a belt line, and every place of interest in
Tampa is touched by it. Some of the
routes are of much beauty, and one which
runs from the heart of the city to Ballast
Point, distance of six miles, is full OF
picturesque and other attractive features.
On this particular line observation or
double deck cars are used, and nearly
every one takes seats on the upper deck
under an awning. On account of the many
curves in the route the cars are run at
slow rate, which is a matter of satisfac-
| tion, for it enables the passengers to more
thoroughly enjoy the beauties of the pine
woods, the fascinations of the orange
groves and the glimpses of Tampa bay,
which are obtained through the woods
every few minutes.
Mrs. Chaplin not only owns practically
all the stock of the Tampa street railway
system, but she oversees all the details Of
its operation and herself directs them.
She owns a handsome car, which she
calls Fair Florida, and on this she takes
daily trips all over her lines and from 1t
she directs the work of the road.
She has a wonderful capacity for busi-
ness and possesses strong powers of en-
durance. For those who are curious to know

THE RETORT HOSTILE
Capital lobbyists Wife Worsted in a
Short But Sharp Tilt

At recent Washington reception there
was short but sharp interchange of
courtesies between the wealthy wife Of an
ex-congressman and the wife of a far
from rich bureau chief. 1t was a crowded
afternoon affair. and the ex-congressman's S
wife was assisting the hostess in receiv-
ing guests. When the wife of the bureau
official was presented, the hostess said to
the woman of the receiving party: "You
know Mrs. Blank, don't you?" Certainly"
said the ex-congressman's wife, "I would
know her anywhere by that pink dress"
The cheeks of the bureau officials wife
were suffused with a rosy glow, but she
turned on her tormentor and said: Prob
ably if my husband bad been mixed up in
as many questionable transactions as
yours, madam it would not be necessary
for me to wear my pink reception dress so
often as to cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and sharp
upon the ears of the astonished guests In
asmuch as there had been frequent criti-
csm of the ex-congressman for his con-
nection with questionable lobby transact
tions, the force OF the bureau officials
wife's retort can readily be imagined.

cuffs are braided, and the collar at the back
is composed of small rows of braid, in front
of tabs of cerise ribbon, the belt the same,

white gowns with bayadere stripes are
made up over glace, showing slight cord

And CLEAN like dazzling stars at night.
My lady's eyes are gray and true,
Yet ometimes, like the sea, are blue.
My lady's eyes are sweet and kind,
Not many eyes like hers you'll find.
My ladys eyes are great and wise,
Yet changeful as the very skies.
My lady's eyes are sometimes cold,
And sometimes shy, and sometimes hold.
My lady's eyes are, sometimes gay,
And tell me what her lips would say.
My lady's eyes are like the sea,
So fathomless and deep to me.
And yet I know those eyes so sweet.
Don't always laugh, but sometimes weep1
But still, though bold, though sad or wise.
I worship my sweet ladys eyes.

One ounce of tea finely ground is moistened

were painted in an ivory tint, and with one

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is
not going to adopt the Raub locomo-
tive for service between New York and
Washington, as has been stated in an
item which has been going the rounds
of the papers for the last month.
The motive power department Of this
railroad has looked upon the rumor
with considerable amusement, as with
in the past year and half the Royal
Blue trains have been hauled by the
finest, fastest and strongest ten wheel
passenger engines in the world. These
locomotives have 78-inch drivers, and
since they have beeS in service have
proved so eminently satisfactory that
nothing better can probably be Sc
cured. 1t will be remembered that one
of these magnificent new locomotives,
No. 1913, pulled Vice President-elect
Hobart on March 2, 1896, from Phila-
delphia to Washington in 1876 min
utes. a distance of 135 miles, and made
one five minute stop. They frequently
run IS miles an hour with six and eight
cars, so the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
is under no necessity of changing it's
type of passenger motive power on
the Royal Blue line and experiment
with a locomotive whose usefulness
has vet to be demonstrated.

poor and deserving families are sent

Already three such colonies are in

doing well. The first one was opened

suits have been marvellous; another
colony is thriving in Colorado, and the

THE "SWINpLER"

Has Been Working With Success at
Bellaire.
The last that has been heard of the
'Swindler" who has been working in
this vicinity was on Saturday last,
when he performed a very clever trick
at Bellaire and succeeded in securing
a sum of money.
A Mrs. Craig, of South Bellaire, was
the victim, and the slick swindler"
was a man we'll dressed, with beard,
apparently thirty-five years of age. He
went to Mrs Craig's house and, rep
resenting himself as an agent for the
Ohio Farmers Insurance Company,
told Mrs. Craig he had come to collect
from her the sum of S13.75, which was
due on the insurance of the property
which she occupied and which belong
ed to her father, John Long. AS Mrs.
Craig is in the habit of paying the in
surance dues and the story seemed
plausible. she at once paid him the
money. He gave her receipt for the
same, signing the name of A. j.
Rogers. The man attempted to swim
die several other Bellaire people, but
his schemes failed to work. He has
not been seen at Bellaire since Satur-
day, but it would be well for people
of that city to be on the alert. Mrs.
Craig realized that she had been de-
ceived when the Bellaire agent for the
insurance company called to collect
the same sum OF money for the in
Surance.

HEART DISEASE
Do Not Be Alarmed. Hut Look For tho
Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed, Hut Look For tho
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be- largely due to the
excitement and worry of American bus
mess life. it is more often the result
of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred
of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half-digested food; there is a
feeling OF oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action:
hence arises paipitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakenS the heart.
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assim-
ilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
gestive elements in pleasant, con-
venient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time. will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.

ERECTING A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
EDIFICE, PUBLIC LIBRARY AND
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Members of the Board of Education
are still discussing the future needs of
the High School. it being universally
recognized that the present accommo-
dations, if not now inadequate, will
soon be so, and they are looking
around for proper site for the new
building which most of the members
feel will be necessary in the next year
or two.
Within a few days past there has
been considerable talk about location
which has not been widely men
tioned-the Fisher foundry property,
at Market, Seventeenth and Chapline
streets. This property fronts about
line streets and about two hundred
and fifty feet on Seventeenth street,
running through unbroken, as there is
no north and south alley in that
square. 1t is understood the real es-
tate is held at fifty thousand dollars,
and the estimated cost of building
to accommodate the High School, pub
lie library and Board of Education is
figured at from seventy-five to eighty
five thousand dollars. The location is
declared to be an ideal one, and to be
satisfactory to both North and South
Side citizens. Some preliminary steps
are expected to be taken in the Board
at an early date, or Immediately after
the members to be chosen at the COM
ing election have taken their seats.
The matter is one which interests
every citizen and taxpayer of the city,
and will bear careful scrutiny and in
vestigation. The Board of Education
is now paying about $1,400 or $1,5o0
annually for rent for the library and
rooms of the Board, and it is claimed
that this rent represents the interest
on about $4,000 which could advan-
tageously be put into the proposed
new building.
