Subway Tavern, model saloon
which was established by number
of leaders in TIE reform movement

One Florida Former.

Not long ago in the Short Talks
column of this paper, reference was
casually made to a certain Florida
farmer who would this year kill 100
hogs.
This simple statement seems to
have surprised some of our contem-
poraries beyond measure. The
Tampa Times, indeed, devoted the
best part of column to the matter
prefacing its remarks by saying that
we should by all means have given
the name of this remarkable Florl-
da farmer.
We have not the slightest objec-
ton to complying with our Tampa
contemporaries reasonable request
and trust that the gentleman him
self will enter none.
His name is major G. P. Healey'
and the model farm upon which all
these hogs will be slaughtered is
situated in Volhsia county, near Sc
Vile, not far from the Putnam
county line. 1t compromises some
90 acres, of which 100 are IN
peaches, which constitute valua-
BILE source of income.
The entire farm is practically a
hog pasture, the various crops as
they are removed, being followed by
equally valuable side crops, such as
meas chufas, velvet beans, etc.
mon which the stock is turned 10
forage for itself.
Major Healey's success mas no
doubt been largely due to the aPpll-
cation of business principles to
agriculture, and to keeping ever
lastingly" at it, .,,.
The trouble with farmers OF TINS
tyne often is that they cannot or VIII
not communicate the secret OF thelf
success to theif less fortunate breth,
ron although it must be confessed
tbat the highly successful Volusi"
county farmer in question has al
wavs been active in all movements
that seemed likely to promote the
General welfare or advance the IN

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The most inexcusable thing in the
world is to unjustly abuse decent cit
izen.
1t doesn't do people any good to be
old enough to know better unless they
are also too old to enjoy meanness.
Every man needs chart to tell him
the degrees of kinship In his family,
but his wife knows them so well she
can say them backward.
The truth about some people who
seem to be doing so much is that they
always put things off until the last
minute and then have to rush.
The early bird may get the worm,
but the late bird has as good an argu-
ment: He gets his rest which the early
bird misses and has never yet starved.
Be patient with the girl who takes
so long to dress By and by she will
be able to do up the work and dress
herself and three or four children In
half the time she takes for herself now.

Launching of "MaryL."

Capt. r. g. Ivory's new saif yacht,
the Mary L." was successfully
launched from his private pier at
the foot of Florida avenue last Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock Capt.
Ivory made the event an occasion for
inviting his friends and large COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen and
children were present.
Capt. Ivory, as master of ceremon-
les, was ably assisted by Capt. George
Crotty and Lieutenant Chas. Gowen.
Just prior to the launching Capt.
Ivory, from the stern of the boat,
made short address to his guests.
He had invited them simply as a
little happy diversion from the monoi-
ony of village life, and then he want
ed them all to see his boat, to which
he had given so much time in fitting
out, not only for his own pleasure,
but for the pleasure of any of his
friends who felt like taking a sail
with him at any time. 1t had been
stated that he was fitting out a gov
ernment boat and that it would
be equipped with guns. The boat
would carry the stars and stripes at
its mast head, but the only guns
aboard would be the big guns" of
Crescent City and these were invit-
ed to come aboard at any time"
At the conclusion of Capt. Ivorys
pleasing address Miss Miriam Payson
entered the boat with the proverbial
bottle of champaign with which she
named the craft. Then Capt.
IvOrys daughter, Mrs. Lynch, got
aboard and the yacht was cut loose
and glided into the water.
The spectators We're then invit' d
to Capt. Ivory's home where pretty
array of refreshments, consisting of
cakes, fruits, CONNECTIONS and punch
was served. The affair was an ex.
tremely happy one in its conception
and a success in every detail of its
carrying out,
