Pen Picture of Lord Ui3ter.
In Dr. Wrench's biography of Lord
Lister, the discoverer of antiseptic
treatment of wounds, the author says
of the great surgeon:
"lie was ever, gentle, courteous and
tirm. Trying as are the exactions and
responsibilities of an important surgi
cal post. Lister was never known to
speak a sharp word to house surgeon,
dresser or any one in his service. His
scientific spirit and discovery attracted
the curiosity of the students and young
graduates of Edinburgh: his personal
nobility won their hearts;' hi^ art of
winning their loyalty was by inspiring
enthusiasm and giving encouragement.
'Often in the middle of a trying opera
tlon.' wrote one of his pupils 'a gentle
smilo bestowed on us young studcitcr
when we were honestly trying to do
our best as assistants was most en
couraging." Many of the students
afterward confessed that their contact,
with Lister was the best and purest
influence of their lives."
Complicated.
"You tnust stop worrying and take a
holiday," said the suave practitioner.
"My dear doctor," replied the irrlta

into a shape that would permit me to4
take a holiday I'd be so relieved that 1
wouldn't need one."? Ijondon Opinion.

"In 1430 it froze for more than two

Tor forty day v wifhoisr Shopping;

"In 'the year of the great winter.' as

streets. Hells were shivered into piece !
as they rang, clocks stopped and in the
cellars wine turned into ice. Hares
and partridges came into the towns
and hid themselves in the nooks and
corners of houses, where they were
subsequently found as stiff as a board

HUNTING THE CARIBOU.
Curiosity Often Lures the Watchful
Animal to Its Fate.
In hunting the caribou quietness is
essential. Never break a twig- if you
can avoid it.' for a cracking branch
makes a noise which carries far ami
may give warning of your up ?roai*h t?>
the very sta? yon partlonl. 'ly \vaiit.
Kqually important is it to Keep a sharp
lookout at all times, especially when
entering a barren, where a stag may
be sleeping, for under sucii conditions
they are hard to sec. Among the nil
unerous gray dead stumps and moss
?Covered low trees the color of the enri
boh is so inconspicuous jhat the tin
trained eye will fail to detect the ani
mal even at close range. The first in
timation will be a glimpse of a disap
pearing patch of white as the caribou
vanishes into the/woods.
AH these things considered.- the cari
bou of Newfoundland is not os alert as
npy other deer that I know of and is
i therefore more readily approached.
| There is. of course, great variation
, among them, some being extremely
alert; and difficult to stalk. while oth
ers are so absurdly tame that they- will
l allow a man to walk right up to within
a few yards before taking flight. Curi
oslty is often a noticeable foiling with
them. When once It is aroused tbey
will go to almost any length to satisfy
it. I do not, however, advise the hun
ter to count too much on it. for the
very thing which you Imagine jfffll
tempt this curiosity will, as likely ae
not frighten thein away. Sometimes
a strange noise will make tfaem vety
inquisitive, and they will come within
a few feet to find out what it is. Then.
I occasionally, a white handkerchiel
| will have the same effect. ? A. Rad

approach of -May t>, Intercut In the
24th annual reunion of the t ' mi ed
Confederate Veterans* Association and
Hons of Confederate Veterans, centers
around the parades, one ea< h
day of the reunion. It haR been d?fl
nitely. decided that the flrgt parade
will he that .of the maid* and sponsors,
and It will be given on the afternoon
of May 6.
This parade will be confined to a?
tomoliiles and Cftfrlftgeiii a ltd all spon
sors and maids of honor will be ad
mitted to It. The Jacksonville Re
union Association has decided that,
If possible, the parade of maids and
sponsors will be the fluent ?peet*dle
of the kind ever Been In the southern
state*. The route will be several inlleB
long and pauses through Vhe principal i
residence and buBlness sections of the
city.
The parade of the second day. May
7, will be of the Sona of Confederate
Veterans and local military organisa
tions. It is 4 he present plan for the
Sour to march on foot, and the parade
will take In the business sections of
?the city.
On the morning of May 8, the last
day of the reunion, the annual parade
of the Confederate Veterans will be
.held. Jacksonville labors under a dis
advantage in staging .this narade that
no other reunion city has ever en
-eo u n t ercd7~tha l ~ of Securing horses. ~
There are very few available horses
In Jacksonville, and as a result It has
been decided to make the parade a
combination between horses, automo
biles and foot-marching. The local
association believes that it will be
possible for the commanders and their
staff officers to Le provided with
mounts, but It is going to be a diffi
cult matter to secure a sufficient num
ber even for that- - However, a united
effort is -being ^nade to secure all the
mounts possible In Jacksonville and
nearby towns in Florida and South
Georgia.
Arrangements for these parados are
being worked out rapidly by special j
committees. ' MaJ. S. C. Harrison is 1
chairman of the committee that will i
have charge of the Sons of Veterans j
parade. He is being assisted by the ;
local camp of Sons of Veterans, of j
which Judge John L. Dodge Is com- j
mander. Adjt.-Gen. N. B. Forrest, of j
the National Sons of Veterans, is here j
giving much of his attention to these
arrangements.
Dr. W. M. Stlnson is chairman of
the committee on entertainment of
maids and sponsors, add has been
working on plans for some time with
a -corps of assistants. He will organ
ize the entire program of the maids
and sponsors entertainment features
and promise# to give the visiting la
dies the best possible reception in
Jacksonville.
Gen. John T*. Inglis, commander of
the Florida division, U. C. V? Is, un
der the rules of the United Confeder
ate Veterans' Associations, ehlkf mar
shal of the veterans parade, with Gen.
W. H. Sebring, chief aide. Gen. 'Inglis
wants a parade In which the older vet
erans will occupy automobiles and car
riages, with commanders and as many
of their stafTs as possible on horse
back. The veterans' parade is being
worked out along these lines.
The social functions of the reunion
will he about the same as have pre
vailed at other reunion cities. Three
balls will be given during the week,
one for maids and sponsors, one for
the Sops of Veterans and the other
for the Veterans themselvds. (*cn.
Bennett H. Young appointed as his
chief sponsor Misi Corrinue Hampton,
of Columbia, S. C. Ills makfTHof hon
or are Misses Minnie Br^ck, of Chat
tanooga; Elcrtse Washburn, of Mont

represent the south in the social func
tions of the reunion.
Jk? dancing pavilion will be erected
close to the business sectiory^Jj^e
city, and it will be large ^Cighto
accommodate the reunion tunic. In
addition to th? balls there will be a
number of events on the program for
the entertainment of official ladles.
Chief among these ia a trip to the sea
