Editor Mayes of the Pensacola Jour-

ZIONIST. Later, he said that he intend
ed to discuss the issues involved in
the local option campaign in his coun-

The Journals editor discusses the
issue in a way that shows that he's
right at heart and heavy in the upper
story. He is both an able and a
worthy man; he's right, and the Star

Advice TO Democrats.

much essential difference between
the policies of Mr.. Bryan aud Mr.
Roosevelt. Both are radicals" and
both, should they be the candidates
next year, will be advocating a mon.
strous departure from the old ideas
OF both parties. and both will have
violent opposition in the ranks of both
parties. What will become of the

The Taft Opposition.
There will be in the next national
convention practically 1000 delegates

The opposition will therefore look to
the south. Here among the southern
Republicans of the .blaek and tan"

there is great hostility toward both
President Roosevelt and Judge Taft.

their rear, and thus made the rout in
that quarter total. But the second in
command, perceiving how the battle went,
promptly wheeled his party ard threw in
heavy fire on the Dragons; with this
party was Henry Wharton; ball struck
his bride arm, and compelled him to
change hands. As the dragons dashed
by them, rending the air with their
shouts. and with trumpets sounding a
lively strain. the charger ridden by the
youth became ungoverna ble-he plunged,
reared and his rider being unable, with
his wounded arm, to manage the impa-
tient animal, Henry Wharton found him

the ludicrous situation, but had only time

Women of Yexxo.

The women of the island of Yezzo.
whence it is supposed came the orig
lnal inhabitants of Japan, have a very
peculiar custom of making up their
faces to look as though they haze mus
taches. These women are called Anus.
and upon the upper lip of each Ainu
belle is tattooed something that resem-
bles long, flowing mustache. To
possess an artistically tattooed orna-
ment of this kind marks a woman as
especially attractive and her chances
Of making good matrimonial alliance
are very small if she is not thus adorp
ed. AS a matter Of fact, the men of the
island choose their spouses more for
the beauty OF this tattooed design than
the grace of form or charm of feature.

INTELLIGENCE OF THE BEE.

Transported to California, She
Ceases to Deserve Name of Busy.
1t would be easy without appealing
to any prehistoric event to bring to-
gether number of facts that would
show that the faculty Of adaptation
and intelligent progress is not reserved
exclusively for the human race.
Transported to Australia or Califor-
MIA, our black bee completely .alters her
habits. After one or two years, finding
that summer is perpetual and flowers
forever abundant, she will live from
day to day, content to gather the honey
and pollen Indispensable for the days
consumption, and her recent and
thoughtful observation triumphing over
hereditary experience she will cease to
make provision for her winter. Buch-
ner mentions an analogous fact. which
also proves the bees adaptation to cir
cumstances, not slow, secular, uncon-

RELICS OF ITS DISASTERS.

Port Royal, Jamaica, Contains
Mounted Fisareheads of Wrecks.
There are many curious relics of lit
tie value, but much cherished. neyerthe-
less, to be found in Port Royal, ia
maica. Ever since the ancient town
was swallowed up by an earthquake
and a tidal wave three centuries ago
and only one man survived, he having
been thrown out Of the earth and into
the sea by the second quake following
close on the first, the town has been Wis
tied by series of disasters and epidem-
les. Each one has left its traces and
its relics.
Among these are several figureheads
from ships which have been wrecked or
abandoned in the harbor. These quaint
ornaments have been arranged in a
square OF the park near the dockyard.
There is a figurehead in each corner of
the square, placed so that it faces out
ward. One is an old reproduction OF
Admiral Lord Nelson. Then there are
the "Imauln" and the "Megocra."
These odd locking wooden figures are
painted just as they were when they
formed the decorative features of ships.
They are carved with dates and names
and are much weather beaten. Sur
rounding them are tall palm trees. One
of the figureheads guards the officers
mess, another gua'eis the hospital. while
their two mates look always toward the
harbor, as IL watching the incoming
and outgoing ships.
Close by is the hulk Of an old troop
ship, the Urgent, which is fine model
of vessel built in the somewhat dis
tant past. This hulk of a once-proud
ship still boasts OF commander and a
small staff of officers and shows the
broad pennant of the commodore in
command in Jamaica, whose quarters
are in the admiralty house within the
kings yard. Her crew is made up of
artificers of the yard. with a few sea-
men and marines.

cumstances. The fact of his having a
