Did Catholics Elect Himp

Several Florida newspapers, in
Guiding the Barlow Record, De-
Funiak Breeze and Jasper News,
assert that Mr.. Taft owes his cleo
ton to the support given him by
members of the Roman Catholic
church, and they sustain the as
sertion with some apparently good
reasons. Their argument is that
the Pope and other dignitaries of
the church, feeling grateful for
the fair and and very liberal set
Element made by Messrs. Roose-
welt and Taft for the church prop
erty in the Philippines, gave their
members in this country to under
stand that they should show their
appreciation by voting for Mr..
Taft.
Accordingly, to the astonish-
ment of the whole country, New
York City, heretofore a Demo
cratic Gibraltar, gave Mr.. Taft a
majority, as did also Baltimore,
Cincinnati and other large cities
in which the Roman Catholic ele-
ment predominates.
Admitting all this to be true, IL
is not to the discredit of Mr.. Taft
nor of those Romanists who voted
for him. We happen to remem-
Der that these same church people
contributed as much, and that
righteously, to the election Of Mr..
Cleveland, because DR.. Burchard,
who supported Mr.. Blaine, class
ed them with "rum and rebel
lion" If their resentment in the
one case was commendable, their
gratitude in the other is equally
so.

Protect the Fishermen.

Brooksyille Argus - Efforts
should be made to protect our
fishermen as we'll as our fish.
The fishing industry is just aslegit-
mate and proper as the phosphate,
turpentine and saw mill business.
1t is just as honest and just as
worthy to be fosteredas any other.
Fishermen have just as much right
to the peaceful pursuit Of their
calling as men of any other voca-
ton. The cry against them is
that the fish will be exhausted.
So will the soil, the forests and the
phosphate deposits. II we're bet
ter to make war upon the enemies
of the fish than upon the fisher
men. PROPOSES, sharks and 9TH
err buccaneers of the depths de-
stroy more fish than all the fisher
men of the world put together.
Destroy the porpoises, and fish
would soon become 80 numerous
as to be drug on the market.
Our fish should be protected, but
making war upon the fish indus
try is not the way to do 1t. Fight
their natural enemies of the sea.

which kind would be appropriate? l

my favorite flowers. His wife and |

no objection. Could you suggest any

earnestly? Nothing else is necessary.

SYNOPSIS.


Though possessing a British ladyshlp for a
grandmother and being otherwise well con-
nected. the hero OF the narrative. Frank Softly.
who tells the story of his life, is early cast
upon his own resources. His rowing and aQ.
venturous disposition prevents his following ~
the footsteps Of his father as a respectable. but
not we'll paid. medical practitioner, and he tries
his hand at drawing caricatures of society peo-
pie for a living. When 1t is discovered that
he has held up to public ridicule the venerable
features of Lady Malkinshaw, his grandmother.
his family turns him out of doors. Being cast
into prison for debt, Frank secures his release
by working upon the fact that a legacy which
is to devolve upon his sister is dependent upon
his own life and good health. Upon quitting
the jail. he comes suddenly upon a vision OF
feminine beauty and modest grace. whose
identity he tries. without success, to discover.
He shortly after then takes the prosaic posi-
ton of secretary of a scientific and literary
association, which leads. however, to the most
thrilling adventures in his career. These begin
when he comes upon the lady, Alicia Duleifer,
whose charms have captured his fancy, living
in a strange seclusion with her father, whose
occupation. apparently of a chemical nature. is
shrouded in mystery. In the popular mind DR..
Dulcifer is regarded as being engaged in the
arts Of the evil one.

VARIOUS HINTS
ON VARIOUS MATTERS.

The back porch should not be over
looked. Make it as pleasant as you
can for those who work around the
kitchen.
1t is a mistake to lay s%crubbing
brushes with the bristle side upward.
They should always be put with the
bristIes down, otherwise the water will
soak into the wooden part and the
bristles very Don become loose.
If an enameled kettle a been left
on the stove until it has boiled dry
it is a mistake to fill it up withhold
water, as this viii cause the enamel to
chip off. This will not occur IL boiling
water is poured into the kettle instead.
For those who object to wire net
ting in the windows during the sum.
mer a new idea has been found TO
prevent flies and such annoying pests
from entering the house. This new
prevention is a window box of mig
nonette. 1t seems that the insects do
not care to face the odor of this charm
ing flower, so that it is an e~ffectua,
barrier against their invasion. Il
sounds like a very pretty idea.
