The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1903-01-08

The January number of the
Florida Magazine has for its
frontispice a handsome half tone
portrait of the pleasing face of
Honorable Cromwell Gibbons,
representative.elect from Duval
county and prominent candi-
date for speakership of the
House of Representatives. The
firmuess of purpose indicated by
the features of the honorable
gentleman leads us to the conclu.
sen that when the photograph
was taken from which the cut
was made Gibbons must have
had his mind intent upon his as
pirations for the speakers chair.

RESUME WORK
ON ARCTIC GROUP.
Melting Shows Will Stop Oper-
ations In Short Time-Will
be Continued Later.

L. p. Ostlund, owner Of the Arctic
group of claims In the Cracker Creek
district, returned to the property to
resume development work this week.
Mr.. Ostlund has been carrying on
operations through the winter months,
but will have to quit now In short
time on account Of the water in
the tunnels from the melting snow.
When the snow Is gone he will
continue operations through the
summer, fall and winter as he did
last year.
The Arctic group represents seven
full claims, about one mile from
the North Pole, on the same vein
system. Over 800 feet Of development
work has been done on the property.
So far average assays show good
ore carrying values from "a to sl5.
One assay made some time ago
revealed the extraordinary value Of
$4,000. MIR. Ostlund has designated
the locality As Arctic City. 1t Is
not much Of city, he says, aud In
order that the wayfarer may not pass
by without a knowledge Of it's
existence, he has conspicuously
posted its name on tree near by.
However, he says Arctic City, and
the Arctic group are to be heard
from later on.

rectly toward where / lay,
1T was spooky sort of sensation,
and | lay still, scarcely daring to
breathe, with my eyes fixed on the
approaching object, which swan de-
liberately across the creek. AS IL
crawled out of the water and up on
the shore i saw what il was. 1t was
big black bear.
THE bear paused a moment after
landing, and then slouched right on
| toward the camp fire, prompted by
genuine bear curiosity. The fire was
not more than 25 feet from the creek
"The discovery of the identity Of
the mysterious object and the rapid
advance Of the bear toward me broke
the spell under which | had lain.

stick from the fire, and hurled il at
the approaching animal, which was
then almost within an arms length
of me- The brand struck the bear.
Then like flash OF gunpowder the
poor beast burst into flames from
snout to tail.
with howl that filled the woods
with frightful echoes and me with
terror the blazing bear turned and
fed 10 the creek, and plunged into
the water. III he had expected TO
find grateful help there he was wo-

creek, from bank TO bank, and far

leaping fire, lighting up the gloom

There came from that roaring
food of flame one long, unearthly
wall of agony. For second | saw
the blazing form of the wretched
bear writhe In torture in the burn
ing creek. Then ] saw and beard
him no more.

At the shanty l learned that an oil
tank had sprung bad leak that
evening and before IL could be

oil had run into the creek and hoated
down on the surface. The unfortu-
nate bear had struck this inflamma-

WESTWARD THE swALLowTAIL
swell society Garb OF the Dominant
East M Ia IL Regarded In
Western Kansas.


Slowly but surely western Kansas
Is losing its distinctive social charac-
teristics by passing under the thrall-
dom of the dominant east, says the
kansas CitysJouaal. II is related by
the Hays City Republican that at
banquet, giyen by the masonic bodies
of that town one night lately no less
than six gentlemen appeared in cos
tune de rigueur, or, TO put it in the
language OF the region, "spike-taii
coats" This was the first function
in Hays at which the spike-tail made
its appearance. For number of
years there have been men in Hays
who were possessed of the garments,
but they were clustered sacredly from
the local eye, and kept only for use
when their owners were eastwardly
abroad. But now the ice is broken,
and no future function in Hays will
be without the swallow-tail. The
bonds of local custom have been
broken. A final breakaway has been
had from the rude period when the
ballroom attire of men was composed
Of boots, spurs, sombrero and six
shooters, and when the height of ele-
CANT manners was to invite your girl
after every dance to the bar to take
drink. And Hays is not alone among
the western towns in coming TO the
ways of the east. The same phenom-
enon is noted for its town by the An
thony Republican, and we quote as
follows:
The new crowd that is coming on,
sprouting mustaches one week and
shaving them off the next, practising
the courtesy and posing before the
mirror TO find the limits of lowness
for ball gown, is investing in raj
ment that BELTS the joyous and regu-
lar reveler. The spike-tail coats in
this town already number eight, al
though some OF the owners lack the
courage TO wear them at home. A
careful count locates % pretty dresses
cut round the neck to show the pretty
dimple over the collarbone nature
made TO hold a locket. There are IL
square-neck gowns that are very
fetching when their owners are in
them, and three gowns that are very
swell and low. One is so very low
that the lady who owns il, and Is
tritle plump, never dares TO sneeze
when she has il on"
1t is fact worth moralizing on.
however, that the women Of western
Kansas go with greater reluctance to
the attire OF their eastern sisters than
the men do to spike-tails. In any
western Kansas town, costumes such
ms are seen at carnival ball in Kan
sas City, for example, would create a
riot. That which the western Kansas
woman considers as daring decollete
is the simple low neck in which school
girls go TO the photographers in east
ern cities. Lacking possibly some OF
the graces of their eastern sisters.
those western Kansas women are pog-
sessed of rugged modesty which fora
bids such a display Of the naked per.
sonas eastern fashion has decreed. Ami
it will be long time before a func.
ton at Hays or Anthony can witnesn
such display of shoulders and bosoma
as is common in the region OF the spike.

when his life, whether in business or
in leisure, is methodical and un-
changing, and when things that divert
and give pleasure to others have be-
come a burden-then let him beware
of his own mind, for he knows not
what trick il may be making ready
TO play upon him.

THE YUCATAN TOE.
Free use of the Toes Among the Maya
People I'm Doing Many Kinds
OF work.

The toes Of civilized people have
lost much OF their cunning as helpful
members of the body in any work
that requires skill. The Maya peo-
pie OF Yucatan, however, have kept
the free-and-easy use of the toes in
doing many kinds of work. 1t is
said that the Maya women, who al
ways go barefooted, will pick up q
pin from the floor ms easily with their
toes as with their fingers. An
archeologist who has, spent some
time among that people in the inter-
est OF the Peabody museum, OF Far
ward university, tells the following
anecdote of his landlndy Mt Chichen
liza. says Youths Companion:
"Coming into the house one day,
the American noticed that the pig
had been rash enough TO trespass
upon the domain OF the mistress of
the house. The woman was in close
pursuit of the intruder, but piggy
would look in any direction other
than toward the door.
