Jacksonville. Fla. April 13.--While the eyes of the nation are turned to- wards Panama and the great work Tn progress on the Isthmus, there ie so- ing steadily forward ip Florida an en- terprise which, in the opinion of ex- perts, offers many valuable sugees- tions to the men who are solving canal problems. The building of such raii- road as that how under constructor between Miami and Key west. over he'long line of the Florida Keys, ne- cessitates the employments of thous- ands of men, the handling of vast qquantities of material and supplies and the overcoming of many difficul- ties due to climate and toposrapny. Especially in the way tn which tnous. ands of workmen are enlisted ana managed without the intervention or contractors is there said 10 pc an op ject lesson as to the method by wnich the big ditch might best be dug.
 The points of likenefs are many, de- spite the apparent differences between the two enterprises, one Of which IS designed to enable steamships to nn- dertake the feat of mountain climbing; the other to send a railroad train 10 sea. For all practical purposes, Key West is as far from any consioerapie base of supplies as is the lsthmus or Panama. The climate. although In winter delightful, is almost tropical in summer Laborers, as well as maintenance and construction supplies. must be brought from a distance, many of them from as far North Us Philadel- phia and New York, and are, there fore, unacclimated Even the water supply for both men and machinery must be transported, much of t more than 100 miles, in tank cars and steam ers
 There's perhaps an argument in favor of the governments digging the canal on it's own initiative in the great undertaking of Henry M F1agler's. Not a contractor has been employed during the whole course of the work Both the operation of the main line of the road and the construction of the ex- tension are being carried on by the company itself under the immediate di- rection of MT. J. R. Parrott, the vice president of the company, and Mir. Flagler's right-hand man in all his en- terprises in Florida.
 Naturally, one of the most important items in the problem was an adequate supply of competent labor. From the first 1t was recognized that only un- der the best of condit Ions would men of the class required endure the isola- tion from town life and the natural hardships of the work The fact that twenty per cent of the men now en- gagged upon the work are old hands who were there last year. went North again to escape last summers heat and mos quito season, and at the beginning of winter returned ~c-a '"- we that

Mark Twain's Autobiography In North
 American Review.
 When l passed the seventieth milestone, ten months ago. I lnstntly realized that had entered a new country and a new atmosphere To all the public was become recognizably old undeniably old {: and from that moment everybody assumed a new attitude toward me-ths reverent attitude granted by custom to age-and straIghtway the stream of generous new privileges began to flow in upon me and refreshed my life. Since then I have lived an ideal existencce; and I now believe what Choate said last March. and which at the time I didn't credit: That the best of life begins at 7o for then your work Is done; you know that you have done your best, let the quality Of the work be what is may, that you have earned your hoiday-a holiday of peace and contentment-- and that thenceforth. to the sttling of your sun, nothing will break 1t. nothing Interrupt 1t.

At other places tents are pitched, at high points on the rocky little islets, and the construction force presents the appearance of a veritable army with its neat rows of white can- vas tents, It's well kept temporary streets and it's general air of martial spiek- -and-spanness
 At each camp there is commissary where supplies of the best grade can be had at prices corresponding to those prevailing in New York City. Many yachtsmen cruising among the keys purchase supplies of the railway company's commissariat General Shat tue, who was one of these recent pur- chasers, announces that the rations of the railway workmen are better than those furnished to the regular army, and that the laborers are fully as well housed and cared for as are Uncle Sam's troopers.
 Under such circums stances 1t is not remarkable that the gigantic task of building this seagoing railroad pro- ceeds rapidly and efficiently. Enor- nous engineering difficulties have been miles of swamp and low ground have had to be filled in with rock and sand in order to secure a firm roadbed The embankment across every one of the thirty or more keys which the road will cross Is built up entirely of cora line limestone, the material of which the islands are formed. After leaving the mainland. dredges were forced fairly to eat their way through nearly twenty miles of tangled mangrove swamp, a dredge proceeding slowly down each side of the embankment, digging a channel for its own passage, and building up the embankment with the material excavated. Two arms of .Iewfishg Creek, which separates Key Largo from the mainland, were filled in this way and the third has been spanned by a steel drawbridge, which is now in operation.

Counterfeiting on Decline. :.

The rem oval from this territory of H. B. Mills, secret service agent. to take charge of the Omaha office in the same work, brings to light the infor- nation that Alabama was almost free of counterfeiting during the past year and that the Treasury Department did not receive a very great amount of complaint from this section. There is always some work tor the secret agents in this State and two or more of these represen tatives will be given employment here. Eugene McAdams Is still here and successor to MT. Mills will probably be located either in Montgomery, Mobile or Birming- ham. A number of eases are etill pending in the Federal courts in this State which will require the presence of the secret service agents, but in sight there Is not a great amount of counterfeiting or other similar fraud ol. H. B. Mills has been in the ser vice many years. For quite while he was with the Presidents body guard and he has donu work in various parts of the countrQ. He stands high in the estimation of Chief Wukie and Is therefore given line territory in the Northwest.

A weli-l1nown and influential New

degree of attention to himself by the
persistency with which he has worked
in favor OF the plea Of the women

as men. y friend asked him: why
do you make yourself so conspicuous in
this movement? You cannot gain any
