what's the use of giving the mer-
chants a financial bleeding once a
year to make a pretense and kill the
business of the town?
The money spent in the carnival
would in a few years build sadly
needed up-to-date hotel for the town
that would have a business meaning
to 1t, or it would furnish a booster s
committee with the means to give
Pensacola a standing on the map, and
do many other good things not dream
ed of. As it is Pensacola gets no ap-
preciative returns for her outlay, and
can't afford the costly fun just for a
fro1ic loaf of two days. She is AL
ready behind in her duty to her self,
and 1t is high time she was getting
off these costly sprees and buckling
down to business.
Now i wish it to be understood that
I do not object to the carnival fes-
tivities when carried on within rea-
son, for like to get into the play day
world and forget for a moment the
corroding and relentless cares of life

childhood and its fantasies through
out the days and years as they come,
to catch the thrill and inspiration of
its happy frivolous hours, for the

world OF dreams, is. dead at the top,
and the bells are tolling a requiem

The esteemed Tampa Tribune has
on several occasions eloquently and
forcibly defended the cigarette habit
as an inherent right of the American
people not to be interfered with by
law and almost too sacred and consti-
tut1onal to be even severely repri-
manded in cold type. But we learn
from the dispatches that the great
Tampa fire which destroyed nearly a
million dollars worth OF property and
threw several thousand people out of
employment was caused by a lighted
cigarette. We indulge in no elaborate
theories, we draw no conclusions. for
We understand that the argument
may cut both ways, but it is a fact
that If there had been no cigarette
habit in this instance, there would
have been no fire to destroy a large
part of Tampa.

There was a panic two or three
months ago in this country followed
by general depression of industries,
but its effects have so nearly passed
away that We have almost forgotten
it.. 1t is very doubtful if we need the
remedy proposed by Senator Aldrich
in his bill to create an emergency
currency. The country has rallied
nobly from the shock of the panic, but
it has a fixed suspicion that the Al
drich bill, applauded by J. Pierpont
Morgan, is not exactly the right thing
at this time. 1t probably means we'll,
but its real effect Is to increase the
power of the national bankers over
the financial system OF the country.

GROWING OF FIGS.
Number of Orchards in South Texas
Being Increased.

San Antonio, Texas, Mar 90
Rapid development of fig raising in
this section has resulted in the
adjustment of a fig preserving f c.
tory in this city SO many fig orch
ards are being planted the nursery
men report that their stock is tenn
porarily exhausted. this condition
cannot last long because the fig Is
indigenous to this section and grows
so readily that if twie from tree
is stuck in the ground and watered
a few times it will take root
In the last year or two demand
for fig preserves has been develop
ed in the United States. There are
eight or ten preserving plants in
this part of Texas and they report
that they are unable to supply the
demand, The preserves are put up
very attractively in glass jars, some
of them just large enough to hold
one portion. They are in great de-
mand in eastern hotels and pullman
dining cars.
The fayorite fig for preserving is
the Magnolia. This is a small fig
with a very thin skin and delicious
flavor The ordinary fig is very much
larger and has thick skin, this
grows in the lawns and yards of the
city, and is not only a useful but
ornamental fig. 1t is favorite
breakfast food during the summer
months and with rich cream makes
a delicious dish.
AS a side issue TO the fig raising
it is necessary to raise bees, because
the bees pollenize the flowers and
assure production Delicious honey
without additional cost is a profit
able by-product of the fig raisers.
The fig trees, even to the small Mag
forty pounds OF figs TO the tree, as
as two hundred will grow on an acre
and the factories pay an average of
three cents per pound for the figs;
the yield is from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred and eighty dol
lars per acre. While the trees are
young and growing, the land be-
tween them is used to raise veget-
ables so there is not loss while wait
ing for the orchard to come in. Many
of the growers are divirsifying by
raising figs, oranges, pecans and bees
"A combination easily handled and
very profitable.

The Lion and the Mouse.

The Lion and the Mouse the
greatest dramatic success the AM
erican stage has known, will be pre-
scented here shortly by Henry B.
Harris with company of excep-
tional strength and every requisite
in the way of stage accessories. The
play is by Charles Klein and it deals
with a theme that has human nature
as its keynote, the conspicuous ele
ment that Mr.. Klein has SO wildly
pictured representing the influence
which the moneyed interests of the
country is exerting on the social and
financial phases of present day life.
The triumph which the play has
achieved is expressed by the fact
that it ran for two years in New
York city: has been played for eight
months to crowded houses in Bos-
ton and broke all records in the
city of Chicago during its run of
twenty-five weeks. The Lion and
Mouse will be here next Monday
night.
