GETTING MARRIED.

Old fellow, now why don't you marry ?
Wen give you the time Of your
life
Wen maui and insult you, and harry
The girl that you choose forSyour
wife.
Well stuff quarts of rice down your
collar,
And batter you both with old shoes,
Till III wager you many a dollar
You'd welcome a mob as good news
Wen lock you upstairs-tO be funny;
And make you lose trains-for a
joke,
Wen hide all your baggage and
money.
And send you off hatIess and broke.
Wen tag YOU lust Married." and
TwOSinC!"
Tie bells and white bows where we
Just see all the fun YOU are losing,
Why don't YOU set married, old
man?

A SUCCESSFUL
GIRL "STEEPLEJACk.



A girl II years old has accom-
plished an extraordinary feat of as
Cending a church spiTe 260 feet high,
in the teeth of a gale of wind. A
steeplejack had undertaken to ascend
the Spire of All Saints Hereford. the
highest in the west of England, when
Miss Elsie Helms, the daughter of one
Of the church wardenS, volunteered
to accompany him. The ascent was
made by means of Steeplejack'S
cradle. In spite of the force of the
wind and the swaying of the cradle,
the girl, says the steeplejacK, was re-
markedly cool all through the ascent
and descent. The ascent was made
on market day and 4 great crowd
watched in thrilling suspense every
movement of the swaying cradle
Traffic was entirely blocked by the
crowd until the girl had gained the
summit and descended safe and I'M
harmed.-Kansas City Journal

Don't Jump Your
Contract. Mr.. Burr.

The Live Oak Democrat, always
bright and interesting, has the follow
ling to say of Mr.. Burr's statement
that he would at the proper time an
nounce his candidacy for governor,
and the Breeze is quite right in the
view it takes:
Hon. Hudson Burr, avOwed candi
date for governor, doubtless reads
the DeFuniak Breeze, for Mr.. Burr is
an administration candidate, if I'M
denied reports be true, and the
Breeze is an administration paper In
the last issue of the latter, Mr.. Burr
will find some very earnest and
solemn words addressed 10 him, in
which he is urged not to run for gov
ernor, and some very excellent rea-
sons are given why he shouldn't. He
hasn't completed his contract with
the people Of Florida as railroad COM
missioner. and the late legislature
having given him what he asked to
increase the powers of the commits
sion, it is no time for him, an expert
in the business, selected by the people
for the work. to jump his job and go
galivanung around the state in an
other campaign for votes for higher
place. The Breeze talks like a father
to him, and makes out very strong
case to back up it's urgent advice
which is, Don't do it, Mr.. Burr" But
If you are going to do it, Mr. Burr,
you should turn loose that commits
sion teat to which you are now
swinging, and give somebody else a
chance. Don't hang onto one Office
while you are running for another.
That may be thrifty, but it's not fair.
and the people will be very likely to
resent that particular kind of thrift
by defeating your gubernatorial am
bitiOn. A Texas railroad commission
er tried that same game last year
and he got left.

Don't Trust to Your Eve.

In spite Of the growth of knowledge
old illusions about wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
a wild creature is held by many people
and intelligent people, too-notwith-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals, but not on ac-
count of his eyes being turned away.
1t is because the animal is treacherOus
and knows by instinct that anything
with its back turned toward it is de-
fenseless- Snakes are looked upon as
evil at all times, but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness. No creature is more nerv-
GUS than snake.

The Support of
The Administration.

The question as to which of the
gIrbernatorial aspirants will receive
the administration support seems
to be worrying some of the editors,
and they are not all united in their
opinion as to where this support VIII
go. The Miami Metropolis gives the
following interesting information on
the subject:
! Many had thought and said
when r. Hudson Burr, OF Dade,
county, chairman Of the Railroad
Commission, announced his candida
cy for governor that he was backed
BY the administration. but this seems
TO be ar error as those on the III
side" declared Gov Broward did all

as his successor and Will throw the
administration influence to him.
The Metropolis seems to speak from
authority on this question but fails
to give the names of those on the
inside" from whom it secured the
T information. If this statement is to
be taken as correct, it settles all
doubt as to where the "administra-
'tion support" will go, but about the
same time the above article appeared,
the VOlusia. County Record at DeI.and
published a different version. In dis

We have in our great state two or
three editors and few citizens who
denounce the man who endeavOrS TO

1t strikes us that one of the worst

Buchtel and his gang have been
guilty is that of issuing a proclama-
ton suspending the fish and game

has serious objection 10 those days
being made part of the fishing sea-
son. bat the governor and fish com
missioner have no more right TO sus-
pend q law, than have You or |. The
very fact that they have sworn 10
uphold those laws, makes the ollense
worse. 1t is part Of the growing
idea that by imperial skase, so,Ds
