His eloquence held the company
spellbound, and when he stopped,
deep "Ah!" escaped from the lips of
his hearers.
What pity! What PITY" said
Lesser Kollin.
whats the pity?"
"That they didn't elect you as our
Rabbi You would have suited us
better than the one who lets us wait
for him"
A faint smile spread over the face
of the Rabbi and he dropped his eyes,
When he looked up again he
glanced at the girl opposite him 1t
seemed to him that he had never be-
fore seen anything so beautiful as her
face beaming and shining as though
her whole soul had taken abode there
Now, Deborah" cried Lesser Kollin,
bring in your fish.
Deborah fetched the big platter of
fish. She placed it in front of her
father, but ere he had time to help
himself she nimbly and gracefully
seized the plate that stood in front of
the young Rabbi and placed upon it
the biggest and choicest part, the
head of the carp.
To fully understand the significance
of this carp, we must remember that
by an unwritten law the head of the
carp belonged to the chief person at
the table, who is naturally the head of
the household. 1t is his right, it is
the token of his supremacy. If, then
another gets the head, it must be be-
cause that person is considered SUI
perior to the head of the family.
1t was this breach of an old estab-
lished custom which made the house
wife cry out, in fright more than in
anger:
Deborah! what are you doing? This
is for your father'
The maid, however, with fiery eyes,
and blushing face, replied:

The day following the stranger
came again to dinner After sleep
less night he looked haggard and pale.
What ails you, my dear guest?"
said Mrs. Kollin, you look different
today from the way you looked last
night"
There is nothing the matter with
me-" he replied hastily, 81 am feeling
all right" And he glanced at Debor-
all standing near.
The dinner passed off quietly. Only
at the conclusion of the grace after
meals, beautifully intoned by the
guest, Lesser Kollin remarked:
81 am still of the opinion that it's
a great pity that the other Rabbi will
come None could have suited us
better than YOU
Again momentary smile lit the
somber face of the young Rabbi.
Late in the evening, when the twink
ling stars in the skies had smiled
their farewell to the Sabbath, our
young Rabbi called at Lesser Rollins
to say goodbye He found the whole
household assembled, except Deborah.
For the Sabbath's entertainment he
addressed thanks to his host and pro-
nounced benedictions over the heads
of the little Rollins, and went his way.
But where was Deborah? AS he
passed the gate he saw some one
standing on the street corner. He APP
preached, his heart beating faster.
"Is it you, Deborah?"
1T is l." said the sobbing voice.
What makes you cry?"
81 don't know"
"He seized her hand, which trem-
bled in his.
Deborah dear, tell me candidly,
would you like me to remain in this
town."
Eyes" she whispered into his ear.
"Will you be my wife? My true,
loving wife?'
Heavens! How can l think of
that?"

EAST COASTS MORTGAGE
Of $40,0oo,o00 Recorded at DeLand,
Fia.-company Funds to be Used
for Building the Key West
Extension

On Saturday there was recorded in
the Office of the clerk of the circuit
court one of the longest and perhaps
the most stupendOus mortgages ever
recorded in Florida. 1t was given by
the Florida East Coast railway, party
of the first part to Joseph c. Slater
of the city, county and state of New
York, trustee, party of the second
part. The mortgage recites the char
ter granted to the railway company
and the authority to borrow money.
II then mentions 1853 bonds of the
value of $1,000 each, aggregatinS ST.
259,00O, dated September l, 1897, and
held By the Colonial Trust Company;
also 8741 bonds of the value nf $1,000
each, aggregating $S,741, 900, dated
October l, 1902, and also held by the
Colonial Trust Company. The new
mortgage and bond issue is declared
to be of inferior dignity until the old
bonds are cancelled and satisfied.
The paper recites the authority OF
the board of directors and that they
deem it expedient that the company
borrow $4O,OOO,OOO for the purpose OF
it's extension to Key West, building
branch lines, consolidating, leasing OF
purchasing other railways or railway
property. as allowed by law, and for
the purpose of improving, equipping,
providing betterments. operating and
maintaining the same, for the paying
of moneys now owed by the party of
the first part. and for other lawful
purposes.
The bond issue of forty million dol.
lars is in two series-SerieS A, for
10000 900, bearing 1-2 per cent. in
tterest, payable semi-annually, and Sc
ries B. for $2S,OOO,OOO, bearing ) per
cent. interest, payable semi-annually.
AS security for this immense sum
of money there is given trust deed
or mortgage upon the entire roadbed
and branches, bridges, equipment,
franchises and other property used for
railway purposes, including the Key
West extension.
! Series A is declared to be a first
lien upon the property, and Series B
la second lien. Sixteen million dollars
are to be reserved to pay off the pres
ent bonded indebtedness.
The bonds are payable in gold, ana
run for fifty years from date.
Mortgage is given upon the road
way, running through Duval, st.
Johns, Putnam, Volusia, Brevard, st.
Lucie, Dade and Monroe counties.
The mortgage is signed by J. R.
PARROT, as president of the Florida
East Coast Railway Company, and at
tested by H S. Jenison as secretary.
1t is also signed by Joseph c. Slater,
as trustee, and is witnessed by A. V.
S. Smith and ]. P Beckwith.
The mortgage is dated May 1, 1909,
and was recorded in Volusia county
on May S.-DeLand Record.

HARD ROADS FOR MANATEE
COUNTY
HARD
Will Hold a Bond Election for $780,
Coo. 10 be Applied to the Making
IF Good Roads

At the meeting of the board oil
county commissioners last week an
election was called for the purpose OF
giving the people an opportunity OF
voting on the question of whether the
county should bond for $250,OOO for
good roads or not.
The last grand jury recommended
that the commissioners call the cleo
ton. and a large number of citizens
since that time have urged the com
missioners to make the call, and IL
was in obedience to this seeming de-
mand of the people that the commits
sioners ordered the election.
The election is to be held in June,
notice of which will be published in
each of the county papers for pc
riod of thirty days, beginning next
week.
The Record, on general principles,
is in favor of bonds for any purpose
looking to the betterment of cOndi-
lions of our roads or streets. Under
the present system we are taxed good
and plenty for road purposes, and the
road fund is nearly always behind,
yet at the end of the year our roads
are in just as bad condition as they
were at the beginning of the year. At
will
never have anything but sand beds
and public drains for roads. The
bonding proposition is the only one
that offers any relief.
We haven't figured on the PROPOSE
tion or investigated the why's, where
fores or anything else. We haven't
had time. Naturally we are for bonds,
but before the date of the election We
will do a little investigating and find
out something about who will distrib-
ute or handle the cash, where and
how the roads will be constructed,
and, in fact, all about the proposition,
and then We will tell the Record read
ers about it, and comment according
ly. If the right men are to be put in
charge. We'll carry out our natural
inclination and support the PROPOSE
ton. Our best business men must be
put on the job. Two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars is entirely too
much money to be put in the hands

HOW ELECTRICITY HELPS THE
TAILOR

The tailor has been with us ever
since man began to weave cloth of
wool and vegetable fibres and fashion
the same into garments. Styles have
changed, nations have become great
and vanished, generations have lin
gered a moment and gene on, but the
trade of tailoring has remained just
the same, and during all those thous-
ands of years, until the advent of cleo
tricity, just one invention was given
to the tailor to tighten mis- burdens
and that has been the sewing ma
chine. A few years ago all the tools
a tailor could command were his
goose, his yard stick, shears, needle
and thread, and a chalk-marked table,
wherein he must sit cross-legged, a
habit begot in those early days when
tailOrs perforce sat on the ground as
they worked and now an instructive
habit of the trade
loT's goose consisted of a heavy slab
of bronze or cast iron fitted with a
suitable handle and heated over a
charcoal fire. With this crude tool
clothes have been pressed through all
the styles from the toga to the latest
peg-tOp trousers. The handiest de-
vice perfected for this trade since the
sewing machine is the electric tailor's
goose which improves sanitary condi-
tions, reduces liability of cloth scorch-
ing and of fire hazards; it does away
with SCOT and reduces the tempera-
ture of the york shops.
Electric lights and electric signs
were among the very first of the cleo
trical devices adopted by the trade,
and electric fans were not slow to fol-
low. The small motor has been ap-
piled to the sewing machine, relieving
the tailor from the hard work of
treading the machine. The button
hole machine. cloth securing and
cleaning machines, rotary and recip-
rocating cloth cutting machines are
also motOr-driven.
The tailor still sits cross-legged on
his bench, and plies his busy needle,
and he smiles as he works, for we'll he
knows that the faithful servant, cleo
tricity, but awaits the touch of a but
ton to come and do the hardest work
about the little shop.
