EACH BOY HAS HIS IDEAL.
This world is large and is popu
lated by a people whose minds
are as varied as the leaves upon
the trees. No two people will
view a question in all its phases
exactly iu the same light, though
they may agree in all essentials.
From early childhood the boy
ca&ts around for a model or ideal,
and he is sure to. find one of some
kind, and that model or ideal has
much to do in shaping his general
character. No one will deny this
statement. This being a fact we
should be very carefnl as to our
ideality! The boy thinks, and
naturally so, that his father is the
greatest man in the world. The
father, in many instances, is the
sou's ideal, then how important
that the father be as near a per
feet ideal as possible.
But there are other ideals than
fathers. Public men, of promi
nence, are often selected by the
hov without their knowledge of
. ----- v
the fact and their lives are large
ly modeled by the chosen ideal.
A word detrimental , to the best
interest of any particular man
may be unwittingly uttered by the
chosen ideal and the boy follows
his ideal. There are discords in
most all vocations of life and they
are kent in motion bv ideals. The
i. ,
. boy hears his ideal express an
opinion and that at once becomes
the oDinion of the bov. Tbe
church member thoughtlessly ex
presses his views about tbe dis
course of his pastor, whom the
boy has been taught to revere
and he at once decides with his
ideal, or if the pastor should be
his ideal he will decide with him.
. t -
The main idea that we desire to
make prominent in this short ar
tide is that we should, be very
carefu in the presence of children
who aie choosing ideals. Whole
communities may be disturbed by
flTamnlfi nf an if?pn.l
. It is folly for a profane swearer
to try to teach boys not to swear
when they hear profanity falling
from his own lips every day, yet
we find men who will severely
punish their boys for swearing
. and while inflicting this punish
meut each stroke of the switch is
accompanied bv vile oaths. If the
tree is corrupt so will the fruit be
Men go to church and take an ac
tive part in the services and then
go out upon the streets and use
foul language. The bovs have
been to church too, and, perhaps
have observed the actions of their
ideals and they ac once follow
suit. If these ideal lives are con-
sistent so will their followers be.
Every living man is shaping
the life or lives of some boy or
boys, for every man is an ideal for
some boy or boys. We are fully
aware that many boys do not
seem to be observant, but they
are far more so thau they seem to
rr v ...
be. We can now recall actions
and words observed before we en
L J ILL - II l
lerea our teens. some were
not. worthy ideals and we have
avoided them all through life stil
we find them, at times, clogging
our pathway. We have found
life to be one continuous battle
againct wrong ideals. A few les
sons in originality would be a good
thing for thoughtful men to im
' press upon the minds of boys. 1
chosen ideal is all right provided
that ideal is a good one one that
will guide and not misguide.
You need not always use a sheep
skin for a saddle, just because your
father did so, but if that is the
best you can do there is no dis
grace anout it. n you cannot
find an ideal that suits you just
get up the best of material and
make one of your own -liking
This is far better than to follow
one who will lead you into a nev
er-ending labyrinth. The parent
should be tht ideal for the boy.
but that must be a high-grade
model if he would follow it to a
perfect finish.

Mr. Editor:
You might appreciate a few liDes
from me as I dwell in' "The Land of
Flowers" (Florida.)
I hae been in the state since the
22nd day of December and must say
much has been seen and enjoyed since
that time. The early history and tra
ditions of Florida will, no doubt, proye
interesting reading to those who have
never visited the state. The following
is therefore, reproduced: '
No state in the Union possesses a
more interesting, romantic, and diver
sified history than Florida. From her
discovery, early in the Sixteenth Cen
tury, her history has been a continuous
chapter of romantic occurrences in
which mystery and tragedy play ever
mportaut parts.
First come the discovery by Ponce
de Leon, whife in quest of the forsought
"Fountain of Perpetual Youth," then
the ill-fated expedition of Narvaes,
searching for the fabled "treasures of
Apalache:" Next the long inarch of
the intrepid DeSoto, resulting in the
n valuable account of the early inhab
itants of Florida: the early bpaaish
settlement followed, then, the "Minor
cases" in Florida: the Hugenotsin Flor
ida: the "War of the Exiles," the Sem
inole war, and tbe long train of minor
and more recent events. The myster
ies of Everglades are yet to be fathom
ed, subterranean caverns explored,
and from the rivers of Florida, her
mineral springs, rich minerul deposits,
fossil remains of prehistoric birds and
animals, will yet come a story to rival
with its record of wealth and power,
the picturesque and exciting incidents
of tbe peninsula's early history.
When DeSota landed on the shores of
Tampa Bay, in 1531), there lay before
him a region unexplored and unknown
to Europeans. Florida had been dis
covered some years before by Ponce
De Leon, and later De Navares made
an ill-starred expedition to tbe new
country; but it remained for De Soto to
penetrate the peninsula and give to the
world an account of the region and its
inhabitants.
In the early people of Florida DeSoto
found a race akin to that found in Mex
ico and Peru at this period, a race far
in advance of the North American. In
dians. The countrv was divided into
provinces, each ruled by a "Cazique,
who exercised despotic control over
his subjects. Under the Cazique was a
headman or councillor; then came the
nobles, commanding the army; then
the warriors, and last the vassals, who
tilled the fields and performed menial
service.
Each province had its capitolor chief
town, which was named after tbe Ca
zique, as was also the province. The
capitals were built as follows: To the
center was an immense mound, upon
which stands the temple, in which the
entire populace worshipped tbe sun
and moou, and performed funeral and
other rius under the direction of the
headman, who had charge of tbe edi
fice.
Upon this mound were also the dwel
lings of tbe Cazique and bis retinue
and that of the headman. Around the
mound were clustered the dwell
the hubjects, and the woll-tiMed fields
beyond, wh--re the natives cultivated
maizf, vegetables, fruits ec. From
the time of DeSoto's famous march
through Florida, but little was known
of the interior of tbe peDsnsula beyond
the fact of its Indian occupation, down
to tbe period of the Spanish grants.
These grants were made during the
latter part of the eighteenh or early part
of the nineteenth century, and consist
ed of gifts by the Spanish Crown of
large tracts of land to certain subjects
wno had b-come distinguished in .war
or otherwise. . These granters were as
tute chaps, as they always selected the
most valuable lands. The grants were
all sustained by the United States Gov
eminent w ben rlorida was ceded to
the United States.
In a few instances the owners of these
grants established plantations thereon.
but, as a rule, they remained without
habitation other than by Indians unti
after the Indian wars. Some of them
are still unsettled, while others have
been cut up into sections and sold to
more enterprising owners
