A Woman,s Whtn.

She was q woman who made prac-
tice Of being always amiable to the
clerks in the shops, and there was one
dry goods shop where she had traded
for many years, and the clerks were
like old friends. But there were some
business changes, and new firm made
offers to the clerks who had been SO
long with the old firm that the woman
had patronized. and they, almost to
man and woman, left. The lifelong
patron of the shop was much incensed
at this. 1t was not fair Or right, she
said, and in fact almost dishonorable.
So one day when she made first
visit to the new shop one Of the old
clerks who knew her we'll stepped for
ward to speak to her after the old cor
dial fashion But. no, this mildest
hammered of women turned her head
away with q cold stare and passed on
without recognition. She could not be
cordial to any one who had acted SO
dishonorablv No explanation is Of
fered of why she herself was in the
new shop 1t may have been just out
of curiosity. OF course one can shop
where one pleases.-New York Times.

The German

The young society people gave
a German last night, compli-
mentary to Miss Marguerite
Stringer, Of Brooksville. The
evening was delightfully."- cool and
from 8 to II the young people
danced to the music of Prof.
Pixies orchestra. E. L. Mcln-
tosh and Miss Lollie Haley led
the German in a very skillful
manner, and introduced many
very pretty figures. The visiting
young ladies present were Miss
Stringer. of Brooksville, Miss
Wright, Of Jacksonville and Miss
Dickinson, of Madison. Fifteen
couples participated in the dance
and all agreed that the evenin 2
was an Ideal one and their enjoy
ment was complete. The Ger
man was impromptu, but was
none the less a success.

Money in Melons

j. l.. Smoak, as usual, has
come out way ahead this season
on his melons. He planted fifty
acres, twenty-five Of which Will
be too late to ship from with
profit, though the yield is good.
He planted the Glossier variety
from seed saved Ly himself from
last years crop, with such sue
cess that be will save several
hundred pounds this year from
the largest melons for planting
next season. Mr.. Smoak shipped
his first car to Boston and it net
ted him 1926, which much more
than paid for growing his entire
crop. He has three cars out that
he has not heard from and will
ship two or three more this
week.
Last year he planted thirty
acres, employed no labor, bought
but little fertilizer and cleared
$500 off Of the crop.
Mr.. Smoak showed the report

lied pine land, the ears of which,
when shucked, were a foot long

A GREAT UNDERTAKING

The DunnellOn COmpany's New Rail-
way, Which is Nearing
Completion
Down at Port Inglis, on the
gulf, saws and hammers can be
heard in every direction. Work
men are busy as bees, pushing q
place into existence which at once
will rank as one of the foremost
ports OF the state.
From time to time the Star has
endeavorcd to keep its readers
fully informed as to the move
ments in connection with the new
railway to the gulf, the Port In
glis Terminal, which is being
built by the Dunnellon Phosphate
Company to avoid the excessive
freight charges imposed upon
phosphate by the railway COM
panies. And the Star now gives
the first authentic interview
given out by this company.
What this new line will mean
to Ocala and Marion county is
readily seen. The business
which is now done through the
port Of Fernandina will be done
at home. 1t will give employ
ment to hundreds OF men with
high salaries in comparison to
wages ordinarily received on
land, such as captains, chief en-
gineerS, master mechanics, steve
dOres, etc.
The railway, which is to be
fourteen miles in length, is prob
ably the finest built road in the
state, as near an air line as prac-
ticable, and to this end they built
through ponds, marshes, hills
and lakes, and yet the grade is
insignificant, at no point being
over six feet to the mile. The
roadbed is fourteen feet wide,
sixty-pound steel rails and the
best ties being used in it's con-
struction.
The motive power is to be fur
nished by two large standard To-
comotives, and special hopper
built cars are being constructed
for the transportation of the phos-
phate, with a capacity of twen-
ty-fve gross tons. The terminus
Of the railway is to be at Port
1nglis City, on the north side of
the Wlthlacoochee river, in Levy
county, while several miles down
the river, at the mouth, IS Cham
bers' island, where Port Inghs
will be situated. Both places are
named in honor of Capt. Jno. L.
Inglis, the genial president of the
company.
At Port Inglis will be located
the headquarters Of the com
pany, stevedores, pilots, ETC.,
while at Port Inglis City the rail,
way terminals, warehouses,
storehouses, ship yard, dry dock
and sawmill will be built, the lat
ter is finished and in operation
now, Large houses and cottages
are being erected for the employ
es, and large hotel, with accom-
modatlons for about thirty five
guests, IS nearing completion, be
sides telephone office, postof
flee, custom house, ETC., which
will be established here.
At Port 1nglls City the com
pany is busy building lighters
barges and dredge boats. Tive
of the latter have been completed
with the exception of adding tn,
machinery. These dredge boats
under the supervision of govern
ment engineers, will dredge out /;

Admiral Chooses Home to be Pur-

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. @,-Af-
ter considering more than one hundred
offers Of houses in Washington, all of
them located in the fashionable north
west section, the committee on the
Dewey home fund selected the Fitch
house, l747 Rhode Island avenue, as a
permanent home for the admiral. The
house is very conveniently located, be-
ing one door to the east removed from
the northeast corner Of Connecticut and

Admiral Dewey expressed his choice
in favor OF the Fitch house before the
committee began to consider the nu-
merous offers. 1t has been built twelve
years, most of which time 1t was occu-

Sheriff Washington Thacker, had been
stolen from the office Of County Judge
Wright. A diligent search throughout
the courthouse failed to reveal the lost
records.
The occupants OF the courtroom look
ed from one to another in amazement,
and there were mutterlngs Of out
rage" "treachery." etc. A large force
OF deputies had been placed on guard
to preserve order. but there was
strong undercurrent which indicated
that an outbreak was liable to occur at
any time.
Judge Eversole directed that an In
vestigation be made into the matter Of
the disappearance Of the records, and
the trials Will probably actually begin
Wednesday or Thursday. 1t Is supposed
that the documents were stolen by
some Of the Chadwells or Grlftins.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY
OF Philippine Volunteer Who Was
Shot Through the Brain.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 24.-Conrad
Egan, member of Company X, First
Nebraska, arrived home this morning
from San Francisco, where he has been
in a hospital since August. Egan's case
Is perhaps one of the strangest from
all the Philippine engagements. and his
recovery is regarded by medical men
as little less than u miracle.
Early in the morning of February
he was shot while advancing with his
company on blockhouse No. Z, near Ma
Mia. The ball was from Springfield
rifle of 45-caliber. It entered Just above
the left eye, and after coursing through
a part OF the brain crashed downward
through the bottom part Of the skull
and lodged in front OF the right ear. He
was in the field hospital for several
months and was a number Of times
operated upon, but the true location OF
the bullet could not be discovered until
he arrived at San Francisco.
He was then taken to a marine hos
pltnl and the Y rays applied, which
showed the bullet, which Mt another OPP
Grafton was removed. Egan Is to-day
enjoying the best of health. He carries
the bullet in his purse and prizes It
very highly. His face Will be disfigured
some from the numerous operations,
but otherwise he will suffer none from
his dangerous experience. He Is Just
twenty-One years old.

CUBAN CENSUS.

Superintendent Rasco Says All Emu.
meratlons Give Satisfaction.
HAVANA, Oct. 24.-Nlr. Rasco, super
visor of the census, conferred with Cen
eral Ludlow to-day. concerning the lat
ter's charges against some of the
enumerators. He explained that the
appointments were published six weeks
ago in the daily press, and that they
were made on the recommendation OF
responsible persons. He added that II
criminals had been appointed they
should be Jailed. He asked for a list Of
those enumerators having police re-
cords, in order to submit 1t to Mr.. Ohm
stead, the chief supervisor, when he re-
turns from Santa Clara. Mr.. Rasco
says that all the enumerators are Civ
ing satisfaction.
General Brooke has received letter
from Governor Lind, OF Minnesota, ask
ing for verifcation Of story told by
negro, who claims to be son Of the
late Cuban general, Antonio Maceo. AL
ejandro Rodriguez and other Cuban
leaders say that Maceo had no son.
Ezequel Garcia, who was secretary Of
the French Cuban junta during the in
surrecti0n, has written a letter to La
Patrla, congratulating Mayor La Coste
on his order forbldding the display OF
the Spanish flag. He says that the
same energy should be employed to rid
the country OF all interventors or
would-be intervenors In public affairs.
Any flag which is offensive should be
pulled down. hostile clubs closed, and
foreign attackers and crltlcisers expell:
ed. He said:
we are in our own house and should
not permit allen elements to Intrude.
We ask none to love US, but should
compel all to respect US, and II, as I
believe, force must be the convincing
argument, then let us appeal to force,
arms in hand"
This communication Is of special in
terest since the Patria Is now the or
gan Of the national party. Two weeks
ago the paper disapproved of Mayor La
Coste's order. but by the publication Of
Garcia's letter 1t gives the tacIt APP
proval Of the national party to the flag
decree
