Old Days and New
BY Maude Wood Henry.

To one who loves to dream as well
as to juggle with the coins of Uncle
Sans realm, the city OF Pensacola
must appeal nightly.
Acquainted with the barest outline
OF its history, such an one can fill in
local celOr and revivify dead charac-
tsrs. For this is very old territory and
while q good many evolutiOns have
taken place since the first Spanish
colony settled somewhere on the bay
in 1853 flour years before the found
ing of st. AugustineD ana Pensacola
has just passed into another incarna-
ton, the finger marks Of Spain are
still visible.
A ChsnaefuI Career.
No tcFgn in the United States has
had so changeful a career as Pensa-
cola. II has occupied four different
sites; Spanish and French, British and
American have alternately possessed
It, seven times il has been attacked
and captured; after the first settle
ment the place was abandoned FOR
one hundred and fifty years; it has
been the capital of British West Flor
ida and of Spanish West Florida, until
finally Uncle Sam gathered it in and
it became AmeTiCaniZed in 1921, when
the state of Florida was ceded to the
United States. During the Civil War
the Federals and Confederates fought
for it. just as did the Spanish and
French, the British and Spanish, in
the old days. And yet one would say,
after reading its history, that il was
scarcely worth fighting for. since up
TO 81 it contained but 5000 inh9bi-
tants. Shortly afterward, however, ii
began to grow until today il numbers
over 80 geo souls and is recognized as
Mistress of the Gulf. a lovely city set
on hills, richer with futuTity than any
coast city Of the South.
The articles in this paper tell the
whole story of its commerce, present
and prospective.
The keynote of its growth is the
iong-Ieaf yellow pine which has made
fortunes for the mill man and turpen-
tine producer. Its exports of $4,000

GOO a year are growing each month.
1t occupies the center OF a great COM
ing agricultural territory and last, but
not least, il is the DEEPEST water sea
port on the Mexican Gulf, nearer
than any other to the Panama canal
and as such is bound to be the naval
and commercial base of the entire
coast inside half dozen years.

FIRST PRINCIPLES IN
RELIEF OF DISTRESS
RICHMOND. ersse Organizing


Since the political emancipation of
the masses the world has been fore
ed to revise many of its methods of
relieving distress. Man, the chattel,
was not very mucl harmed by a
method of charity that treated him
as necessarily dependent and so help
ed 10 keep him so; but man, the cit
izen, is robbed OF his birthright when,
in his distress, We take from him or
permit him TO relinQuisl any least part
of his power OF self-help. The child
that is TO become q citizen, the wOm-
an that is TO give birth to citizens,
the man who exercises that highest
privilege of a free man, tle right Of
citizenship, all deserve d better and
more inspiring charity than the char
ity of small doles. the charity that
keeps the body alive, but kills the
spirit of independence within the
body.
But long after thoughtful people
came to be OF one mind on this ques-
ton, they found IL difficult to put
their convictions into practical effect
because the old traditions TeasseTted
themselves The most emancipated
were hampered at every turn by char
liable bad habits and by supersti-
tons of long standing. Slowly and

people we must do things together
should make our help dependent upon
their doing themselves all that they
possibly can do to restore the whole
family to independence. If, for in
stance, We find a family in distress
and the parents Indifferent about
sending their children to school, We
should make all further assistance
conditional upon regular school at
tendance. If we find one member of
the family able-bodied but idle, we
should make our help conditional
upon this members taking the first

home is uncleanly, we should refuse
help unless it is made cleaner. If
money is being spent for gambling, in
temperance or any other vice, that
should be spent upon the necessities
of life. then we should not give ma
teTial assistance until We are sure
that the waste has ceased.

history as mysterious as the water
front OF Frisco. Here was the sailors

Latin chandleTy shops, music halls,

service of the ship captains and con-
tracing stevedores, chambers, butch
ers and tug-boat men. The air was
odorous with pitch and bilge water,
saw dust and stale beer and the IA

haunts were prints of clipper ships
and yachts Every variety of villainy

New Orleans Creole, keeps the name

with seldom a word. some two thou

Ia cant help wondering at the sudden

and departure of some man with whom
he is COnveTsing. Nearly every bust

habit and a fixed hour for dropping
into Roch's for a cup or two. The
same groups of men foregather there
each day, TO exchange stories. gossip
and business And when the big
storm OF three years ago blew the
