceeded
from the church building to the resi-
dence of Rev. w. E. Pugh, the pop
ular pastor, on East Orange street,
and surprised him and his estimable
wife with regular old-fashioned
g"pounding." They loaded the din
ing table with nice pantry goods
and other things suitable for the &C.
casion and gave Mr.. Pugh to under
stand that they were making him a
little present in testimony of their
warm appreciation of him as a pas
tor and a man and the good work
he had done for the church in this
city during the past year. Mr..
Pugh was deeply gratified at the
good wishes so kindly expressed, as
well as the substantial addition to
the larder, and made a pleasant
little informal address in behalf of
himself and Mrs. Pugh, full of en-
'couraging words for the future of
Grace Lutheran church and urging
the members to renewed zeal to help
increase its influence in Lakeland.
The occasion was a most pleasant
one, much enjoyed by all and helped
to strengthen the ties of warm es-
TEEN and respect already existing be-
tween this excellent minister and
his people.
