A Wen Dressed villain.

Willful Debt is often we'll dressed
villain who pretends to be an honest
man. In olden times if a man could
not pay his debts he was looked upon
in the same sense as thief and sent
to Jail. Under the old Roman law,
after spending certain time in jail, if
he was still unable to pay his creditors,
he was sold into slavery and had to
pass his life as a serf. Some one might
say that such q condition is very hard
and unjust. and so it is. But, in many
cases, when a man will deliberately
enter store and run up a heavy bill,
which he has no intention of paying,
he is just as much a robber as the
sneak thief who rushes into the bakery
and steals a loaf of bread, and he
should have little mercy shown to him.
The debtor not only steals the grocery
mans goods, but he steals his time and
his service.
Many a man who for years has de-
Hberstely run up all the debts he can
is today walking around our streets
claiming that in the sight of the law
he is honest. After deliberately SWIM
ding all the men he could he puts the

Orange Blossoms and an Orange Grove

Charge of it,

A Tampa Tribune New York special
says:
The wedding of Miss Juanita Ce-
bAllOs Hewitt, of Ardsley-on-H Hudson,
n. Y, to Mr.. Rufus L. SewalI, of
Boston, is an event which has gather
ed a number of friends prominent in
New York and Boston. The wedding
ceremony was performed at the resi-
dence of the bride.
The wedding gifts were numerous
and valuable and among the many
which were received, none caused
greater interest and comment than
one which represents for the first
tune the products of Florida and
Cuba. In satin box, covered with
orange blossoms, there was a deed, a
gift from the brides father, for the
Juanita orange grove at CeballOs,
Cuba, and a contract for the cultiva-
ton of one thousand orange trees.
The trees were furnished by and the
cultivation will be under the direct
management of Mr. NJ. f.. Gillett of
Tampa, Fla, manager of the Devel-
Opment Co., of Cuba, on whose land
the grove is located, and his able as.
sistant, Mr.. y. K. Kelsey, superinten-
dent, CeballOs, Cuba.
An interesting feature, also, was the
receipt of a cable from Mr.. Kelsey,
which was delivered to the bride with
many other cOngratulatOry dispatches
from friends in Europe and this cOun-
try. The dispatch reads as follows:
