an African princess, or 10 some other
equally heather position. Then the lone
white road of her life would stretch out
before her, and her heart would grow
faint within her as she thought of the
weary days she must spend teaching her
dirty little charges in the dingy school
room.
Having progressed as far as the front
steps of her boarding house, Amanda
found that the rain was coming down
in earnest, so she began to struggle with
the patent spring on her umbrella.
This spring was a new invention which
effectually prevented one from raisinc

her voice more insistent than vanity's.
so Miss Amanda went briskly M the
street in the rain to board the car.
AS she stepped timidly up on the plat
form, her crimps shedding little streams
of water in her eyes, her hat a sodden
wreck, her umbrella the driest part of
her outfit, she encountered the frank and
friendy regard of pair of brown eyes.
Miss Amanda blushed and then paled
as she thought OF the unlovely state of
her crimps. She was in a tremendous
dutter when she finally found a seat and
deposited her damp bundle of lunch be-
side her. Opening her green reticule
she peered into its capacious depths in
search of dime; then she thrust in her
hand, and finally the offending bag was

"iN- CONVICT sTRiPEs.-
To Be Seen st the Opera House Feb
 rpary II.


 rpary Ii.
 The villain of Tn Convict Stripes, the new play to be seen al the opera house on February 11sh, is one of the most hardened characters in stage lore. To gain his desired end he will stop at nothing-slander, attempted murder by poison and by dynamite and not one life, but two or three, he is willing to sacrifice How he is tbwarted in. his deadly doings would make excellent reading, but it might duh the interest in this attraction.
 Tn Convict Stripes" is one of the strongest plays of a generation-it is fraught with heart interest, but through it's sensational episodes there runs a touch of odd comedy which acts as a relief from the tragic in- tensity The drama does not suffer from over-elaboration, as the author has not strained for any unnatural ef- fleets. As presented in this city the play will be in the hands of a com potent company of players, and their uDiEU SnOI lS mCeSAS all S1 l1SSN f'N- formance Special attention has been paid to scenic detail, and an i'm portant feature of the production will be the effective stage groupings for the climaxes A realistic view of southern convict camp will be dis closed ;n the third act, and other scenes include The Old School House, The Old Southern Farm and the Guard House Of the Convict Camp. All the scenery has been painted from photographs taken from the originals. During the third act one of the most sensational scenes ever witnessed is the thrilling rescue of the little child from her dangerous hiding point, by the hero, who swings from the top of high cliff on a giant. crane used for hauling rocks, and. pulls the child to safety.

MR.. HEARsT's FRIENDS.

Jobs friends were a greater Attic
ton to him than his bOils.
And some other man once exclaim-
ed in anguish and bitterness of spirit:
"Oh, save me from my friends"
If Mr.. Hearst's friends in other
states played with him as they did
in Florida he may well make the
same exclamation.
When the first conference of Mr..
Hesrst's friends was held in Jack
sonville the statement was sent out,
land so far as we know has never been
officially correctedl that no one was
wanted to cooperate in the move
ment who was not friendly TO the
candidacy of Mr.. John n. G. Stock
ton for the United States senate, and
great qualification was expressed
at the absence of Mr.. Claude L'Engle,
editor of the Jacksonville Sun and
Labor Journal, who had the distinc-
ton of being the first Hearst advocate
in Florida.
The editor Of this paper, who was
president OF the first Hearst club or.
ganized in Florida, was also not invit-
ed, and one paper went so far as to
say that the room of such men was
worth more than their company.
If the men back of this conference
were sincerely for Hearst were they
treating him rightly?
Should they not have attempted to
make all factions a unit for their
favorite.
But instead of which they attempt
ed to ride their senatorial gladiator
into office on the Hearst boom.
If Mr.. Hearst's friends have played
him the same way in other states it
should not be a matter of surprise
that be is right-aIong losing delegates
In the different states.
Poor Hearst!
His worst enemies are his friends.
