clubman. twas one OF those fastidious
men who undertake to transmit in

carefully boiled first. The oysters
should then be added without the
liquor. The liquor should not be put in
until the seasoning is added Be very
particular to get good rich milk and
nothing but the best gilt edged butter
As for the oysters, 1 want Cape Cod

me. Do you understand

mental law" To correct It's dedcien-
cies. Now, look ON page SO Of the
municipal code and read Charter Of
the City of Pensacola. Being an act
OF the legislature, Approved May 81.
1895, as amended by chapters 50S7
and 50S8, Laws of Florida 1901" An
amendment merely enlarges the pow
ers of municipality and becomes a
part OF the instrument.
Now. Mr.. Cucumber, you are trcI-
Eled by the language of Mr.. Welles in
his recommendation to the council
calling for such additional legisla-
ton" as may be necessary to enlarge
the powers of the corporation or mu-
nicipality; in other words, amending
the charter.
In the third paragraph from the
close of your letter you say, 1t will
be noticed that amending the city
charter is not mentioned in the may
or's recommendation, etc" No?
Well see the result of his reeommen
dation: BE it resolved by the mayor
ana city council: That the senator
and representatives from Escambis
county in the legislature OF Florida be
and they are hereby requested TO use
their endeavors to obtain the enact
ment of law amending the charter o.
the city of Pensac cola in the following
particulars" ct seQuentia
In your last paragraph you say
"Mr. Bliss had about as much to do
with the matter as l had in shaping
the good roads question in Floriaa-
I think that will be admitted by any
one who has read the bill and resolu
| ton sent to the legislature.
A lawyer well versed in corporation
and municipal law said after readini
. them: IF that bill is passed by tn

biographers, but ii was gold that had
to be dug from the earth, smelted and
made pliable under the hammer. One
day she was overheard at her practic-

"I'H see whether l cannot make you
obey me-" she was saying to her voice.
I'll see whether you will obey me-"
For her the word impossible" did
not exist. II her voice was out OF or
der or her throat refused 20 obey she
accomplished amazing effects by sheer
force of will. Perhaps it was fortunate
that her career was not long one.
No human powers could have endured
the strain she placed habitually upon
this gift of hers
One day she executed shake upon
the highest notes Of her register. She
laughed then at the amazement OF her
listeners.
THAT brute of a note has given me

been trying to get ii for the last month
I tried it while dressing and while
was doing my hair. tried It when
was taking my walks and while was

putting her finger to her forehead.
