Once upon a time a very wise lady
saw a chicken eat a pebble. Then
the wise lady told what she had
seen, with additions.
"a strict pebble diet is the only

 HIS STEPMOThER
Coprtship. Which Began When He Nas 10, Interrupted College Ca- reeY.

Chicago, April 16.-Harry C.. Beck with. of Chicago, son of Dr. George Beckwith, has welded his stepmother.

 News of the romance and the un- usual matrimonial venture has just become known. The bride is thirty. Harry Was 13.
 The introduction to the romance Is almost as interesting as the final chapter. AS a young girl Mrs. Beck with met pr. George Beckwith. They were. married and moved to Ithaca, N. Y. At that time Harry was 13 years old. After his fathers death, he corresponded with his stepnother and was deeply attached to her.

Lewis W. Zim, state senator from

first district, has announced his
candidacy for congress. He enters

no one would oppose the latter. Mr..

throughout the entire state, by his

In the hurry Of the moment and
through an oversight Saturday night
in referring to the fine showing Of
receipts made by the Pensacola post
Office We gave the period covered as
twenty years instead Of eleven, that
is from 1899 to 1909, inclusive. The
showing is indeed an admirable one
and the truest kind OF index TO the
city's advance in population and bust
ness. The gross receipts including
box rents in 1899 amounted to only
S21, 990.7S, the net receipts having
been $10,636.79; while the gross re-
ceipts in 1909 were $66,4O3.61 and the
net receipts $34,379.47. 1t is safe TO
say that not many cities can boast OF
having tripled their patronage Of

Palafox Parkway and
Garden Street Franchise.

The Journal has already published
the ordinance presented by the Pen
sacola Electric Company granting that
company a franchise down Garden
street for a street car track to con-
meet via DeVilliers street with its hay
shore line.
The franchise is requested by the
company as what Ii deems a proper
consideration for the removal of its
tracks from the center to the sides
Of the Palafox Street Parkway.
The ordinance as presented is. in
The Journals judgment, a model of
brevity and concise provision and with
one exception it has, under the cir
cumstances which produced 1t. The
Journals endorsement. That excep-
ton has to do with the cost of paving
on Garden street.
The ordinance provides that the
company shall not be required to pay
for paving on Garden street where its
tracks are not in the portions OF the
street to be paved"
The journal believes that this pro-
vision should be amended so that the
company will be required to pay for
its proportion of the paving on Gar
den street no matter whather its
tracks there are in the paving or out
of it, and for the following reasons:
1. The street car company will
! have the use of Garden street and,
having such use, it should bear It's
proper share of the burden when the
cost Of paving such street is appor-
toned.
2. If the street car tracks were in
the paving instead of In the grass
plot adjoining the paving. the COM
pany would necessarily have to bear
its share Of the cost when the street
is paved. 1t is an advantage to the
company, however, TO have its tracks
out Of the paving and it should there
fore be willing to pay its share of this
cost when it has the added advantage
OF having it's tracks entirely outside
OF the pavement traffic. In other
words, the company would prefer, we
take it, to pay it's proportion of the
paving cost and have it's tracks out
of the pavement rather than to pay
the same cost and have its tracks in
the pavement.
The Journal has always thought
that the Palafox Parkway proposition
and the Garden street franchise mat
ter should each be considered on its
merits without attempting to couple
the two up together. It has always
thought that the people should have
this Parkway and that the street car
company should move it's tracks IN
accordance with the peoples wishes
and interests regardless OF what be-
came Of the Garden street extension.
But as the street car company has
made one conditional on the other,
the case will Of course have to be
treated in accordance Herewith.
Under the circumstances, The Jour
nal believes that the ordinance, with
the exception noted, is probably as
good an adjustment Of the whole
matter as can be made at this time
and we trust the franchise committee
and the street car company will have
no difficulty in getting together on It
