The Value of Facts

Although it has been my privilege to
be the medium through which a good
many hundred thousand dollars have
been received for the work at Tuske-
gee. l have always avoided what the
world calls begging" l often tell peo-
pie that / have never begged" any
money. and that l am not a "beggar."
My experience and observation have
convinced me that persistent asking
outright for money from the rich does
not as a rule. secure help. 1 have
usually proceeded on the principle that
persons who possess sense enough to
earn money have sense enough to
know how TO give II away. and that
the mere making known OF the facts
regarding Tuskegee. and especially the
facts regarding the work OF the grad
yates. has been more effective than
begging.-From Booker 7.

This old rhyme, ii appears. was unearthed by
some industrious antiquary twenty years ago.

else but what it pretended TO be; besides. the
suppOsition that il fraudulently made UP

Il the rhyme has any meaning at all, there can

in this first prayer book Of Edward vi, which
is also the last Anglican work in which the term
''I12ss" is officially tolerated as applicable to
tn communion service. The origin OF the book
is curious too as an illustration Of the gradual
fa-hion in which the Church of England pro-
@, Jed in Prntestantizing itself. Henry VIII,

The Paris Metropolitan Underground Railway

in active operation for over seven months and
the problem whether an underground electric
road can be made to pay in spite of the enOr-
nous cost of construction seems to be satis-
factoriy solved The number of passengers has
been steadily increasing. The latest returns
show that the number of tickets sold during the
month of December 3.692.0iT. The daily
average traffic is now 100000 passengers. and
the daily average receipts 22.000 francs, or

quoted to-day at s119. There already
twenty-three stations open to the public and
the work on the circular lines of the exterior
boulevards is progressing rapidly. and il is ex-
pected that in two years the whole metropolitan
system will be in operation.
Parisans have taken very kindly 10 the under
ground line. which is useful that people
have been wondering how they got on all these
years without it. The entrances to the stations
are light and graceful and take up very little

white stone stairways are thanked by glazed
white tiled walls admirably lighted with incan-
descent lamps. The interiors of the stations
are lined with white glazed tiles. with pro-

stations are in large white letters deep blue

repeated in blue and white over each adver-

SUPREME COURT COMMISSION.

The Justices of the Supreme Court
last Saturday announced their appoint
ees on the commission created by an
act of the last Legislature to assist the
Justices in The preparation Of opinions,
and in such other work of the court as
may be assigned to them. The gentle
men named are: Circuit Judge w. A.
Hooker, Of the Fifth or Gainesville
,Ocala Circuit; Circuit Judge E. C. Max
well, of the First or Western Circuit,
and Hon. James F. Glenn, a successful
Tampa lawyer.
The justices are entitled to hearty
CONGRATULATIONS upon securing the SER
vices of three such talented and cap
able lawyers and juriSts to assist them
in the tremendous task Of clearing up
the congesed docket which has ham,

Dreme Court for so many years. They
are also entitled to the thanks Of the
neople of Florida for the wise and
worthy seICctiCn Ms they have made.
Since the appointments have been an
pounced there need be no doubt what
ever that the Supreme Court Commis-
sion will render valuable service to the
State.
Judges Hooker and Maxwell have al
-oadv had extensive judicial experience
in their long service as Presiding
Judges In their respective circuits. Mr..

valuable and practical to fit him for

THE CAPITOL COMMISSION.

The act of the recent Legislature au-
thorizing the improvement and en-
larging of the State Capitol and max
ing an appropriation of seventy-five
thousand dollars for the same, also
made it the duty of the Governor to ap-
point commission composed of three
men who were to advertise for bids for
the performance of the work and to
make proper contracts with the sue
Aessful bidder.
Among the other important appoint
ments made and announced last week
by the Governor none were of more
Importance to our city and the whole
State than this commission. The Gov
ernor has been very fortunate in his
selection, naming therefor Hon. Her
bert d. Drain, OF Lakeland; Hon. Will
liam Blount, of Pensacola, and Hon. C.
M. Brown, of Oca4a. All of these gen.
-tlemen are wideIy and most favorably
known throughout the State. A better
commission could not have been select
ed.
Now that they are selected, which, by
the way, the Governor did at the ear
Iiest possible moment, as soon, in fact
as the law making the appropriation
went into effect, we can look for an
early commencement of the work. And
no doubt the next Legislature will find
a building ready for their occupancy

the requirements OF the State, and ont
that her citizens can feel prize il

To TELL A GIRLS AGE.

more difficult to discover than the ex-

which you can find out the age of any

FOR The GOVERNORS GUARDS.

The Governors, Guards will give
their friends an evening of rare fun
and enjoyment tomorrow (Friday)
evening at the ArmOry. They propose
to have a cake-walk, and those of us
who remember the last cake-walk
given by them last year can feel as
sured that they will have an evening
replete with fun and laughter. The
purpose of the entertainment is to
raise funds to help the boys in their
expenses during a trip to Buffalo,
where they wish to go and see the Pan
American Exposition. They want all
their friends to. come to their enter
tainment and assist them. Our SOL
dier boys deserve well of their many
friends here. They proved themselves
last May ready to respond to the call
of duty, when they hurried off to Jack
sonville at moments notice the night
of the disastrous fire. They went with
out murmur or protest, although that
very night they were having an enter
ment for their benefit at Munroe's
Opera House, and the unexpected cal
to duty caused their entertainment %
be financial faI4ure. At Jacksonville
they did their full duty, willingly and
cheerfully. hey therefore have a right
to expect that their friends will patron
ize their entertainment Friday night,
and by their presence prove their ap-
probation of their soldier boys. We
trust that theyw not be disappointed.
The price of admission, fifty cents, is
very small, and will be fully repaid by
an evening of unauOyed enjoyment and
hilarious mirth.

DOCTOR VS.. EDITOR.

The doctor from Bonanza says we
are running our paper for revenue
only. What in the thunder do doc
tors run anyway. One good healthy
doctors bill would run this Office six
months. An editor works half a day
for three dollars, with an investment
of $4,000. A doctor LOOKS wise and
works ten minutes for two dOllors,
with an investment of thre cents for
catnip and a pill box that cost $1.37.
A doctor goes to college a few years,
gets a diploma and a string of words
the devil himself can't pronounce,
cultivates look of gravity that he
palms off for wisdom, gets a box of
pills, cayuse and meat saw, and
sticks out his shingle a full -fledged
doctor. He will then doctor you until
you die at a stipulatd price per visit,
and put them on as thick as your
pocket will permit.
An editor never gets his education
finished He learns as long as he lives.
and studies all his life. He eats bran
mush and liver, and takes his pay in
hay and turnips. If an editor makes a
mistake he has to apologize for it,; but
if the doctor makes mistake he
buries it. If we make one here is a law
suit, tall swearing and a smell of sui
phur; but if the doctor makes one
there is a funeral, cut flowers and a
smell of varnish. If doctor goes to
see another mans wife he will charge
the man for the visit. II the editor calls
on another mans wife he gets charge
of buckShOt.
The editor works to keep from starv-
ing, while the doctor works to ward
off gout. The editor helps men to live
better, and the doctor assists them to
die easy. The doctor pulls sick mans
leg. The editor is glad if he can col
lect his bill at all. Revenue only! We
are living for fun and to spite the
neighbors-Dublin (Ga.( Telephone.
