some of whom We're very pretty.

The elderly lady pushed the two girls

at the card, then knocked at the door.
There was a sound of a latch moving
as some one within pulled a lazy
string" the old lady pushed open the
door. aud there behind a desk by
window sat a young main studying.
Bob, don't you know me:"
''Why, certainly said the young
man with his tongue While his express
sion clearly indicated that he did not.
You're Bobby Bewster aren't you:"
The young man looked perpleXed.
Evidently there was some mistake, but
in such matters it is best to proceed
with caution so as not to give oneself
away. The student cast his eye up at
a card hung against the wall on which
was printed in old Roman letters "Fes-

Oid.Time Chess PLAYER,

Car, August Walbrodt, whose death
is reported from Berlin, was one OF
the wellknown masters of modern
chess and among the Germans was
ranked second only to Tarrasch. He
was only 30 years old, yet had been a
conspicuous player for about dozen
years. His early successes were re-
markable and unbroken until 1894.
when he was beaten by Tarrasch.
He was a player of the intuitive sort
and could never be induced to take up
the profound theoretical studies In
which most German chess players de-
light.

THE NEWS AND 1908.

The Palatka News is a result achieved from the ANAL
gamation of the Paatka Advertiser The Crescent City
News and the East FlOridan. With this issue the pa
per- its present shape and under its present manage
ment enters upon it's second year. The entrance is
made under the brightest auspices and the paper takes
its first peep into the year full of happiness and
hope.
The past year has been one of steady growth in crcu
aton and business The circulation the start result
ing from the ANAL amatiOn above referred to, prob
ably greater than before enjoyed by Putnam
county publication. The increase has been steady and
of such character to insure permanence Merchants
and business men have recognized the value OF the pa
per advertising medium and have accorded it a
generous patronage During the closing weeks of the
year requests for advertising space from local dealers
were so numerous that the utmost limit of the papers
space was taxed to meet the demand
Hundreds of applications for space from bad-breath
destroyers, liver scapng remedies pn-worm eXtrac-
tors and constipation laXatves have been dumped into
handy waste basket and thence to the fire place
regular weekly cleanup days. The publishers do not
intend to nauseate their readers by pokng such stui
under their eyes week after week after the manner of
the philistne
The News is published in the interest of its owners
and their interests are now and must continue to be
tremendously reciprocal to those Of the people who con-
stitute present and prospective readers 1t cannot
therefore, treat those readers aggregation of super
anuated tape worms, retain its self-respect and
hope to prosper
Our efforts shall be more and directed to the
building up of Palatka and Putnam county We have
great county and thrifty and intelligent people. We
shall cater to their thrift and intelligence and not treat
them of chronic blsters by giving up our most
valuable space to confidence men instead of our own
live and honest business
The News has made mistakes in the past. 1t will I'M
doubtedly make of them but its aim to excel
a reliable and newsy county paper.
During the year that is gone it has said many things
it ought not to have said but there heap more
things it ought to have said that it has lodged. it,
sins have been those of omission and commission
but there yet lots of health in it, and during the yea
1903 it will be the aim of the publishers to make thu
News better paper than and one worthy the sup
port and confidence enjoys this the opening day
the New Year, when it extends to and all the com
pliments of the season.

AND STILL THEY COME.

Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong is going to write
a book. He has seen a good deal of the world and
feels literary ambition impelling him to put his
thoughts on paper.
The book, if he persists in writing it, will sell.
1t will sell because the world if it does not forgive
at least forgets and because if man should stran-
gle his mother and set down the details in print.
there would be readers who know nothing and care
nothing for the sacred side of life
Once Putnam Bradee Strong was q real man.
His old mother used to see him i'll his uniform, the
picture of statuesque honor, breast out shoulders
back-her soldier boy
Why, that woman was so proud of him that tears
of Joy filled her eyes when she thought of what he
was and what he might be. "Her boy could do
anything-be anything-and his face was toward
the top of the ladder
Then he broke her heart
He ran away with a cheap-a very cheap woman
beautiful in an animal way; and with no morals.
And he got so low that public ty almost lost its
power to sting him. He lost has friends, his good
name, much of his property; and yet, with dog
like fidelity, he chung to the creature who had
ensnared him. This captain of the United States
army pawned her jewels. 1t was not good sight
for the world. 1t made an old woman pray for
death.
Strong married the woman. Why, no one can
say. 1t was a sop to decency, but 1T didn't add a
1.-THE of respectabiIity to Captain Strong the
woman.
There should be two books written. One should

Strong. The other should contain picture only
a picture of gray-haired woman, with streaming
eyes, gazing at the picture of a soldier boy who
threw his fortune and good name away for painted
