The Pound Of FLESH story.

Eleven different versions of the
pound Of flesh story exist in the early
literature Of Europe, none Of which is
founded on a historical basis, save one
related by the biographer of Pope Six
tus V. The original tale runs as follows;
Simon Censda, a Jew, enters into wa
ger with Sechi, a Christian, stalking a
pound of his flesh against large sum
Of money of the Christian. The Jew
loses the wager, and Sechi insists on his
forfeit. The case is referred to the gov
ernor of the city, who in turn places it
before the pope, who condemns both to
lifelong Imprisonment, from which they
are finally released on the payment Of
heavy fine. An Italian, Giovanni
Florentino, in the sixteenth century
was the first to change the roles of the
Jew and Christian, and in this altered
form the Bard of Avon found the story.
The poet himself could scarcely have
known any Jews personally, since they
were expelled from England 300 years
before his time and were not read
mitted until after his death. From
stage presentations, from descriptions
in books or from popular reports,
which were always derogatory to the
Jewish character, the poet derived his
knowledge Of the Jew.-MenOrah.

Tulip and Poppy Dangerous Flower


The florist held a tulip in his hand.
'Some people claim that tulip has no
SMELL" he said AS a matter of fact,
it has a dangerous smell. Take tulip
of a deep crimson color and inhale it
with profound inspiration, and it will
be apt to make you light headed. You
will say and do queer things-dance,
sing, fight. swear and so on. For two
hours you will cut up in this way.
Afterward you will be depressed.
1.-The poppy is another dangerous
flower. 4 young woman of nervous
temperament, if she fingers among a
bed of peoples, will grow drowsy, the
same as If she had smoked pipe or
two of opium. In Asia Minor, where
the opium manufacturers cultivate
vast fields of peoples, tourists inspect
ing the beautiful flowers often become
altogether incapacitated. They get SO
sleepy they can hardly talk. They
reel in their gait. In some cases they
have to be put to bed. Boston Adver-

WINTER TOURISTS !
BY THOUSANDS
MORE PEOPLE IN THE STATE
THAN EVER BEFORE AND
MORE ARE ARRIVING
DAILY.

While the tourists are still pouring
into Florida by the trainload from the
North, the East, the West and the
great Northwest, the railroads are al
ready beginning to arrange for hand
ling the return tourist travel from
Florida, says the Jacksonville Times
Union
Representative of various lines
connecting with the lines out of Flor
ida. are in the state talking of the adj
yantages offered by their respective
lines, and many of the railroad repre-
sentatives are distributing literature
telling of the delightful summer re-
sorts that can be reached by their
lines.
There is no doubt that there are
more tourists in Florida at the pres
ent time than ever before in the histo-
~ of the state. In past years the hO-
tells in some sections of Florida have
been crowded to overlooking, while
hotels in other sections were doing
poor business. This season it appears
that every hotel in the state is doing
a splendid business.
In commenting upon the rush of
tourists to Florida during the present
season, the Savannah Morning News
of Wednesday contained the follow
ing:
Florida is just full of Them said
Mr.. w. H. Leahy, division passenger
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line yes
terday. Tourists have literally been
pouring into the Lana of Flowers. the
travel TO Cuba is heavy and there are
more tourists in ThOmasville, for in
stance, than there nave been before
in the history of that city.
1.-The transportation of these tour
lists back to their homes will necessi-
tate a heavy movement of trains.
Where did all the people GO be-
fore they began coming South? Well,
it is hard to say; many of them went
to California. One reason that they
are coming South in such large num-
bers is that the railroads have pro
yided very fast. through schedules,
and the most luxurious trains. For
instance, one can leave Chicago on
one of our trains at lis p. m. and be
in Jacksonville at 1855 p. m. the next
day, without leaving his car. except
to go into the dining car. You can
leave New York on our Florida and
West Indian Limited at 1925 a. m. and
take 2 o'clock lunch in Jacksonville
the next day.

were unheard of. and would have been
thought impossible

GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD
rheumatism and Other Blood Dis
eases are Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills,

"In the lead mines l was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness and extremes of
cold," said Mr.. J. G.. Meukel, of 1915
jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, III de-
scribing his experience to a reporter,
land it is not surprising that l con-
tracted rheumatism. For three years l
had attacks affecting the joints OF my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
and knees became SO swollen l could
scarcely walk on new ground and q
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me SO much pain that l
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and I did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. By
chance Tread the story of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of
Dubuque, who had a very bad case of
rheumatism. / decided to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, I
was much better and in three months /
was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, / could
work steadily and for eight years l have
had no return of the trouble My whole
family believe in DR.. Williams Pink

GETTING ALL THE MILK.

At the Vermont dairymen's meeting,
Professor Hills stated that the pro-
cess of milking might be so conduct
ed in its operation that a pound of
milk or ounce of butter more might
be obtained than in the usual method
as practiced. This plan would con
sist OF a proper manipulation of the
udder and force exerted on the teats,
a drawing down motion thai would
tend to a more free letting down" of
the milk. This, with g%entleness and
carefulness in the entire operation,
particularly the finishing off in the
milking or getting all hat the COW has
to give.
Where possible it is better for each
one to have his OWN particular COWS
to milk than to take them as they
come. 1t is often found that certa,a
will do better when MIXED by
one person than by another. Then
there should be g~entleness and care
fulness on the part of the mixer per
forming the work in a reasonable
length of time, and getting all the
milk. in this way the COW will be in.
duced to mold out in milk and not to
become dry too soon as the result of
