We know now where so many of
our esteemed contemporaries are OBJ
tanning their classy pictures of the
camp of the Florida troops at Black
Point. They are pictures of Camp
Whitman for the New York guards
men at Beekman in that state. The
tents of the Florida guardsmen are in
a forest, while those of troops at
Camp Whitman are out in the fields.
The only similarity is in the tents.
Some Florida papers obtain the cuts
from the International Film service,
cut the labs off and run them as pic
lures of the camp at Black Point.

EARLY TOMORROW

Although tomorrow is the fourth,

ever; and we will try to have it on
the streets by o'clock.

The men who offered their services
to the "home guard" did not do so
because they were frightened, but be-
cause they thought there was pos
sibility of their services being needed.
Perhaps there will be. At any rate,
it's not good taste to make fun of
men who are willing to do the COM
munity service without being paid
for it. They are not any too plenti-
full.

TWIN BORDER TOWNS.
They Sit Right on the Line That Sepa-
 rates Us From Mexico.

Along the lengthy frontier separating this country from Mexico. which ex- tends from the Pacific ocean to the gulf. there are seven or eight towns which sit right upon the line.
 Half of Q ch of these towns is Amer ican. the other half Mexican. Some times the Rio Grande ,uts them ill the two halves. sometimes only shallow arroyo and sonnet. mes nothing at all but the imaginary mathematical line. These are what call the twin towns.
 El PasO has for its twin JuareZ. Douglas has Agua prieta. Presidio is sister to Ojinasa. Eagle Pass to Pie dras NegraS. Brownsville to Mata- moros, and Laredo. Naco and Nogales United States. are one with NueVo Laredo, Naco and Nogales. Mexico.
 Usually the American town is larger and of more importance than the Mex ican town. It is bigger, more hustling cleaner, ever so much more enterpris- ing. But the little salamander sister across the way, indolent in the golden dust and the sun, achieves in some mysterious way and without effort a beauty, color and grace foreign perhaps for always, to the big hustler James Hopper in Golfers Weekly.

OLD TIME HARVESTS.
4 Reminder of the Days When You
 Were . Boy on the Farm.

A ftOtUtn08F VI SUv S&y~
 Were . Boy on the Farm.
 If you were a boy on the farm you will recall wildly what harvest meant to you, for you had to carry water, and harvest hands were a thirsty set, nor did they seem to care how far 1t was to the spring or how badly chapped your feet.
 When not carrying water you were busy gathering sheaves, which was about the hardest work in sight, or at least you thought 1t was.
 When dinner came you would be sc hungry that there did not seem to be enough on the table to satisfy you, to say nothing of the hungry bunch. In this you would be somewhat disap pointed. for there was always enough for all.
 Then for an hours rest, during which the men would sprawl out in the shade of tree or on the porch in the great est comfort. And maybe you would have found good place to rest your weary bones and about to settle into i: when one of the cradlers would come along with 8 leaky bucket in one hand and a dull scythe in the other and or der you to come along and turn the grindstone while you were resting.
 Didn't it seem that they had spite at boy in harvest time on the farm?- Erasmus Wilson in Pittsburgh Ga Zette- Times.

Louise. an:.iotsiy TstH,ing heard next ripple of laughter that seemed to be Mary's delighted echo of burst at the other end of the line, then: sIm so glad, MT. Brown: We'll be so honored! It was a quaking heart that Louise carried about the next morning, though she tried to be as gay as Mary seem- ed. Mary certainly was gay, and the children were beside themselves with ioy. Little Mrs. Davis was in nut ter between gladness and tears ana gratitude Louise felt that it would all be spoiled soon, and, try as she would, she could not help dreading the hour of the arrival of the hard hearted father.
 Before he came Mary took the pretty lady and her children into Mrs. Stan ley's parlor and arranged them in wondering group.
 "I want you to be just company now. while we set the table and get the dinner on. And when that old gentleman-a sort of relative of mine arrives, want you, please, to enter tain him. He fairly loves children, and he loves to have ladies look | pretty. That's the reason I'm putting you in a group with the sunshine on your gold heads and that blue curtain behind you"
 l The bell rang, and Louise darted away to wait and tremble behind the door at the end of the hall, while Mary let in the old gentleman. He game, a proud, erect, irascible, kindly faced old fellow, as Louise saw through the crack, and Mary cast her self upon him.
 ''There's one thing want to tell you, MT. Brown" she breathed. 'The lady's husband died a short time ago, and she's awfully sad, so please try to avoid unpleasant topics. Don't men tion her husband, or money, because she's lost hers and is awfully poor. though she used to be rich She's love ly-perfectly lovely-but don't talk about unpleasant things"
 The old gentleman stared at her in lamazement. and then he pinched her cheek.
 You kind hearted pussw he said. I"We'n try not to mention the lady'S money"
 So Mary pulled the portiere aside and beckoned the old gentleman to look. He bent forward with wonder ing, uuizzical smile and put his eye to the crack. Then he started and turned upon Mary face white and terrible Louise saw her shrink suddenly.
 But it was not anger that turned the old mans face so white.
 My Aiary! he cried strangely And you say Toms dead-and lost his money? Of course he would, hang himr'
 And the old gentleman shot through the portieres.
 There was a startled cry from hi
