Perhaps the power of Henry M. Flag
Ter to labor for the development of
Florida and the good of her people largely
passed away with the beginning of q
war waged against himself and his bust
ness associates by q combination of
forces drawing their strength alike from
the nation, from the state and from pop
ular opinion. Within the reasonable linn
its Of his life IL is, perhaps, too much to
hope that such destructive agencies will
lose their power in the rebound of q
better understanding based on fuller
knowledge 80 completely as to leave him
free to complete the works 80 carefully
and thoughtfully undertaken. But that
rebound must come, and in the near fu-
ture IL will be seen that he saw our
needs before the statesmen charged with
the duty Of providing for them, and that
the work he has done is not only typical
of the American Of today, but largely
prophesies for the America Of tOnor-
row.
Struggling upward from the position
of an average American boy, his busi-
ness ability took possession OF the weap-
ons offered all his kind, and he handled
them with consummate ability. Grasp
ing these, he hewed broader road then

many business enterprises of exactly the
same character with many others that
used the same means and measures the
summit being attained in q particular
instance only because the same weapons
were handled with greater skill and
aimed with better effect.
But, having reached the pinnacle Of
business success, Mr.. Flagler did not
stop. The eye that saw the possibilities
of the East Coast of Florida when IL was
yet wilderness and provided the means
by which that wilderness was TO be peo-
pied was the eye of q statesman, and
not Of business man only the selec-
ton Of the men and the methods by
which his dreams were to become reali-

Talk about stubborn juries, It does
seems that some of the most unreason-
able men in the world are called to hear
cases In the courts Ii you have the
least doubt of this just get yourself
drawn on the jury, and then notice how
absurdly the other fellows on the Jury
will disagree with you, and insist on re-
turning an altogether wrong verdict
We have heard more than one man
complain that the other eleven were all
dunderheads, and there was no reason
nor sense IN them, and in fact we have
been there ourselves. Noting the
trouble twelve men have, all good and
true as jurymen should be, we some
times are tempted to believe that the
famous jury that decided the fate of a
man on trial for his life by a game of
seven-up were not so far wrong after
all Then there Is that other story
about tossing a coin, and that other one
abont drawing straws, and in fact there
are lot Of them. One case we recall
was decided by a bout with boxing
gloves. 1t was out In Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, the home of Bryan, that this par
ticular man was called to serve on a
jury. He was a very small mSn as to
body, but he was big IN capacity for de-
Gliding that special case. There was an
other little fellow on the jury, and the
two little ones wanted the accused ac-
quilted, while the other ten thought he
was guilty. The foreman was a great
big, double-fisted fellow, Of the prize
ring cast of countenance, and he carried
things pretty much as he wished with
the ten. He made up his mind that the
man on trial should be punished, and
that settled 1t, except for the two little
fellows. For several hours the jury re-
manned locked up with locked horns.
1t was nearly midnight when the fore
man thumped the table with his big
fist, and then leaning across it 80 as to
bring his ugly mug close up to the little
leader of the minority two, he demand
ed "Are you fellows going to give in
10 reason, and vote with US for conVic-
ton 1t looked like he was ready to
swallow the recalcitrants without salt,
buS the little lender piped up as best he
could mo, we will not give In !"
Then we ten will. We've got more

Selfshness Is the curse of humanity.
It is the prolific parent Of more mean
ness, more downright, innate cussed-
ness, than any other principle of human
ity. Selfishness is idolatry. It is an
idOlatry of the most debasing and de-
grading character. Selhshness is self
love. The selfish-hearted individual wor-
ships himself instead Of God. Self is the
center and circumference Of the selfish
mind. All his hopes, aims and ambition
originate from selfish impulses and ideas
The narrow, contracted limitations of q
selfish mind forbids and prevents those
noble and generous emotions productive
Of human JOY and happiness; conse-
quently, the selfish individual is a
stranger TO the pleasure and happiness
of q generous deed. Yet the selfish per-
son often initiates generous deed. But
he does It for q selfish purpose, does it,
perhaps, \to win the god opinion of 9TH
ers for selfieh purposes; consequently,
he cannot enjoy his Own generosity, for
it sprang from an unworthy motive, and
his selfish heart begrudges his own gen.
eTosity. Thus, instead Of kind and gen.
erous feelings animating his heart, the
selfish individual is envious, hard-hearted
and c0vetOus, ever seeking the advan-
tage Of his fellow-men, and desiring to
obtain what his neighbor has without
giving a just and adequate compensa-
ton.
The selfish person processes religion
with q selfish motive. His ignorant and
superstitious mind fears the devil i'm
stead Of God. Therefore, he proposes to
deceive God and cheat the devil by a
profession of religion. He becomes a
model church member, in time is made
deacon, perhaps. And then how sancti-
monious and self-righteous he becomes.
On Sunday he puts on his fine suit and
his fine religion and leads in prayer
with oily righteousness. On Monday he
puts on his business suit and proceeds to
cheat, deceive and make money. In
time he grows rich, sleek and dignified,
and "a prominent, leading citizen" At
last he dies, full of years, of wealth,
honor and famet And. The Lord |
God livethl Where art thou, oh, man! |

ABROAD, AMERICANS
ARE UNCONVENTIONAL
,ecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June S.-There are some
Americans WHO come abroad who refuse
to do as the Romans do, and conse-
quently let themselves be singled out
for attentions which are frequently not
agreeable. Particularly is this the case
in London, where conventionality is so
strong and where evening dress of some
sort is a rule everywhere.
Into the palm room at the Carlton a
few nights ago, just after dinner, when
the room was filling with men and
women in evening dress, there wandered
a young American whose father is a
man of wealth and prominence. The
young man wore a lounge suit and
muddy boots and carried a straw hat.
He sat down and naturally was con-
spicuous, so much so, in fact, that
when the manager saw him he was
greatly distressed and went over and
asked him to please change his dress
before entering the room again in the
evening.
Men are not the only offenders in this
respect, for women seem at times to
evince a lack of sense Of the fitness of
things, as In the case of three who
came into the same room about o'clock
an evening later with their day dresses
on, Baedekers in their arms and their
hats on, after a days hard work doing
London. They sat down in the middle
of the room and began to stare at
everybody and drew much attention to
themselves. In this case the manager
could do nothing.
But" he said, ''if some Americans
who come over here would only realize
how such carelessness strikes for
eigners, and that it really Injuries their
fellow countrymen, they might be more
particular.
Dozens of persons in the room said
to me: Those people are Americans;
one cannot expect any better of them
This Is unfair. I know thousands of
courteous, refined Americans who come
over here, but it shows that people
generally may be condemned by the
acts of the unfortunate few of their
kind"

WOMEN TALK MORE;
USE LESS BREATH
Special Cable to The Herald.


PARIS, June S.-Dr Marae, the in
ventor of voice telegraphy, has discov-
cred why husbands invariably are
worsted in arguments by their wives.
He says:
"A woman can talk four times as
long as man with the same expendi-
ture of energy. 1t is merely a question
of the amount of air which escapes
from the lungs during phonation, and
as a woman's larynx is narrower than
a mans and child's than a woman's
it is evident why children can prattle
for hours at time and why women
can maintain the fatigue of conversa-
tion so much more easily than man.
DR.. Marae made his experiments to
determine the effort expended on speak
ing. He 1nds we expend the same en-
ergy when we talk for an hour as when
we lift the weight of half an ounce
three feet in the air. Every second
when an orator speaks in hall he
works as much as a porter who shoul-
ders luggage weighing 400 pounds.
