G. Dun and Company during the first quarter of 1912 was 4,828, a very large total for that period. The amount of liabilities was $63,012,- 223, also a large total. The average liabilities per failure amounted to §13,001, which has been frequently exceeded in the earlier records, and with §14,96% in 1911, with $20,732 in 1910 and witn $15,422 in 1908, It was, therefore, in number, rather than in magnitude of mercantile defaults that the first quarter of this year was distin- guished.

Fifteenth century Englishmen sel- dom used either milk or butter. They used great quantities of spices, how- ever, in their food, and, apparently, €14 not care for the more delicate fia- vore that suit modern palates. It is poiated out by a writer that storage and “renovated” butter would had a ready market with them. e B e LIFE OF THE BICYCLE. The bicycle craze as a craze is his- tory printed and put away upon the dusty shelves. But bicycle popular- ity is still a very lively thing, a hm;’ way from the time when the services of the obituary writer are suggested There are not so many factories as there were in the nineties, when bicycles were masters of the road. tut the factories which have survived turn out more wheels in a given time than any did in the nineties, turn them out better, their managers de- clare, and market them at one-fourth the old price. Improvements have been made and by the standardizing of parts costs have been cut down amazingly. The best thing about the bicycle today is that it is owned by those who need it most—the wage- carner, the messenger boy, the school Loy and the school teacher. As an engine o fperil it has been utttrly eclipsed, but as a cheap and an ex- ceedingly handy vehicle the motor car can never hope to rival it, :t will always have a place strictly utilitarian with adults and a pleasur. for youngsters. [If aeroplanes becom~ as easy to run as sewing machines, the same thing cannot be said for the antomobile, - Toledo Blade. * Under State contract, work will begin in a few weeks on three ad- ditional canals from the Miami re- gion into the Everglades, one at Snapper creek, one at Snake creek and one at Cyprus creek. Each will be about seven milks in length., Of this work the Miami Metropolis says: “The plan is for the State to cut these three canals, and then for the land companies to continue them on tirough the property. This will have the effect of lowering still more the water in the Miami and Lauderdal- canals, especially during the high witer season. Thousands of acres will thus be drained and ready for usefulness in twelve months, the time given this company in their contract with the State for the com- pletion of the work. The contract was drawn up last August, but pre- liminary surveying, obtaining right- of-way, ete,, has taken some time.” tLORIDA LASL COASY UraskALLd STEEL CAR».

One way to tell is by the tip end. I{ it is sweet the tip is small and coraes to a sharp point. If there is an abundance of thick, tough skin, full of lcathery | fiber, something is wrong with the banana; maybe it has too much plan- tain in it. Avoid the banana with the tip all spread out with too much knot- ty skin at the end.—New York Fress. S.L. A.

Orang ¢ Grove Property a Specialty. ROOX 7. RAYMONDO BUILDING ’ . Transit Corson smiled to himself as the camp came in sight when he rounded the point in his frail canoe. It was the first time that Corson had smiled i in some weeks, for he had passed a dolorous summer in town. At the camp, he was sure to find rest from the doubts that assailed him, for in the woods Charley Corson forgot even Lillian Blakslee. It was not an easy matter to forget Lillian, for Lillian had been the cause of his wretched summer. He had let the Blakslees have the camp for the hot months. His business kept him in town through what Corson called the “scorching season,” but he had taken pleasure in the thought that Lillian was in camp and learning to love it as much as he did. Next year he hoped that there would be a June wedding, and a July honey- moon in the camp. There was noth- ing more than an understanding be- tween them, but Lillian had made it plain what her answer would be when Corson spoke, and as the weeks sped by, and her letters grew more and more {rregular, Corson first grew puzzled, then worried. Even when they broke camp Corson did not learn the fact until after they had left the woods. Mrs. Blaks- lee's note of thanks hinted at an ear- lier letter, but there was none from Lilllan, and Mrs. Blakslee did not speak of her. In spite of the thanks, there was a tinge of coldness and re- serve in her note that made Corson more doleful than ever. He and Mrs. Blakslee were great chums. Now she seemed to share Lillian’s dislike. He had welcomed the news that the camp was again at his disposal, for in the woods he could forget his troubles for a time, and find the rest that he sought. The camp might re mind him of Lillian, but with rod or gun he could conjure the vision away. He paddled to shore, and was de- lighted to find that the camp had been left in perfect order. The Blakslees had brought their servant with them, and it was only necessary to femove the board shutters from doors and windows, give things a dusting and set up housekeeping. Before long a pot of coffee was perfuming the air, and bacon was sizzling in the pan. The supper things out of the way, Corson fired his pipe, and made the round of the camp. He had reached the rough road that ran at the rear of the camp, when he encountered the dead stump that two years before had been used as the mail box for a pri- vate mall delivery. Teddy Griscom had been in camp with him that year, and it was Teddy who induced one of the farmers to make tri-weekly trips with the mall. Ted had fixed up the stump as thelr private box. There was a cunningly contrived door in the opposite side of the trunk, and Corson glanced in to see how much the stump had decayed since the year before. To his surprise he found that the cavity was half filled with letters and in a flash he realized that the Blaks- lee’s servant, a recently landed emi- grant, had mailed the letters here. It was all clear enough now. He carefully did them up in a bundle and then he sat down to write a letter of explanation. v “l never supposed that the letters had been ‘delayed in transit,’” he con- cluded, “and I blame myself for not understanding what the matter was. I should have removed the slot from the tree, but 1 didn't suppose that even & newly-arrived ‘greeny’ would suppose that Uncle Sam had mail boxes scattered through the woods. It was a delight to get so many letters from you all at once, but I will swap the lot for one little letter containing the single word ‘Yes.'” He made a special trip to the village to mail the package and then made daily trips for the answer. He had not long to wait. Before the end of the week he found a bulky letter in the box and he could not wait until he got to camp to read it. With the canoe floating on the surface of the lake he let it drift while he read over the letter. “It was not Norah,” wrote Lillian, “but the rest of us—and Teddy Gris- com. When we left town Ted begged us to use his private post office if we wanted to. I suppose that he thought we should see the joke, but we didn't and unless we were going to town we mailed the letters in the box and it never occurred to us to wonder whether they bad been collected or not. You see we are not woodsmen like yourself. Next year you can show us, for I accept your offer of ex- change and will send the ‘Yes' as soon as I receive the package. I don't want to let you keep the letters after we are married to prove what a bad temper I had.” Corson struck across the lake as he had never paddled before and he got the letters back in time for the night mail. Then he paddied home more slowly and in the cool of the evening he dug up the trunk and dragged it to the eamp. It s still used as a mail box, dut it stands within the hall and Mrs. Cor _’___________ : g | é Delayed in | | REGABODO G000, ] - LODGE NOTES GUOORAB000 ., Lakeland Lodge No, 91 F, ¢ £ meets in Masonic Hall every . | and Fourth Monday nigi;h.. | 3ial invitation to visitinz !
