which would be utterly worthless TO &C

more legislation for his district than any
other member from the state. The record
bears out this statement.
AS an instance of what success he
achieves In legislation is shown by his rec

bill providing fer free homes of the land

reservation in Lincoln county and Camp
Sheridan military reservation in Sheridan
county. These lands are being home

more than $4,000. He passed an
other bill emitting old homestead

of contiguous lands to credit when making
proof upon a new entry for improvements
made upon the old after taking the new.
He also passed an important measure pro-
viding for resurveys at the expense of the
government of townships in several coun-
ties in the Sixth district for the con.

people there just haul loads Of
green pine poles and dump them IN

This downs us, and we have lots

Tavares Herald; Since the

PUNTA GoRDA HERALD, has been
publishing some interesting and
fabulous stories of his own crea-

fact and fiction. His strenuous
efforts in writing facts during the
campaign won golden opinions for
him by the press and the people,
and now he is adding new laurels
to his crown by writing fiction in
a humorous vein. If he continues
to write with such sound judg-

dub him the Sage of Punta

ORANGES AS MEDICINE.
Ideal Remedy for Nervousness
ScrOiuIa and Other Troubles.

Des Moines Register and Lead
er: People are coming round
more and more TO the true opin-
ion that mineral drugs don't aid,
but rather retard recovery in case
of sickness, and that the only true
medicine is to be found in those
articles that nature supplies so
freeIy--air, water and food.
Foremost in value as medicinal
foods are fresh fruits, and none Of
these rank higher than oranges.
Oranges are very richIn organic
salts. They contain a high
amount of potassium, calcinum and
sulphur, surprising both cows
and human milk in this respect.
No other fruit has such g high
percentage of sulphur. Orange
juice contains on an average
IL IA per mile acid, which ac-
counts for the high amount of
potash and lime which is necessary
in the formation of natural fruit
acids. Pure orange juice is an
ideal remedy for scrofula, ricketts,,
nervousness, and especially blood
diseases principally scurvy). 1t
is most valuable for the reduction
of uric acid and other waste mat
ter in the system, and, therefore,
both u preventative and curative
for rheumatism and govt. Con-
sumptiyes and apaemic people will
also be greatly benefited by a
diet of oranges on account OF the
high percentage Of blood building
salts they contain.
Lemons have the largest amount
of magnesium lime of all the
fruits. They show the greatest
acidity--73 per mile. Their juice
is excellent for the preparation of
both fruit and vegetable salads
and should altogether replace vim
egar, which is worse than alcohol,
by depriving the blood Of its inn
poriant organic salts. Its medic
inal qualities are highly sspeerrcmt-
ed in the cure of uric acid diseases.

Our Convict Lease System.

The Tampa Times is mistaken in
thinking that the State press is
unanimous in condemning our
convict lease system. The Pines
itself approves of it, and 30 do the
Ocala Star, The PUNTA GoRDA
HERALD and some other reputable
newspapers.
With the. exception noted, the
statements and views of the Times
are eminently correct, are hereby
cordially approved and are com
mended to careful perusal as
follows:
80 far as we are able 10 OBJ
serve expressions, the press OF the
state seems, to be unanimous in
condemDing the present system of
leasing the convicts and demand
ing the substitution of n more
humane system of dealing with
them. We have failed, however,
to see any suggestion of that more
humane method. Some papers
say the convicts should be en-
ployed in building public roads,
but in what way is not transpar-
emily shown.
''The same temporary quarters
and camps with guards and dogs
and guns, Would need to be en-
ployed, the men would be worked
in the hot sun and would be ex-
posed to the rain, and there would
not be- single modification of the
system which excites so much dis.
appreciation. As things are now,
the convicts and their camps are
reIegated to the woods,are station.
ed in uninhabited and retired places
and their presence does not offend
or endanger any one. 10 put
them to work on the roads would
be to throw them into the centers
of population, to distress the eye
and excite the sympathies of null
titudes of people, to- make the
sight Of armed guards, men in
shackles and dogs in leash y com.
mon and degrading occurrence.
In this respect the change would
be a long step backwards.t Y
"To herd the men into a safe and
strongly built penitentiary, would
be cruel to them aud costly 10 the
State. They are much better of
in the camps. If these camps are
what the law provides for, as they
ought 10 be, the lot of the convict
is but little worse than that OF
any man who has to perform
common contract labor ia Florida.
Let US not act upon n mauldlin
burst of misplaced sympathy, but
consider the matter coolIy and
sensibly before we make a change.
The community does not owe the
convict anything.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
Bruin Gets Into Trouble and
Cuts COmicaI Capers.

ligator WalIow," there occurred
last Tuesday an incident which
was both thrilling and amusing.
1t has been known for some
time that several bears are at
large in the hammocks along Pine
apple river, but the sportsmen of
this end of the county have been
endeavoring to prevent them from
being molesled, in the hope that a
large number of the animals might
take up their abode in the neigh
borhood before the coming hunt
ing season, so that the sport of
bear-hunting might be had with
out the heretofore necessary trips
to the Cypress and other distant
points.
Only once, though, had one OF
the Bruins been seen, and he was
come upon unexpectedly by
George McLane, who, returning
from Acline in his buggy, observ'
cd thc animal in the act Of drink
ing water from a brook, which is
tributary to the river. This fact,
when il became known, brought
about the organization of q big
bear hunt, which it might be said
was nipped in the bud by wise
sportsmen, who advanced the
proposition stated above.
Several times since then, tracks
have been seen in various places
along the river; and even at the
Thatcher place, Bruin left foot.
prints in the sand only a short
time ago.
Mrs. Thatcher, who has a son
aud daughter living with her, was
reared in this region Of country,
and in her early childhood, when
all kinds Of wild animals we're
numerous here, became accustom-
ed to visits by bears. Hence she
was not greatly concerned about
these unlimited visitors, especially
as no particular damage was being
done by them. Coons, rabbits
and other small animals, which
abound in the woods seem to fur
nish ample food for the bears, and
hogs and cattle go unframed.
The occurrence, however, to
which great interest attaches,
came about in an unusual way.
When boiling syrup last winter,
Oscar Thatcher had devised way
for straining the cane juice, by
taking a barrel and securely fas-
teniDg inside within q foot of the
top some heavy sieve-wire which
supported u cloth through which
the juice percolated, same being
drawn out through a faucet On the
outside and near the bottom of
the barrel.
When the syrup-making was
finished, this barrel was used to
hold a part of that set aside for
family use, the straining sieve be-
ing left intact. Recently the con-
tents had all been consumed and
the barrel with a little sugar cak-
ed IN the bottom was placed under
one of the wagon sheds at the
barn.
Before daylight of the day men
toned, Bruin came to pay another
call to the Thatchers; and, like all
bears, having. weakness for
sweet things, as The negroes say,
he set to work TO get the "leav-
ings" out of the syrup barrel.
Breaking through the heavy sieve
wire strainer, he Tapped up the
few drops of syrup and sugar with
great delight.
But when bis appetite had been
as near satisfied AS nossible witt

Gainesville Sun:--The editor Of
The Sun was discussing Gilchrist's
phenomenal victory with q friend
the other day, and the reasons
therefor. Our friend attributed
tine result OF the primary, IN z
large measure, TO the two preach
ers who took such an active part
against Gilchrist and got them
selves into u "hole'' from which
they could not crawl out; but
when we expressed the opinion
that Gilchrists's personal canvass
Of every county in the State, In
which he met "face to face'' near-
ly every voter, had most to do
with his success, he readily agreed
with us. You could ask most any
man If he know Gilchrist, and his
reply would be; eyes, have
met him personally many Of
them adding: "And he looks
good to me-" Campaign speeches
are all right in their way, but they
do not accomplish half so much rs
mingling with the people and be
ing one Of them.

muchly surprised when the heavy
sieve-wire held fast. In spite of
the efforts made with his fore
paws, he was unable to extricate
himself. Getting desperate in his
exertions, the noise he made
awoke the 1'hatchers, who looking
out into the moonlight, took in
the situation at glance. Oscar,
who had no firearms in the house,
wanted to 60 out and Stay the bear
with an axe, but his mother pre-
vailed upon him not to attic mpt it.
Upon second consideration, Os-
car telephoned to his friends, NJ.
V. Williams, j. Mizell and DIR.
Mcqueen, TO come out to his
house in u hurry, if they wanted
to see the sight of their lives.
The three gentlemen, who are
members of the Punta Gorda Gun
Club, got into Mr.. PutnOm's auto
mobile and FASTENED TO the scene
of Bruins activity.
They arrived at the critical
moment, for the bear, becoming
frantic, was darting first in one
direction and then in another,
contact with the fence each time
necessitating IL change of direc-
ton, but he now took the right
bearing and went through an open
gap into the pasture and headed
directly for the river at a break
neck pace. Frequent contact with
trees had the effect of laying him
on his back or of rolling him in
the sand, but each time he regain
ed his feet and took the same gen
eral direction.
All this time he was being fol-
lowed by the three sportsmen and
Oscar Thatcher, all of whom were
Representing themselves for hay
ing no weapon with which to put
Bruin out Of his troubles.
But the funny part of the whole
affair wus, when bear and barrel
together went over the river bluff
on to the top of the launch No
mad, which was anchored under
the bluff with u party of young
picnickers asleep on board. The
sudden contact awoke the cruisers,
all of whom came upon deck and
seeing bear and barrel scrambIing
around in the water, sought safety
by jumping into tho river in IN
endeavor to get ashore on the side
opposite to the bear.
Fortunately the water was only
four feet deep and all got ashore
safely, although one young lady
in her fright came near being
drowned.
About this time, the four gem
llemen who were following Bruin
came up and were somewhat
abashed ut seeing four ladies and
three young men standing on the
river bank in night attire and
dripping with water. But the sit
uation was n sufficient explains
ton. The bears contact with the
boat had disengaged his head from
the DdITcl ulu ITO oNtih va hOWh
the river with the barrel floating
after. There were two rifles
aboard the Nomad, but by the
time every one came to his right
mind, the bear had turned n bend
in the river and doubtless made
for shore to continue his flight on
land.
At least, barrel and bear are
both gone and the incident is tie
talk of the city. 1t may be safe
to predict that the experience OF
this bear will cause him to return
to his former abode in the Big
Cypress swamp. But 1t is not
probable that the remaining mem
bers of the tribe will follow his
lead and Punta Gorda sportsmen
may this fall participate in some
great bear-hunts.
