One Too Many.

A speaker at the bankers convention
who had digested the statistics gave
out the interesting information that
there is one embezzlement day re-
ported among bankers in the United
States. 4
This is interesting to the man who
thinks that because there are bright
gold letters on the window it is "a
safe place to put his money. He ought
at least first to stick his head in
through the window and ask earnestly
If any of the officials are thinking of
embezzling the funds and, IL SO. how
soon.
1t does seem as though some Of the
congressman who are now telling us
from the stump what wonderfully fine
fellows and great statesmen they are
could frame up some kind Of a patent
attachment to the banking laws that
would train the would be embezzler to
be honest, even il he lost money by
the operation.

steady and alert. a natural reader of
men. he had the outward semhance of
the most lamblke of our species. Con-
fidence operators perceived him Instant
ly in the midst of crowds. and he ac-
quired vast knowledge of their tricks
without paying a penny.
With no great appetite for wealth,
he, yet made money. Even while in
college he engaged in various queer
ventures upon capital of a few hT
dred dollars, a legacy from his las
near relative, and at the time of gradu-
alton he was known to his few init
mates to have some thousands invested
in stocks. After college he spent sew
erar years in leisurely travel from one
end of the country to the other, study
ing the whole question of its industrial
development in his own odd way, and
In the course of this random pilgrimage
he increased his earthly possessions
about fourfold. And then he came up

brief day it had been capitalized at
S10,000,000 and had sold stock and
bonds, the proceeds being absorbed by
the cheerful swindlers at the head of
the enterprise. The road was to con-
meet two state capitals, and construc-
ton had been begun at both ends, but
had never reached the middle. A GER
tain number of investors had had their
period of mourning, and the percentage

by towns and little cities along the
route of the road. The political manip-
ulation by which they We're induced to
buy had been a notable feature of the
original bunko game and had smirched
many regulations. The deal was by no
means forgotten. 1t was now unsafe
for any public official even to mention
Capital Cities stock. and. though it had
no value, not a share could have been
sold without arousing dangerous popu-
lar clamor. So Mr.. Dreamer was forced
to go over the heads of these local Of
ficers.
1t was impossible for him to get con-

hat and was about to depart when
thought seemed to strike him.

THE PICKtRTS
AT TOWN HALL
Play Three Nights and one After
noon to Crowded Houses.
BEST OF THE SEASON

for Bringing Attraction Melted
Club Good Commission.

The four Pickerts and company were
the attraction at the town hall this week
playing to large audience ON Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
Wednesday afternoon, presenting a diff
ferent play at each performance. This
Is strong company and the acting of
the leading parts was excellent.
On Monday night 1.-THE Fatal We'd
ding was played and the company
was greeted by a large audience, who
appreciated their efforts to please.
Confusion" was the title of Tuesday
nights performance. This is u comedy
from beginning to end, in which baby
and pug dog become the central figures
of general misunderstanding.
At Wednesday afternoons Matinee
was presented "Cinderilla or the Glass
Slipper" The school children We're in
evidence at this performance, and all
were delighted with what they saw and
heard
isis Hopkins" on Wednesday night
is considered by many who saw all the
performances to have been the best of
the series. This is one of the old home
stead plays that have had such wonder
full success lately. There is comedy
enough to satisfy, without detracting
interest from the plot, which is worked
to happy conclusion.
The four Pickerts presented specialties
at each performance, and their dancing
is by far the best seen here in long
time. Their stunts include music, songs
and clog and jig dancing.
The Fort Pierce Improvement Club
is to be thanked for this rare treat,
and it is to be hoped they will continue
to engage good companies during the
remainder of the season. This club is
making for the town Of Fort Pierce
good and lasting improvements and
should have the support, sympathy and
encouragement of every citizen.

KEY WEST
EXTENSION
r. Lockwood Moss interviewed
by Tribune Reporter.
TWO MONTHS ON KEYS
Trip Made in the Interest Of the Florida
Photographic Concern Many Fine
Views of the Work Secured.

Mr.. X. Lockwood Moss, of the Flor
ida Photographic Concern, returned
home this week from two months
trip to the Florida Keys, accompanied
by Mr. o. o. Poppleton, of Stuart-on-
the-St. Lucic. This extended trip was
made for the above concern to get
views of the interesting places on the
Keys and the unique railway construc-
ton on the Key West extension of the
Florida East Coast Railway.
In speaking to a TRIBUNE reporter of
the work being done on this extension
Mr.. Moss said:
Few people realize what progress is
really being made with the construction
of the road, nor can they appreciate of
what magnitude the undertaking is.
When you know that of the entire dis
lance from Miami to Key West only
sixty-five miles of the road will be on
the keys, and that for the rest of the
distance the rails will be laid thirty -one
feet above salt water, you can begin to
grasp an idea of the colossal undertake
ing and why it is considered all over
the country such great engineering
feat. 1t also shows the supreme con-
fidence of the promoters in the future
of Florida.
There will be seven water openings,
each twenty-five feet, and three draw
bridges which will aggregate 40 feet.
Key Largo is the first key the road
touches and is the largest on the line,
being about thirty miles in length; the
railroad traverses only about eighteen
miles of the key, however. Then comes
Plantation Key and so on down the
keys to Stock Island, and then into
Key West.
"There are some six thousand men
in camp scattered from the mainland
to Key West, some cutting out the
right-of-way, building the grades and
others on dredges building embank-
ments across the waterways. An in
teresting feature of the work is the
division of the different races into sep
arate camps. One camp, especially
composed of New York Indians, pre-
sents a unique picture, and they seemed
thoroughly familiar with their work."
While there Mr. Moss took many in
teresting pictures Of the keys aud the
work being done on the railway. He
also brought back many "reminiscences
of his two months sojourn on the
Florida Keys.
