The death of II. II. Rogers, close
friend, was severe blow. The death
of his daughter Jean, who was seized
with an attack of epilepsy last fail
while in her bath. was an added blow
from which he never recovered. 1t
was then that the stabbing pains in
the heart began. Mark Twain died,
as truly as 1t can be said of any man,
OF broken heart.
Last Literary Work.
The last bit of literary work he did

latest important works. He also wrote
a book questioning the authenticity of

AS an after dinner speaker he was
always in demand, and in his unique

HIGHLY ESTEEMED CITIZEN

HIGHLY ESTEEMED CITIZEN The dispatches announced a few days ago the resignation of MT. McCorkle of Pueblo as secretary of the local board Of control of the Eighteenth Ma tional Irrigation congress. on account of i'll health, and the appointment of P. s. Dugan of the same city to suc- ceed him. B. A. Fowler, president of the congress. who recently returned from Pueblo, says he met MT. Dugan while there and heard a great deal about him from others. The opinion seems to prevail generally that he is one of the big men of the state and exceptionally well fitted for the posi- tion. He came west as a poor boy and with hard work. brains and com- mendable industry has built up a for tune that at least makes him independ- ent and to some extent the master of his own time. though he is a very busy man. But what makes him such a big man is his devotion to public matters and his willingness to help in whatever presents itself for the good of the community. Judging from his own observation and what he heard about him, MT. Dugan will make a splendid official, both for the congress and for his own city.

Ready With $4,000 for
Advertising Fund of $4,000

Perhaps no city in Florida is more
favorably known than Pensacola
where this city is known at all. The
trouble is that Pensacola has not
been advertised to the same extent
that other cities in this state have
been. Mayor Reilly struck the prop
er note in our opinion when he said,
THAT if We are to get the full bene-
fit of the present Southern movement
We must advertise our city
We have an excellent organization
in our Chamber of Commerce and &C
tive working board of directors. The
president and secretary have done
wonders to advertise the city consid-
erfng what resources they have had.
In our opinion the only thing neces-
sary now to start an intelligent,
thorough advertising campaign is to
furnish the Chamber of Commerce
with sufficient funds to pay for such
a campaign.
r We believe that there are one hun
dred representative firms and citi-
zens in Pensacola who can and will
put up 500 as a nucleus to fund.
We are willing to start the sub
scription and hereby pledge ourselves
to pay into the Chamber Of Commerce

Pensacola, Fla, May 26, 1910.
Editor Pensacola Journal. -
We notice by recent issues Of the
Mobile papers that one hundred Of the
representative citizens and firms of
that place have contributed 500 each
to an advertising fund to exploit the
advantages of Mobile to the world.
This action on their part is in keep
ing with the times. San Antonio,
Texas, one. year ago raised a sum of
SIS 900 for the same purpose, and we
are advised that no other one move
has resulted so advantageously to
the city as the one whereby this
money was raised and expended to
advertise San Antonio throughout the
country.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent in the Middle West and in the
East by Florida Land Companies in
the past year, as the result Of which
no state, as a state, is better adver-
tised than Florida, and Jacksonville,
Tampa, Miami and Ocala, where
these companies are located, have
reaped larger benefit from these ad-
vertisements and are settling up
rapidly with a desirable class of peo-
pie.

IN spite of the growth of knowledge
old illusions about wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
avid creature is held by many people
and intelligent people. too-notwith-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it. 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals. but not on ac-
count of his eyes being turned away.
II is because the animal is treacherous
and knows by instinct that anything
with its back turned toward 1t is de-
fenseless. Snakes are .looked upon as
evil at all times, but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness. No creature is more nerv-
Gus than a snake.
