LIQUID FAMINE

The Tampa Herald's correspondent
at Tallahassee, Frank L. Huffaker.
writes of Dry" Tallahassee as fol.

Dry again, b'gosh!
Drought, awful and indescribable,
again prevails in the Capital City,
much to the>injury and discomfort OF
the bibuIous ones of the crop OF
statesmen holding forth here at pres

land equal to those of another nature

fortunate lana of Canaan in the days
when Joseph frisked among Father
Abraham's cattle and sheep in that
fearfuIly and wonderfully construed
coat that got him into so much great
trouble with his big buddies,' causing
them to initiate the city of Tampa in
the line of deportation, thereby plac-
ing the unfortunate youngster in range
with the enhancing Slances OF Poti-
phar's wife
But. TO be brief some months ago,
as generally known, the good
women of Tallahassee put on their
rainy-day skirts and began prohibit

a victory for them in the election

Immediately upon the closing o:

stories tending to show that the garrison
when 1t capitulated. the Slovo even alleging
mistreatment of the inhabitants of the

The majority of the papers, however. re-
sent criticism In advance of the official in

ranted, denouncing 1t as shameful and COM
pairing it to the persecution Of Marshal
Bazaine following the surrender of Metz.
On account of the death of Grand Duke
Sergius all of the plans for a big public
ovation for Gen. Stoessel have been counter
manded and the man who few weeks ago
