GREAT BANKING scheme
Tampa Man Gives it in a Nut
shell.

Bill Neeld, the noted Socialist
of Tampa, unfolds in the Tampa
Times a brilliant banking scheme,
which Is within easy reach of all,
and It Is q wonder that any of Us
have never before thought of il
nor failed to take advantage of it,
Here is what Bill writes
| have decided to depart from
the socialist fraternity and am
going to enter the banking frater-
nifty, and ! hereby divnlge the
process
Just want 100 good fellows,
and this is The way it is done;
Each Of us 90 off to some fool
(who has more money than brains)
aud we each borrow $1,000. We
then 90 and "soak" that money in
United States government inter
est bearing bonds-see9 That
money is safel lin the government
safe), and it bears interest. We
are going into the national bank
ing business. Now the treasurer
issuesto us 100000 in national
banking currency, with this money
we pay off the fellows we got it
from. They then come to us and
deposit" il with us. We are
then in the arena of business. J"
We are flying high and enter the
field of frenzied finance. "Great
prosperity" prevails. We take in
too much gas and "water" and
we want more money. We con"
spire to bring about panic.
This is a dodge to scare the
people and force the government
to deposit its funds with us, so as
to give elasticity" to our cur
rency. We spring a bill on con-
gress to allow us to increase our
funds 40 per cent on our collater-
al--and away we go--"good
times" prevail again. w. p. N.

EUCALYPTUS TREES
Valuable and Will Flourish |
Florida.

During the past few years, The
blue gum tree, one of the AustIal-
ian eucalyptus, has been planted in
parts Of southern Florida, and has
thrived to such a degree as to
assure good results from paintings
of that species in the southern sec
ton of the peninsula. The success
full paintings were made in low,
sandy soils near Cape Canaveral,
about Fort Myers, and elsewhere.
The water level is usually lCks
than six feet below the surface,
and the trees find no difficulty in
obtaining all the moisture needed,
The blue gum and other Ell
calypts were brought to Califor-
mia from Australia many years
ago, and have shown remarkable
growth in the warm climate and
friendly soils of the Pacific coast.
1t becomes a trunk in a few years
when conditions are favorable,
but it cannot Withstand severe
frost and for that reason it
can be grown with profit only in
limited areas Of the United States!
Much attention is being given to
it in California, and hundreds Of
thousands of trees were planted
the past year. Railroads use il
for ties and are planting large
tracts for that purpose. 1t has
many uses--fuel, posts, poles and
lumber. No tree grows with
greater rapidity.
The success which has attended
the introduction of this valuable
tree in southern Florida proves
that it will prosper there. AL
though much of the soil is stony,
the underground water lies near
the surface and the roots of the
eucalypts easily reach it. If they
can obtain sufficient anchorage to
hold the trunks against the force
of the wind, success Is reasonably
sure even in the stony ground,
while many situations are available
where the soil is deep and is free
from stones, and in such places
the eucalypt finds ideal conditions
for rapid growth.

1 Pee=Wee Ed;tOrs.

Editor Harris, of the Ocala
Banner, designates as "pee-wee
editors" those wild and cantank-
erous seribes who are supporting
the Browat d-Barrs Stockton ring
and whose stock argument con-
sists solelypf denunciation of the
rest of the newspapers as "corpo-
ration organs" He says:
Why deprive these pee-wee ed
itors Of their only aguments II
has done long and faithful service
and is u veteran of many cam
paigns. 1t is now worse than a
worm.eaten chestnut. II was or
iginally used to fool the people
and is still being used for the same
purpose, but the people are begin
ming to cut their wisdom teeth,
and are showing symptoms of
growing tired of being used as a
cats paw with which to rake the
chestnuts out of the fire for the
fellows who are always on the hot
trail for Office.
When Mr.. Burr made his an
nouncement for governor, these
organs piped the same tune; but
as soon as Mr.. Stockton made his
announcement, they dropped Mr..
Burr cold and Topped over to Mr..
Stockton and said that the organs
that were not supporting him be-
longed to the corporations Of
course including those, if any,
that were supporting Mr.. Burr.
The nonsense of it all.
The intention of these newspa-
pers is to deceive, and the newspa-
per- that Intentionally deceives its
readers is dishonest, and is fit for
treason, stratagems and spoils."

Live Oak Democrat:-Florida is
filing up with crooks and fakirs
from the north who have come to
spend the winter with us for the
benefit of our salubrious climate
and win out their expenses in the
meantime along strictly profess
sional lines, Consequently there
is need for increased police vigil
ance in every town and city in the
State. There are plenty of bur-
glars and safe blowers among
these winter arrivals, and the
Georgia and Florida papers are
giving us news nearly every day
of their depredations on honest
people.

A Very Just Reflection.

Live Oak Democrat:-That a
life sentence to imprisonment in
Florida doesn't mean what it says,
and, in fact, means only a few
years confinement, is again de-
monstrated by the pardon of Ma
rion county murderer, who killed
his man down there not very long
ago, was convicted and got a life
sentence. 1t is not gracious nor
kindly task to protest against the
pardon of a repentant criminal
who has served some part of his
term, but, all the same, law of the
land will never have the efficiency
1t should have in protecting socle-
ty against criminals until those
who enforce it, including the
Board of Pardons, are made of
stuff too stern to yield to the plaus-
ible talks Of paid attorneys, or the
tears of beseeching relatives.
We don't know anything about
the facts in the Marion county
case, and are not criticising the
action of the Board in that case,
but it is a good enough text from
which to preach the sound doc
trine that our imperiled civiliza-
ton, threatened right now by an
increasing horde OF criminals of
all kinds and degrees, cannot be
saved except by stern enforcement
of the law to the bitter end.

The organs of tho Broward.
Barrs-Stockton ring cannot prove
Mr.. Stockton's honesty by denounc
ing the respectable newspapers of
the State as corporation organs. il
they could prove that every news

Mr.. Stockton is hired and bribed
by any persons or corporations,
that proof would not establish

Elsie, who would have soothed her
distraught friend with a loving hand,
drew back in real fear that she was
confronted by a maniac. The utter
outrageousness of this new infiction
brought teaEs to her eyes. Yet she
choked back her grief for the sake of
the others.
Another heavy sea pitched on board.
The Kansas trembled and listed sud-
denly. Isobel screamed shrilly and
burst into a storm Of dry eyed sobs.
Her mood changed instantly into one
of abject submission. She sprang to-
ward Elsie with hands outstretched.
"Oh, save me, save mew she walled.
God knows, 1 am not fit to die!'
There are some noble natures which
find strength in the need to comfort
the weakness of others. Elsie drew
the distracted girl close to her and
placed an arm around her neck.
1t was thus that Courtenay found
them when he appeared at the door
after a lapse Of time which none of
them could measure.
Now, Miss Maxwell, you first" he
said, with an air of authority which
betokened some new move of utmost
importance.
"First-for what?' she managed to
ask
"You are going off in boat. 1t is
your best chance. Please be quick"
mo, Miss Barring goes before me,
then the others. l shall come last"
Have it as you will. l addressed
you because you were nearest the door.
Come along, Miss Barring"
He waited for no further words. He
grasped Isobel's arm and led her out
into the darkness. 1t seemed to be a
very long time before he returned.
Now, Mrs. Somerville," he said, but
that unhappy lady was so unnerved
that he had to carry her.
"Can you manage to bring the
maid? he asked over his shoulder to
Elsie. She stopped over the maid, but
the girl wrestled and fought with her
in frantic dread Of the passage along
the deck and of facing that bowling
sea In a small boat
Elsie herself was almost worn out
when Courtenay came back. He took
in the situation at glance. He picked
up the shrieking maid in his strong
arms.
"You won't mind waiting for me" )"
he said to Elsie. Don't attempt to
come alone. You are too exhausted"
1t was fine thing to do, but she
smiled at him to show that she could
still repay his confidence.
II shall wait" she said simply.
So she was left there all alone again
without even the dog to bear her COM
pany.

Tor the after ladders used only by sail

before she actually grasped It's pur-
port. When its significance dawned
on her she flushed violently, for this
was what she read:
II am glad of it, too, because under
no other circumstances would wish
to greet and embrace the woman des-
tined to be your wife"
The knowledge that she had involun-
tarily intruded on Captain Courtenay's
private affairs brought her back with
a certain slight shock to sense Of
danger she was in, emerged from shad-
owland Why had he not come for
her? Surely there must have been
some further mishap! Heavens! Was
she alone on the ship, alone with the
dead men and the dying vessel? Her

with much disfavOr. SO he leaped VI
on the table beside Elsie and looked
at her as though he would ask why she
had permitted this sacrilege.
Though the dog was apparently un
scathed and in the best of condition,
his head and fore paws were blood
stained. His advent dispelled the mist
which was gathering in the girls
brain. She feared a tragedy, yet Joey
assuredly would not be so cheerful, SO
daintily desirous to avoid the splash
ing water in the cabin If his master
were injured. The mere presence of
the dog was a guarantee that Courte-
nay had not quilted the ship.
"Oh, Joey" she said, Il wish you

The sound Of her own voice startled
her. She was yielding to nervousness
again and was on the point of ventur-

house ran, to see If she could distin-

after part of the vessel. when DR..
