over there's Harry Brown from St.
Augustine;
And when you see Harry, be sure you
have seen
AS much of pure manhood as nature
could chuck
Into one hundred forty-odd pounds of
Canuck.
If he's fair sample, it's my honest
opinion
We ought to proceed 10 annex the
Dominion.
With an instinct for news, like a
beagle's for bunny,
Or bee for the flower where reposes
the honey,
He gets up a paper brim full of the
OF the worlds daily doings-and that
is no dream!
For he's one of the brightest and best
of the crowd,
And is making a Record Of which we're
all proud.
That man over there VINO looks like

But he isn't, he's shamming-is brother

Who keeps up at Gainesville private
grave yard
In which every few months he plants
a fresh sward
Ger the mound where he's laid to a
rest, calm, eternal,
Some political opponent, or some dead
rival journal.
Like Ulysses S. Grant, he is sparing
of speech,
And like him, when once he endeavors
| to reach
Some object or end, though Fate other
wise plot it,
He'll keep hammering away with a
will till he's got it.
That bald-headed, sad looking man
over there
Who, to judge from his face, carried
more than his share
OF the worlds weary burden, by day
and by night,
Is our moral philosopher, good brother
White
OF the Fratneral Record, a magazine
dealing
With the deepest Of thought and the
finest of feeling.
He's a student of men and a reader

He loves a good joke. and can turn

That Sake would have envied, so neat
ly 'twere done,
With a heart full of brotherly love and
an eye
To the main chance, he's laid up a
goodly supply
Both of friends and of lucre. and will
soon settle down
At No. / Easy ST., Jacksonville town,
To live and to dream, like the old
Eastern Mails,
In peace and content, with his books
and his badges.
Next comes Brother Harris, calm, seri-

In intellect, honesty, courage and

In all that pure nobleness claims as its

He's the peer of the proudest the state

And here's to the hope that he's going
to get there.

WHAT HUNYADI JAN0S is
The origin of the Name.

In Hungary, in the 18th Century,
there lived a wonderful mana great
soldier and wise statesman-whc was
principally instrumental in driving
back the "Unspeakable Turk" and
keeping him out of Hungary at the
period when bands of these marauders
were ravaging most of Europe By
his victories IN war and peace this
man endeared himself to the people
and gained great and permanent
place I'm the Nations history His
name was HUNYADI JANOS, or John
Hunyadi as it would he in English.
To the present day. i'm the affections
of all HungaTians. he holds the place
of one Of their greatest national
Heroes. Is it strange then that they
should wish TO give this honored
name TO one of their most wonderful
natural Droducts-the famous Mineral
Laxative Water from the Springs at
Ruda Pest? The unfailing value of
this water as a sure and gentle Nat
ural Laxative has gained for it a
world wide reputation, greater even
than that enjoyed by old John Hun
vadi in Hungary. A bottle costs but
a trife and contains many doses. One
dose half a tumblerful (drunk on
arising, slightly warmed for best re-
sults). will within an hour move the
bowels gently but copiously. At all
Druggists. Ask for Il by the full
narne-HUNYADI JANOS.

EARNEST PURIFIER is HE
VIRTUES ARE PROCLAIMED TO
WONDERING EAST.

Reed SmOot, apostle and senator, Is
one of the great reformers Of today,
according to W H. Moore. Moore is
the individual who posed as a good
roads exponent and entered the politi-
cal game with Smoot in the Utah Good
Roads convention to humiliate former
Governor Heber NJ. Wells. On the sub
Ject the Cleveland Plain Dealer has the
following:
Last year was a busy one for Presi-
dent ". II. Moore of the National
Good Roads association and his
associates. He was at the HoIlenden
yesterday. In their private car Mr..
Moore and the other officers of the
association Travelled 1900 miles,
through twenty-seven states and two
territories.
During these extensive jaunts, 122
conventions were held, at which the
good roads propaganda was spread
broadcast. The last convention was
held in Utah, and was presided over
by Governor Cutler and Ex-Governor
Heber NJ. Wells.
Our canvass and tour of Utah,
covering a period of several weeks. .
said Mr.. Moore. gave us a thorough
knowledge of it's social, agricultural
and commercial conditions. We met
the leading men of the state-Mor-
mons and Gentiles engaged in political
and commercial life. We met the ac-
tive and ex-pOliticians. We visited
Provo, the home city of Senator Reed
Smoot, and held a convention in the
old Mormon church of that city. with
over 5000 in attendance. The depOsed
ex-Congressman Roberts ana Senator
Reed SmOOt spoke in that convention
Wherever we went we studied existing
Utah conditions.
I'VE met President Smith and ter
of the apostles of the Mormon church
We learned much Of the life and char
acter of Reed SmOOt. We met his
faithful friends and bitter opponents
When we discussed his home life
never did we find a man or woman
Gentle or Mormon, even insinuate
that Reed SmOOt had ever lived OF
advocated a plurality of marriage Or
the contrary, he was the original Oh
first apostle OF the church to advocate
and congregate delegates at Salt Lake
in 1901 from all countries, where Nor
monism is established, and in that
important and representative conven-
tion he stood up and fought the bitter
est opposition. when he declared That
plurality Of marriages must forever be
abolished from the creed Of the Nor
mon faith He won his great reform
battle. He vigorously opposed and
fought the nomination ana election OF
ex-Congressman Roberts, who is q
! Mormon with plural wives.
IA Reed SmoOt is one OF the great
Areformers of the century. He has
tdJne more to purify and place the
Mormon faith on a level with Metho-
dism, Presbyterianism, Judaism and
Catholicism than all the apostles from
Brigham Young to President Smith
the reigning president OF the church.
Il do not believe the sound wisdom
of the members of the American senate
will be Influenced by biased infOrma
ton. but upon a thorough investigation
of facts will vote in favor of Senator
Reed SmOot holding his seat"
