nature has yet offered man. and
the best weapon against old age and

A Sad Story


-Four little mousies found their way
Into pantry one fine day.
Through a hole in the plaster wall
What do you think befell them all?
One jumped up to help himself
To cheese he smelt on an upper
shelf.
Alas, twas st IN a dreadful trap,
Which finished that mouse with one
quick snap.
The next was frightened and ran
and ran,
And fell down splash in big tin
pan.
Twas filled with milk to the very
brim;
Poor Mousie, that was the last of
The next one barely had time to
squeak,
When Pussy. quiet and SLY and
J sleek
Sprang from her seat upon the floor
/: That poor little mouse will squeak
j.. no more.
J
)
What became Of the other one?
He started off on lively run.
With dismal squeak, and woful
wall;
And that's the end of my mournful
tale.

For the Children y

bell to ring to call the children in.
The bell was sort of gong fast
ened to the outside of the building
and the master could ring it by
touching a knob in the wall near
his desk.
The master touched the knob
and waited. The children continued
their play every STRANGE" he
thought, "that they were so inter
ested in their play that they could
not hear the bell.
Then he pulled the bell again.
Still the children continued their
play.
He raised the window, clapped
his hands and pointed to the bell.
The children rushed into line
and waited for the second signal
The teacher pulled and pulled
but there was no sound from the
bell
Then he sent a boy to tell each
line to file in, and he sent another
boy for a carpenter to find out il
the bell cord was broken.
What do you suppose was the
matter with the bell? A little
sparrow had built its nest inside
and prevented the hammer from
striking against the bell.
The teacher asked the children
if the nest should be destroyed
There was loud chorus of mo
sir. No, SIR
So they got along without the
bell until the little birds were able
to f'y.
Every day the four hundred chill
dren would gather in the yard ant
look up at the nest.
When the little birds no longel
needed the nest one of the boy!
climbed ladder and cleared it a
way so that the bell might call tn,
children from play.

Under His Own Hat

Member of the Florida House
Of Representatives from DeSoto
county 1898, 1895, 1908, 1905.
Speaker of the House 1905.
For the entire legislative session
of 60 days there was not
sound of the gaVeI. A piece of
plank Is sometimes put on the
desk to prevent the desk from
being pounded to pieces. Usu-
ally 300 to 400 bills are left to
die on the calendar. When the
legislature adjourned every bill
on the calendar had been acted
upon. A record never made
before by any presiding officer
anywhere in the world. Some
people think he made good as
Speaker.
During the Spanish American
war, on June II, 1898, Albert
w. GIIchrlst resigned the POSI-
ton of Brieadler General Of
the Militia of Florida to become
private Co. C. 3rd U. S. Volun-
teer Infantry at salary OF
$3.50 a month. His regiment
served In Santiago province,
Cuba. He did not kill anybody
and nobody killed him. He
obtained the rank of Captain
and served as acting Major,
drawing a part of the time a
Majors pay. He was muster
ed out of the service as captain
at Macon, Ca, May z, 1899.
Some people think he made good
as a Soldier.
Albert w. Gilchrist served as
Governor of Florida from Janu-
ary, 1909, to January, 1918.
While Governor there was no
"power behind the throne
except that of right and justice.
He was the Governor accord
ing to the integrity of his heart
and according to the strength
of his right hand."-Governor,
"Heart within and God over
head" Some people think he
made good as governor.
Although the only child of one
of the four or five weaithiest
farmers, then called planters,
of Florida, yet as a result OF the
War of the Sixties, he commenc-
ed life working for the promise

wards worked in store in

stated that more new lines of rail
