ON THE FLORIDA SPECIAL.
BY PHILIP KHAN.

(Copyrighted, 1907, by P. C. Eastment. )
 Miss Carstairs was not so old or so sophisticated that she was dead to the delights of having three punches of vi- olets, two boxes of candy and bun- dIe of magazines piled up on the seat next to her. Seemingly unconscious of the glances that had followed her as she came in, she nevertheless seated herself in her chair with the feeling that she was a person of importance and one whose popularity was evidenc- ed by the number and value of her going away gifts.
 As if the gods had not been good enough, however, just as the train pulled out. and Richard Marston held her hand in a last farewell, the porter staggered in, bearing a huge hamper, fruit-filled and flower-decorated, such a hamper as one sees only in the trop- ical paradise of milionaires.
 Marston eyed 1t jealously.
 Such a display of money" he crit icised.
 'It's beautiful" Miss Carstairs as sured him.
 "oh, well, my violets won't have a chance now" but it was question rather than an assertion. and Miss Carstairs said, How do you know? have been from anybody but Miss Car stairs.
 I've half a mind to go on with you to Daytona," Marston hesitated, and Miss Carstairs said "Oh, dol" and that settled it. Marston went to find the conductor and get chair and as there wasn't any but the one next to Helen the porter lifted the two punches of violets and the two boxes of candy and the hamper of fruit and the bundle of magazines and carried them to the end of the car and piled them where the passengers eyed them and then screwed their necks to get a better view of Miss Carstairs, all of which that young lady enjoyed as much as she enjoyed the distinction of having Richard Marston for a travelling com panion.
 Think of my bnobbing with cell ebrity," she said.
 Of the making of books there Is no end" Marston quoted sententiously. Think rather of my travelling with a beauty"
 And both of us as poor as poor" Helen sighed.
 Marston looked at her. T wonder why you say that?" he asked, What difference does it make-|
 Helen stared at him. T thought she gasped.
 That I wanted to marry you" he finished for her. But l don't! and he settled back in his chair and looked out toward the line of the tropical shore. where a few cocoanut palms were silhouetted against a purple sea.

 thank God when I had become a phys scal and almost a moral wreck, I was persuaded by some friends to go to your Sanatorium, and take the treat nent, which I did, and in less than three weeks I was entirely cured, and made a free man again. It shall be my pleasure as I go through life to tell of the good work your institution is doing, and possibly help some poor unfortunate person who is in the same condition I once was. May our God spare you for many years to be ben eft to mankind. With best wishes for a prosperous and happy New Year, l beg to remain. your friend, < B. c. TRIGG. Care House of Representatives, Jack

 PRICE OF HOME REMEDIES.
 For the benefit of those who can not afford Sanatorium treatment, a specially prepared treatment will be sent so that anyone unfortunately ad- dicted to the use of drugs can be cured within the privacy of their own home. Literature and free trial treatment for drug addictions can be had by writing to Chas. B. James, Lock Box 1000. Memphis, Tenn.
 The James Sanatorium also specially prepares a Home Treatment for Drunkenness, which can be given with fin the privacy of the patients own home, and only costs s12.50.
 The Cigarette, Cigar, Pipe and Snuff Habits can be cured at home at a cost of only $500.
 Since 1t is possible to be cured of these addictions at such a small ex- pense. there is no excuse for anyone being a slave to drugs, whiskey or to- bacco. and bequeathing the curse of a drug whiskey or tobacco wrecked system to their children and to future generations.

EIGHT STORY CHESS.
German Doctor Proposes To Raise tho
 Game to the Third Dimension.

Game to the Third Dimension.
 Dr. Ferdinand Mack of Hamburg proposes to add to the terrors of chess by raising it to the third dimension. He proposes cubical chess as an ad- vance on the existing game.
 The cubing he proposes to accom- plish by rigging series of eight chess boards one above another, connecting them at the corners by thin rods, The scope of the game would thus ex tend to 512 squares instead of GA.
 AL the opening of the game the pieces and pawns are to be arranged as at present, on the lowest board, but each player has an extra set of pawns which he places on the king row of the second board. These are supposed to protect the row of pieces beneath them against attack from above. Each player has therefore 24 combatants at his disposal.
 The moves are extensions of the present moves to the conditions of the cube. The rocks, for instance, can mount from one board to another along vertical lines only, the bishops only on diagonals.
 The queen can jump from one cor ner of the lowest board to any of tho other boards on vertical or diagonal lines. The knight cannot climb or descend more than two boards at a time, always sidestepping in his own peculiar way. The moves of the king and pawns cannot exceed more than one board, and they must choose between changing boards and chang ing squares on the same board.
 Dr. Maack's invention has not been received with entire good hlmor by chess players. Some of them write to the papers that the game was enough for the ordinary brain already and when it came to having the king climb out of check by getting on the roof of the ehesboard even the intel lects of blindfold players might be in danger of giving way.
 They add that if any increase in the complexity of the game were desired the obvious thing was to increase the size of the old fashioned board to 12 or 16 squares each way This, how ever, Dr. Mack pronounces uon- sense.
 The object, he says, Is not to com plfcate the game but to restore it to natural conditions Since everything else in nature has three dimensions chess should

NEW TRIBE D1soovoFRFp

A tribe of Indians of whose exis- tence the world has hitherto been in ignorance was discovered by Dr. George B. Gordon, curator of archeol- ogy of the University of Pennsylvania. during the course of an exploring trip. begun last spring in Alaska. The new tribe is of the same general family as the rest of the North American tribes, but of higher mentality and develop ment than most of them. They alone
 of all the tribes north of Mexico and southern California, possess the art of pottery making. The Gordon expedi- ton was fitted out by Mrs. Charles c. Harrison wife of Provost Harrison, for the express purpose of finding this tribe, whom Dr. Gordon had reason to think existed, and incidentally to its main aim the expedition traversed and charted for 1,500 miles from it's mouth the second largest river of the North west, the Kantishua river, hitherto treated as a mere creek, although it is as large as the Delaware. The source of the Kantishua was found in Lake Hintuana, within 50 miles of Mt. Mc- Ktnley. By a portage of 10 miles the River Kuskokwim was reached down which the party padded for two months, making geographical and eth nographic researches as they went. pr. Gordon succeeded in bringing back to civilization considerable ethnograph- ical collection, including complete set of implements used by the newly discovered Indians,v-zion's Herald.

HAVE WOMEN INTUITION?
One Writer Says They Have Neye,
 Shown It In Literature.

Ohe WTlter says They Have Never
 shown It In Literature.
 Literature is the final expression of human thought. If woman can Iav claim to a special faculty of intu4tiSn why do they not manifest it in their writings? Intuition, if it means anv- thing, means the faculty that gets down to the germ of actions and char acteristics and focuses external traits into central verity recognizable to uhe general public. Now, there are more female writers than male No woman poet has ever written an in- evitable line, a ltne that flashes snon- taneously out of the unknown and casts an Illuminating light upon the abyss Woman has added practically nothing to our stock of familiar quo tations. Take down your Bartlett or your anthology, and you may be sur prised to find that from Mrs. Brown ing to Mrs. Meynell women have nev- CT coined a phrase which has passed into the common currency of speech. Mrs. Browning has indeed written fine lines, but nothing of hers can be said to have become a household word.
 Nor has any woman novelist created any character that is generally recog- nized as typical. George Eliot has come closest with her Tito Melema and Mrs. Poyster You would appeal only to the educated few if you de- scribed a person as a Tito or a Poy- ser. But call a man Don Quixote, a MicawIber Dogberry, a Falstaff, a Colonel Newcom44 .A Bilfl, a Parson Adams or Bob Acres call woman a Mrs. Malaprop, a Becky Sharp, a Beatrice, Diana Vernon, Meg Mer- rifles, and even the illiterate will mentally classify the individual as you wish him or her to be classified.
 Ah, but" you say, "in real life women are the true munitions. They size up man or woman at a glance. They are never mistaken when they trust to their instincts
 I can only testify to my own ex- | perience. have not found that woni- l ems snap Judgments of character are ] imbued with any special verity. They ] form likes or dishkes quicker than a man does because they are quicker on the trigger of conjecture. They can only be one of two things. right or wrong If time proves that they are right as they must be in 30 per cent. of cases, the right guess is remem- bered and treasured up by the slower
 minded man as an extraordinary in- stance of intuition. The wrong guess is forgotten. William S. Walsh In Era. SF%

RARE COINS FOUND AT LUXOR.

|. "A hundred specimens of the silver tetradrachm of Alexander the Great, part of a find of 500 pieces made re- gently in lower Egypt, have been brought to New York They were found In an earthen jar hidden in the side of an ancient well, wheye they had laid undisturbed for over 2.2OO years These pieces are very thick, and the silver is of great purity. They correspond in weight to the half dollar
 The obverse bears the head of Her cules in q lions skin. The reverse shows zeus. seated in a chair, and all bear the name of Alexanher in Greek. Many interesting ronograms and mint marks were found in this Lot, and some of the pieces bore the Greek word for the mint marks, designating the towns or cities where they were struck, were the forepart of ram, a bow, war rior, a blow, a helmet and so on.
 The coins are all struck in very high relief so high that the modern bank teller would have trouble in stacking more than three or four pieces with out their tumbling over, They were found at Luxor--New York Times.

survival in part of the time when man had to hunt in order to get food because, in his turn, he was hunted by others of his kind to that extent that he could not raise food, nor keep it if he did and survival, for the other part of that trait which impelled the saintly and god-fearing fathers of this commonwealth to drive from ten to twenty miles for the sake of seeing a fellow human hanged and hearing some brute of a pastor make a mock cry of religion by preaching a sermon on the occasion That bad practice was outgrown several years ago in Connecticut and that peculiar form of sport known as hunting will sooner or later go with it. Just think for mo- ment how absurd the whole business is: A fairly well-to-do and abnndantly intelligent gentleman in the city will expend from $50 to $100 in buying one of the most modern types of guns ana ammunition for it and then will se- cure permission to roam over consid- erable area in one of the small towns and will kill a few birds, squirrels and rabbits and will take them home Next he keeps them until they are partial ly decomposed and then secures a chef to cook them in order that he and his friends may eat them, and drink champagne. It never occurs to him that these birds and animals, fun of grace and life until he made of them mangled Jumps of fur and feathers, were among the most harmless and graceful of Gods creation, creatures, made by Him who takes not even of the fall of sparrow, and killed, not because their flesh is needed to sus- tain the life of man or woman, but simply for fun" Is there much sport after all in Q lust for blood ?--Hart- ford Letter in Shore Line Times.
