AT Greenwich, Conn, the United
Workers, an organization composed
principally of wealthy persons. having
as their object to do all the good DOS.
slble in the most practicable way. is
having the dentists of the city to fill
the teeth of those who are unable to
pay regular prices for the same for
the sum of ten cents. This charge is
made in order that the children and
their parents may feel that they are
paying in a measure for what they
get. Scores of children have had
their teeth attended to. The patient
must reside in Greenwich and must
present himself or herself at the
rooms of the United Workers on spec

work done. The United Workers
have interested the dentists in their

COTTON BEARING TREES
They Grow in Mexico, and Test is
To Be Made of the Fiber

They Grow in Mexico, and a Test is
To Be Made of the Fiber
A test is to be made of the value
of the fiber Of the cotton bearing
trees which grow wild in Sonora and
Sinaloa, Mexico, says a dispatch to
the New York Sun. The tree is
known to the Mexicans as the aldone.
The staple Of the cotton is not as long
as that grown by the American plant
er, but there is no need of ginning it.
Merely flaying it with a pole while it
is spread out on a canvas or a floor
will rid it of seeds. The staple is
about an inch long.
Charles Cummins, a rancher, who
has a hacienda near La Pastorilla, in
Sonora, has been experimenting with
the cotton and is preparing to put up
a small mill to weave cloth as an ex-
pertinent. He believes that he will
be able to produce a cloth as good an
anything that can be made from or.
binary cotton, and if so he says there
is enough of the product in Mexico ia
supply that country with all the cot
ton goods it will need.
The Mexicans have never attempt
ed to weave the fiber, but they have
for ages been using the lint for filling
mattresses and pillows, and they find
that it is far superior to ordinary cot
ton. as it is spOngy and does not gath.
er into knots.
The bOlls are much larger than the
cotton bolls. The method Of the Mex
leans in gathering the cotton Is to pull
the bOlls just about the time they are
ripe enough to open. and before they
begin to drop their contents, and TO
let them dry, when they will crack
open and the lint can be removed cas-
lily. The lint is then piled on a can
vas or a floor and is failed after the
old fashioned way of threshing wheat,
and the seeds readily drop out of the
lint. The fiber is then gathered I'D
and is ready for use.
Mr.. Cummins says the fiber is
stronger than the American cotton.
and he believes the cloth will be more
durable.

THE GREATEST LAWYER

In the annals Of the American bsi
there are hundreds OF lawyers, any
one of whom we might designate in
absolute confidence the head Of the
profession. Marshall and fancy.
chief justices of our supreme bench
from 1901 to 1864, were agreed that
William Pinkney was the greatest
lawyer that ever pleaded before that
Tribunal, and there is tradition that
some of the opinions handed down by
these great jurists were impregnated
with the style of the great lawyer
who had expounded the law to them.
Daniel Webster said that when in
New England he decided that Jere-
miah Mason was the first lawyer in
America, and that when in the Dis
trict of Columbia he gave first place
TO John Marshall; but his private
opinion was that there was another
greater than either or both of them
meaning Daniel Webster himself, and
possibly he was right about it. Ru-
fus Choate, Ben Hardin. Robert
TOOmbs. Ben Hill, Charles O'Connor,
Jere Black, Matt Carpenter Caleb
Cushing, Allen G. Thurman, John c.
Spooner, John G. Carlisle-any one
of these we may call the head of the
American bar, for there are a thous-
and "bes lawyers" On form, as the
race track folk say, William NJ. Ev-
arts was the greatest lawyer. He sue
cessfully defended Andy Johnson in
the impeachment proceedings; he sue
cessfully defended Beecher at the suit
of TiltOn; he successfully pleaded the
cause of the United States at the Ge-
neva arbitration; he successfully con-
Quoted the case of R. B. Hayes before
the electoral commission OF 1877. His
was to be chief justice, and
if Salmon P. Chace had been elected
president he would have been chief
justice.
There died last Friday at Frank
fort, KY, a lawyer the equal of any
jurist who ever sat on any bench, or
ever pleaded at any bar-William
Lindsay. Strange to say, he was a
dull boy at school. He was one of
Forests troopers in the big war, and
when little past thirty he was chief
Justice of Kentucky, and made more
decisions that became leading cases"
than any other man in the history of
the Anglo-Saxon race who was on the
bench no longer than he.
If William Lindsay had been bless
ed with the winning ways" of Joe
Blackburn, he would have been
greater than Caesar" He was an
honest man.-Washington Post.

Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy Them
Do not neglect indigestion. which
leads to all sorts of ills and compli-
cations An eminent doctor once said
that ninety-five per cent. of all the
ills of the human body have their orr
gin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a specially
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
lpepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.

the relief of acute indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients

OFFICIAL ROUTE FOR THE AU
TOISTS

Messrs. Spencer and Carmichael
are back from Tampa, where they at
tended the meeting to select an off
cial route for the Automobile Associa-
ton of Florida between Tampa and
Jacksonville.
Both the east and west sections of
the state were strongly represented,
and the arguments of each were so
strongly put that it ended in the Sc
lection Of both routes. That is TO say,
there will be a circuit, or belt route,
going one way and returning the 9TH
er-thus giving the tourist and invest
or the opportunity of seeing both sec
tions Of Florida.
The following are the routes agreed
upon as official:
Official Tampa-JacksonVilIe Route
Tampa to Jacksonville-Gree Dade
City, Brooksville, Inverness, Dunnel-
lon, Ocala, Micanopy, Gainesville,
TOtal-Distance 2454 miles. Time,
10 hours, "a minutes. Average, 16
miles.
Returning TO Tampa-St. Augustine,
OrmOnd, Daytona, DeLand, Sanford,
Orlando, Kissimmec. LOughman,
Haincs City. Winter Haven, Barlow,
Lakeland, Tampa.
Total-Distance 1918 miles Time,
% hours, Il minutes. Average 10 Is
miles.
The interest thus taken, and the
adoption Of this belt route means a
great deal for the future of Florida.
1t will give the stranger the oppor
tunity to judge of the respective mer-
it's of the two sections by comparison.
and will create friendly rivalry that
will eliminate to the interest of both.
In the name and on behalf of the
people of Ocala this paper returns a
vote of thanks to Messrs. Spencer and
Carmichael for the interest they have
manifested in the matter. and for hav-
ing the official route made directly
through the heart of our county.

Warwick, when near his end: See
in what peace a Christian can die!"
When Vespasian, the Roman emper.

the Obscurity OF a Spanish village
felt that he was dying he told his at

grimmest jests that ever fell from the

the Roman custom to apOtheOsize the
dead emperor as soon as the breath
had left his body. and Vespasian' 5
sarcasm showed how little the rough
soldier of the cap believed in the ser
vile adulation of palaces.
Death of Nero
The death of Nero is one of the
most tragic in all history. Suetonius
has described in vivid language how
the fugitive emperor lay in hiding in
a miserable hovel outside the city,
awrae that the search parties were
close upon his trail. and trying TO
nerve himself tdo eli Dogwtt,, shruld
nerve himself to die with dignity by
his own hand, he kept muttering,
Come, rouse yourself" This BELTS
not Nero" Ills shameful for me to
live" Then the consummate actor
in his nature came to the surface, and
he exclaimed: What an artist per-
ishes in me-" And when the sound
of horses hoofs came nearer and
nearer, he quoted line from a Greek
play, 10, the sound of swift-footed
horses strikes upon my ear" Then,
when at length he took the sword
and stabbed himself, his last words
contained the bitter cry, "Such is 10y
atty" Yet he found loyalty even in
death, for his old nurse took up the
body and buried it with loving care.
Passages from the Psalms have of
ten been on the lips of dying Chris
tians. The verse, Into thy hands, o,
Lord, commend my spirit" was
breathed in their last moments by Ba-
sill the Great in $40 by Charlemagne
at Aix-la- Chapelle in S14, by Martin
Luther and by the pious George Her
bert in the rectory house at Bemer-
ton.
Mary Queen of SCOTS uttered it
with a sigh as she knelt before the
scaffold at Fotheringay, and the line,
Into thy hands, o, Lord, into thy
hands" was the last spoken by Sir
Henry Irving on the stage at Brad
ford before he was stricken down.
When Charles Wesley lay dying he
quoted from the seventy-third Psalm,
MY flesh and my heart faileth."
When his more illustrious brother
was on his deathbed in 1891, it was in
the Psalms that he found consolation.
THE clouds drop fatness," he was
heard to say, and again, ''The lord of
hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is
our refuge" and, last Of all, "The
best Of all is God is with us."-Balti-
