KEEPERS RESIDENCE, LOGGERHEAD KEY
there deposits her eggs, a large number
at time She covers them carefully
with about five inches of sand and jumps
up and down on the pile to pack it. She
prefers dark night for the operation.
In two weeks she is apt to revisit the
place and lay another batch.
The hunter takes a lantern and patrols
the stretches of sand. He sees the deep
tracks of the animal (for a big turtle
makes tremendous furrow as she drags
her shelly, and if there is but one trail
he follows it up, and at the end he finds
Mrs. Turtle The man then turns her
over on her back, where she is perfectly
helpless. This is not always an easy job.
The creature struggles desperately to
escape and filings sand and pebbles in
singing clouds. A loggerhead, too, bites
like 4 tiend. The loggerhead is not very
good eating and is priced for her eggs.
But if there is no green turtle at hand
the natives do not hesitate to dine off
the other. I did and liked the flesh.
We toiled on through the little desert
until the point of the key was gained.
We had soon nothing save sand and
wave and crab, the old marks of turtle
and a sea bird flashing past. The nerri-
ment i'll the house family reached our
ears. We retraced out path and tried the
other half of the beach.
We had not proceeded ten feet on the
new field when, 80 yards ahead, the dog
commenced to bark furiOusly
''Jinls"' exclaimed Steve. HE has
a turtle, betr' We made squirt, for
the scent Of turtle soup was hot in our
nOstrils.
Sure enough, the dog had one. He had
disturbed her just as she was seeking a
spot for a nest. He had attacked the
huge beast by the right flank, and when
we arrived she was beating a retreat to
the sea, and he was excitedly assaulting
her rear column. The rays of the lantern
dazed her for moment.
''No, old lady, you don't get away
this time,'' said Steve, and he shook his
finger at her. E'Want to turn her, boy?''
OF course I did. So put my hands
under the edge of her shell, and with a
mighty heave over she went. I was
bound would turn her if she weighed
ton. The dog pulled bravely at her
1eathery legs. He was a knowing purI
and had been there before.
We found our victim was a 1oggerhead
of about 200 pounds And for the next
week our menu spelled turtle.

Library hall was packed to the doors
last evening. Over one hundred people
were turned away, not being able 10 get
into the hall. 1t was an audience OF
some of the best people in Topeka,
gathered there to hear FARO deliver his
first lecture and see him heal the sick
and lame
Seeing is believing" For this reason
people nowadays will not put any faith
in a man who says he can perform
miracle unless they see him do it. When
FARO, the man whose wonderful doings
are now the talk of the city, said he
could, with the aid of his powerful medi-
cines, help the lame to walk without
crutches or cane, people laughed at him,
and the only thing to do was to prove
his assertions by fulfilling his word.
That he has worked wonders no one can
now doubt. He has taken persons well
known here, who have not walked with
out the aid of crutches or u cane for
several years, and within one hours
time they were able to walk home with
out any support whatever.
After a few opening remarks, FARO
called for cripDles aud a number went
upon the stage, among them we make
mention of two cases treated last night.
Allen L Woods, who lives on Lane
street near Railroad street hobbled up
on the stage by the aid of two canes.
He stated that he had the rheumatism
for long time; that he had suffered
so much pain that he had not been able
to sleep or rest for the past three or
four weeks. He was given one treat
ment with Zaro's wonderful medicines,
lasting about fifteen minutes, when he
was able to throw away his cane, run,
stamp his feet, walk up and down stairs
as if he had never had the rheumatism.
lie said all his pain and stiffness was
gone. This was the most remarka BILE
cure ever performed in this section of
the country. Another case was that of
Mr.. James Morrison of 500 Clay street,
hObbling on one cane. He stated he had
been afflicted with rheumatism forty five
years and could get no cure or relief.
After a few Moments treatment with
Zaros medicines he had no further use
for his cane. These cases should be
investigated. We call attention to an adj
vertisement of Zaro's in another part of
this paper; he makes a remarkable offer
There will be another free lecture aud
clinic tonight in Library hall. On Fri
day evening FARO gives his startling pri-
vate lecture to ladies only. Zaro's office
is in the Veale block, on Quincy street.
He gives consultation free. Those who
attend the lecture tonight should be
there early if they wish a seat.

We are not all gifted with wealth.
Every one is not gifted with talent
Some have natural gifts as great ora
tors, great preachers, etc, and it is
natural for them to lecture and to
preach. Who would take their talents
away from them2 No one. 1t is theirs.
How often have we heard some good
old preacher remark that he had worked
hard, that he understood the Scriptures
from Genesis to Revelations, and that
after all, all that he could get out of his
pulpit was Il bare living. Another preach
ed of the same denomination, who hnew
no more about the Bible than the first,
drew very large salary. The large
salary was paid because he had natural
talent for preaching.
1t is talent that people are paying for.
But every one can not pay large sums for
talent Prof. Samuels has proven that
he possesses talent in his line. No one
in this part of the country has been able
to accomplish so much. But it must be
understood that all those that are willing
to place themselves under his care
should only make their wishes known to
him and he will see that tn ey receive
treatment for whatever they can afford
to pay. The poor are his greatest friends,
and the rich are his companions. There
fore don't keep away because you are
poor. It is no shame to be poor, but we
know it is very inconvenient.
Come to the Hotel Throop at any time
between 9 a. m. and p. n. and improve
this golden opportunity. Life is too
short TO be suffering when you can be
cured All nervous troubles treated
through the eyes.

tugas.
LoGGERHEAD KEY, Dry Tortugas. May
27.-Loggerhead Key is the last eruption
of the great Florida reef. 1t is Uncle
Sans jumping off place in the south
east. The isle is famous for it's turtles,
and recently engaged in turtle hunt
there with a merry party from Key
West.
The light on the key is one of the best
on the coast. It is Of the first order and
can be seen 25 miles. There are only
seven such lights on the Atlantic sea-
board. The tower is 1 so feet high, paint
ed half black, half white.
The equipment of lighthouse is pro-
verbally neat. At Loggerhead, as at ev-
cry light, three keepers live. Each man
takes his shift at watching in the tower
One man lights the lamp and stays be-
side it till 10 o'clock; another keeps
vigil till 2; the third finishes the dark
ness. At a shoal light like this the keep
ers are allowed to have their families
with them, but at reef lights, the most
lonely places in the world, no woman is
permitted to stay at night. Loggerhead
key is one of the largest of the Florida
keys, and the quarters of the keepers are
very pretty. Cocoa palms shade the long,
cool house, and vegetation peculiar to
the cline is abundant
AS storm was brewing, the mem
bers in the party thought it best not to
venture out till the weather was settled.
So, with comb and accordion and whis-
thing for music, dance was called.
They were all, old and young and the
dog, merrily footing the measures of a
Virginia reel when Steve tapped me on
the shoulder. Steve was a pilot from the
quarantine station at Garden key, three
miles away.
"Say, I'm going to walk the beach.

the others dancing, turned and slid out

regions. In the season the female turtle,
heavy with eggs, crawls up on the sand
to lay. She swims quietly to the shall
lows and there halts for few minutes
to see that the coast is clear. She then
ascends the beach, often going 20 yards
and more from the water. She digs a

The Tillmans of this generation have
mostly died in their boots. One of the

received in the battle Of Chickamauga
and two others were shot dead in per-
sonal encounters. The whole family is

George Tillman, who served in congress
for fourteen years, was actually turned
on. of his seat for daring to oppose the
will of his younger brother. Today you
may see the two brothers graphing
with each other in this curious conven-
ton, which has met chiefly to provide
for the permanent Acknowledgement Of
the negro race and to recognize the So
cialistic principle of state ownership of
saloons in the constitution.
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman was
born forty-eight years ago on his
fathers plantation at Chester. at Edge

his father died, and his mother, assisted
by her elder sons, conducted the billy

There you have Tillman summed up.
But you really do not understand the
man until you see him facing his enc

has no leaders and practically no poll

But the end Of Tillman may be very
near. He declares that South Carolina
will withdraw from the next national
democratic convention unless the free
coinage of silver is agreed to. The re-
