COMPOSED OF MANY ISLANDS.
Monroe County in Florida Is Probably
the Most Unique in the
Whole Country.

Monroe county is the most unique
county in the state, if not in the
United States. The larger portion of
the county is made up of a group Of
islands or, as they are called keys
both on the east and west coasts The
only part of Monroe county on the
mainland is the Cape Sable country
the extreme south end of the United
States on the mainland.
The larger portion of this land is
what is known as the Everglades, and
but limited number of acres are now
under cultivation. What effect the
proposed drainage of the Everglades,
will have in Monroe county is not
known, but it is doubtful if any large
areas will be drained because of the
fiatnesS of the country and being so
near sea level. In the vicinity of Cape
Sable there are large bodies of rich
alluvial land and a considerable guam
tity has been under cultivation for
several years past
All kinds of tropical and semi-tropi-
cal fruit trees grow luXuriantly on the
keys and bear full crops of fruit each
year. Every key is surrounded with
water and the great portion OF them
have clean white sand beaches with
bluffs varying in height above high
water mark. All of these building
sites are in full view of either the
ocean, gulf or bays.-Jacksonville

~ II DINA'S RUBY
OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER AS He is
CALLED HAS STIRRED UP THAT
CITY TO A REMARKABLE
DEGREE.


Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-This
ity is at present in the midst of an
excitement beyond anything that it
las experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
ieem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was
stranger to Omaha up to two weeks
lgo. 49,
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper, President Of
he Cooper Medicine Co, of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
rs preparations in this city for the
irst time.
Cooper is man about thirty years
If age and has acquired a fortune
within the past two years by the sale
If some preparations of which he is
he owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
3eeded the young man here were of
he most startling nature. many of
he leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places rheumatism of years
standing with one of his preparations.
The physicians of the East contradict
I'd this statement, claiming the thing
% be impossible, but the facts seemed
% bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
aim by thousands and his prepare
ions sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
I'd as fictitious in Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
lad the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations
rs he calls them, in public, and daily
net people afflicted with rheumatism.
md with single application of one
ii his preparations actually made
hem walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work Cooper adj
Tanced the theory that stomach trou-
Ole is the foundation of nine out of
zen diseases and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as catarrh and
affections of the kidneys and liver, in
about two weeks time
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Omaha is APP
parently mad over the young man.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
of let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be a fad that will die out
as Soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished great deal for the sick Of
this city with his preparations.

CHAPTER X.-Continued.

He had been on deck long time
dat day, but Baraka had only been
established in her chair a few min
utes AS vet he had hardly talked
Nth her of anything but the neces-
sary preparations for the journey, and
she had trusted him entirely, being so
worn out with fatigue and bodily dis
comfort that she was already half
asleep when he had at last brought
her aboard. late on the previous night
Before the yacht had sailed he had re-
ceived Van Torp's telegram informing
him that Kralinsky was at Bayreuth;
for his secretary had SAT up till two
in the morning to telegraph him the
latest news and forward any message
that came. and Van TOrp's had been
amongst the number.
Il have something of Importance to
tell YOU, LOgotheti said.
Baraka prepared herself against be-
traying surprise by letting her lids
droop little, but that was ALL
Speak" she answered Il desire
knowledge more than gold.
You are WISE" said the Greek
gravely. No doubt you remember
the rich man Van Torp, for whom I
gave you letter, and whom you had
seen IN the day you were arrested"
Van Torp" Baraka pronounced
the name distinctly, and nodded. Yes,
/ remember him well H knows
where the man is whom | seek, and
ne wrote the address for ne. l have
it, You will take me there in your
ship, and shall find him.
IF you find him, what shall you say
to him. Logotheti asked.
Few words These perhaps: You
left me to die, but | am not dead, |
am here Through me you are rich,
great man The rubies are my mar
riage portion, which you have taken.
Now you must be my husband That
IS all. Few words
1T is your right" Logotheti an
swercd But he will not marry you.
Then he shall die, replied Baraka,
as quietly as il she were saying that
he should go for a walk.

The Way of a Woman,

The suffragette was practicing her
address for the Woman's Rights club
at her own little home Her words
were defiant. Women are the real
rulers" she grated. Men are marion
cites. Since the beginning of time
woman has been the real power be-
hind the throne; now she fearlessly
demands her place on the throne She
is triumphant; she defies the world;

Il have done worse" said Baraka
''for | have dressed as a man, and if
a woman did that among my people
she would be stoned to death and not
buried My people will never know
what | have done since | got away
from them alive. But he thought he
was leaving me there to die"
Surely. | cannot see why you wish
to marry a man who robbed you and
tried to compass your death! ! can
understand that you should dream of
killing him, and he deserves to be
burnt alive, but why you should wish
to marry him is known to the wisdom
of the blessed ones"
You never saw him. Baraka an
swereG with perfect simplicity. He
is a beautiful man; his beard is like
the rays of the morning sun on ripe
cornheld His eyes are bright as an
eagles. but blue as sapphires. He is
much taller and bigger and stronger

he not desire me for his wife? Am

me, and he would not. l do not I'M
derstand Am | an evil sight in a
mans eyes? Tell me The truth for
you are a friend"
you are good to ee, Logotheti
answered, stopping and pretending to
examine her face critically as she
stood and faced him.
Il do not desire you to speak for
yourself" returned Baraka. Il wish
you to speak for any man, since | go
about unveiled and any man may see
me. What would they say in the
street if they saw me now, as a wom-
an? That is what must know, for he
is a Frank. and he will Judge me as
the Franks judge when he sees me.
What will he say?"
Shall | speak as a Frank? Or as
they speak in Constantinople?
Speak as he would speak, l pray.
But speak the truth
Il take Allah to witness that / speak
the TRUTH Logotheti answered. IF
[ had never seen you, and if [ were
walking in the Great Garden in Lon
don and | met you by the bank of the
river, | should say that you were the
prettiest dark girl in England, but
that | should like to see you in
beautiful Feringhi hat and the best
frOck that could be made in Paris.
Baraka's face was troubled, and she
looked into his eyes anXiously
II understand" she said Before |
meet him | must have more clothes,
many beautiful new dresses. 1t was
shameless, but it was easy to dress
as a man, after | had learned, for it
was always the Same-the difference
was three buttons-or four buttons, or
high hat or a little hat; not much.
Also the Feringhi men button their
garments as the Mussulmans do, the
left over the right. but | often see
their womens coats buttoned like a
Hindu's. Why is this? Have the
women another religion than the
men? 1t is very strange."
Logotheti laughed, for he had really
never noticed the rather singular fact
which had struck the born Asiatic at
once.

Winninu Compliment,

The beautiful girl shook her head in
the negative.
NO" said she, after a moments
delberation. Il can never-no. never
be your wife. But I'll tell you what
| will do. Just to show you that
there is no hard feeling on my part,
I will be present when you marry
some other girl and lombard you with
my shoes for luck"
All, here was an opportunity. Quick
as a flash the young man responded
please don't. If you must throw
old shoes, borrow them"
And why not use my own?"
Because they are so small we
could never detect them from the
rice"
Flattery won. The beautiful girl
decided then and there that the young
man was altogether too clever for any
other girl. so she reversed her deci-
sion and the cards are out.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES EX-
PRESS PREFERENCES.

The result of The Tines poll OF
Government employees on the question
Of working hours, announced elsewhere
IN this issue, is s-rnestly commended
to the President and his Cabinet for
serious consideration.
The fact that approximately 10000
employees took advantage. Of the op-
POrtunity to express their preferences
stamps the poll as an index 10 the sen
timent of the employees that is worthy
Of attention. About one-third Of all
the Government employees in the Dis
trict voted, and 1t Is no more than
reasonable TO assume that the per
eentage of votes on the various propo-
sitions Is a pretty accurate indication
OF the opinion Of the whole army that
works for Uncle Sam in Washington.
The poll was overwhelmingly in
favor of the proposition that the Gov
eminent should not extend the hours OF
labor Of employees without additional
compensation. This result Is not sur
prising, but there is an advantage in
having it recorded by ballot; it there
by becomes something tangible. It Is
the voice Of the Government employee,
speaking 10 his employer IN the only
way he is allowed to speak. That II
should be considered, as the voice OF
the employee of a private individual
firm, or corporation would be con
sidered, needs no emphasis.
1t is interesting to note the large
vote polled for the extension OF the
working day to o'clock with the
Saturday half-holiday throughout the
year, and for beginning work earlier
if a longer workday Is required. The
sentiment Of the clerks on these propo-
sitions, as revealed by The Times poll
should prove a valuable guide in the
settlement Of the question of working
hours.

peated in every one Of the directories
extending over the period Of fourteen
years during which 1fr Mckinley was
a member OF the House Of Representa-
tfFes.
Determined TO discover the discrepancy
between Mr.. McKinley's statements as
70 the date Of his birth and the popular
belief on that subyect, Mr.. Burke found
that the first time Air. Mckinley-s birth
day was given IS January -. 1873, was
in the first issue OF the Congressional
Directory after his inauguration as
President Of the United States
After he went TO the White House Mr.
Mckinley undoubtedly was too busy 20

the work over TO one OF the executive
clerks For some reason which Mr..
Burke has not yet discovered the man
who wrote the sketch picked January

bers OF Congress who were consulted By
Mr. Burke on the subject. and particu-

any Hight on the subject but II Is CJu-
sidered remarkable that no member Of
the Mckinley family has called atten-
ton to the fact that CarnatiOn Day is
not Mckinley's birthday and that the
dag set aside each year for Mckinley
banquets and eulOgies. January is
a year and a month out Of the way. In
several States Mckinley Day IS a legal
holiday.
