PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
We watch together; bat In shade and
shine
Ton see the golden future of your ways,
And I the light that shone on vanished
days:
No; though together eyes and hearts com
bine,
I cannot see your pictures, nor you mine.
Yet, as the fire burns low, and sinks the
blaze,
From the cold hearth I turn-a moment
gaze-
And read our union in those looks of thine
When on the hearth of life the fire burns
low.
Wherein our lonely dreams 1 and visions
* shone—
When the last picture sinks with all the
rest—
Dear, may we turn as trustfully as now,
May we as gladly quit the cold hearth
stone,
And know that Love’s Reality is best

Where will women wear their
watches next? The latest and most up
to date fad is to wear them tucked
away in the folds of the collar band, or
tie. Here, at least, they are burglar
proof. They have been worn attached
to long chains and stuck in between
two upper buttons of the shirtwaist. It
has been the fashion to tuck them into
the belt, with charms and mascots
dangling from a fob chain. They have
even been pinned from jeweled clasps
high up on the bodice, in full view,
and almost with a 'written invitation
to a passing thief; and there were
dainty little enameled affairs which
would make any shoplifter green with
envy. Then, again, watches have been
hung from chatelaines, worn in leather
bracelets on the arm, in miniatures set
in precious stones, and en fingers, as
rings. Card cases, with tiny watches
inserted in one corner of the leather ,
cover, have been a recent Parisian
novelty, but never before has it been
the society fad to wear a waich >t the
nock. To be carried in this later way,
the watch must, of necessity, be a tiny
thing, and not too thick. It is sus
pended, as before, from a long chain
which, when it falls to the waist line,
and is then taken up again to the col
lar, gives a pretty and graceful effect.
Theo, in the folds of velvet, ribbons or
silk, in between the collar band and
the collar itself, the watch is placed.

Miss Harriot Cope Mills, who has
just spent several days with her par
ents, Col. and Mrs, Thomas Mills, was
the recipient of much delightful atten
tion during her stay. One of the pret
tiest courtesies shown her was the tea
with which Capt. Louis Girrard com
plimented Miss Mills Monday evening.
The elaborate menu was served on a
table, handsomely decorated with
chrysanthemums and nasturtiums, af
ter which the hours were delightfully
epent around glowing camp fires.
Capt. Girrard is one of the handsomest
and most intelligent officers of the
Third regiment, and entertains very
pleasantly. Miss Mills is a beautiful
girl, with charming manners, and is
considered one of the brightest stu
dents at Gainesville College. Capt-
Girrard’s guests were Miss Mills, Miss
Girrard, Miss Ethel Watt, Miss Jack
sonia Mills, Miss Harriot Cope Mills,
Lieut. Lee Branch, Lieut. Chas. Cater,
Bergt. Wilson, Lieut. Harris.
The Dorcas Society held the usual
fortnightly business meeting Monday
afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. T.
R. Mills.

Who believes in mascots? Our sol
diers do, hence our fashionable young
women do also Charms have been
worn on watch chains, on bracelets,
and on cbatelaires, and four leafed
clovers in crystal lockets have been
very popular all the summer. But now
you must do away with alJL>your inan
imate mascots, and have live ones.
White mice, aligators, pigs, goats and
monkeys are affected by some young
women. So to be thoroughly up to
date, one is expected to take about for
gooo luek, a rial, live mascot.

A woman’s face.
Should some one say to me one day,
“Your love is false; she is but clay 1 ”
I’d but reply, “Look in her eyes.”
And he would start in glad surprise
To see the pureness mirrored thertt;
And in her face, so freshly fair,
He would behold the rose’s blush
Os modesty. f Nor could the thrush,
Nor could the lark, trill notes more sweet
Than her clear voice. So, at her feet,
He who scorned would lay his love,
And crown her queer. To Him above
A prayer would rise, and be enrolled "
In God’s own book—a prayer that told
Os purity and sweetness rare—
Found in woman’s face so fair!

The Spanish Cruiser Goes to Pieces ia
a Terrific Storm
Charleston, Nov. s—The Ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston this
morning for supplies. She reported
the loe* of the cruiser Maria Terese,
raised by Constructor Hobson recently
off San Salvador, Bahamas, November
1, in the midst of a furious stofm
The cruiser left Calmenera, Cuba,
on the morning of Oct. 30, in low A for
New York. She bad already passed
Cape Mayai and started northeast
around the Bahamas A furious
storm, warning of which had already
been sent out, overtook her and in her
condition she was unable to weather •
the gale. The strain opened rents in
her hull which had been patched to
enable her to make the journey and ,
she began to fill'rapidly.
The Merritt took off Captain Harris i
and the crew from the sinking ship (
and she went down. The Merritt ,
brought the one hundred
aud thirty-six men who will proceed
north by rail. No lives were lost as
far as known.

A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortun
ately, a friend advised trying ‘Electric
Bitters;’ and to my great joy and sur
prise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed the of another victim.”
No one should fail to try them. Only

Pulpit orators in San Francisco are
not unlike the shifting sand, says the
News Letter. They change rapidly
and occasionally become soggy. At
present the most prominent preacher
in the city is the Rev. Charles Edward
Locke, a bright and shining ornament
of Methodism, who bolds forth in the
Central church.
A week or two ago Dr. Locke was
being shown through Grace church by
an Episcopalian admirer. Gazing in
terestedly at the stars painted on the
ceiling, the visitor inquired if they bad
any special significance.
“Ob,” was the reply, “you know
what the Bible says: ‘He made the
stars also.”
"Ah,” commented the Methodist
parson. “Do you know Che difference
between your church and ours?”
"Ob, I don’t know,” said the Epis
copal adherent, doubtfully. “What is
it?”
“You put your stars in the ceiling.
We put ours in the pulpit,” was the
enigmatical answer.

Th< treasury department in its
stotemvnt for October, estimates khat
the war with Spain thus far has co*t
the fUnited Stales one hubdred
and |ixty million dollars in net
cash, f This enormous etlm is in addi
tion th the amount appropriated for
ths a|my and navy to put them on a
footing rendered necessary by the ap
proach of hostilities. The expendi
tures on account of the war up to the
end of August were one hundred and
fifteen million dollars Another forty
five' trillion dollars was spent in the
months of September and October.
When the expense of maintaining the
garrisons in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines is added, the experts fig
ure that by the close of the present
year the war will have cost this gov
ernment irr round numbers two hun
dred wnd forty million dollars.
Spain demands that we pay her a
large sum for the Philippines. Now if
the Spanish government insists on res
jecting our offer, the thing for ns to do
is to make out a bill against Spain for
1240,000,000, and demand a cash pay
ment, backing up the demand with
our army and navy. If the United
States should take this action, the
Philippines would not be a drop in the
bucket toward liquidating the claim of
the United State*, and this claim is a
just one. No European power provofi 1 .
ed heto war with another country
would think of agreeing to terms of
peace without incorporating their bill
of expenses in the proceedings and
exacting every dollar of it from the
vauquiabed foe.—Columbus Enquirer.
