THE LOST LAND.

We question the Captains,
Each morning on the quay,
Good Masters have you ne'er a ship
That sails to Arcady?"
North and East and South and West
Our white sails take the wind,
But never port o. Already
May skipper touch or find"
Oh, lost land and lovely land across
the leagues of foam,
Across the sea, across the sand it's
we'd be winning home.
For that we chose to wander once In
quest of golden gain,
Is never ship upon the seas can take
us back again7
We question of the Merchants
Who trade by land and sea,
Nov pray you, sirs, whence go the
wares
You send to Arcady?"
''North and East and South and West
We Merchants buy and sell,
But where's the mart o. Already
Is more than man can tell"
Oh, lost land Of dear delights beyond
our wistful gaze
We lost the way in noisy nights, in
Jared and jangling days.
For that we kissed our love goodbye
TO follow Pleasures crew,
Is never path about the world can
lead US back to you?
We question of the Wise Men,
'fFair sirs, of courtesy,
Now show us where the star lies
That shines Ger Arcady?s
North and East and South and West
We call the stars by name,
But never land o. Already
Is lighted by their fame"
Oh, lost land of faith and truth, no
all our useless tears
May bring us back the dreams o.
youth across the crowded years
| Nor merchants in the market place
nor shippers on the sea,
Nor craft nor skill, nor wisdom, Leaf
back to Already.

months ago the national police are
reported to have numbered about
1000 men and officers, while today
the number of officers and men has
reached 1, 5000.
The national police already costs
the republic more than 81 ,250 900 in
gold year, and much opposition has
been heard in many quarters to the
recent heavy increase which greatly
adds to the expenses. Many of the
new officers and men are to be sta
toned in the two cities of Panama
and Colon.
1t is declared in government circles
that the new men are being added in
anticipation of the presidential and
national assembly election next year
It is pointed out that they will be

WORK PRESCRIBED FOR
CAMP FIRE GIRLS
nTTRTNC AITCTTST

Beauty of character, healthfulness
of body, love of country and an ap-
probation of the fundamental princi-
pies of the home or some of ideals
fostered by the Camp Fire Girls of
America and the following work map
ped out for the Pensacola girls dur
ing the month of August will show
that these ideals are being developed:
Homecraft.
Make bread in two ways.
Make two different kinds of cake.
Cook three common vegetables in
three different ways.
Make two kinds of soup, two with
milk and two with meat.
Prepare eggs in four different
ways. \
Housecraft.
Swim one mile in any six days, not
necessarily consecutive; swim any
four standard stkoes.
Campcraft.
Know the meaning of weather sig
mails, clouds, winds and temperature
Handcraft.
Make shirtwaist or a dress.
Make two articles of underwear
using hand, machine or both.
Identify twelve kinds of lace.
Tell a reasonable price for each.
Naturelore.
Identify and describe ten kinds Of
ferns.
Identify and describe fifteen kinds
of trees in summer.

every day for month.

against women workers that they can
not concentrate; therefore they need
lessly use up their nervous energy.
It is not, perhaps, so much that
they themselves can not bend their
mind to the case in point, but that
too many, from a false sense of po-
likeness, allow their time to be un-
duly monopolized by trivial or OUT
side things.
What is needed is to get the value
Of brevity ingrained in our con-
seriousness. We can not all, perhaps,
post placards of our creed, but we
can adopt it for working motto,
which is soon recognized.
It is not necessary to be rude in
our desire to be brief. It is perfect
ly possible with tact to curtail the
long-winded or to side-track bores
! without giving offense.
Do not permit people to nonopo-
lie you at the expense of your
duties. It matters not whether those
duties are owing to some one else
or if your time is at your own dis
posal.
It is quite as important that the
woman whose sphere is wholly do
nestle learns to economic her min
utes as if she were in factory, store
or office.
It is not enough to force brevity
upon others. We must practice it our
selves. Pottering, taking things leis-
urely, is luxury that few OF us can
afford. Everyone should learn to
hustle" thus only will we be able to
get time to rest in this age of rush
Get through with what is to be
done quickly. This does not mean
however, a speed of sighted details
or poor work. Train yourself tc
work, to read, to think, rapidly. Il
lis, after all, more or less a matter OF
habit. Some of the quickest workers
are also the best and quickest work
ers are also the best and surest.
above all, learn to talk briefly
Yor need not be monosyllable or /:
woman with little to say for yourself
It does preclude long-winded, many
detailed talks that to often los
| their point and always are tiresome
| We are coming to know the advan
tage of breyity these days. We lool
for the article of value in the jewel
ers' box, not in the bale.
The doctor who diagnoses quickly
the minister who hits out from tn,
shoulder for twenty minutes an,
stops, the business man or woman
who can accomplish the most in tn,
shortest time, the housekeeper who i
so systematized as not to be a drag
these are the men and women VIII,
have achieved success as the modern
world knows it.
In a word, those who would d.
things these days must learn to 'rb
brief"

SOMETHING WORTH
REMEMBERING.

In these days when even the multi
millionaires work, work, work, and
every one is busy with the affairs of
the world on his or her shoulders, ac-
cording to that persons testimony
and opinion, the following advice
from the pen of Helen Bruce Wal
lace is especially good.
Over the desk of a noted business
woman who has achieved signal sue
cess in her chosen profession hangs q
flaming, yet artistic, placssrd with
BE Brief" printed upon it in letters
that must catch the attention of the
most obtuse visitor to that office.
Those who wish to see her during
business hours have learned that
what they have to say must be said
quickly and to the point. Long pre-
ambles, beating about the bush, side
issues or idle talk on other subjects
than the one in question, meet with
scant favor.
It has sometimes been urged

Mammoth Cement Culvert.

Mr.. Logan Cline will complete this
week the largest brick and cement
culyert that has ever been built in the
county. 1t will take the place of the
first wooden bridge south of the iron
bridge across the Noxubee. The culvert
is go feet long and contains $50, 600
brick, The cost is about Is per cent.
more than a steel bridge would cost,
but it is calculated that a saving will
be made, in that it will never require a
new flooring or need to be reprinted
every year or two, as has been the case
of the steel bridges in the county. Mr.
Cline, the builder, says that unless it
is destroyed by an invading army with
dynamite or a seismic upheaval, the
culvert will be there when Gabriel
blows his trumpet.
Another thing that recommends 1t is
that it was built almost entirely by
homemade material and by home
labor, and all the profits are left in the
county.

Cold Day in August.

The weather this week deserves to go
down in history as furnishing the pro-
verbal cold day in August. 1t will be
remembered that a few days after the
first primary the thermometer fell to
50, which broke the record up to that
time, and is supposed to have been
caused by the defeat Of so many de.
serving candidates for office. Septem-
Der was ushered in a record-breaHlng
drop to IS. The Macon weather rec
ord do not extend back but a few years,
but the weather clerks in u surround
ing cities pronounce it the coolest
ever recorded. Frost is reported II
several of the western states. The
showers that fell last week would have
been of great benefit to cotton a few
years back, but now that the weevil nif
in the bloom all the fruit that the plant
puts on in August rains or an early
frost has little effect on the crop. II {
pastures, potatoes and peanuts were
much improved.

Trains Late.

Trains on the M. & 0. from the

ten days, mostly caused by high
waters in the northern division around

wrecks have occurred lately, n last
and one this week. There was no loss
of life in the wreck that occurred last
week, north of Crawford. Near Tibbee,
this week, when a freight train, com
posed of engine, four box cars and
caboose, turned over, the head brake
man, w. L.. Osteen, was instantly
killed by the engine turning over on
him. In his home in Meridian the e is
a wife and four little girls who are

ly after three o'clock and arrived in
Louisville before six. They went out
to the Springs" Wednesday morning
and returned home Wednesday after
noon, coming by way of Fear m Springs.
If roads were graded the same as
cotton, Mr.. Yates says it would take
all the grades to describe them.
Mr.. Van Cavett returned this week
from the Pacific coast, where he went
as a guest of the Union Central Life
Insurance Co., which company gener.
ously furnished all the necessaries for
a good time. 1t is a safe bet that moi
one of the hundred that composed the
party had any more of the good time
than Van. Mr.. Cavett stopped in Ok

nephew, Cavett Binion. who is sheriff
of that county.
Mr.. w. V. Rogers has just completed
a new silo on his dairy farm three
miles north of Macon, and he calcu-
lates that he will save a feed bill this
winter of $3.50 a month that he spent
last winter for bulls and meal. He now
has two silos filled, and with plenty Of
alfalfa, peanut and peavine hay, he
thinks his hull and meal bill will bt
entirely obliterated. When dairymer
can ship hulls and meal from this
country and make a profit on theil
products, what is to prevent US from
making dairying a success, with all the
feed right at home?
