AN EXTINCT FLORIDA rOwN.

The Wehawitchka News gives
the following account of the pres-
ent appearance of the old town of
st. Joseph, once the most flour
ishing seaport of Florida: At old
ST. Joe millions of brickbats and
whole brick mark the site of the
town that once had from 5000 to
$1,000 inhabitants. The only i'm
habltants we saw were about fifty
head of cattle and pair of sand
hill cranes. Yet this place, back
in the 30's and 40's, was the most
important place in the state. 1t
was here the first Constitutional
Convention was held, and came
near being the capitol of the state.
Yellow fever in the early 40's de-
populated the town and from that
time on it went down. Many of
the houses were moved to Apa-
lachicola. We visited the old
cemetery and found many graves,
but only ten with inscriptions to
identify them. The vaults, made
OF the best brick, had been opened
and bones can be seen. The fences
around the graves had fallen down
by fire burning the posts, yet to-
day, some sixty years afterward,
the pickets are sound as a dollar.
From all reports, st. Joseph was
a wlde-open town, gambling iii
sight on Sunday as we'll as week
days, and it is said there was not
a church in the place.

The total gold held in the vaults

The total gold held in the vaults
of the United States treasury on
the night of July 81, just passed,
was 1904 ,354 197-the largest
amount of gold ever held in the
treasury at one time in the history
OF the government. The holding
was made up as follows: Gold re-
serve, $3.50, 100000; fund to Sc
cure outstanding gold certificates,
S293 ,535, 500, and cash on hand
$61 1855 The gold held
against the gold certificates, how
ever, is not the property of the
government, but a trust fund
which can be used only for the
purpose of redeeming the certifi-
Gates when they are presented.
Deducting this, and adding the
gold certificates that are in the
cash balance, the treasury holds
in gold belonging to the govern
ment $248, $50, 69S, which passes
all previous records.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

AMBITION REALIZED.

About forty years ago a ragged
little boy named Tommy" used
to sit on the piers at Glasgow and
watch the boats skimming over
the waters. He was neglecting the
messenger service for which he was
paid so cents a week, but he could
not help that, for the yachts fas-
cinated him.
One day he said: When grow
up to be rich man I'll have a
yacht of my own, the finest and
fastest that was ever built. Sud-
denly Tommy" disappeared and a
letter postmarked New York told
the old folks how he had run away
to America to make his fortune.
Prosperity proved somewhat coy.
but the young emigrant managed
to save enough to pay his way
home to Glasgow.
That boy declares to-day that
his first trip here made him, for it
taught him yankee shrewdness
and enterprise.
His father had managed to
amass fortune OF $500 and this
whole amount was advanced to
start the young man in business in
a little provision shop. This was
the humble beginning of Sir
Thomas Lipton's $50 stores in all
parts of the world.

AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.

A certain man journeyed along
llfe's highway. He met with some
pleasures, he encountered some
obstacles, but in general his varied
experiences were those common to
most men. After time he died.
Unfortunately his death occurred
before he reached the years of
three score and ten, and before his
cherished plans had matured.
However, he had been a kind
father and left a legacy to his
family. The legacy was the house
In which he had lived.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS QUITE
HEAVY MORTGAGE ON THAT HOME.
This was not all exceptional case.
A decided majority of men having
mortgaged homes die with the
mortgage still unpaid.
Who was the more unfortunate,
the man who died, or the family
left behind with that mortgage on
their hands?
Why do you take the risk, by
lyour death, of unloading upon
iyour wife and children the Job of
paying off that mortgage?
If you do not pay off the mort
gage how i'll the world do you sup
pose they ever can?
Men die, mortgages never-they
live on.
| A mortgaged home is not much
OF legacy after all, is it?
The things men love the most
often cause them the most anxiety.
How happy you could be if your
home was free of lncumbrance.
| That mortgage must be taken
care of, Ill some way.
Suppose you place the response
blllty Of payment of that mort
gage on some one else.
| Who will take the responsibility?
Suppose you make an agreement
Tor contract with financial insti-
| tuition of such size and age as to
leave no doubt as to its stability
and strength. Have the contract
provide that a certain sum of
money be paid to your wife and
children in case of your death, so
that they can pay off the mort
gage, or, if you do not die, that a
stipulated sum be paid to yourself
! in old age.
Why not avail yourself of the
security afforded by a contract
combining the best elements of
Life Insurance with those of the
Savings Bank; i. E., protection for
dependent ones now, and cash for
yourself in later years?
Would it not be wise for you to
lay aside out of your yearly saw
lings, the amount necessary to pur.
chase such u contract 80 that
whether you die, or whether you
live, that mortgage will be paid!
Better defer the final payment
Of the mortgage a few years rather
than take the risk, by your death,
of its not being paid at all.
If You would like to learn, more
particularly, the advantages, OPP
erations and guarantees of such a
contract as just referred to kindly

month and day of your birth, to
