The group nodded assent, + “Waell, there's quite a story connect d with those trees,” he continued. ™Some years ago there lived in a ouse in Buffalo, overlooking the river, very wealthy banker, whose only ughter was beloved by a young sur- weyor. The old man was inclined to estion the professional skill of young d-and-level, and to put him to the t he directed him to set out on the Dominion shore a row of trees no two »f which should be any farther apart than any other two. “The trial proved the lover's ineffi- mency, and forthwith he was forbid- n the house, and in despalr he wned himself in the river.

In view of the anti-alien land legislation this may be the last trans- ! action of this kind in the history of | the state. Notable Reminder. Dr. Simon Flexner, the noted physi- cian of New York, is a foe to warfare, and at a recent dinner he said: “A friend of mine was telling me about the horrors of the war in the Balkans. One incident lingers in my memory. ’ “Three young surgeons, during a ter- ible battle, were working in an ex- posed and dangerous place. The gen- eral sent an orderly to them. The or derly gallojed up with bowed head amid a rain ot bullets, and demanded an-rily: . “ “What are you here for? The gen- eral wants to know what the deuce you're here for?" “A young surgeon, covered with blood, looked up from the prostrate form he wag bending over, and with a smile he answered: “Tell the general we are here to' remind you all of civilization in the midst of this brutality.” Providing for the Future. “1 am thinking of adopting a literary career,” said young Pilcher. *“What would you advise?” “First of all,” answered his elderly friend, Wasby, “I would advise you be- fore adopting a literary career to see ' {f you can't get yourself adopted by some childless millionaire.” The Services of Artists Are Yours When You Bring Your Work to the Lakeland News Job Office YOUfget work done by people who know --who will not let some foolish error creep into your work that will make your printed matter incffective, and perhaps sub- ject it to the amused comment of discriminating people. : Our plant turns out ten newspapers every week==two of them being sixteen-page papers of state-wide circulation; but this does not mean that we do not also give the closest at- tention to the small work.

There had been no scene or scandal. The 13 3 14 ¥ ." 4 § : trouble had come i 4 ) ¢ 13 Y The house seemed very suddenly and quietly. Her husband, Walter Landon, had con- fronted her one evening with a se- rious face and the astonishing dec- laration that her cousin, Billy Jer- ome was on al-‘ together too fa-!¢ | miliar footing in| ; | their househo'd, and that she was to | bestow less time and attention upon him. | “Why, Walter,” protested Edna, | half amused and wholly amazed, “Bil- | ly and 1 have been brought uap like | brother and sister, and had never been separated until he went west a few years ago. | couldn't get up the least sentiment for him even if I " dia vt eare for you." | “But you are not brother and sister, ] and [ tell you frankly it maddens me to see him appropriate you as a mat- |ter of course, and 1 will not permit | you to drive with him as frequently as you do. Further argument followed, but i Walter was peremptory in reiterating | his commands. He left the city that | lnighl on a business trip, and in his absence Bdna made her plans quietly and unalterably | “Walter, ' she said coldly on his re- { turn, “1 think it advisable that we separate. Not on Billy's account, ! mot because he is anything to me, but | because of your stand in this matter.” “If vou desire a separation.” he ! said in a low, strange voice, “you shall have one.” She was a little startled and piqued | by his ready acquiescence. “There is one point,” he said, “you have overlooked. 1 cannot be sepa- rated altogether from Lillian."” “Walter! As if I would put a feath- er between you two. She shall come to you as often as you desire.” The next day he moved into apart- ments, and Edna's aunt came to her. It was the time of year when nearly every one was out of town, and the few who came to the house supposed Walter to be absent on one of his fre- quent business trips. As she gat alone in her boudoir, pondering over the estrangement, she heard the patter of little steps in the hall. and she lifted her head expect- antly. Lillian had been spending the day with her father 3 “Oh, mamma!” exclaimed the little girl, excitedly. “I had such a lovely time. We all went on the river in a big boat—and—" “Who went with you?" asked Bdna, quickly. “Papa and his friend.” “What friend?” “A new friend. Jessie.” “Lillian,” she said, angrily, “don’t ever mention that Jessie's name to me again.” “Jessie was lovely to me! 1 like Jessie!" | So the intriguing Jessie was winning her child’s affections as well as her | husband's. She decided that she would | not allow the child to go to her father | again. She spent a miserable night | S ST IPUP TN TUTUNPUSPU T U TOPUEEL PP ST F L v Ly Y “Why, doctor,” she cried delighted- Iy, “I didn't know you had returned. | “I came home a few days ago and | have been trying to call, but have been prevented.
