PIE, plain unsssumihg Wakullh coun-

Confederate soldier. he hds devoted a
large share Of his time energy ahd tall
Tents to the service Ut the peo-
pie OF Wkkulla, without pride and
without the hope Of cotpersation.
Where ever there is sickhess and dis

the county, rs they could not be used
in count OF law while the originals
were in existence, SO they decided not
to buy copies from Capt. John Ruge, of
Appalachicola, which were offered to
them for 1900.

Rain in Cuba.

From the London Mail.
A sudden pattering In the trees, a sud
den darkenng in big spots of the white
canvas. and down came the tropical rain.
How il rainedl
Like waves breaking; great heavy biobs
of water voiieying at you like bullets from
machine gun.
Men who were ten yards from their tents
were wet through before they gained
shelter.
In hve minutes the camp was under wa
ter; on the slopes We're rushing torrents on
the levels were deep swirling pools Down
the trunks of the trees the water pour, Il
in cataracts. From the lower edge of
every tent il flowed in a broad stream
The men, drawing up the corners of thAir
rubber blankets so as to keep the flood
away from themselves and their belong
ings, crouched under their tents and shiv-
ered.
1t rained for two hours without stopping
In the first half hour every man in camp
was wet through, so that many of them
tCck on their wet clothes and stood naked
in the rain for the remainder of the time
The sun came out again soon after hot
ter than ever, and the damp earth steamed
till the camp was open-air Vapor bath
But blaze away the sun might the
ground never got dry again that day and
at night we turned in shivering with tn >
damp earth striking cold through the rub
ber sheet and the blanket. Pity the poor
devils now who, when they were march
ing in the sunshine, threw away their rub
Der sheet and the blanket.

"iucky" Baldyyin's Bad Luck,

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Lucky Baldwin is 10 longer lucky. He
can't raise ready cash. He has plenty of
real estate-whole square miles of as fine
land as exists anywhere, but nobody wants
to buy, and SO he remains poor A. one
time. what with his mines his ranches and
other interests, he was worth $50 600 600.
That was not long ago, but even twelve or
thirteen years ago ne was very rich and
vas lord of the vast and beautiful estate
In the San Gabriel valley, near Los Ange-
les. Along In 1894 it became known that
presently he began to sell pieces here and
there of his grand estate in California.
Lucky was not living up to his name
Today, the owner of land enough for a
small principality, he finds trouble in lay
irg his hands on a hundred-dollar bill Mr.
Baldwin has been living in San Francisco
pretty regularly for the past three years
He is now seventy years old and is show
irg his age. He is by no means the pic
tLresque man he was when his VCiaate was
king Of the turf. But Lucky is q pretty
good man yet. even If he is losing his mil
hons. Among all the shrewd wise men
who became bonanza kings and million
aires in the brisk days of California the-o
was none shrewder wiser than Bald
win. He has played many parts In his
time and played all well. He has been a
canal boatman, groceryrnan hotel kaenor
brickmaker, hveryman, theatrical mana ger
turfman. mining operator, farmer and al
ways q speculator He has been able to
manage and direct five or six big business-
es. from magnificent stable of race horses
to gold mine, hotel, ranch winery. Vine
yards and brickyard. He may not leava
as many millions behind as he might once
have left, but there is hardly any danger
OF his going to the poor house.

Proposed to a Queen.


The art of making a proposal of mar
riage to queen Is one in which 1t is no
disgrace for any of us to plead ignorance
and inexperience a resident of Malta has
thus addressed one of the dusky queens of
the South Pacific Islands:
Her Gracious Queen: I hope you will
most willing excuse me for having the i'm
pudence TO write to you in this manner, and
reading the paper yesterday l read about
the steamship Bonanza being drifted on
your island, and the women under you be-
gan to select husbands from the crew and
that you, my queen, wanted for a husband
a man that would love you and make you
happy. ! have been thinking the matter
over. and | have come to the conclusion
that if you VIII have me for a husband
write back and let me know; also that you
should send me the money for my passage
out. so as | can come to you and | will
repay you the money when | get to YOU
If, my queen. l will suit you, write back
and let me know as soon as possible; also
send me a paper note for t23 or f25 and |
Will come at once
If the Maltese gentleman wonders why he
received no reply to the businesslike pro-
posal, it may interest him to know that /.

opened by the head chief, who handed it to

How Steel Gets Tired.
From tie New York Herald.


when first l read of that steel truss in
the Brooklyn bridge buckling," said a civil
engineer and bridge builder II thought il
might have been due to fatigue as much
as to the expansion of the cable.
Fatigue? Why, certainly. The capaci.v
for becoming faugued by exertion does moi
entirely belong to bodies animate There
are many inanimate things. including iron
and steel, which grow fatigued Uemoor,
riiy sapped vitality, the same as yoiirssif
after a hard bit of work. and lose much Of
their strength and elasticity through LONG
continuous srbjection to stress or Vibration
But IL they are allowed TO rest for awhile
these metals recuperate and recover their
original strength and dependent virtues.
Tests conducted with great care and ac-
curacy with full-siZed bridge members and
various other commercial forms of steel
and iron have been made and have so thor
oughly proved this observation of fatipi,o
in inanimate things that ii is seneraIIvE az
cepted by members of my profession as n
positive and well-Gnoerstood law
THE effect Of constant vibration unor,
steel and iron is to cause fatigue and weak
ening of the metal. An English engineer Of
high authority years ago called attention
to the fact that iron wires kept in torsionaI
oscillation during the week behaved very
differently after their Sundays lest"
