DITCHING THE EVERGLADES
POWERFUL DREDGE is CUTTING
CANAL THROUGH SWAMP.
Dipper Ofthe Machine Makes Six Dips
Minute. Removes Three Square
Yards of Muck Each Time.


Yards of Muck Each Time.
The new dredge Everglades, which
was recently built under the direction
of the Board of Internal Improvement
Fund of Florida, is working full time
near Fort Lauderale cutting the big
canal which is to unite the waters of
Lake Okeechobee with those of the At
lantic ocean.
Between a quarter and a half of
mile of canal leading directly out into
the Everglades toward the big lake
has already been completed and the
dredge with its powerful machinery is
daily eating its way to the westward.
Parties who have Witnessed the work
of this powerful dredge declare that
its work is simply marvellous. The
rock rim inclosing the glades is now
being cut through. This is the most
difficult part of the work, yet it is stat
ed that the ponderous dipper of the
dredge cuts through the limestone as
if it were egg shell. 1t is not neces-
sary to cut out the large trees that
happen to be in the path of this mon
ster piece OF machinery, as it gathers
them up in its great dipper and re-
moves them with little difficulty.
The ponderous dipper of the dredge
takes six dips every minute, and re-
moves three square yards of muck and
rock at each dip. Thus far the boat
has established record of cutting
out canal seventy feet wide. seventy
feet ahead and ten feet deep daily. 1t
is stated that the dredge is the most
powerful ever used in that part of
Florida, and that its work excites
wonder to all who see it.
1t is declared that it is dredging out
rock that have to be blasted out of the
way of the dredges that have been
formerly used on the east coast.
The second dredge is nearing COM
pletion at Fort Lauderale. 1t will be
put to work to assist the other as soon
as completed.

HADLEY ON ROCKEFELLER.

Says John DIS. Business just as Crimi-
nal as Burglar or PickpOcket.
Attorney General HadleY, of Mis-
souri,, in an address declared that the
Standard Oil Company's system of
business is as criminal as the business
of the burglar or pickpocket, and that
justice requires that every state legis-
lature enact and enforce laws which
will mete out the same justice to great
corporations carrying on business in
restraint of trade unlawfully as to
men who rob house or pick pockets.

FATHERS NHUMAN TREATMENT
he stopped Boys Talk BY Wiring
His Tongue.

Because Regnault Hasbrook of
Trenton, N. j., ten years old, threat
ened to tell the police of his fathers
extreme cruelty toward him, it is
charged the father wrapped a piece
OF wire around the boys tongue and
frightened it with a stick until the lad
became almost paralyzed. Policeman
Walter Greene arrested the father,
Albin Hasbrook, who is thirty years
old.
The treatment charged toward the
boy consisted of hanging him by the
thumbs, depriving him of his meals
and whipping him in most cruel
manner.
The neighborhood is up in arms
against the father and will do it's ut
most to have him punished.

Ravaged by Insect Pest.
The declaration that specimens of
the true boil weevil had been discover
ed on cotton plantations, five miles
south of Hattiesburg, Miss, has
aroused no little excitement among
the planters and factors. The identi-
ty of the insect is vouched for by w.
E. Clark, who resided in Texas many
years, and is familiar with the weevil
and declares that the insect now raw
aging the farms in Perry county is
the genuine article. The pronounce
ment of Professor Bamberge, the ex-
pert stationed at Jackson, on the Per-
ry county insect is awaited with keen
interest.

THE TRUE LIFE.

The true life is not thinking or
dreaming, but doing. To wait for
great opportunities, which may never
come, is to miss the little within our
reach. For as sure as the house is
built brick upon brick, and stone upon
stone, so the little deeds, the daily tri-
aes, the apparently ordinary actions,
comprise their aggregate human life
and human achiet ement.

Pesru-na Should Be Kept In

Where There Are Little
Children.

Peruna should he kept in The house all

eick, then send TO drug store. But,
have Peruna on hand-accept no sub
stitute.
Children are especially liable TO acute
catarrh. Indsed, most OF the affections
of childhood are catarrh.
All forms Of sore throat, quinsy,
Group, hoarzeress, laryngiis, ETC., are
but different phases of cntarrh.
Pe-ru.na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Pcruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that il
contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna, II taken according Ia printed
directions, is perfectly harmless. IT. can
he used any length of time without
acquiring drug habit. II does not
produce temporary results, but il Is per-
manent In its effect.
IT has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarth by re.
moving the cause Of catarrh.
