well, Of all the unpropitious and in
eonsiderate times to ask such a ques-
tiony' cried Judith Brainard. mo one
but you, Dick Sanderson, would have
chosen it."
Her tones were almost wrathful, and
Sanderson shifted his gaze from her
mobile face to the top of his stick
which he twirled idly.
1.-THE idea of asking me for the
'steenth time to marry you just as
was trying to decide whether to Dor
row lemonade bowl and glasses from
Mrs. Drake or from the Bennington
girlsg
Judith pursued her troubled way,
with romance pushed far into the back
ground.
81 guess It had better be from Mrs.
Drake, because she's right next door.
though the Bennington bowl is much
handsomer."
Dick Sanderson rose abruptly and
lowered above the girl Of his heart.
81 think that it is all nonsense, and
wish that you'd let your career go to
pot AS my wife you can sing for
charity, you can run church choir,
you can teach the little daughters Of
the poor, you cam
"And all on your money! If you
really loved me all these years as you
say you did why did you wait to tell
me until-until- our money was
gone and l was poor as church
mouse?' demanded Judith, forgetting
her more present vexations in the old
grievance.
Dick turned suddenly grave.
Il wanted Aou to have your fling. /
think every girl should. It's wrong to
marry the first man who keeps you
supplied in violets and things. You
may find out that American Beauties
and another man are preferable after
you've been out year or two. And /
wanted my wife for keeps, not for a
brief honeymoon. 1 wanted
Judith rose abruptly.
81 know it all by heart, and so I'm
going over to see Mrs Drake about the
bowl and glasses"
Really, from what I've heard of
critics and writer's and other bohe
mians. / should certainly advise
strong dash of rum In the bowl"
His tone was light, but behind it lay
conviction, and Judith flushed wildly.
II might have expected you'd say
something nasty OF course all the big
people In music and art are not brand
ed drawing room but they do things.
And, oh, Dick, want to do something.
| want to show the world that my ed
ucation was not all veneer-that it is
practical"
Dicks eyes softened as they always
did at an appeal from Judith.
May come? I've never seen the
lions of the musical menagerie, and /
promise solemnly that / viii not pro
pose to you until it is all over"
''That sounds like my old Dick. You
may come and see the menagerie and
well, l won't scold If you propose aft
er it Is all over"

ATFIRST METHODIST CHURCH
Mr., Barney hollingsworth WEEDS
Miss Mary Platt, Both Of
Arcadia, Florida

The wedding of Miss Mary Platt to
Mr.. Barney Hollingsworth. that took
place on Wednesday night, at the
Methodist church, was attended by
large and fashionable audience. and
every thing passed off in the best Of
style.
The church was prettily decorated
with ferns, flowers and growing plants.
The bride looked lovely in her white
robe and veil. and the bridegroom
looked smiling and happy. Miss
Mathilde Mitchell officiated as brides
maid and was herself so lovely in white
as to be mistaken, by some, for the
bride. She had as groomsman FINS
Hooker, who looked his best. Rev. c.
| w. White in an impressive manner
pronounced the words that made the
happy couple husband and wife, Miss
Kate Carlton and Miss Susie Royal
we're the musicians, the latter rendered
on the piano, the wedding march, as
the bridal party entered the church.
Little John Treadwell and Carolyn
White were the flower scatterers that
preceded the bride. The .ushers we're,
Horace Carlton and Leon Stroud,
Accom- Parker and Roland Cline.
Each and every one did the part
assigned so we'll that the whole was
pronounced one of the prettiest we'd
dings seen in Arcadia for a long time.

Mr.. ]. T. Daniel, OF Spring Lake, is
shipping sweet potatoes to the Tampa
market in large quantities. He shipped
them to Tampa last year and made
good money, realizing dollar bushel.
This year he increased his crop to thir-
teen acres. He is now getting ninety
cents tushel for bis potatoes delivered
on board the Tampa Northern railroad
at Brooksyille.

to the cultivation Of sweet potatoes.

his soubriquet goes, has placed the
Presidents Secretary, Mr.. Loeb. in that
populous and swelling division, the
Ananias Club. 1t will be remembered
that Secretary Loeb about the time of
the sailing of the American feet on its
start around the world contradicted a
statement Of Admiral Evans to the effect
that the feet would circumnavigate the
planet and return through the Suez
Canal. Speaking OF Secretary Loeb's
denial of this statement, Admiral Evans
says; Mr.. Loeb is undoubtedly one Of
the best men who ever served as secretary
to the president, but am sure | can
keep him busy for a long time denying
things, II publish everything the Presi-
dent has said to me-" Admiral Evans
then quotes the President as having said
to him, as he left for his ship: Ere
member, Admiral Evans, you sail with
the confidence OF the president more
completely than any admiral ever did
before; your course is a peaceful one,
but you realize your responsibility If II
should turn out otherwise.
Much interest has been felt locally and
perhaps in fashionable circles through
out the country with reference to the
love affair or engagement, as II may be
between the Italian Duke and Miss
Katherine Elkins, daughter of the multi
millionaire senator from West Virginia
The engagement has been declared of
at both ends OF the line, Italy and the
United States, with considerable enl'
phasis but now comes the information
from Turin, the home of the Duke Of
Abruzzi that he is leaving for the United
States and he has recently purchased
jewelry to the extent OF 800, 900 lire-s
beggarly $4,000.

Boost Your Town

The Punta Gorda citizens are opening
campaign of publicity for booming
their town. This looks good to us, and
shows wisdom. There is scarcely
nook or corner OF Florida that would
not yield handsome returns for per-
sistent and intelligent advertising And
the harder the times, the scarcer the
money the greater necessity for such
boosting.

the northern end OF our county, is

sistent adyertis'y|'n"HS fifth fewer natural

"Oh WE'LL" says the lazy Arcadian,
"the new settlers to Punta Gorda must
pass through Arcadia, enroute, and they
will see what prosperous looking town
we have and some Of them will stop off,
and maybe we can induce them to stay. !"
Not bit, of It'll Punta Gorda Is going

Pest Said to Have Been the Mormon
Fly-Disappeared When Lights Wore
Put Out and City Was in Darkness
Infested Every Nook and Corner Of
City.
Special to Times Republican.

Dubuque, July An unusual pest
visited Dubuque, coming at night and
making life miserable for the citizens
, for several hours. There was q deuge
of weird, strange bugs which swept
down on the city like 81 devouring
host.
No one knew whence they came. but
there were millions of them. Every
where one turned to escape them, he
ran into fresh swarm which beat him
back with their wings. respecting
neither man nor beast.
Lights seemed to attract them In
particular, and everywhere that there
was particularly bright spot. thou
sands OF them buxzed around 1t in 8
gala carnival. The result was that the
lights began to blink out with punctual
regularity. and the city was left in
darkness. bugs and all.
The name of the pest is the Mormon
fly and they were far more numerous

mons wives in far away, much
maligned Utah.
According to the statement OF au-
thorities on insects. the Mormon fly
breeds On the waters OF swamps and
slougiis. and every year about this
time they prepare for flight.
The lights Of the city attract them,
and naturally they wing their way
toward them with all possible rapidity.
The insects are Of very short life. and
as soon as they fly away from a d.
rect glare of light, their vitality is af-
fected and they soon die.
There was no such a thing as get
ting away from the pesky critters.
They seemed to fnfest every nook and
corner OF the city. On the cars the
lights drew them around in leglons,
and merry makers returning from the
park. especially representatives of the
fair sex. screamed and squirmed as the
bugs became familiar, and falling to
observe any rules of decorum what
ever, insisted upon annexing them
selves TO the immediate anatomy OF
the afflicted ones.
