Under the above caption The Tampa
Tribune pays Hon. Frank Clark the
following merited compliment;
Frank Clark, representing Florida
in the National House of Representa-
tives from the Second Congressional
District, has been one of the most
able, conscientious, aggressive and
effective men ever sent from the State
to serve it in the halls of Congress.
We are, therefore more than aston
ished to learn that Ion l.. Farris-
of prolific Jacksonville, by the way
has entered the lists in opposition and
has given notice that he will make
a vigorous fight to win the Office. He
will, in The Tribune's opinion, have
to possess more than human power to
defeat one who has awakened the ad-
miration and affection Of his
whole constituency, in fact Of the en-
tire State.
"As q matter of fact, Mr.. Clark
should have no opposition to a re-elec.
ton. HeShas familiarized himself by
past experience with the way of do.
ing things in the complicated meetings
of Congress, and is, therefore better
equipped than ever before to be of
signal service in securing for his dis.
trict and the State at large the many
things they stand in need Of He
is, moreover. familiar with existing
laws governing the Nation and will
perform intelligent service in align
ing himself with those who would
better general conditions by amend
ing those laws or adding TO their num-
Der, Nj Clark, then, should be re
turned to Congress not alone because
of his great popularity, but because
he is prominently qualified to do bet
ter service than any other man in his !
district,
I'VE feel very confident that the ,
people Of the second district will hold !
the same view with overwhelming !
They will never consent |
10 lose as their representative a man !
" no has given such strong evidence
Of conspicuous capacity, sterling integ !
rity and intrepidity in battling for the
right as Frank Clark. ANY effort to
destroy his prestige will meet with Ger.

Old Man Has Hard Fall.

A. A. Cameron, whose home ia on
the South side Of Rogue river few
miles above town was quite severely
injured ON Tuesday by falling down a
flight of stairs at the opera house.
He suffered a bad lsceration of the
scalp, his face was badly bruised his
left hand was injured quite painfully
and he was quite badly battered and
shaken up. He wes nearly uncon-
scious when bystanders went to his
aid. None of his hurts proved serious
and he is again able to be on the
street. Mr.. Cameron Is unable to ex-
plain the reason Of his fall; either
he walked unthoughtedly of the head
of the stairs, not noticing that they
were there or as he suggests he
might have been overcome by some
sort Of fainting spell as his remem-
brance of the fall is confused.
Me-. Cameron is particularly upfor-
tunate in the matter Of accidents
having only about year ago broken
his arm in two places, while working
at the Golden Drift dam. As he is
we'll advanced in years the injuries
are far more troublesome than they
would be to q younger person.

Marrlane Ellnht of Ants.


People living along the River Stour,
at Sandwich, England, were the other
day treated to a wonderful sight Sud
denly the stream, the shores and the
streets of the town became covered
with flying ants that seemed to be
dropping like hail from the clouds.
The phenomenon was a marriage
fight Of ants. such as always takes
place in the summer. The ants thus
swarming We're young queens and
winged males. In these marriage
flights countless millions Of ants take
part, yet the noise of their tiny vibrat-
ing wings is scarcely as loud as the
hum of a bee. So frail are their dense
columns that little puff Of wind viii
disperse them out Of sight.
Comparatively few of the myriads
which come forth from their nests
into the air live to enter a nest again.
Practically all the males die lonely
and shelterless. The surviving queens
found new communities, or, entering
cid nests, are at once taken care Of by
the workers. and start new colonies
in their old nursery.

bat he must live in the open and not

is almost as good as the porcelain and
much less expensive. Soapstone and
slate are very good, and SO, too, is the
copper-lined sink. The great danger
"a the porcelain and enameled sinks
IS the breaking of delicate china and
glass. The copper lining is much the
best for that. The wooden drain
boards tipping slightly toward the
sink are a great convenience. Ere

surface are placed in these to keep the
dishes from slipping. There are, be-
