You can lead without being suspect

You can straighten the crooked

THE LAKE OF STARS.

WHEN all is lovely on the lake.
w No night-winds rudely pass,
Not even gentle breezes break
The waters perfect glass,
Afloat, alone, from your canoe
Look down and you will see
Reflected there the sky Of blue
And oil its canopy.
You will behold a thousand lights
Now near that were afar,
For only thus on perfect nights
The lake receives the star,
Seen only thus when perfect peace
Is on the quiet tide,
When all the winds that wander cease
And earth is satisfied.
But, IL breeze shall venture here,
Some tiny tempest blow
Your lake of stars will disappear
And all be dark below.
They are not blotted from the skies
BY just Il moments care
. We discouraged. lift your eyes,
For still the stars are there!

FAGG DENOUNCES
SOLICITORS AS FAKES

We regret that it is necessary again
to warn the good people of Florida not
TO give any money to anybody, any
where, who claims to be soliciting or
raising funds for the Children's Home
Society of Florida. Our society has
had no solicitors of any kind for over
ten years anywhere-and we have no
intentio nof having any. We raise all
our funds by direct letters of appeal,
and use no other method whatsoever.
Every few days in Jacksonville and
occasionally down the state we have
friends telephone or write US that
some one solicited them for funds for
our society, and sometimes we are in
formed when we send one "a letter of
appeal that our good friends have al
ready given TO some young lady or
gentleman who RECENTLY asked for
funds for our work.
If you are-one of those who have
responded to such an appeal. made by
any solicitor anywhere. claiming to
represent our society, you have been
duped, swindled, and your money has
not gene where you wanted it to-for
we have never received any money
from any solicitors anywhere.
If you want to be absolutely certain
that your contribution for the Chill
dren's Home Society of Florida
reaches us send your check or money
order to our treasurer, R. V. Coving-
ton, 428 St. James building, Jackson
vile, Fla, and do not give it to any
solicitor on the street or any other
place, for it will never reach our So
ciety in that way.
Please send your contribution by
checl. or a money order-for> it is
mighty dangerous to send dollar bill
or five or ten through the mails.
Only recently colored mail carrier
on our route was found stealing cur
rency that someone had sent by mail
to aid our great work. How much ne
had secured before he was found out,
no one knows.
Please remember, therefore. that we
have no solicitors of any kind any
where-and when you send in your
money please send it by check or
money order We have never before
in our twenty years of service needed
your help as badIy-as we do right now.
Win you send in your contribution to-
day? Marcus c. Fagg.
