of judgment Of the honorable gentle
mer who made the selection, These
gentlemen reached their conclusion
only after most careful and discrim.
mating study Of the exhibits.
Many people think the pineapple the
most delicious Of all fruits. All must
admit that it Is food TT for the gods. ="
And this most delicious, fragrant, and
appetiziag birth from the BOSOM of the
soil finds It's most perfect and palatable
growth in the Florida peninsula. Cut
one of these remarkable productions
when it has just reached the proper
stage of ripeness, when the tissue is
soft throughout and tinctured with a
yellow as delicate and indefuable as a
rosy sunset clouds; when the rich,
sweet juice flows freely in such ample
abundance as almost to float the solid
portions if placed In a saucer; sprinkle
over it little sugar II you like but
not too much and you have before you
a feast to Danish care and sorrow by
the sheer rapture it sngepders through
catering TO gustatory delight.
1t must be remembered, too, that
one Of the greatest merits of the pine
apple is its easy digestibility. 1t, in
fact contains the elements of self-di.
gestion, and at the same time nutri-
tious principles of the highest order.
Hence It's juice is one OF the finest of
all foods for the invalid and viii be
retained on the stomach that rejects
nearly every sort OF nour.shment, It
will thus be seen that the triumph Of
st, Lucie and its commissioner is by no
means a small one, and both deserve
the highest praise that can be bestow-
ed,-Tampa Tribune.

Florida's Young Senator Succumbed to
Fever Funeral Wednesday.

United States Senator William
James Bryan of Florida died at Provi-
dence hospital, Washington, d. G., at
$50 o'clock Sunday morning of ty-
phoyd fever, He passed away peace
fully with his wife holding bis hand
and his brother, n. p Bryan, being
present when the end came. II was
only seventy-three days since he took
his seat as the successor of the late
Senator Stephen r. Mallory, who died
December %, and thirt-three days of
that time was spent in his hghtN
against disease. Several times during
Mr.. Bryan's illness his friends dispair-
ed of bis recovery, but up to as late as
Saturday night the report was given
out that his condition had taken turn
for the better His death, therefore,
came as surprise and a distinct shock.
In physique Mr.. Bryan was unfit to
Withstand protracted fever. He was
slight of build and of nervous tempera-
ment. He went to Washington early
in January from the warm climate of
Florida, and from the day of his arri-
val was far from we'll. Finally he was
compelled to give up and was taken to
Providence hospital. During the last
few days Of his illness he was attended
by specialists from Johns Hopkins
University hospital, Baltimore.
In Mr.. Bryan the senate loses the
seventh member by death since the adj
iournment of the 6fty-ninth congress
GA March 4, a year ago. They wege

Whyte of Maryland aud Mr. Bryan
Curiously the last two were the oldest
and the youngest members Of the body.
Mr., Whyte was - years old and Mr..
Bryan less than 32
Although Mr. Bryan was In the SEN
ate TOO short a time to impress his in
diyiduality on Legislation or to take o
prominent part in the consideration of
matters in committee, it is conceded
that he would have become torceful
part Of the minority.
Mr.. Bryan was born in Orange coun-
ty, Fla. October 10, 1876. He attend
ed the public schools of his state and
Emory college, Georgia graduating
from the latter institution in 1896.
Three gears later he was graduated
from Washington and Lee university
and ia 1899 began the practice of law
in jacksonville, Until a short time
