THE "KID" RECOGNIZED
HIM

The skid" that asked, Glow big
was Alexander, paw, that people call
him great?" was not in it with the
little Florida boy who discovered the
greatness of Napoleon b. Broward.
Mr.. Broward has recently written
his autobiography. He wants to be
governor of Florida and he had a no
ton the people We're thirsting for a
more intimate knowledge of his
vealy days, when" as the author
says, che suffered from chills and
fever AMI was dosed with tartar
emitic."
The book tells all about these boy
hood days of Mr.. Broward, and,
taken all in all, is decided novelty
in campaign literature. The News
wishes that it might get into the
homes of all the people in Florida.
1t could profitabIy usurp the place
long occupied in thousands of fami-
lies by the medical almanac. Its
Jokes are safe and when taken in
moderate doses are more laxative
than emetic in their tendency.
Here is II section of Mr.. Broward's
book which gently, but none the less
effectively, leads the reader up to
knowledge or his greatness.
Note how it was left for 'little
child to lead them"
Listen to Mr. Broward:

When he was Il little boy he used to

and had to make his own way. Now
he is famous. He was q pale face

PUNISHMENT FOR WEAR
ING SONG BIRDS.

The agitation against wearing song
birds has reached that point where Il
BOston professor is reported to have
said that women who wear them on
their hats will never go to heaven
This is putting it rather strongly,
particularly as applied TO the ultra
vain woman with whom a bird on
the hat is heaven itself.
1T is poor philosophy, for if the
woman, by merely wearing bird ON
her hat doIics herself all hope of
heaven, there is no restraining innu-
ence left to prevent her going on
through the whole gamut of sins
1t is poor theology, for the best au-
thOrities in this still somewhat occult
science agree upon one point, and
that is that the punishment OF evil
deeds ought not to be reserved for
future life, but ought to be, to some
degree at least, apparent in this
world. In this the most eminent
Jews agree with the most up-to-date
mental gymnasts of the present mo-
ment.
Certainly, we have it in our power
now to punish the wearers of birds.
Social Ostracism is something pal
pable and definite. The averted look
of disapproval has more effect upon
the ultra-vain than have whole tor
rents of threats of eternal punish
ment.
There is doubt about hell. And
the bird-wearing woman can take
refuge in the doubt.
But few significant looks and
few significant remarks on the part
of her friends bring the penalty
home to the very spot where she is
most vulnerable.
And public opinion on this ques-
ton is growing in the right direc-
ton. Defense of song-bird wearing
never any longer has the temerily TO
show itself in public. So much has
been said and so much is being
thought against it that it is scarcely
conceivable that any intellectual
woman should be able to thus adorn
her vanity without secret blush of
shame.
II the birds have no rights, public /
opinion has. And public opinion has
power, too, that no wOman's vanity |
can safely encounter.
So there is no need to sit idle in
the hope that the next world will
bring punishment. The punishment
Is In our own hands,

THEIR TEARS ARE WASTED

Every two or three days the daily
newspapers will cite, in few terse
paragraphs, the pathetic story of some
young woman who is already to be
married, the wedding garments don
ned, the marriage feast prepared, the
guests hidden, and at the last min
ute the groom fails to appear, the
festivities are suddenly ended-and
the papers all say-"the eXpectant
bride is completely Frustrated"
That's where the surprise comes
in, because why should any woman
grieve herself to death over the de-
lection of such a dishonorable man?
Most certainly the shock of having
at the last moment her happy dreams
shattered into atoms is enough to
drive any girl to the edge of the
grave, and it is small wonder that
she is completely overcome.
Imagine the feelings of the young
woman who is placed in such try
ing position.
She has for months been happily
busy with her rousseau.
Into every stitch that she has put
into the pretty bits of clothing she has
sOwn love and sentiment. Her sweet
visions of the future are tucked away
in folds and seams. Her castles in
Spain are built on Il foundation OF
filmy lace and linen, as unstable as
the man whom she expects to dwell
with inner new home.
Then when all is complete, when
nothing is wanting but the binding
words, she is left alone, deserted, be
trayed, Inundated, mortified and
stricken to the earth in utter despair
And all for what?
For "a man so contemplate, so
despicable, so devoid of even YES
tige of honor, that he is not fit to
fasten the ties of her dainty shoes.
Tie poor girl, instead of sinking
into despair and crying out her
bright eyes, should just plump down
on her knees and thank her God that
she has been saved from linking her
fate with this apology for man.
TIL re are cases where man finds
that he has made IL mistake in his
feelings and if he is Il man, he comes
right out and has the courage to
say SO.
If he is honorable he gives the girl
chance to jilt him, or he stands by
his mistake.
That's what man as is man
will do.
But the one that isn't u man,
but just Il miserable, sncaking, das-
tardly coward, who will run away
because he has not the courage to
face the music, is so entirely beyond
the consideration of II sensible girl,
that her days and nights should be
spent in CALCULATIONS of thankfulness
that she is so we'll rid of him.
To grieve for such a man is IL waste
of tears. He is not worth the bat of
All eyelid.

At One Time 1t Was Practically .
Bar to Matrimony.
Mary as Christian name was held
in very singular yeneration during the
medieval ages, and in some parts OF
Europe there existed "A superstitiocs

auircd to change this name for some
other of less sGnctity.
All Marys were ut one time believed

ers in connection with the affairs OF
life. Bearing the same name as the
Blessed Virgin, they were considered
worthy of more than common consid-
Grafton, and their personal influence
over their husbands especially was UNI
usual; hence many men sought au-
thoritattvc ordinances forbidding their
wives to be known as Mary. Soyef-
cigns, in some cases, dreadlng suDJec-
ton to their partners, showed marx
ed distaste for Marys.
Thus Alfonso ~. of CASTLE, when on
the point of wedding Moorish maid

take this name. In the articles settled
for the union of Ladslas Of Poland

The Man Who'll BE Governor.

1t is evident that the opposition to
the election of Col. Rob't w. Davis,
of Putnam, as Governor of Florida,
is hard pressed for argument when
we read the unheard of reasons given
by the opposing candidates why he
should not be chosen. After reply
ing to these silly charges at a meet
ing few days ago, Colonel Davis
threw down this broad challenges: If
any man can show where ever will
fully or knowingly wronged II fellow
man, said he, ~ will at once with
draw from the race. Now if he had
been such a bad man as he had been
depict d, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that the opposing candidates
would have been Gn their feet at
once? There is no doubt of it.
The fact is, Bob Davis is head and
shoulders above any other man in
the gubernatorial race today, and it
is in no sense disparaging to either
of the other candidates to say this,
because they can be mighty bright
men, great statesmen and good men,
and then not measure up to his
shoulders in these respects He is
the Bl0Xham of East Florida, the
genial friend and companion of the
poor and the middle classes, ard the
same toward all today, tomorrow
and for all time There is nothing
sinister in his makeup. His big
heart trObs in sympathy with all
mankind, it makes no matter of
what degree, except that the poor
the needy, the distressed share more
largely in his affections because of
their needs. You have seen the
other candidates come to town and
walk down the streets, knowing no
one. When Davis comes it will be
different-as it has always been-for
it is natural for him to be cordial; it
is not effected for campaign purpo-

activity and the behavior OF ozone have
been pointed out by Prof. Richarz and
DR. Schenck. Prussian chemists. Fresh
1y prepared ozone and ozone that has
been decomposed by deozonizers have
the power OF causing condensation IN a
steam JET, and impart conductivity to
the air like the salts emitting Becquerel
radiation. Photographic effects OF ozone
have been observed. II does not act
upon barlum platlnocyanide or zine
oxide, but II causes hexagonal zinc
blende to fluorosce brightly, suggesting
massive ions comparable with the al
pha rays OF radlum. Platinum that has
been In contact with ozone shows In
duced radloactivity. II Is suggested
that the slight conductivity OF the at
mosphere and certain OF the effects OF
radioactive substances may be due
to the formation and decomposition
OF ozone.
