A Temperance Poem—Bert Royal’s Revenge.
--
In (he same suburbs, in (he same street faraway.
Lived Bert Royal, and his friend, Eugene Day ;
V liile Bert’s father had stead ly grown rich indeed, :
Li lie Eugene Day was very poor and in need.
The Royal family were tended with care,
Ai d their pathway seemed both bright and fair; I
While the Day's strived hard to keep life, -s
Erom morning until night knew nothing but strife.
80 it was the same laminated skies.
That smiled down upon the sleeping eyes ;
On Eugene’s bare room it shown jest as light,
As it did on Bert's coach, so soft and whi e.
After a bountiful breakfast Bert rode away, m
Enjoying bis bicycle at the beginning of the day ;
While Eugene sprang up with great surprise, >'wp
thinking why hi had not risen at sunrise. Ik
Better had he not awaken to view this home,
In a room sat his invalid mother all alone ;
On a pallet as'e-. p his two little sisters lay, >•
• •>
W liile on the floor lay the fath r fu 1 of whisky that d<iy.
The breakfast of ! ugene was a f w pot t res coht,
Then gathering up his blacking materials old ;
V ent and gave his dear mother a fond kLs.
She said : “I am sorry you had a breakfast like this.’’
“Never you mind me,” he said ; “I am all right,
I’ll bring some lemons for you to night
“I would rather you wou'd bring something for the girls,
They will be hung y, too, I know, little pearls."
lie walked up and d >wn the streets until three,
And had not made enough to buy s -me tea ;
lie was more than hungry, as he shed some tea s,
For he had worked this way many long years.
“Hello, Eugene ! give me a good old shine,
Said Master Bert : “L> k, boy, at these shoes of mine
Extending his pretty russet shoes so new.
And Eugene gave them a brush of the blackest hue.
Ills shoes were sp ilcd and he was mad we know,
He cried : “I did not think you would do that before ;
I’ll make you sorry, that’s what I’ 1 do,
For yru ha e ruined my shoes so brand r.ew.”
His threats were stopped by a hand on his brow,
Repeating, ‘ My son, wha.’s the trouble now?
Let me plan your r. venge ; let me help you,
Then you will get satisfaction, I’m sure.
Bert answered, “Yes, sii, with sadden surprise.
Thinking his father wanted revenge made h m ’rise ;
Ai d having him, slipped away back home,
While Dr, Royal meditated and planned alone.
Eugene ran on to a remote part of the town,
lnt-> n E-Jaw rifl.'tv. A -- -I r~n ft I, m „ ■ - «-........
The hospital nurse sent for Dr. Royal so kind.
And he was greatly grieved to find
His patient was none other than Eugene Day,
Who his son had scolded and made run away.
In the afternoon Beit’s father told him to go,
To see a little boy who was suffering and poor ;
“He is worrying ino about his mother and sisters dear,
He said they will starve while I am here.
Take some ftuil, ami to him be kind.
Talk to him for he is worried in mind ;
I le is ill Lane’s hospital, on the second (1 >or,
Be sure not t > knock, just open the door."
Eugene was sleeping, dreaming, heaved a sigh,
When Bert opened the door and drew nigh ;
He lav perfectly still, groaning with pain.
And awoke to find his dream was in vain.
Bert crossed the room with fruit in h s hand.
When he saw Eugene he knew lvs father’s p’an ;
He thought of the shoes and his wounded pride,
He fe't like slipping out and running to hide.
His anger sub-iding. he went to Eugene and said,
Gently laiing his hand on his dark head ;
“l am snrrv you are hurt," looking his face o’er,
• Tell me how it all happened before I go.
He rep’ ed, ‘ T was getting away from you ;
I knew it was wrong to rum your new shoe ;
“It d es not matter now, that s all right.
before it is night. »>
Be sure and eat some grapes
“For mvfteU, my friend, I don’t care,
At home I am afraid mother and sisters will starve there -
I know they are hungry, most perished now.
And I cannot help them, don't know the way how."
< I C'n help them ; T know a good wav ;

There was a noble spot in Bert's heart

At length, after wa’king uneas'iy home,
Bert went : n the library, and found lus father alone ;

The treasured hicyc’e was sold without delay.
And the money carried to Eugene’s mother that day ;
An experienced nurse, who <ived quite alone,
Was sent to take care ot Eugene’s home.
Then Dr. Ro\a! went to the minister’s without fear,

| Found Relics of
Party of Hunters in Florida Repor¬
ted to Have Made an Impor¬
tant Discovery.
W, C. Zimmerman, circuit court
clerk of Citrus county, Fla., and an
archaeologist of note, has just reach
ed Fort Myers from Carlos B vy is
lands, where, with a number of
friends, he has been on a camp
hunt. On one of the islands Zim
merman and his friends found the
relics of a Spanish expedition sent
out from Cuba by Christopher Co
Iambus, when the great discoverer
was governor of that island.
While hunting the men passed a
low mound, and at Zimmerman’s
request an investigation was made.
After a little digging, something j
hard was struck and when an- j
earthed it was found to be a com- j
plete suit ol armor. Further dig- 1
ging unearthed three more suits of
armor. Zimmerman pried open
tile helmet of one of the suits and ;
was shocked to see a skull. The j
entire t .
suit was then opened and j
other found suits to contain a opened skeleton. The J
were and also
i found to contain skeletons. Four
j ! swords the made armored in Toledo skeletons. were found
near
j Further digging brought to light!
an iron box filled with Spanish ,
1 doubloons and easily worth $6 ,000 ; ;
a few blunderbusses and cutlasses
of antique pattern, bearing the
name of Sebastian Valasquz ana
the date 1490. Zimmerman con- |
tinued to dig and was rewarded by
unearthing another iron box,
which proved to be the most inter¬
esting find of all. In this box was
found a portrait of a beautiful wo
man painted on ivory, a medallion
dated 1497, on which was a raised
figuic of Christopher Columbus, j
and a roll of parchment covered 1
was a letter from Columbus to Se
bastian Velasquez and related to an
expedition which the latter was to
lead from Cuba to explore the
coast of Florida. The letter was
one of instruction and was signed
by Columbus as governor of Cuba.
Zimmerman thinks \ elasquez s ex
pedition was wrecked near San
Carlos and the members being !
afraid to venture inland because of
the aborigines settled on this is
land, where they remained until
they perished. i
Zimmerman has with him the
suits of armor, the doubloons,
parchment and other relics, The
doubloons will be divided among
al e tubers of the party and the relics
disposed of to the government or
one of the great universities.
