PLEASED WITH RECORD
OF CHAS. q. PARKHLLI
Palatka TlmesHerald.

lnasmuch as fidelity in the discharge
OF duty is rewarded in every walk OF
life, we are Of the opinion that the
people Of Florida should bestoW posi-
tons Of honor and trust upon those
public servants who have worked dill.
igently in their interests. Hons
Chas. B. Parkhill and James B. Whit.
feld have been tried on the supreme
bench and have performed the exact
ing duties devolYing upon them in a
manner pleasing to a majority Of our
citizens. These gentlemen now seek
to succeed themselves on the bench.
and we trust that success will crown
their laudsble efforts.
Chas. B. Parkhill is a native Flor
ldlan, was educated in the schools of
the state and in Virginia, was admitted
TO the bar in 1882, and soon took high
rank in the legal profession in Escan1-
bia. He represented that county in
the state senate in the sessions of
1889, and subsequently served his
section In various capacities until
1877 When he was appointed solicitor
Tor the criminal court Of record of
Escambia. In 1900 he was elected to
that ONCE, but four years later re-
signed TO become Judge of the First
judicial Circuit. The following wear
ne was called to the supreme bench to
MI the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton OF Judge Carter. Mr.. Parkhiu has
shown careful application, fairness
and conscientious discharge of his
duty and his services have been of the
highest order. AS an orator and iur-
ist he has few peers.
]. B. Whitfield has resided in Flor
ida all his life, and may be truthfuIlv
termed a self made man. He started
with little Of this worlds goods. and
what success he has attained has come
TO him by hard work and sheer force
OF merit. His public career began in
1888, when. he was elected Judge of
Leon county, but heresigned shortly af-
forwards in order to accept the Office
Of clerk of the supreme court. which
position he filed most acceptablv unit,
1891 In that year he was aDnointed
state treasurer and served in that ca
paclty until 1903 when he was made
attorney general Of Florida. He re-
signed this ONCE upon being rendered
a place on the supreme court bench.
Mr.. Whitfield has been faithful to
every trust repOsed in him, and his
services have been marked by indus
try and high order of ability.
Messrs. Parkhil and Whitfield
measure up fully to the high standard
demanded OF supreme court Judges.
and we bespeak for them the cordial
support Of our people in the approach
ing primary.

If you wear immoderately tight cor
sets continuously as a girl it will do
you all manner Of harm then and later
on. II you incase your body in a tight
abnOrmality OF steel and whalebone,
COMPRISING vital organs in an unyield-
ing grip, there is a resulting sense of
construction most irksome. 1t affects
your appetite; it interferes with your
comfortably digesting what you do
eat; 1t prevents the normal workings Of
the liver and intestinal tract, and al
together the pleasure you get out Of a
year or two with a small waist Is not
sufficient TO overcome the discomfort.

"Well, THERE'S your old saw. An
old saw is an old proverb."
"Why shouldn't you look a gift
horse in the mouth ?"
"Because-because it's in bad
taste. It's ungrateful and all that
sort of thing"
Cali what sort of thing?"
"Why, to look a horse in the
mouth that has been given to you
shows that-it shows that you are
not thinking of the giver, but of the
value of the gift"
''What would anybody want to
look horse in the mouth for?"
''To tell how old it is"
(After a pause.) "Papa, can you
tell how old saw is by looking at
its teeth ?"

Coincidences.

The late Lord Acton for many
years kept a record of condolences.
A very strange one occurred in his
own experience. A rumor spread
that his wife had drowned herself.
She had done nothing of the kind,
but it was quite true that a Baroness
Acton had drowned herself at Te-
gernsee, where Lord and Lady Ac-
ton were staying, and had drowned
herself under their window.
The strangest of all condolences
noted by Lord Acton concerned Sir
Edmund Berry Godfrey, who was
murdered at the bottom of what is
now Primrose hill, but was then
known as Greenberry hill, in Lon
don. Three men were hanged for
the murder. Their names respec-
lively were Green, Berry and Hill.

Wireless Weather
Bureau Service.

Some time ago The Journal an
rounced that It was the intention OF
the United States weather bureau to
Utilize the wireless telegraphy sys-
TEN Of the navy department to secure
reports Of weather conditions at 5ea,
particularly in the Gulf OF Mexico
where so many tropical disturbances
originate. The value Of such a Ser.
vice 10 mariners as well as to Gull
coast cities can hardly be OYeresd
mated and its Inauguration will add
greatly to the excellent service Of the
bureau. The New Orleans Picayune
OF Tuesday contained the following
relative TO the proposed service:
This is a matter Of extreme impor.
lance, for, although the weather
wizards on this southern coast are
constantly informed OF what is going
on in continental meteorolOgy from
the Pacific coast TO the Atlantic, and
from far up in British America to the
coast Of our Mediterranean and be-
yond, they are entirely ignorant OF
what goes on daily upon its waters.
The Gulf of Mexico is a body Of
water 1000 miles long and 500 miles
WIDE, and storms form upon its sur
face. or they come in through the
Florida and Yucatan passes, or they
cross over the Cordilleras Mountains
from the Pacific, and they are often
not heard Of until they strike the land
as they did at JohnsOn's Bayou, or
at Grand Isle, or at Galveston or else
where on the coast, then only after
they have wrought more or less dam
age.
If every ship navigating our South
ern Sea were fitted with apparatus for
wireless telegraph communication. and
would send reports to the weather
Office here, a grand addition would be
made not only 70 the completeness,
but 10 the immense value Of our sys-
TEN of weather observation and fore
casts. This public weather service is
OF extreme Importance, and the money
which the government spends o. it is
not lost but brings in interest
through the protection and warnings
Il gives it gives both to commerce
end agriculture.

BandnEea.

Bandages OF prepared gauze are too
inexpensive for you to waste much
time over making your own, but If
your medicine closet has no bandages
among its stores make up a few strips
Of an old sheet into bandages, rolling
them as tightly as you can and furnish
ing, each with a small, strong safety
pin. Before you've a chance TO replen-
ish your medicine closet a bandage
may be needed in hurry.

strsnath Of the Ant.

If a man mad the strength of the
ant he could lift 500 times his own
weight. Thus il the standard weight
OF man were $50 pounds he could
lift without undue exertion 100000
pounds. Think how such condi-
ton would affect the labor problem
or how it would express itself in
proves Of peace and war beyond
the widest dreamsi And if an ordi-
nary man was so strong how mar
velously more able would be San
dow of that race of Samsons!

A Word of Cheer.

Some little boys were running a
race, and all felt sure that Tommy,
the boy in the lead, would win, as he
was the fastest runner. Those look
ing on began to cheer the different
boys, and Tommy gradually fell be-
hind until he was the last one to
reach the goal. His friends gather
ed around, inquiring why this was,
and Tommy, wiping the tears from
his dirty little face, replied, 'You
yelled, Go it, JohnP Go it, jim
myP but there was not one yelled
Go it, Tommy and somehow / just
could not run at all" A word of
cheer frequently makes the differ
ence between success and failure.

Why the Bread Came Back.

A boy who had been working in a
baker shop for some time was Just
about to finish his trade. One night
when the boss was gone he broke
the marble slab he nodded his loaves
on, so he went to the marble yard
to secure another, but could not
find one, says Lppincotts Maya
zine. On his way back he passed a
graveyard, and as it was very dark
he jumped over and pulled up a
small headstone about the right size
and took it back and finished his
job. The next day after the bread
had been delivered nearly all of it
was sent back. The baker looked at
it and broke several loaves open, but
found nothing wrong. Then he hap
pened to turn one of the loaves over
and found on the underside of every
loaf the inscription: "Here lies the
body of Mrs. -. Born A. D.
1852; died A. D. 1740."
