and that it had tracked its mate to the
house and gone in searching for it. I
was so thankful the snake had not bit
ten either of my three children, who
had been playing about the bed and
eating apples from a pile between the
large bed and their own trundle bed.
I read in an Atlanta paper some
years ago, of a mother, whose three
chi’dren had been bitten and killed by
a rattler that had eaten the young
chickens of a hatching hen, whose nest
was under the house. The little chil
dren (their mother was washing down
at the spring) heard the hen making a
noise and raising one of the planks of
the floor one of them put his hand
down to the nest, as he had often
done. The snake bit him, he thought
it was the hen that had pecked him;
he drew back his arm and his little
brother thrust his hand down to the
nest and was bitten. The little sister
did the same thing. All three were bit
ten by the rattler, and all died. It was
a dreadful thing for the poor mother.

THE VALUE OF A FRIENDLY MES
SAGE.
I can think of nothing that will give
me more pleasure than writing to our
dear Household and our beloved Ma
ter. I have found no one so good, so
bright, so kind and helpful as she.
Pardon me, dear Mater, but I must
tell the Household friends how kind
you are to shut-ins. I have known
other women editors of departments,
who refused to publish letters from
those of their readers who were af
flicted, saying these letters were “too
personal.”
Os course they were personal in a
great measure. Not being active mem
bers of the great busy world, we could
not tell of its activities and interests.
We had only one narrow room and our
hearts hungering for sympathy and en
couragement. It is hard to write in
bright, lively fashion when your envi
ronment is dull and monotonous, and
pain and despondency sit by your bed
side.
We crave sympathy—all unfortu
nates do. Especially do we need
friendly, encouraging words when
summer opens with all its pleasures
and pastimes for those who are well
and active.
It seems to me that all my House
hold friends are too busy to send me
even a card. When the mail arrives, I
am sorely disappointed that it does not
bring one little white-winged message.
I confess lam spoiled. My mail used
to be so heavy, and it disheartens me
to have it drop off, these long, weary
days. Recently, I have had to bear
an attack of acute rheumatism. Add
ed to my other ailments, this was
hard to endure, but I try to be patient,
trusting that it will not last, that some
where the sun is shining behind the
cloud. "
Where are all our dear Household
writers of Sunny South days? I miss
their entertaining letters in print, and
their cheery messages through the
mail. They are as silent as though
they had dropped into the depths of a
soundless sea. I love The Golden Age.
Its pages are filled with good thoughts,
helpful to the suffering and faint
hearted. The sketches are entertain
ing, the verses (particularly Arthur
Goodenough’s poems) are excellent,
and Chats are strong and sweet with
the fragrance of the Christly spirit.
May our noble editor and his able as-
sistants live long to brighten the world
with the work of their gifted pens.
Friends, I don’t want you to forget
me. You do not know how sweet it is
to a “shut-in” to find that she is re
membered. I would so much enjoy a
letter from every one who cares to
brighten a shut-in’s life.

“WHEN THE YELLOW JESSAMINE
BLOOMS.”
Dear Friends:
A few days ago, one of the shut-in
writers to the old Sunny South House
hold wrote to me, asking me to try
to get a book, for her, which she has
long wished to read. It is called,
“When the Yellow Jessamine Blooms,”
and is by Alice J. Calhoun, another of
The Sunny South writers. I have fail
ed to find it in the book catalogue, and
decided to appeal to you. If any one
can tell me where I can get it, and
the price, I will greatly appreciate it.
Perhaps some of you have a copy of
it, and will send it to her. If so, write
to me for her name and address, or
send the book to me, and I will send
it on to her.
I will thank you very much for any
help you can give me concerning this
book.
Sincerely,
FLORENCE KING.

THE LARGEST PENCIL MILL IN
THE UNION.
Friends, when you trim a new pen
cil to a point do you ever think of the
thousands of these that are being man
ufactured every day? Os the great for
ests of noble trees that fall undei’ the
axe and saw that you may have new
pencils ready to use? I spent last sum
mer at mysterious Shell Island, off the
Gulf Coast of Florida, eight miles be
low Crystal River. You take a boat
for Shell Island at Crystal River town,
and while waiting for the boat you
may interest yourself by visiting the
pencil factory, said to be the largest
pencil mill in the United States. The
great logs of cedar to be sawed and
split into pencils are brought up in
big barges and boats. One of the larg
est of these boats is the Joseph Dixon,
and the factory is called “The Joseph
Dixon Pencil Mills.” There are seven
pencil factories in this country: two
in New York, two in New Jersey, one
in Illinois, one in Massachusetts, and
this one in Florida. The Dixon pen
cil firm employs several thousand peo
ple and pays hundreds of thousands of
dollars in wages to mill hands, not to
speak of the small army of men who
are constantly busy felling the fine
cedar trees and getting them ready
to ship. I was told that the Dixon
mill supplies eight-tenths of the home
demand for pencils and exports quan
tities to foreign countries.

Is there not a pencil factory at Ce

some years ago; perhaps it was re
moved to Crystal River.
