Getting an Autograph.

A Munich boy of fourteen. who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seitz's paintings. was anxious to se- cure the painters autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote a letter. stat ing that he had sent case of wine to the professors address. and wanted to know whether it had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient i'm portance the painter did not write, but called at the address given. met the boys mother. and the fraud soon be- came apparent. The boy was thor ougly scolded. and next day received this autograph note:

Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deat IS than famine. more failures than banics. It costs more than war, is always failure and is never necessary, said medical man. Fear weaken's the hearts action. in- duces congestion. invites indigestion. produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto- poisoning. which either directly causes or greatly aids in the production of quite 90 per cent of all our diseases.

Her Usual Line of Talk.

A certain Louisville social leader,
whom we will call Mrs. Fayette Coun-
ty, to avoid identifying her, was told
by her husband over the telephone
that he would bring q number Of
guests home to dinner. The party was
altogether unexpected, and in all the
house, which has become noted for the
generous and sumptuous dinners spread
In it, there was not enough food.
Mrs. County got busy at once and
instructed her cook to order certain
supplies while she planned the rest of
the dinner A little later Mrs. County
happened in the room where the tele7
phone was and was Mortified to hear
the cook talking ferociously into the
telephone, something as follows:

NO MORNING TRAIN
FROM LEESBURG
1t Would Mean Too Long a Run for the
Train Crew
Jacksonville, April 2.

Jacksonville, April 2.
Mr.. T. T. Munroe, President Ocala
Board Of Trade: Dear Sir-I am in re-
ceipt of your letter of March 29th with
reference to the establishment of
the daily train from Ocala to Jackson
vile and return, and the further sug-
gestion that the train run from Lees
burg via Ocala.
We expect, about April 18th, to put
on the train suggested-that is, from
OcaIa to Jacksonville and return. The
question of the extension of this run
to Leesburg was very carefully gone
into last year, and our conclusions
We're that there was not sufficient bus
mess to Justify the additional expense
that its operation between Ocala and
Leesburg would mean. To do this, and
to afford sufficient time in Jackson
Vile to allow people whom the train
served time to properly handle their
business, would put the crew on duty
such an extreme length of time that
one crew could not handle the train.
There is, as you know, almost no pas
senger business. outside of the Lake
Weir people, to be served. l think we
will be able to take care of the Ocala
people who have summer homes on
Lake Weir as heretofore, by means OF
our local freight. and 1 trust that the
service will be satisfactory to YOU

ONE sCHARGE.

Doubtless after months of patient
search and the most watchful scrutiny,
the anti-Taliaferro bunch" which has
its headquarters at the office Of the
Miami Metropolis, has discovered
something in the record of the Sena-
tor that, by diligent shaping and
twisting and padding has been con-
verted into a charge against him.
Over three double-columns in the
Metropolis are devoted TO the bringing
of this terrible accusation.
The enormity of the offense is such,
in the eyes of those who charge it,
that we may well imagine that they
are expecting the immediate result to
be the withdrawal of Senator Talia-
ferro from the race in humiliation and
disgrace.
The charge is, in so many words,
that Senator Taliaferro remained
away from a meeting of the Senate
Committee on Corporations of the Dis
trict of Columbia. That was the basis
of fact to the whole story. We have
no doubt that Senator Taliaferro did
stay away from that meeting and we
presume that the Senator himself
would not hesitate to admit il. 1t is
upon this bare fact that the Metropo-
lis bases wonderful story-a story
strikingly of the sort that character
lied the columns of the notorious Tai
lahassee Sun and with the paucity OF
foundation which usually appeared in
that Journals sensations.
Here's the fiimsy superstructure that
the Metropolis rears about that soli-
tary morsel of fact: \ gas franchise
was involved in the particular meeting
of the Senate committee; il was to the
interest of the gas company that the
meeting be not held: Senator Italia
ferrO stayed away from the meeting
through friendship for the gas corpo.
ration, owned by John r. Mclean
Taliaferro is the hireling of FlagleI
and Mclean is the friend of Flagler
hence the fact that the Senator didn't
attend the meeting is proof conclu-
sive that he is the tool of the corpora
tons and not fit to represent Florida
in the Senate.
Have you grasped the whole thing.
Isn't it enormous?
Because TaIiaferro didn't attend 2
certain meeting of certain committee
he ought to be defeated for reelection
Doubtless Senator Taliaferro did MOI
regard the meeting in question as OF
as much Importance as some other
business he had on hand just at thai
time. Maybe he was at a meeting o,

which he is a member, where matter.

The Star noticed in a communication
in the Sumterville Times, from a
friend in California, who writes all
about the war that state has made on
the community school tin cup that
does service for all the members of a
school, including the teacher. unless
she supplies her own, and which cup
remains in service until hole rusts
in 1t and cannot be used, be it a year
or ten, without 1t ever being cleaned.
Investigation has demonstrated such
cup used by every child, some with
bad colds, others with fever, consump-
ton, etc, must communicate disease,
so 1t was decreed by the state of cali
fornia that the community school
drinking cup must go and day was
set for their destruction, when every
drinking cup in every public school in
that state will cease to do service and
spread disease and death. and in its
stead every scholar will have his or
her cup and the water so provided that
each child must draw it's own water
and in this way every possibility of
disease being spread, will be prevented.
