THIS BEGGAR WAS RICH.

Paris, Dec. 1O.-An old man, Err
nest Guyon, was brought up at the
Paris Central police court charged
with begging. On being searched he
was found to be in possession of a
certificate of $4,000 worth of COVER
nment stock in his own name, also
of a French postoffice savings bank
book containing $3.50 and sum of
$160 in cash.
Where did you get all this money
from?' asked the magistrate. at
is the fruit of life's work. he said.
81 have been professional beggar
all my life" He was sent to the
prison for week. 1t seems cheap
at the price. The other day in a
quiet street in Paris there was a beg
gar lying on the ground apparently
i'm the most abject misery, only able
to humble and hold his hand for
aims.
A pleasant looking little woman,
neatly and cleanly dressed, and whe-
cling a preambulator in which there
was a plump baby, moved up the
street and looking to see that no one
was observing them, approached the
man. Instead of giving him aims,
however, she handed him food in a
parcel and gave him the baby to kiss.
and took the money he had been col
lecting. 1t was his wife on her way
to do the shopping.

Is thought that they have already

According to all indications drawn

the nominee the Indiana man does
not desire to again serve as chair
man of the national committee, but
that IL Tom l.. johnson, of Cleveland
is to be put up as a candidate for the
craftsmanship Taggart might be
candidate against him, and perhaps
force the selection of a third man
acceptable TO both Bryan and the
committee. The name of former
United States Senator Pettigrew has
been mentioned as a possible candi-
date.
Much opposition to Mayor Tom l..
Johnson as nationaal chairman has
developed among the, committeeman
and party leaders. Some of the COM
miteemen are strong in the sentiment
that johnson lis not the man for the
place. They declare that while he
has been successful in politics, and is
Democratic in many things. he is un-
Democratic in others. and that only a
thoroughbred should be elected to
fill the important position of chair
man of the new committee.
II appears now to be the purpose
to hold Taggart prospectively in the
race with view of forcing Bryan
to abandon Johnson for some man
more acceptable to the members OF
the national committee.

SUGAR FACTORY AT AULT.

Ault, Colo, Dec. 11.-Ault may
have a sugar factory and the PROPOSE
ton is being agitated with consider
able fervor. The farmers say there
will be no difficulty in securing acre
age. Wyatt Bros. who own a large
farm east of Ault, have offered to do-
nate 40 acres for the factory site.
They believe that the water of lone
Tree Creek, which runs through the
ranch, will be sufficient for factory

that if the Wyatt proposition is ac-
cepted that the Union Pacific rail-

I thirty feet square, Is covered with a
sort of cheesecloth A few weeks
later the tobacco is transplanted to
the fields. This explanation is nee
essary to understand the character
of the first depredations upon the
non-society farmers.
In the beginning their plant beds
were destroyed. The young plants,
| just prior to the time when they
would be ready to set out, were
torn up and burned, and the beds
were scraped until no vestige of veg
citation remained upon them. 1t was
then too late for the farmer to pre-
pare another bed. Frost always
either kills tobacco or Injuries it very
materially. And the crop does not
mature until it is almost time for
the early frosts. So those farmers
whose plant beds were destroyed
were deprived of the opportunity to
raise any tobacco.
There were frequent raids on the
plant beds. Later in the war barns
containing the total crop of some
farmers were burned. Then nom
society farmers were taken out of
their homes at night and cruelty
beaten. The state authorities made
little or no effort to suppress the
crimes and the criminals grew al
ways bolder. AS is so often the case
men used the cloak of public senti-
ment. for public sentiment was
strongly for the society, to satisfy
private revenge. After a time the
property of the antitrust men were
DESTROYED along with the property of
those who stood for the trust. This
was the case at HoplSinsville Satur-
day morning, for one buyer who was
classed as an independent was beat
en-. One independent and one as
sociation ware house were destroyed
Now the sentiment is against the
raiders. The Society of Equity at a
recent meeting denounced them and
raised a fund with which to prose-
cute them. They are thugs who des-
erve no mercy at the hands of the
law and the law abiding people will
see to it that they are punished as
they deserve.

some one leaving the house from the
opposite side of the hall, but was
afraid to go there. This morning
she discovered that a suit case and

The school superintendent OF
Florida in convention assembled OPP
pose state uniformity of textbooks,
and we respectfully suggest that this
verdict should close the debate. A
vote form au the teachers of the
state is the only decision that would
be more authoritative, but in default
of this, the opinion of the superin-
tendents should avail. OF course the
legislature has the power to override
this, or both, of these, but even then
the moral force would remain with
the teachers and with the officials
who speak for them. Teaching today
is profession for which special train
ing is required, and the teacher
worthy of his place is an much an
expert as a physician and the aver
age legislator is no better qualified
to override a decision of the teach
ers applicable to the schools than he
would be to dispute a diagnosis made
by a competent physicians. And for
the benefit of the governor We may

CLEAN AND HEALTHY TOWNS.

One Of the chief duties Of men and
women is to make their home cities
attractive. and it Is gratifying to
know that in Florids Village: I'm
provement Societies have done much,
and are still doing much, to beautify
their respective cities. Some of these
associations are composed almost en-
tirely of women. and to their zeal eff
forts much is due for the cleanly,
healthful and attractive appearance
Of their towns. There are cities that
are naturally attractive only for
their excellent facilities. and there
are other cities which were made
beautiful by nature, but in them all
there is an effort being made to es-
tablish or to preserve the beautiful.
Nothing mars the appearance of
any city more than neglected and
.filythy streets and tumbling-down
buildings. 1t is a recognized truth
that nothing makes quicker or more
lasting impression for good or bad
upon city visitors mind than clean
illness. Clean streets, well kept lawns,
trees sprayed and in foliage, alleys
free from litter. fences in good re-
pair, chimneys free from airy-look-
ing ehinkS-all these small matters,
looked after by citizens, means an
advantage TO "a city the value of
which can scarcely be reckoned in
dollars and cents. This keeping up
of the small affairs best represents
the civic pride which is so attractive
a feature of life in any place. The
Norwich Bulletin says that the city
that has clean streets and neat ap-
pearing homes, and well kept parks
and healthy shade trees. and reason
able taxes, has the best advertising
that can possibly be given it.
One of the things that Jackson
vile people pride themselves upon is
it's clean streets, and with this fol-
lows good health. A twin where foul
air pervades it at night Is to be shun-
ned. Health cannot be found or
maintained where neglected streets
