COMMUNICATED.

To the Editor of the St. Johns
Review: After reading the state
ment published in the last issue OF
your paper concerning the St.
Johns ferry boat, l desire to mod
ify it SO far as il has reference to
my telephone conversation with
Mr.. George NJ. Trowbridge. editor
of the Journal. Upon reflection,
/ do not think | should have stated
that the editor S conduct was such
as to cause me to believe that he
expected to be offered hush money
or advertising to suppress certain
facts he claimed to have collected
concerning the ferry boat. He
never in any way suggested that
he would with hold them from pub.
lication for a money consideration
and it was not my intention to
convey that impression. ! should
have confined my statement to the
fact that he appeared extremely
antagonistic against Peterson Bros
& Smith and myself and was in
clined to place implicit faith in al
reports that came to him rejecting
discreditably upon us. The state
ment was written while ! was con
fined to my bed sick, at time
that / felt very much aggrieved by
the falsity of the report in the
Journal and my language was no
guarded as carefully as il shoulc
have been. G. ]. Perkins.

A NEW SOURCE OF HARDWOOD
Junco, Grown in Valley Of Rio Grande,
Will Class With Ebony.

Washington, June 27-The junco is
the missing link of the tree family.
Restricted to single valley, that OF
the Rio Grande, in Mexico and Texas,
this tree, with its small crooked trunk
bristling with thorns, is little known to
the outside world. 1t is popularity sup
posed to bear no leaves, flowers, or
fruit, but it really bears all three.
The minute leaves are scale-like, the
flowers very small, and the fruit is a
tiny berry. The junco, so far as is
known, has always lived in one place
and has always been the same
dwarfed, crooked tree that it now is.
Except as fuel, it has not been put
to any use. Thousands of cords might
be cut in the valley of the Rio Grande,
in Mexico and Texas. OF late, how.
ever, the growing scarcity of hard
wood has called attention to the de.
spised junco tree as a possible sub
stitute for soDe Of the more popular
woods, and the result is a surprise to
those who thought the wood had NO
commercial value. Clarence A. Miller
consul at Matamoras, Mexico, has
called the attention of this government
to the good qualities claimed for it.
The wood sinks in water. In color
it ranges from brown to black. 1t
receives a high and beautiful polish
fitting it to take the place of such
expensive woods as ebony and rose
wood for small cabinet work. The
trunks are so short and crooked that
only small pieces of timber can be OBJ
tanned from them. Few trunks exceed
seven feet in length and eight inches
in diameter. The wood is said to be
admirably suited for the keys of must
cal instruments, jewel boxes and other
bureau cabinets, chess men, checkers
paper knives, knobs and other small
turnery, inlaid work, and indeed fol
almost all purposes for which costly
foreign woods, in small pieces, are new
used

GOT FLIP WITH FRED WHITE
Tonsorial Artist Did Not Know at First
Who He Was Up AGAINST.


Sioux City, June 27.-When Fred S.
White, candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket, went into a barber
shop for a shave this morning, the
tonsorial artist whisking a towel under
Mr.. Whites chin whiskers, thought
he saw an opportunity for some fun
at the expense of the rural appearing
customer he was about to operate
upon.
Mr.. Whites tanned countenance and
bleached beard show evidence of con-
tact with the wind and sun of the
field and he appears exactly what he
is-an agriculturist.
Say, uncle, how's the roads?" asked
the barber, adopting a nasal twang,
after the manner OF the average stage
comedian who plays Uncle Josh Whit
comb.
| believe they are all right" re-
piled Mr.. White courteously.
ANY chance for tn crop O. corn,
dye think?" pursued the barber.
Much more than there is for you to
become a humorist," returned Mr..
White pleasantly.
The barber hesitated and then
stepped over to brother razor wielder
who had been a wig-wagging him.
Shut up, you chump. That's the
democratic governor" he said.
The joker, red in the face, resumed
his job of shaving. while Mr.. Whites
chin whiskers were agitated occasion
ally by a ripple Of amusement.

TRAMPS TAKE GREAT CHANCES
They Dive Into the Undersear of
Trains at High Speed.

The ordinary tramp will take
chances on his life in dropping in
under car upon the bumpers, that
make the hair on most railroad mems
heads stand straight up. Speed has
no terrors for these dare-devils. They
Will without wincing jump into the
undergear of train moving at speed
so high that a trained and veteran
railroad man wouldn't even think of
jumping on at the rear end of the
cabOose.
You can't keep them off," said an
old time Norfolk conductor. "They
Will stand around until after the train
starts and then, even when 1t gets up
such high speed as to be dangerous
to think of catching on the way car
steps, will swing easily and uncon-
cernedly into the iron underworld of
the car, as though they were merely
lying down in their downy cots at
night for comfortable rest.
THE tramps become such experts
at this train-climbing game as to amaze
old-time trainmen. You will see
lamp iuhSe lnlO lne gearing OF car,
moving at high speed, just as an aero
bat in the circus dives through the air
from one trapeze to another You will
expect the next moment to see Mr..
Tramp ground into bits. But that's
where your guess goes wrong. For
the tramp lands safely on his iron
bunk and stays there complacently
until the next station is reached They
get to be wizards at it,"
