SOME SHORT
STATE STORIES

TO view the State with impartial
eyes,
And see how the land of Florida
lies.
Editor Lambright, the accomplished
word purveyor of Wallace Stovalfs
Tampa Tribune, is to start magazine,
it seems, from the following item from
that excellent paper: THE Peninsular
Magazine" which promises to be the
hest effort in that direction yet made
in Florida, is soon to be issued in this
city The first number will be out
about October IS. The publishers are
Mr.. Edwin D. Lambright of the Tri-
bune. and Mr.. Hewett Hill, OF the Tri-
bune Printing Co. They have made
ARRANGEMENTS which insure a publlca-
ton which will be a-credit to Florida.
The feature of the first number will
be a handsomely illustrated article,
dealing with the famous Gasparilla or
ganization of this city. A more def
mite announcement of the plans and
scope of the magazine will be made
later" No man in the state is more
thoroughly adopted to such a task
than Ed. Lambright. who is easily one
of the most versatile and accomplished
writers in the state. His real literary
ability and fine touch are of a sort
that too often seem thrown away in
the hurry of practical newspaper
work, but in a magazine they should
have full scope AS for Mr.. Hill. he
Is known from Tampa to Jacksonville
as a good business man and an expert
typographical artist With two such
men at the helm, the new venture
should certainly 'land" all right.
Talking of Tampa, the irrepressible
MACK" Towne is said to have stirred
I'D a veritable hornets nest by the
introduction Of that resolution, which
is going to do so much disastrous
things TO some of the county officials
salaries" At least, so thinks the
Tampa Herald. which goes on to say
that still there are scores of good
men in Tampa and Hillsborough coun-
ty. who have said they would be glad
to hold these same jobs for the
amounts named in the recommends
ton. Mack is smiling serenely, as he
is receiving letters from all over the
county and state, complimenting him
on the bold but sensible move he has
made"
Albert Gilchrist has now been home
from Europe long enough for the state
papers to be getting onto him, and
here is what the Tampa Tribune, for
instance, has to say OF the big-hearted
gentleman from DeSoto:" General
Gilchrist has returned from Europe,
full of enthusiasm and impressions.

"The Price of Money"
Considered.

A very instructive little parable,
apropos. of the late Russell Sage, is
now going the rounds
According, to the story, an acquain-
tance-for such men have no friends
one day asked Sage why he chung
so desperately to the business of
money-making. you can't use it
you can't eat it."
To this the venerable financier is
said to have made answer by asking
his interrogation if he had never play
ed marbles when a boy. Upon being
answered in the Affirmative, he ex.
claimed triumphantly: well. what
did you keep at it for? You couldn't
eat the marbles-you had no use for
them"
And here this instructive little
apologize ends. But how much more
instructive it would have been, had
the poor rich mans inquisitor pro-
ceeded to point out to him that little
boys play marbles because they are
idle and too empty-headed to find any.
thing better to do; and that his
crushing comparison had, instead of
closing the controversy, simply thrown
a new light on the intellectual and
spiritual poverty that leads men to
pursue the game of money-getting
when they already have more money
than they know what to do with.
Other multi-millionaires have made
practically the same confession. H.
H. Rogers, of Standard Oil fame, not
long ago virtually said of his absorb.
ton in business that he shouldn't
know what to do with himself if he
quit the game.
And the point of it all is that such
confession is in reality a confession
not of capacity, but of incapacity-of
mental sterility, intellectual barren.
ness, and the inability of enjoying
the freedom that money is popularity
supposed to buy.
Everything in this world, in short
must be paid for-eYerything has its
price; and it Is evident that "the
price Of money" is sometimes alto.

Montgomery Journals

The death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis
in New York has caused the greatest
sorrow In this, the Cradle of the
Confederacy, of which her late hus-
band was the first and only president.
Mrs. Davis came to Montgomery
about March 4, 1861, little over two
weeks after her husband was install
ed at the head of the Confederacy.
She broke up housekeeping at their
home in Warren county, Miss, and
went to New Orleans, where she
spent some days. Later she went to
Mobile, and came to Montgomery
from that city by boat on the Ala
bama river, joining her husband, then
quartered at the old Exchange hotel.
She remained here until May 20, 1861,
when the family went with Mr.. Davis
to Richmond, to which place the seat
Of government had been moved. She
did not come to montgomery in 1866,
when Mr. Davis was here to dedicate
the Confederate manument. OF her
stay in Montgomery, Mrs. Davis. in
her memoirs of her husband, says:

PENSACOLA PHILOSOPHY.
BY Sam B. Russ.

Success spoils more men than it
helps.
Many a man has done evil to please
good woman.
There is always page somewhere
in the book of life that We want to
skip.
When a pretty woman cries it is
often sign that there Is a man in
the immediate vicinity.
The difference between passion and
love resembles the difference between
prose and poetry.
"Thtere is plenty of room at the
top" as the rogue said when he
mounted the gallows.
How few of us ever realize that it
is as selfish to seek the good things
of the next world as it is the riches
of this.
A woman's first child-a mans
first love-and a girls first long dress
are three Of the most lasting mile
stones on the road to the grave.
The men who succeed best are not
necessarily the best. but simply those
who are best adapted to their sur
roundings, be they good Or bad.
