It is always a matter of interest to
the citizens and voters to know the
men who offer for public Office. The
subject of this sketch is no doubt
known personally to as many citizens
OF Florida as any other man in public
or private life within her borders to-
day; and while this is true, there
may be some who would be glad to
know more Of the career of this gift
ed Floridian, and brief sketch of
his life and achievements at this time
may be appreciated by all.
Charles B .Parkhill, son of Captain
George w. and Elizabeth Bellamy
Parkhill, was born in Leon county on
his fathers farm June %, 1859. His
father was captain of Company NJ,
Second Florida Regiment, Confed,
crate States Army, and was killed in
battle in Virginia when Charles was
three years old.
After the war was over his mother
moved back to her native county Of
Jefferson, where Charles was reared.
He was educated in the public schools
Of Jefferson county, at Randolph Ma
con College, Va, and at the Universi-
ty of Virginia. He was admitted to
practice law in Tallahassee in the
summer Of 1882 and settled in Pensa-
cola at the close of the epidemic Of
yellow fever of that year, and the fol-
lowing year was one of the volunteers
to guard the city against the possible
introduction Of the disease again into
the city. He represented Escambia
county in the state senate in the
regular and special sessions of 1889,
and with the Hon. Frank CLARK and
Captain Walters of Hillsborough coun-
ty as subcommittee draughted the
State Board Of Health law.
He was attorney for the State Bar Pi-

The ''IrOn House"
BY WILLIS EMERY
Copyright, 1906, by Charles EEheringtcn.

HAD spent the evening at theater
with my clients, Mrs. Desborough
and her daughter, and we had
tried, with fair success, to exclude
from our conversation all reference to
the very thrilling drama Of real life in
which we three were cast for leading
Roles. Miss DesbOrOugh, indeed, seem
ed to shake her mind free Of it with
ease and heartily to enjoy the play up
on the stage, but there were long inter
vals when beheld the actors with no
comprehension Of what they were
about, and it was the same with the
elder Of my companions. Often was
sware that she shuddered and started
as il waking from no pleasant dream.
Then knew that she had been think
ing Of our adversary, Richard Stend-
hail. whom she feared with the sim
plicity Of superstition as though he
were the devil. Sometimes in such mo-
ments she would cast a quick glance
at me as if,I were her sole reliance in
this just contention.
Upon the whole, it was a highly emo
tonal evening for me and for this rea-
son keenly delightful.
When had parted from Mrs. Des-
borough and pretty Miss Alice after a
b$ Of supper II was past midnight.
EAsld, clear and with a growing moon
cow falling toward the west. Twas ir
no mood for sleep. Ny mind refreshed
itself upon its own delight, and so it
happened that 1 took a long detour to
pass by Stendhalrs home-the "Iron
House" as it is called, because of the
abundance Of that strong metal In and
around il.
There is a tall iron fence upon the
avenue side. and the black arch over
the great gate rises twenty feet at
least. The cumbrous bolts were al
most on a level with my eyes. The up
right bars which / took hold upon were
bigger than my hands could clasp.
This formidable structure, seemingly
designed for giants. dwarfed me in
body, yet enlarged my spirit. for in
the dark mass OF that great house there
was a single lighted window in the
second story. and believed that Stend-
hall burned his lamp so late to seek for
refuge against my attack.
4his was by no means the first time
/ had stood before his gate. His house,
so ponderOusly defended. the courtyard
always deserted By day and crowded
with black shadows BY night, had ex-
ercised a strong fascination upon my
mind long before dreamed that the
