only with the making Of American
history, but with the liberation of the
nations of the world.
One may picture to oneself what
this matron of the Revolution must
have been. Certainly a woman Of
patriotic fervor, else her husband
would hardly have been one to sign
this paper, the most important state
the history Of the world, the
flaming words of which light
ed the torch of liberty which
beams are burning away the shackles
of all nations, and liberating all men
from serfdom.
A woman of distinction she may
have been, for the last home which
was builded for her was chosen with
| care and so well protected from the
desolating march of time, as to have
well preserved her name, unto this
day, where once more men and wom-
en- of America are subscribing their
names on Gberty's scroll.
Had it not been that her house
of death was strongly builded, long
since her name would have been for
| gotten, for little care has been taken
! of this grave, which should have had
| every mark of respect paid it,
| and no effort has been made to pre-
! serve for future generations a record
! in which all Americans should take
| pride.
In the small enclosure which sur
| rounds this grave, weeds are growing
! high about the entablature on which
! is to be found in oId-fashioned
! phraseology the only present public
| record of this woman who was a
matron of the Revolution.
1t would seem to be a duty owed
to posterity to preserve, so far as
possible, the grave Of one VINO must
have borne an honorable part in the
struggle for independence. A south
ern woman, native of Georgia, this
duty might we'll lie with the men and
women of Pensacola; an American
! whose husband in all likelihood sacre-
feed much for his country, the pa.
triotic societies of the city might

At this time when patriotism means
more than lip service, and wher
every American is imbued with {
sense of obligation to his country
| and gratitude to the men and womeT
who sacrificed so much in the figh'
! for American independence, it is Ger
tainly most fitting that some mark
of respect be paid to the memor!

SonhOmore Picnic.

Sophomore Picnic.
The Sophomores spent a most de-
Gghtful day last Saturday at Bay
view, where thew enjoyed boating,
bathing and other outdoor sports.
Everybody had a glorious time, and
acquired a fine coat of sunburn.
The Freshmen, enthused, no doubt,
by the glowing account OF the Sophie
mores' picnic. entertained themselves
at Bayview Saturday May 25. Misses
Rex Todd and Irma DeSilva were the
cha2erones.
During the past week the fresh
men Science classes have made visits
to the. Weather BrL-au to find out
how Uncle Sam can tell them what
kind of weather to expect. The vari-

carefully explained, and proved most

A Trip to the Gas Works.
On Wednesday, May %, the (A-1)
! Chemistry class of Pensacola High
School took a trip to the gas works
so that they might learn how that
most valuable substance-gas-is
made. 1t is doubtful how much they
| learned about retorts super heaters,
! condensers, scrubbers, etc, but it is a
! known fact that a great moral effect
was produced. Now you who have
never been to the gas works may
! not understand, but listen, and I will
explain. The guide told them that
the machines had not been running
for several hours and that the temp
erature had dropped considerably
from normal 1880. However, to the
/ Chemistry class it seems like a TRIP
to the underworld, and 10, when the
retort, into which the coal is put, was
opened and they peeped into the fiery
furnace they Immediately compared
it with that one spoken of in the
Bible and involuntarily an angelic

went so far as to express verbally the
good that this great practical lessor

Lemons Beautiy!
Strain lemon Juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi-
tons. Wind-chafe, roughness, tan
and redness are warded off and those
tell-tale lines of care or age are
softened away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the rcst re
markable lomon skin ,beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Ev-
cry woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan, and is the ideal SIN softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any PHARMACY and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up q quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage il
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands, and see for yoursef.-Adv.

If I can dry one tear today,
Hold back one soul that wants to
-. stray,
Or show to one the Higher way,
My life will fuller be:
If I can speak one soothing word,
Inspire a talent, yet unstirred,
Or check some sentence, best unheard,
My life will fuller be.
If I can spare of my scant store
A mite to cheer some life more poor,
If some lost hope I can restore,
My life will fuller be.
If I can keep my thoughts all pure,
Ny words all kind, my deeds are sure
Some heart from even to allure,
And life will fuller be.
