COW, MULE AND
AUTOMOBILE
BURNED IN FIRE
LAST NIGHT

The fire department was called
out at about o'clock this morning,
the alarm being sent in from the
Lakeland Stock Farm, owned by Mr..
H. E. Cowden, on Lake Parker, the
barn having caught fire. The build
ing was completely destroyed and
with it cow, mule, Buick automo-
bile, silo and all the feed on hand
were burned. The loss is estimated
at $1,000 with no insurance.
The fire had good start when
first discovered. and it was then too
late to rescue the animals and auto
bile. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
Being two miles in the country,
and the location not having been
properly given in, the fire depart
ment was unable to reach the scene
in time to render assistance.

Miss Jewel Swindell, one of Lake
lands charming young musicians,
gave her graduating piano recital
last Friday evening at Columbia
College, Lake City.
This was one of the most success
full performances of its kind ever
rendered at this institution.
Miss Swindell is an unusually tai
ented musician and her selections
which were perfectly rendered
showed much ability, technique and
splendid training.
The program which was brilliant
one was given without notes and it
is needless to say that both Miss
Swindell and Miss Schell, with whom
the recital was in joint, acquitted
themselves creditably and will
doubtless be an honor to the institu-
tion in after life.
The program rendered was as fol-
lows:

There Is no stronger proof of mans
evolution than his adaptabllity-his
power Of attainment through the mate
rial at hand, however elementary.
From the very beginning. the necessi-
ties Of his new life called to Gerry's
dormant instincts. For the first week
he would not hear. The past loosens
its tendrils slowly. He was listless
and loafed restlessly about the house.
Tia two darkies worked for his WELL
being, the two white women waited on
him hand and foot. At first 1t was
lulling; then 1t was wearying. He be-
gan to wander from the house.
But the week had not been alto
gether lost. He had gathered desul-
tory but primitive information. Occa-
sional re-occurring words began to be
more than mere sounds. The girls
name was Margarita. The wrinkled
Maria. The two darkies were linger-
ing relics Of slave days. They had
been born here. They had gone with
emancipation. but they had come
back. The name of the plantation was
Fazenda Flores. To them it was the
world. They had wandered out of 1t
hand in hand with liberty but they had
come back because freedom was here.
They needed someone to serve. Mar
garita had long been an orphan. The
place was hers and had once been rich.
But before her day water had become
scarce. The place was uncared for
and had fallen into its present ruin.
1t was well, she said, for II she had
been rich suitors would have searched
her out long since. She was eighteen.
She had been woman for years!
These things, some Of them distinct.
some only half-formed impressions, ran
in Gerry's head as he wandered over
the fazenda. 1t had once been rich,
why was it not rich now? Fertility
sprang to his view on every side save

Ore which assays 1,19O.40 in gold
per ton, estimated value $2S,8OO, has
been opened in the Hanson and Wal
thers lease at raise No. 15, west, in

The quartz was found on the hanging
wall of the lode and is two feet in
width, the quartz being heavily i'm
pregnated with visible. finely decimat-
ed wire and flake gold. Some has been
panned and properly weighed, giving
$50 ounces per ton. An assay of the
second class resulted in $3.50 ounces
per ton.

one. This was the gentle slope away
from the river and behind the house.
Even here he discovered hummocks in
alignment, vague traces of the careful
tllling Of another time. He climbed
the slope till he came to depression
running parallel to the river 1t made
line and beyond that line was desert
untamed. Cactus and thorn dotted its
barren soil. Gerry followed the de-
preston down to its end, then turned
back and followed 1t up. 1t wandered
among rocks and hillocks to n natural
cleft in the banks of the great river.
He climbed point of rock and
gazed around him. Far down to the
left cleaned the old plantation house
In the midst of its waste lands. His
eye followed the long depression and
he began to understand many things.
The ruin was young ruin like him
self. In itself 1t contained the seeds
OF rejuvenescence. 1t had been robbed
OF its talisman and its talisman was
water. Tons of water flowed past it
and left 1t thlrsting for drops. Irrlga-
tion is coeval with the birth OF civiliza-
ton. 1t had been here in this depres-
sion, lived. and passed away before he
and the girl were born. He tried to
explain to her what once had been, but
she shrugged her shoulders. She was
not interested; she did not understand.

house. Gerry was silent and thought
ful. He saw vision Of what Fazenda

-You'n never grow old. s,r.- said

.You'n never grow old. sir" said
A.an.
"Oldw said the captain. "Huh, !
grew old before you were born" The
captain spoke with pride. He straight
ened his bullet head and poised tot
of whisky with steady hand. what
did I tell your" he said into space.
"How's that, sir?"
'What did I tell you." repeated the
captain swinging around his eyes,
"about women?"
Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-
tort for the old man. He sat sullenly
silent.
The captain colored too. "That's
right" he said with surprising touch
Of choler. "Sulk. Every badly broken
colt sulks at the grip of the bit. What
you need. young man, is a touch Of
the whip and you're going to get it."
And then the old man revealed a
surprising knowledge of words that
could lash. At first Alan was indif-
ferent, then amazed, and finally recog-
nized himself beaten at his own game.
He came out Of that interview thor
oughly chastened and with an alto
gether new respect for the old captain
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least, and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard but, as he
pointed out to Alan, 1t was a code of
honor. 1t played game within rules
He further remarked that the hawk
was a bird of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
ened him to a realization of where he
stood. Many man, propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere of a narrow
world, has passed merciless judgment
on such sins as Alan's-metal, un-
proved, sitting in judgment over the
bar that twists in the flame. But the
captain was not one Of the worlds
confident army Of the untested. He
had roamed the high seas of pleasure
as we'll as the ocean wave. Alan would
have struck back at a saint but he
took chastisement from the old sinner
with good grace.

himself at the downtown Offices of ].
