THE WEIGHT OF A CROWN
serlous-Faeed Boy, Ahmed Mira, is
the Ruler Of a Sinking
Empire.

London.-At IL years Ahmed Mira,
shah OF Persia. king Of kings" wears
on his face the expression of ineffable
weariness. Perhaps it is the climate.
perhaps the earlier maturity of man
in that warmer cline. but far more
likely the care and trohble OF being a
king and son of a king. He is the sec
ond son of the ex-shah Ali Mira. and
succeeded to the throne because his
fathers eldest sons mother was not a
Kajar princess.
But wearing crown in Persia is
toying the bauble Of a forgotten fes-
tiyal. as the blood of the Kajars may

To be sure there was only
$32.S5 in money involved. but
the principle was worth
something. and the soldier

as a basis. In order to find
out the truth of things the
government occasionally is
obliged to spend many times

claim cases ever known to
congress was that OF Sonora
Feliciana Mendoza, who
lived at Angeles, Pampanga,
Philippine islands. The Sc
nora rented a house to I'm
Gle Sam for the use of some
of his teamsters. When the
mule-driving contingent
moved out of the house after
a short occupancy the Sc

that some of the siding
boards were missing from

asked for 5000 in gold to re-
pay her for the damage to
her property.

FOR PRESIDENT or SENATE,

For president of the State Senate two
names have been mentioned, a.d the
choice will undoubtedly fall to one Of
two men. Joseph H, HUMPHREYS, Of
Manatee county, and representing the
district composed Of the counties OF
Manate, and DeSot,. is one Of the as
pirants. Senator HUMPHREYS has al
ready served ne term in the senate
and is thoroughly familiar with the du-
ties required Of prt,iding officer He
is the editor Of tie Bradentown Journal
and has for years been an interested
Spectator and active participant in the
political affairs Of the State.
The other candidate for tits import
ant position is Frederick N. Hudson. OF
Miami, who represents the district COM
posed of Dade, Brevard and st. Lucie
counties. Senator Hudson mas also had
experience in legislative work, having
repr esented his district for four years
in the senate. He is lawyer of Mi
ami, and stands at the head Of the legal
profession in this State. In our opin-
ion, saws the Pensacola Journal, Sena-
tor Hudson had no equal in the last
State Senate and we do net believe the
senate of Florida has ever seen an ADLER
man, one more conscientious in his work
and better equipped with knowledge
and ability to accomplish real results in
the way Of legislation than the gentle
man from Miami. While we have the
highest regard for Senator HUMPHREYS,
yet we believe that it will be sad mis-
take for the State if the senators who
go to Tallahassee next April fail to
elect Fred Hudson their presiding Off
GER.
