Why Little Rosie
Will Never Run
.AwayFro Home

know you have never met Rosie.
Near little girl g. years old, for she
doesn't live In your town nor In your
county, nor in your state. She lives
Eary long, long way from you, dear
little reader. So shall describe Rosie
TO you before go on with the story IL
which Rosie is the heroine
AS have said Rosie is 6 years old,
Or she was her last birthday. And
that was several weeks ago. In fact,
st was on her 9th birthday that Rosie
did something which occasioned this
story. Well, to return to Rosie. and
aet the story wait a bit. Rosie, being
6 years old, is not very big, as you
must know, for one is never big at G..
And Rosie, being such "a little girl, is
mot very well acquainted with the
mays of the world as yet, for very
young people rarely ever know much
Rbout the great big, busy world; they
only. know about home. papa, mamma,
sister, brother, friends, chums and
school. OF course, there are many
Yhings connected with home, parents,
sister and brother and chums and
school that little folks know about;
but of the mysterious big world they
are ignorant.
Now. Rosie has no idea of distance.
She lives in a pretty village, and 1t IS
three blocks from her home to her
eapa's store and four blocks to grand
mammals, and five blocks to the
school where she goes to learn SO
many. MANY things. And it Is only a
little way to every place that Rosie
has to go. So, the world is a small
one to Rosie Of course, she has
been out of the town on excursions,
going on the train to the city, which
is half days journey from her
home. Her papa and mamma have
ALWAYS gone with her on these pleas
Nre trips, pointing out to her the
places of interest along the way and
taking her to see the sights in the
city itself: so that the little girl has
never realized the biggness of the
city nor the many miles they travers
ed In reaching it. The train has g
way Of getting to a place SO quickly
and so easily that Rosie has neve,
given thought to the distance i
travels in a very short time.
Well. a few weeks before the writ
ing of this story Rosie's mamma was
called to the CITY W 'islI hel elef

Rosie was left at home to keep papt

PINS.

Pins are simple articles, but very
necessary The earliest pins We're
probably thorns or small bones Of
fishes and other animals. Later there
were pins made of brass, copper and
iron. These pins were of different
forms and sizes and having gold or
bead heads. The pins used today are
made by machine patented by an
American named Wright, in 1924
| First, wire Of the right size is man
Iufactured, made mostly Of brass, iron
and steel are also used. When the
wire is wound on spools it is ready
for use A pair of pinchers take from
the spool length long enough 70
make a pin. The head being made at
the same time is Strengthened by 60
ing through studs.
The pin length is seized by Jaws
and Is struck by the die hammer. The
pin is pushed forward twice, each
time receiving a blow. The wire Is
then cut to the right length of pin.
After the head is made the pin is
dropped between two bars with a
small crack between them. The crack
is just small enough so the pin head
will not go through.
The pins, are now held in row be
tween the two bars. They are caught
between two parts Of the machine
which causes them to rotate. This mo-
| ton acts like file, and makes the
points on the pins. AS many pins as
| 100 a minute can be made by single
. machine The pins are cleaned OF
grease and other matter by boiling
| than in weak beer Thew are next
coated with tin and frightened by
shaking in a sack or barrel with a
little bran or sawdust.

The deputy was en- route to Fernandina
with his prisoner who was arrested at
Port Tampa on Wednesday by private
detective who has been working On the
case for several months. Cox was ar
rested by the detective, so the officer
states, because Of certain remarks he
made in connection with the case. The
murder Of Deputy Sheriff Johns some
four years ago was cOld-blOOded plot
in which several parties were suspected
of having part. Johns had previously
been sheriff of Bradford county and
was known to have many enemies
among the laWless class TO whom he
was a terror. He was known all over
the State as a fearless man who would
brave anything in the performance of
his duty as he saw it. A stranger came
in the Office of the sheriff one day and
got a warrant for a man whom he &C
cused of stealing a fish net. He agreed
tOtake Deputy Sheriff Johns to a place
near Fernandina where ne could find
the accused man. Johns left with the
