" ONCE KEPT A DAIRY By KENNETH JONES. “Why are you so worn and weary- Jooking”" inquired the little stenogra. | pher as she turned toward the book- | keeper and scrutinized him carefully | before opening her desk for the day. | “Did you ever keep a diary? asked the bookkeeper by way of reply. | “Oh, you poor man!” exclaimed the | ttle stenographer, unders . “Some one found it, of course.” He nodded and sighed. | “Of course, I might try to comfort you by saying we all learn by experi- ence and there’'s nothing that time doesn’t heal and such things, but I won't. It's all just so much rubbish to the person you try to comfort. 8o I'll just admit that it's a perfectly aw- ful scrape. I can see that some one has found it who oughtn’t to know.” “My kid brother,” explained the bookkeeper, laconically. “What! As bad as that? exclaim- ed the little stenographer, horrified. “It's one I kept quite a while ago— and I'd forgotten it,” began the book- keeper, brightening up at the prospect of unburdening his mind and gaining sympathy. “I noticed for two or three days that Bill was grinning at me in & mysterious way and this morning he uuL known the secret. He found it in an old coat pocket up in my closet. I used the pocket as a hiding place, and haven't had that coat out in ages to go through the pockets, “You see,” he went on, “T kept that diary when I had an awful case of un- dying love for a girl, and, of course, It's all about her. When I see her coming now I make & bee line for the next corner and turn the other way. Why, I never even want to meet any one with her first name. But my present feelings didn’t influence what I wrote in that diary—not a bit! “When 1t happened I was ashamed f l | MISCELLANEOUS SEVERAL nice front rooms and board at 211 Tennessee avenue.

The decay of building stones, ac- cording to more than one authority, is not due to wind action or other sur- tace influence, but to internal disin- tegration resembling wood rot, and this is ascribed by some to a low organism like the fungi and the molds that cause the decay of vegetable sub- stances, 4 A cure has been found for the stone disease, or at least a form of treat- ment that diminishes its ravages. The stones are treated with germicides, the best of which appears to be a mix- ture of sulphate of copper solution with bichloride of mercury and creo- sote.—Harper’s Weekly.

ON THE JOB ONCE MORE Japan will colonize a tract of 100, — 000 acres in Brazil, where will be operated great rice plantations. Spe- clal privileges have been secured from the government of Brazil, such as the payment of the traveling expenses of the colonists, and that no duty will be charged for five years. A capital of nearly $1,000,000 is being raised. Half of this sum will be used. By the end of four years it is expected that the colony will number 2,000 families. Three hundred families;, numbering about 1,000 persons, will be sent first. By January next the first party of colonists will start for thelr new home.

Of Interest to Lakeland Readers. For months Lakeland citizens have geen in these eolumns enthusiastic praise Doan’s Kidney Pills by Lake- land residents. Would these promi- nent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would tkey confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal expe- rience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? Nco stionger proof of merit can be had than cures that have stood the test of time. The following statemen- shiould carry conviction to the min.i o1 every Lakeland reader. J. E. Griffin, 326 S.
