the nests of robbers and pirates infesting
the coast.
Almost Immediately upon Old Hicxory's
arrival in Florida he found it necessary
TO administer a telling lesson 10 che Span
ish governor, Callava. This official had
wrested a large fortune from two orphan
girls. The papers necessary to secure
their property had been seized by Callava,
and in order TO be able to say that he
had them not in his possession they We're
cOniided to one OF his henChmon, .Sousa by
name, The orphans had no chance of
getting them SO long as Callava was
Spanish governor of Florida, but when
the negotiations were completed and Gen.
Jackson came to take possession of our
bargain, The orphans got their friends to
represent the case TO the American gov
ernor. AS soon as Jackson understood
the matter he sent demand to Sousa for
an immediate surrender OF the papers.
Sousa. having heard OF the appeal TO the
new governor. took them back to Callava,
never for a moment supposing that Gen.
Jackson would dare interfere with so
high and mighty a person as a Spanish
governor
But Old Hickory was no respecter OF
titles or office He now took CalaVa In
hand. and demanded the documents With
true Latin evasiveness. no satisfactory an
swer could be gotten from the Speniard.
He little knew the man he was dealing
with, for Jackson, without further par
ley, sent a file of soldiers and took him
prisoner. A long protest in grandiioquent
phrases was sent by the enraged Calavd
to Jackson who did not understand a
word of Spanish. lie simply turned to
one of his aids and said: Have him taken
TO Jail" When this order had been COM
piled with the Governors house was
searched and a. box looking as II il con
tanned papers of value taken from It, I'M
der officers selected for the purpose, the
box was opened, and sure enough. there
were the documents substantating the or
phans claim to a large inheritance, which
they at last obtained.
The circumstances of this historical case
had telling effect. The Spanards who
remained In Florida made no further at
tempts 10 bully the inhabitants, and the
territory purchased from Spain In 1921 was
admitted 10 the union In 1916.
The firm grasp on Florida caused the
United States TO be greatly respected
abroad, for within two or three years after
our government was established down
there Russia, as well as France and Spain,
sought our friendship by important trea-
ties.
When President jackson directed Liv-
ingston to pack up ana leave Paris, where
he was the representative OF the United
States, unless Louis Philippe paid France &
debt to this country, the blunt old warrior
had become disguised, not only with Latin
stiffness, but also with the ingrautude
of the King Of the French toward the
country that had sheltered him In his houI
| of need.

A PERPETUAL JAG MAN.
He Must Stay Drunk or Lose Large
Fortune
From the New York World. u.

Fortune.
From the New York World. Ht
Many young mans inheritance I'has
depended upon his good behavior. But
there is one in this country whose posses
sion of a fortune rests entirely upon the
the condition that he shall always be dis
sipated. If he should lead respectable,
sober life he would lose nearly 100000 BY
keeping himself in a continued state of in
toxication he retains a handsome income.
These facts are vouched for by Lawyer
Paul P. Harris, firm of Harris & Dalton,
No 81 Dearborn street, Chicago. From
him the details of this remarkable case
are learned.
The young mans grandfather was a
wealthy Alabama planter who did not
like most Southerners, lose his fortune
in the civil war Having in early life
Travelled the path Of the spendthrift him
self he was determined that his grand
son, TO whom he intended TO leave one
half of his property, should not squander
his Inheritance. So, in his will, he insert
ed a clause to the effect that If the young
man drank intoxicants 10 excess the trus-
tee should pay him only the income from
100000. If, on the other hand, he was
eerious-minded and well-behaved. he
should have the whole sum.
Up to three years ago the young man
was all that his grandfather could desire
him to be. Then he engaged in business
and that really was his undoing. OF an
accommodating nature he Endorsed notes
of his friends to the amount of $38 900.
That lead to business complications and
final failure and he owed altogether
more than $50 OO0 Then his grandfather
died.
The young man did not object TO pay
ing his own debts, but he baked at max
ing good the obligations of his friends,
whose notes he had foolishly Endorsed. SO
what could he do2
If the trustees paid him his inheritance
of 100000 the creditors would pOunce upon
it, and what with court costs, interest,
etc, there would be little left. On the
other hand-and a bright idea IL seemed TO
him-if ne acquired perpetual jag the
trustees could pay him only the income
about 5000 a year. And on that sum any
energetic young man can certainly make
good any required amount OF dissipation.
Therefore, The young man travels about
the country in a never-lapsing state OF
hilarity, good humor and mixed speech.
At regular intervals he reports himself to

Feathers in millinery.

In the world of millinery long os-
trich feathers seem likely to take a
very prominent place, more especially
when they are dyed in some rather
deep yet brilliant hue and shaded
away toward the tips into either white,
cream or some very light and delicate
tone of color. A smart hat of white
rice straw, for instance, which was
just going off to Monte Carlo, was
trimmed round the comparatively low
crown with long ostrich feathers,
which were of deep orange color to
begin with, but which shaded after
ward through various tones of flame
color and yellow to the ralest prim-
rose possible to imagine.
