God made a little gentian; It tried to be a rose And failed, and all the summer laughed: j But just before the snows There came purple creature That ravished all the hill; And summer hid her forehead, And mockery was still.

BOTH GAINED
BY Chance to Postum.

We have given Postum over a
years trial." writes a Wis. lady, ''and
our only regret is that We did not try
it before. Previously We used coffee
twice day and were very fOnd OF it.
My husband had been subject TO
severe attacks of sick headache for
years and at such times could not en-
dure the sight or smell of coffee. This
led me to suspect that coffee was the
cause of his trouble.
Il was also troubled very much
with acidity Of the stomach and heart
nalpitatioR after meals. l had been
doctoring for this but had not suspect
ed that coffee was the cause
Finally we purchased some Post
um and it did for me what the medi-
cines had failed to do. The first day
We used Postum / noticed less OF my
own trouble, the second day was en-
tirely free from it and have never
been troubled since.
My husband has been entirely free
from attacks of sick headache since
he quit coffee and began 20 use Post
UNI.
Il have heard people say they did
not like the flavor of Postum, yet l
have served it to them without defec-
ton, because il has the color and
snappy coffee taste, similar to Kafld
bigh-gTsde lava. This shows they
had not made it right. When made
according 10 directions on pkg. il is
as delicious as coffee and besides il

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACCLIANS
San Carlos is Appropriate


The name San Carlos is to be
given the new hotel now being erect
ed for Charles B. Hervey at Pensa-
cola, Fla, at cost of 100000. This
was decided upon last week at a
meeting OF the stockholders of the
Pensacola Hotel company. There is
an ancient little fortress known as
Fort San Carlos at the entrance of
Pensacola Bay, which, during the Oc-
cupation of the city by the Spanish,
guarded it from invasion by foreign
powers. The selection Of this title
for the new hotel would, therefore, ap-
pear to be very appropriate. Pensa-
cola is most interesting city with a
very delightful climate, and it is be-
lieYed that the completion of the
Panama canal will make Pensacola 4
very important port of entry and a
great COmmercil point, so that there
will be not only a heavy tourist bus
iDess for the new hotel, but a large
amount of commercial patronage as
we'll The San Carlos has been Ieas-
ed for a long term to the HeFveys,
OF Mobile, Ala, who will furnish il in
fine style. 1t is expected that the
building will be completed ready for
occupancy early in the winter of
1909-1O.-NatiOnal Hotel Register,

tunate as there will be an extra seS-
sion of congress called during March
and it will find our state shy one sem
atoT who may be seriously needed in
some party emergency calling for the
full strength of the democratic mi
nority. Governor Gilchrist has recent
" appointed Mr.. Fletcher to the va
cancy that will exist between the ex-
piration of Mr.. Millions term and the
election of the former by the next
legislature, but General Law, of the
Barlow Courier-InfOTmant, makes It.
very clear that this appointment won't
stick and will not be recognized as
valid by the senate. When the term
of former Senator Call, of this state.
had expired and his successor had
not been elected the senate decided
that Mr.. Call could not hold over"
and also ruled that an appointment by
the governor to fill the vacancy until
the legislature could act would not
be valid and the appointee would not
be admitted to a seat in the senate.
This precedent, recalled by General
Law, seems 10 fit the case of Mr..
Fletcher exactly and to be conclusive
against the validity of his recent ap-
pointment. The gist of the matter is
that the governor has a legal right to
appoint only when there is an unex-
PRED term. and there is no unexpired
term in this case.-LiVe Oak Demo-

EXTREME HASTE
SEEMS SUSPICIOUS.

Orlando Reporter-Star.

There Is appearing in four leading
state papers an advertisement by the
beard of commissioners of state insti-
tUtions, signed by Hon. b. Z. McLin,
commissioner of agricultureS asking
for bids for the leasing Of the con-
viCts of the state of Florida for the
years 1910-11-12-13 inclusive, said bids
10 be made to the board on March ..
1909.
AT the writing of this article we are
not fully acquainted with the law
governing the advertising for bids for
the lease Of the state convicts, but to
a man up a tree there seems to be an
unholy desire to rush the matter
somewhat Unduly.
Everybody knows that the next
state legislature will take up and con
slider the convict lease system, with a
view to its Improvement. It has been
discussed BY the papers of the state
and by prominent men who are inter
ested in the matter. The question has
become of even more Importance since
the discussion and legislation of the
same matter in Georgia.
There is nearly an entire year be-
fore the present lease shall have
been terminated and it would seem
like there viii be ample time in which
to secure bids, should the legislature
make no change in the plan.
But, just a little while before the
legislature shall meet the thing is ap-
paTently hurried through and bids
must be Ia to cover four years under
the old system.
WHY?
What is the purpose of this?
Why lease these conYICts for four
more years one year in advance Of
the time and insist that bids must
be in just prior TO the meeting of the
legislature?
If this thing goes through does It
not mean another four years Of the
old system by reason OF the vested
rights of the lessees? 1t has been
charged time and again that there is a
pile of money for somebody in snb-
leasing the conviets and article No.
II of the advertisement in question
distinctly states The successful bid
der or bidders will be
allowed to suitcase prisoners"
If this meat in the cocoanut were
not in the present lease plan much of
the Objectionable feature would be re-
moved.
A certain class of politicians and
newspapers talk about the wasting of
sickly sentiment on the criminals"
There is no siekFy sentiment about

Some forms of crime are loathsome,
