A Great Fire in Tampa.

The Ybor City section of Tam
pa was almost entirely destroyed
by fire on Sunday. Some nineteen
blocks covering ffty-6ye acres
and containing 30S buildings
were burned out, entailing 4 loss
estimated ut $3.50, 900. Four big
cigar factories with large stocks of
cigars and tobacco, many restau-
rants, saloons and boarding houses
and over 200 cottages were con-
sumed. Over 1900 cigar makers,
whose homes and furniture were
burned, were thrown out of work,
and it is feared that considerable
suffering may result, though Tam
pa people and officials are doing
all in their power to prevent and
relieve distress. Punta Gorda and
all Of DeSoto county extend sin.
cere sympathy to the sufferers.

Miami Metropolis: - Several
days ago an order was sent out
from Chicago to the district SUI
perintendents that the Pullman

order to go into effect as soon as
the liquor now on hand can be
disposed of without loss, They

wATTERSONS OPINION.
Superiority over ANY Other Winter
Resort In the world.


Ocala Banner--Henry Waiter
son, I'M the Louisville Courier
Journal Of February 8, 1908,
admits, after sampling Italy and
the French Riviera, that for real
simon pure, winter comfort and
enjoyment there is no place like
Florida, and we give him credit
for sense, even if he does prefer
another portion of this "strip OF
sand" than our immediate vicinity.
Here is a part Of what he says:
"The search for winter sun
beams has become an incident OF
modern life in what may be called
the northern countries, it is pro-
fession. Many must seek the south
actually and solely for their
health. In Europe and quite into
February, there is no climate to
speak of north of Spain, and in
Spain but single city, Barcelona,
where the living arrangements are
tolerable, though at Algeciras and
across from Biaritz they are begin
ming to learn the rudiments of the
value of making people comforta-
BILE.
THE bright skies and balmy
airs ofItaly, of which we read SO
much in English song and story,
are delusion and II snare. They
have no snow and, ice at Naples,
even at Palermo. The English
drew their contrasts from their
own detestahIe weather. A hun
dred years ago consumptives were
sent to Montpelier-mostly to die
albeit Montpelier is close upon
the Spanish border. Then the
French Riviera was discovered,
and Nice and Cannes became the
heaquarters of tuberculosis and
fashion. Yet Genoa, only Il hun
dred miles away on the self.same
const is almost as variable and as
bad in point of atmospheric con-
ditions as The valley Of the Ohio.
Over Monte Carlo and Mentone
and Beaulieu the snow-clad noun
tains hang, and it is well through
January before the spring opens.
East of the Rockies, in the
United States, there is nothing
but Florida, and South Florida at
that. Fifty millions of people,
more or less, must pay sanitary
tribute TO Florida, or freeze al
home. That is Il goodly clientele
for a strip of land some five hun
dred miles in length, with a vary
ing breadth down to the peninsulal
keys across which Flagler is build

of Jordan. ] have a regard fol

Tampa Times; A Tampa woman
went downtown shopping at the
bargain counters last Monday.
She hada ten dollar bill, but she
found she had spent it all getting
things for the children before she
got the shoes for herself she so bad
ly needed. That is the way with
mothers, but the children never
truly appreciate it until mother
is gone and they are themselves
doing the same thing for their own
chaps. If we only knew things
when we.arc young, this would be a
much more happy and lovable old
world.

A good many Of the Sac and Fox
Indians do not talk much. and when
they are in store and see something
they want they pick 1t up and pay for
it. When Tom Hall was keeping a
drug store an Indian woman entered
it and picked up can Of varnish and
paid for it. A few weeks later the
same woman was in again and Tom
asked her If she wanted another can.
She said no. they couldn't eat the can

it Had a Sharp Turn That Took All

One day pe,idler of tinware stopped
ut country house in New England
and. leaving his horse and wagon ut

big woman with rather pleasant
face met him. He told her what he
had for sale and succeeded in dispos.

Then she said that She had not money
enough to buy more.

II have none to SELL" answered the
woman.
The peddler saw at least dozen
children, all small. about the house
and the gard. and he suddenly thought
of joke that he might play on the
woman.
"You seem to have plenty of chill

me one of them and take the pay in
tinware."

man.

"Well, sir" said the woman, Its Il
bargain; take your pick Of the lot"
The peldlcr was surprised that his
joke was working SO we'll. but he kept
a very serious face. and. selecting IL
very bright looking little fellow of
six years. he took him up and put him
on the seat of the wagon and then
gave the woman $40 worth Of such
articles as she wanted.

very slowly, however. for he expected
every second to hear the woman call

But she did not call him back,

the peddler. fearing that the joke had
been turned on him, drove back to the
gate. Lifting the disappointed little
fellow down from the wagon. he went
with him to the door, where he found
that the woman had just finished ar

shelves.
