GRAPEFRUIT JUICE BISCUIT

Leesburg Commercial-The latest
is the grapefruit juice biscuit. Some
where we read about grapefruit juice
taking the place of buttermilk or
clabber in making waffles and bis
cults. 1t said to use two-thirds as
much clear juice as you had been
using of buttermilk. Not being an
artist in the line of biscuit making
at least we reckon we are not, for
We have never tried-we carried
the information as a choice morsel
to our wife. She laughed. Now if
any good lady who chances to read
this will take chance sometime
when the men folk are all gone, and
see if this little theory works out,
and if it does, write us about it, we
will gladly publish the recipe and
make her famous. If it fails-we'll
all keep still.

L. H. Stanton recently won a,prize
from Lippincott's magazine offered
for the best and shortest story. The
main point, in making awards, was
brevity but there also had to be
something to the story. Mr.. Stanton
sent in his contribution and received
81 which makes his pay for story
writing almost as high as the most
famous writers. since he received 25
cents a word for what he wrote.
His story contained just four words,
and was as follows:
Wired, hired;tire fired"
The nearest cmpetitor was man
who used six words to tell his story.
It reminds the Rambler of oliver
Wendell Holmes brief description of
ladies' tea. 1t was just this:
"Giggle, gable, gobble and git"

COMING TO FLORIDA, THE
LAND OF CONFINEMENT

They are coming from the deserts
of the dim and dusty East, where to
raise stunted turnip is the propos-
al of a feast, where the farms are
made of gravel, and they pillow with
dynamite, where the festive chattel
mortgage sings its dirges day and
night; they are coming in their
wagons, they are coming on the
train, they are coming from the re-
gions where they struggled long in
vain; they are coming from thehall;
they are coming to old Florida
where there's plenty for them all.
Where you needn't dig potatoes
with a sabre or dirk, where, when
rain is badly needed, then the rain
gets in its work; where the rivers
moan and murmur on their journey
to the sea, where the breezes tackle
corn stalks, big as fence posts, on
the lea, where the savage lately wan
dered in his search for human hair,
where his hoarse and bowling war
cry fioated on the summer air;
where a hundred braves would an
swer to the chieftain's battle call,
they are coming to old Florida, where
there's plenty for them all
Where the savage used to wander,
building shell mounds in the air,
now the grower takes his products to
nearest country fair, and the or
ange's daily growing where the
greasy wigwam stood, where
he burned the wailing captive, now
the poultry scratch for food; and
the people who are coming to this
pleasantest of chimes, show a happy
knack of keeping with the progress
of the times; they will find a coun-
try beaming from the fall time to
the spring, when they land up in old
Florida, where there's plenty for
them all Clearwater Sun.

INGERS0LL'S TRIBUTE
TO WOMEN

1t takes a hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. | not only admire
women as the most beautiful object
ever created, but | reverence her as
the redeemed glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all virtues, the plague
of all perfect qualities of heart and
head. 1t is because women are so
much better than men that their
faults are considered greater. The
one thing in this world that's con-
slant, the peak that rises above the
clouds, the one window in which the
light burns forever, the one star that
the darkness cannot quench, is wom-
ans love. 1t rises to the greatest
heights, it sinks to the lowest
depths, it forgives the most cruel in
juries. A woman's love is the per-
fume of the earth. This is the real
love that subdues the earth; the love
that has wrought all miracles of
art; that gives us music all the way
from the cradle song to the grand
closing symphony that bears the
soul away on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweeter
than life and stronger than death.

WE NEVER DID

You may learn the art gymnastic,
Master every turn fantastic,
Till your muscles are as plastic
AS an eel;
You may execute a fipfiop,
From a high trapeze or housetop,
With an airy grace that makes folks
stop
And squeal;
But with all your long devotion
To the poetry of motion,
Have you even got a notion
You reveal
Anything SO acrobatic,
So eXquisitely erratic,
AS a slide upon a fresh ba-
mana peel?

Dear reader, when the naughty
colored man who has been strictly
invisible throughout your trip comes
around just before you leave the
train and, with far-off look in his
dark eyes. condescends to take your
quarter, rejoice and be glad, because
You are contributing to the "uplift."
One of the main gazabos of the Pull
man company deposed before an in
vestigating committee that 1.-THE one
element in the uplift of the colored
race was its service with the Pull

benevolence that is noble and

thing else-including the uplift-it

THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES

There are but two classes of mer-
chants-those who advertise, and
those who do not. The man who
advertises has the best of the deal.
He keeps his wares before the public
he keeps his wars before the public
and he keeps their quality upper
most in the public mind. People
talk about a man who advertises,
because they know he has something
worth advertising-or he wouldn't
advertise.
