MR. AND MRS. J .D. DUKE
ENTERTAIN IN CAMP 1
Give Fish Fry and Barbecue By
M oonlight and Electric Light;
Phonograph Music and Song
.One of the most enjoyable so
cial affairs of the summer was the .
fish fry and barbecue given last
Wednesday night by Mr. and Mrs. |
John David Duke at their camp on
the banks of the Flint River
Nakomis.
Mr. Duke and family, with 1
a few friends, including fishermen
and cooks, camped several days on a 1
^ig-h bluff, a beautiful place,
j ar g e pj ne al1( j magnolia trees and;
wa ^ er _ oa ] {S overlooking a bend in ;
r j ver w hich formed a letter f “S.” j ■
A s the guests arrived around six,
o’clock, instead of hearing the music'
of mosquitoes, katydids and tree
frogs, they heard an Edison phono-J ■
j. ra ph playing, under the beautiful
oakj a Hal, Hail the Gang’s all>
ke re." t > There were exclamations on
all ides about tthe beautiful place, !
showing all to be lovers of nature,
There were six army tents, with the
tables, benches, rocking chairs and
ma g az jnes giving an air of luxury
an( j CO mfort even in camp. As dark - 1
ness came on the reflector lamps at
tached to the trees made light 1
,
though the moon was shining
brightly through the trees, and as
the ducks came over the river* to
roos t ;t was truly a beautiful scene.
The absence of mosquitoes and
green bugs that worry us in
made all wonder if they had emigra
ted to the cities.

Mr. Duke h’ad prepared a barbe

might not be full enough for the
crowd; but not so, for the table was
bountifully laden with large platters

surprise. The story is from a
Washington paper.
-
Can more than 1,400 girls keep
They not only can, but they did,
here in the National Capital. So
those who believe in the old saw
about no woman being able to keep
secret will have to revise their
opinion about 1,400 times.
Miss Jesse L. Burrall, teacher of
the Burrall Sunday school class of
the Calvary Baptist Church, knows
that women can keep a secret, for
the 1,400 pupils of her class did it.
Since the time for keeping the
cret is past, here is what.they did:
They brought her father and mo
ther, Mr. and Mrs. Joel H. Burrall
of Little Falls, Minn., here as a
birthday present to their popular
teacher.
They made the arrangements six
weeks ago, and every one of the 1
400 kept the secret so well that not
until Monday night, when they
sprung their grand surprise, did
Miss Burrall have the faintest ink
ling of the happiness that was to be
hers.
But It Was Hard Work.
Then, as -she was clasped in the
of her father and mother, she
knew that 1,400 girls, if they are
the right kind of girls, can keep a
secret as well as one right kind of
girl
But it was hard work. All the girls
admit it. They got up the transpor
tation, sent it to Mr. and Mbs. Bur-
Mrs. Fulwood of Tifton its
her daughter, Mrs. Ed Fagan.

rail, conducted all the plans and got
the father and mother to this city
safely, and into the home of Mrs. P.
J. Altizer, president of the Burrall
Class. Then several lieutenants had
to keep Mis& Burrail in her office all
day on one pretext or another.
You see, 1,400 girls and their
friends make quite a “crowd,” and
if Miss Burrall had been allowed to
go about much that day somebody
might have given the big surprise
away at the last moment,
Thrown Off Her Guard.
That night—it was Monday—
Miss Burrall was invited to a “birth
day party” at the church. The girls
had told her they were planning a
“surprise” for the coming Saturday,
so she was thrown off her guard.
After the party had been under
way a time, 500 girls being present
dressed as children, Miss Burrall
was called out of the room. When she
came back one of the girls read a
little poem, which ended with these
word;:
“Dad and mother—here they are!”
Miss Burrall looked at the door
and there dad and mother were, sure
enough. It was a happy moment,
Miss Burral hasn’t gotten over the
i happy surprise of the thing yet, but
she is among the 1,400 who are help
ing show Mr. and Mrs. Burrall a
“good time” these two weeks as
guests of the daughter’s Sunday
school class,
Miss Burrall had not seen her
parents for two years, with the ex
ception of a day last February.
Mr. Burrall is eighty-one years
| old aud a veteran of the civil war.
[This is the first time he has ever
I been to Washington, having been de
j tailed with his regiment away from

the grand review.
But now he can march up and

He was as vividly colored in
moonlight as if he stopd in the
light. He had a rich coppercolored
skin, with a flush of color on it like
the color on an Indian Peach,
“rfid you ever seen an Indian
Peach?” asked the Garden Lady.
“His hair was deep, deep black. His
eyes were black, with high lights in
them that gleamed like dewdrops on
black velvety darkness. He had on
a strange garment that seemed to be.
beaded with bright golden-yellow
beads about the size of corn grains.
Over this close fitting garment hung
a robe of gold color and green that
floated back from his shoulders in
the night breeze. In his black hair
tassels or plumes of yellow nodded.
He smiled a wildly beautiful, yet
sweet smile, that was like a sudden
gleam of rose-and-golden sunset light
For all his green clothes he looked as
dreamily and followed the strange
beckoning silently to tthe boy.
“ ‘I have come again, little pale
face. Many times I come to those
who love their fellow beings. Rise and
wrestle with me. It is your turn, now,
to do this deed of service for your
paleface brothers.’
“Then Tommy Thoughtful rose
dreamily and flolowed the strange
visitor, who glided out through the
low French window to the dewy lawn,
beckoning silenely to the boy.
“There they Wrestled in the moon¬
light, silently but wildly, till the staj-s
seemed to dance about them. Then
suddenly Tommy was alone s on the
lawn.
ii i How did I get here?’ he thought,
and he crept back to bed, sleepily
murmuring to himself some words

“Tommy know no more till mother
woke him with her cherry call,
“ ‘Get up, Tommy! save an hour
of daylight. You were talking in
your sleep hist night,’ she added.
“Tommy forgot all . about his
dream, but the next night it happen¬
ed again, just the same way. Except
that Mondamin did not vanish so sud
denly. ‘Sit down, little pale-face,’ he
laughed. ‘You have wrestled well.
Now, I shall tell you again the old
secret, You will kill ne, tomorrow!
But I do not mind; for I can never
die. When 1 lie breathless on the

Lay me in the earth, and make it

“Then he came down to prose
j quite suddenly, laughing. ‘I will
tell you all about it. For my grave
must be dug just so. And I must be
laid on it with care. It must be wisely

shall read my message in the book of

(To be continued.)
“I didn't rest well some nights. I
would be just as tired when I got up
in the morning as when I went to
bed. I would get weak, and have kind
of fainty spells —at times hardly able
to do my housework.
I heard of Ziron, and felt maybe
