HIS SIgnmturc.

An elderly man stepped into big
hotel the other day, accompanied by his
wife, and asked for room. When the
polite clerk gave him pen and placed
the register before him, be looked visi
oily embarrassed, but he took the pen
and bent over the book as though he
had nervtd himself TO some desperate
task
He started TO write and then stopped
and began to think. The clerk, of
course, didn't know what the trouble
was or else he would have volunteered
his services. After painful pause the
ruralist started in TO scratching some
more.
A.'er the expiration of fully FIVE MN

HERE in Florence, during these
warm, sunshiny days, it is difficult
to realize that just over the range
the snow has been falling in clouds
and that the weather has been in
tensely cold, while at the same
time the wind has been raging.
Such, however, for the past three
duya has been the case at Lead
vile aud surrounding towns. OF
coarse, the windy feature. is very
eitsy for us To believe, for the wind
we have ever with US. but when we
try TO imugine FROM six 10 fourteen
feet OF snow on the ground and
railroads eifectuailv blocked, we
are forced to pass ii up. The Ar
kausas valley is all right. While
the mountain towns are shivering
with zero weather we are b>sking
in the sunshine of springHke days.
As a matter OF fuct our eyes have
sometimes an appearance that
would indicate copious use of
highballs or gin sours, ON account
of the dust which the wind whirls
into them, but we prefer that to
having the sportivc snowAakes
form drifts within our celluloid
collars, and melting, form rivulets
to trickle down our several verte-
brae. Yes, it's better here in Flor
ence.

An Empre..' Pen.

heard an interesting fact regarding
the former empress of the French the
other night which shows in what direc
ton her thoughts run. Whenever she
has occasion to write anything about
her lamented husband, she always uses
the diamond pen which signed the
treaty of Paris. All those who partici-
pated in this historical occasion wanted
the pen as memento. But so keen was
the empress ON possessing it that she
begged that only one pen should be
used, which she thought she had a
right to retain as souvenir This was
agreed to, The pen takes the form of u
quiil pluckcd from golden eagles
wing and richly mounted with dia-
monds and gold. -Woman's Life.

Two Aged FlOridians Dead

Quincy, July 22.-Mr. Adolph
Ottinger, who was so seriously
injured by an explosion, which
occurred in his store on the morn
ing of July 4, died on Friday
last.
Mr.. Ottinger was the oldest
merchant in Quincy, having be-
gun business here in 1872. He
was born IN Germany. He leaves
a wife, one son and five daugh-
ters.
Mr.. John Sharon departed this
life on Saturday afternoon last at
the home of his son, Hon. H. F.
Sharon, where he had come few
months since, from his home in
cambridge, Ga, to spend his last
days. He was born in Paris, on
June 16, 1918. While quite a
small boy his parents moved, to
Halifax, n. s., where he grew to
manhood. Mr.. Sharon's father
was a British soldier. He served
in the Peninsula War against Ma
poleon, and was wounded at the
battle Of Waterloo. The British
government presented him with
two medals for his gallantry in
battle In two actions, at the bat
tie of Waterloo and during the
Peninsular campaign.
John Sharon was probably the
oldest hotel keeper In the South.
He began the business in 1915,
and kept the Mansion House in
Apalachlcola, which was the
largest hotel In the state in ante
bellum days.
DR.. John Carrie, the inventor
of the Ice machine, exhibited his
invention first in the diningroom
of the Mansion House, while Mr..
Sharon was proprietor. Mr..
Sharon's body was carried to
cambridge for intermeut. He
owned the principal hotel there,
which bears his name now

 Swimming.
 Washington Star: "A swimmer, no matter whether he is a beginner or an expert. cannot improve upon the ad5 vice of his great -grandfat sF, which is to St 70 to a brook or sagmAand study the manner and methods of the frog. remarked an ex-champiqn of the New York Athletic club to writer for the Star recently. The most expert swim mers in the world are tyros compared to the laziest bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swimmers is that they spoil the effect of the stroke by the recovery. When frog starts off he draws his legs carefully and slowly up under him un- til he is in the position of man sit. ting on his launches Then he sud- denly gives a mighty spring in tho water, kicking his legs out, behind him. but almost directly crosswise. After tte kicks his legs are slowly drawn together by his motion through the water until they hang out behind him in perfectly rigid form. Every toe of his web feet is held out as straight as an arrow and then nothing retards his motion through the water!1 Then again he slowly and carefulF@l draws his legs in and repeats the per formance. You will notice that iu drawing the legs up to his body for second kick the frog recedes q little. This is owing to the action of the un- per leg on the water, and it core spends exactly with the similar move ment on the part Of a man. The first thing d frog does is to give his body a good start through the water and he holds himself in such a way that he gets the whole value of the stroke. 1 man starts ont with just such a kick, but after he has gone two or three feet he will begin to swing his hands for ward or draw up his legs in such fashion that they offset the whole value of his work. IFs4tops his own body half way before the effect Of the stroke has spent itself"

WHY THEY DO IT.
Some Queer Things Done by Pets and
 the Reason.


 Did you ever see your dog walking around and around in circle? or course you have. but l don't expect you know why they do it. Years and years ago, more years than you can count. perhaps, the dogs were all wild, like their cousins. the wolves, and had to beat out hole in the grass or the snow before they could lie down. And the dogs have done the same way ever since. They had to keep their noses clean, too, so they could smell the rab- bits and other animals they ate. a long ways off, so they never let their noses touch the ground, going to sleen with their noses resting on their paws And they have done that ever since The cat is always washing herself and is known to be the cleanest of all the animals. Well, away back long ago the cats had to keep clean or the little ani- mals she waited patiently for would smell her q long ways off and Kitty would have had to go hungry. And cats ,e the same today.
