CLASH or FLORIDA'S CATTLEMEN.
An Interesting story of the Industry
and Cowboy Knavery.

anu 0OWuOy AnANeEys
Tampa (Fla.) Cor. Jacksonville Citizen.
Cattle raising in Florida, and especially
in the southern part of the state, has
been an industry from which thousands
of dollars have been accumulated. A man
in the years gone by, when the luxuri-
ant ranges were untraversed by the hordes
of cattle thieves, could buy a few head
of cattle and in from six to ten years
have a drove that would represent a COM
Portable fortune to him. Some men in this
way acquired herds that number up in
the thousands, and have uncounted for
tunes of several hundred thousand dollars
grazing on the ranges.
A large force of cowboys, regularly
employed is required to keep the owner
posted on his possessions. These en-
ployes are constantly on the go from one
range to another, picking out any stock
that may have strayed into another mans
herd, and keeping the employers stock
in one body or in detachments.
Every years there IS a general round
up, and the marking and branding them
occurs. The young calves have their ears
cut in some peculiar manner. each stock
holder having different mark. Some
will mark with half circle out from the
under side of the ear. This is called an

Tho Inventive American.

The fertility of the American
mind in invention appears in the
statement in the report of the COM
missioner of patents that out of a
total of 1,544, 419 patents issued by
the SO leading countries of the world
562, ass, Or more than one-third,
have been granted by the United
States. Undoubtedly the ease with
which patent may be obtained in
this country is accountable in con-
siderable degree for this showing,
but the chief cause is the eminently
practical spirit of the American peo-
pie, which turns their undoubted
intellectual agility into profitable
channels. In Connecticut one pat
ent has been taken out for each
1000 of population, and among in
dividual patentees Thomas A. Edi-
son stands at the head of the list

The Gentle Japanese.

"There is one peculiarly about
the japanese that is not particularly
known--they never utter an oath, !"
said Colonel r. w. Gruber. THE
reason for this is that there is no
word in the Japanese language
which is equivalent to an oath. Even
the vast number of foreigners who
have gone to that country during
the last ten years and the thousands
of new words added to the language
have not in the least affected the
Japanese in swearing. In this re-
spect the Japanese stand alone, for
all other inhabitants of earth can.

stronger expression than the one

MODE OF DRESS IN ICELAND.
Women Who Are Not Bound by the
FetterS of Fashion.

"The home life OF the Icelandic
women is almost ideal,"- writes Jessie
Ackermann in the November Ladies
Home Companion" For many years
they have worn the regulation national
dress, which for comfort and common
sense is unsurpassed. Children under
ii wear the usual dress of other civil
lied countries, but after confirmation
they are sent forth young ladies, in the
same style of dress as their mothers,
and, indeed, their grandmothers. The
plain, almost severe, cut gives them a
mature appearance and robs them of the
girlish look that usually attends that
age The hair is dressed in the most
natural way. parted in the center at the
back and braided just behind the ears.
The ends are crossed and brought UP to
the crown. where they are concealed
beneath a small, black cap. From one
side hangs a long, black silk tassel, or
namented with gold or silver or old Ice
landic work. The cap is worn in the

as head dress, bonnet and hat. The
material of the dress is black, made of

THE STATE LIBRARY.

The criticisms of the Record Union"
Library is conducted have attracted
much attention and brought out gen
eral approving comment. There is no
gainsaying the charge of the Record
Union" that the present system under
which the Librarian selects and runs
the Library Trustees is vicious and op-
posed TO all right principle.
AS we elabor;ately set forth some days
ago, the system is for each of the can
didates for State Librarian 10 select a
list of nominees for Trusteeship, pro-
pose them to the Legislature and log
roll for their election. OF course, the
understanding, amounting to a fiat
pledge, is that whoever votes for a
given list of Trustees votes for the cam
didate for Librarian who stands be-
hind the group. The candidates in a
given group thus lend themselves to the
ambition of a candidate for Librarian.
The Trustees are really not voted for at
all, but the candidate for Librarian.
The mere name of one nominated for a
Trusteeship amounts to nothing there
fore. nor yet the personality.
Under such a system it is obvious
that the Librarian runs the Trustees
and the library. instead of the Trustees
running the library and the Librarian.
Evidently there is no response possible
to be made TO the proposition of the
Record Union" that the Legislature
should select Trustees to manage the Ii
brary regardless Of any candidacy for
Librarian. These Trustees should then
select the Librarian free handed and
Anpledged, and thus be absolutely free
from any influence by that employe.
1t would be the right thing TO do, as we
have already said, to defeat any candi-
date for a Trusteeship who Is pledged,
If chosen, to vote for any candidate for
Librarian known to be in the field.
Let the Legislature choose Trustees
because of scholarly fitness, knowledge
Of the needs of the library intelligent
upon library conduct. and who by rea-
son of high character, scholastic and
executive ability and love FOR the work,
are deemed competent. Let these Trus-
tees then be free TO choose for LIBRA
rian whomsoever they desire. Whoever
they choose should be their choice,
selects the Trustees, and In honor they
