was necessary to make an example of them.They were tied up to the same trees where they had

hanged the Frenchmen, and in the place of the inscrip-tion which Menendez had put over them containingthese words in the Spanish language: “I do this not asto Frenchmen, but as to Lutherans;” De Gourgescaused to be graven on a pine tablet with a hot iron: “Ido this not as to Spaniards or mariners, but as to trai-tors, robbers, and murderers.”

The next day while frying fish, an Indian set fire toa train of powder laid by the Spaniards which had notbeen discovered, and the whole interior of the fort wasdestroyed.

The head of De Gourges was demanded and a priceset upon it by the King of Spain but, though his actswere repudiated by the French king, he was protectedand concealed until, after a time, he was the recipientof marked honors at the French court and died in 1582,“to the great grief of such as knew him.”

Chevalier Dominique de Gourges had vowed to act,even at the risk of punishment by his king, who hadrefused to listen to theappeals of relatives andfriends of the Florida vic-tims.

In addition to FortMateo, the former FrenchFort Caroline, Menendezhad two more forts builtin the area of today’sMayport, and all were well garrisoned. But the Spanishmisjudged de Gourges’ force of French and Indians,allowing him to storm and overrun each fort.

As the Spaniards fled Fort Mateo in hopes of reach-ing St. Augustine, the Frenchmen were now upon thescene of the massacre of their countrymen, and thetaunting irony of the tablet erected by Menendez wasbefore their eyes.

Ordering all the Spaniards who had been takenalive to be led to the place where they had hanged theFrenchmen, De Gourges declared they could neverundergo the punishment which they deserved, but it

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Homework Beth Vorhees of public TV fame said her daughter,

Diana, a third-grader, was to give a demonstrationspeech at school. She planned to demonstrate how tomake “Flies on a Log,” which consists of peanut butterspread on a stalk of celery with raisins on it.

The morning of her speech, Diana took out every-thing she needed and put it on the kitchen counter,ready to take it to school. Unfortunately, when the girland her mother left for school, they forgot to take theitems.

Diana’s mother dropped her off and went home toget the stuff.

The celery was gone. The raisins were gone. Thepeanut butter had been put away.

“Oh,” said Diana’s father. “I had that stuff forbreakfast.”

Beth rushed to gather up more ingredients andhurry them to school, with an apology to the teacherand an explanation of what happened.

“Gee,” said Diana’s teacher, “that’s a first -- ‘Mydad ate my homework.’”

At the Zoo A father and his small son were standing in front of

the tiger’s cage at the zoo. The father was explaininghow ferocious and strong tigers are, and junior wastaking it all in with a serious expression.

Dad,” the boy said finally, “if the tiger got out ofhis cage and ate you up ...”

“Yes, son?” the father said expectantly. “What bus should I take home?” the boy finished.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

Pete & Gladys Pete and Gladys were looking at a new living room suite in the furniture store. Pete says to the salesman,

“We really like it, but I don’t think we can afford it.” The salesman says, “You make a small down payment... then you don’t make another payment for six

months.” Gladys wheeled around with her hands on her hips and says, “Who told you about us?”
