The Ponce de Leon and the Alcazar

The man who delves into antiqui-
ties will find the most wonderful
land in America. When the CONT
nent was in process of formation,
clusters of shell islands, poking their
heads out of the sea, appeared here
and there on the present Florida
peninsula These clusters of islands
are known as the phosphate belt.
| They were composed of silica, sea
shells and carbonate of lime. There
was but little vegetation on them, for
the soil had no power of production.
| In the fullness of time, following the
| evolutionary period millions Of
| quadrupeds accumulated on these
| desolate isles. Where they came from
nobody knows. They deposited large
! amounts of bone and excreta, en-
riching the soil and stimula ting
plant life. Thousands of years pass
| ed, new islands grew out of the sea,
] adjacent land became cemented and
! through these processes the pensula
! of Florida was added to the CONT
nent.
Mr.. John H. Weleh, who wrote
most entertainingly on Florida, had
in his possession some years ago an
ancient coin, found several feet I'M
der the ground by a negro Iaborer
doing some excavating not far from
=, st. Augustine. No student of an
cient, or modern, coins, was ever
liable to trace this coin to its origin.
The conclusion was that it had lain

Noticed the petrified remains of a
prehistoric horse taken about 25
Years ago from the Manatee river.
;fBones of beasts and human beings
have been. found in one heap, far
under the ground at a number of
places in the state, leading to the
Esconculsion that thousands of years
Eago man and beast inhabited the
1 peninsula and were destroyed by
some mighty cataclysm. Condition
of these remains warrants reputable
/ scientists to figure their ages from
900 to 100000 years.
Down at Silver Springs, Fla.
there is a 'boneyard" from which
hundreds of bones have been dug
The vertebrae of whales, as much as
nineteen inches in diameter, have
been found there. In pond nearby
the petrified remains of a sea mons
ter nearly hundred feet long, are
plainly seen. Sometimes this wonder

mond in the sunlight. Scientists be-
lieve that the midshipmite of the
depths of the ocean and this monster
are of the same species.

into saloons with their attendant
evils. The truth is, more men are
being drawn in than are drifting
there. Many of the saloons OF to-
day are said to employ the bar
boosting system OF getting custom
ers. that is. men who are on the
lookout for young men, strangers,
etc. The victim is approached quite
casually. taken in town and told
where he can "meet the boys" and

Three Magic Words"

By Willis Whitford, Washburn, Wis.
Three of the most beautiful words
in the English language and as near
"nagic" as any. are Mother. Home
and Heaven. Note what force upon
the human heart has the word
Mother. If spoken by child, it has
sweet charm, for it speaks to one
| to whom they look in trust for pro-
lection; coming from older ones, it
betokens affection and great fiial
regard. Whom like mother would
cling to us, and by kind counsels and
precepts drive the clouds of dark
ness away. and cause peace to return
to our sad and hardened hearts? We
often have friends who rejoice with
US in time of sun shine or success,
but when troubles thicken around
us, they desert us when prosperity
gives place to adversely.
No voice is SC potent as mothers
ia retaining an erring and wrong
going child from the path of un-
Righteousness back to a life of
prosperity and happiness. Even a
lonely convict, forsakened by other
friends, finds pleasure in thinking of
the innocent childhood days when he
played upon his mothers knee. and
knows that he is ever watched over
by one who will forgive and forget;
however dark his sins may have
been there is always one ready to
welcome him to her heart.
How one often thinks what a
sweet name that word "Mother" is.
Almost at her will, she molds the
minds of hes children with her own
hands; to her alone belongs the
right of planting those seeds of love
and virtue in the hearts of her
children; those seeds, that when
properly planted. will bear the fruit
of earnest and useful lives, and fit
them for the enjoyment of the eternal
home ir heaven.
:'Home! is the dearest on this
great earth, and stamps its self on
ones memory, like indelible on
linen never comes off. We all
delight to dwell upon those happy
days of childhood spent at home,
even in after years when some of
us are many mics from our birth
place we look back with true
interest of our childhood days in
our mother home.
How many hearts are every day
gladdened by thought of home and
mother. the one place where amid
troubles and anxieties of their busy
lives, they can come and forget all
care, and let peace and JOY reign
supreme. and heed not their woes of
past life.
Heavenl Is the home just beyond
the grave. 1t awaits the storm
tossed mariner from the great sea of
life, those that realize more and
more of it's beauties as they
approach the golden gates and ex-
perience the vanity of earthly things.
In their home of heaven no sorrow
shall come, parting from loved ones
shall be no more, and their friends
that while on earth found many
cloud to dim their joys are again
united, never to be separated.
So life is, and the three words,
"Mother, Home and Heaven" can
truthfully be called the three magic
words. for it implies as ones only
happiness which comes through,
Mother Home and Heaven
