shipped on a lumber-laden schooner
bound for Boston. There he was paid
off and landed in the dead of winter.
He had never seen a snOwstorm be-
fore, he was thinly clad and suffered
terribly from the cold. An attack of
whOoping cough laid him up and took
all his money. Nevertheless as soO
as he could crawl ont he shipped on
one OF the winter fishing fleet bound
for the Grand Banks. He endured
hardshipS without complaining, did his
work with a smile, and thus won the
friendship of the men of the sea. Fol-
lowing his work on the Banks he
worked his way back to Florida as a
sailor. Next we see him as a roust-
about on a steamer on the st. Johns
river. He saved his money, bought a
part interest in a steamboat and struck
out for himself. His splendid fighting
abilities were winning him notice, the
while his kindly disposition was win
ming him friends. He was elected
sheriff Of Duval county, a position he
held nine years, and in which he made
a record which attracted attention to
him from all parts of the state.
The exploit which made Broward "a
nous throughout the United States
and Cuba was his ability as a block
ade runner to Cuba, during the time
the insurgents were fighting the Span
iards there before the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. In company with his brother
and a third partner Broward built a
stout, seagoing tug for salvage and
wrecking work off the Florida coast.
He was approached by Cuban agents
and asked to run guns and munitions
into Cuba. The work was hazardous
in the extreme, but the pay was COM
menSurate with the risk and BrOward
became a filibuster. In all he made
eight trips from the Florida keys to
Cuba and his perilous adventures and
narrow escapes would make a novel
in themselves. He was chased by
Spanish gunboats, fought with sew
eral of them and escaped capture and
death by a hairs breadth scores of
times.

DINING OUT WITH FRIENDS
How a Boarding House Romance Be-
uan Between Two Homeless lodg.
ers Who Had No Acquaintance.

Not until boarding houses cease to
exist will all their romances be writ
ten. Shabby romances, some OF them
are, like that of the young woman who
got so tired Of being called poor
thing" because she received no invi-
tations and had to eat all her meals
at the boarding house table that she
took to eating alone nee in awhile at
a cheap restaurant; and then brazen-
ly lying about the friends who had
invited her to dinner.
There was a young man IN that
house who never went anywhere eth
er. The first night the girl stayed out
life's desolation nearly overpowered
him. Even that poor little white

her" he said. Nobody wants me.
I'm no good on earth
Then on rare occasions his place at
the table was vacant. New friends!
asked the landlady.
"Yes,' lied the young
One night the man and the girl met
in a 25-cent restaurant. They blushed
they fenced, they finally confessed.
"We're a pair of frauds" said the
girl. It's awful to think that to
night when we go home We will have
to swear that we have been dining with
friends"

An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived
In northern New Hampshire a notOrl-
GUS woman-hater. It was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing a new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike Of women in gen.
nral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post Office.
when he wore the despised article.
Got a new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer.
mo, hain't.' said Obed. i've got
seven yards of cloth wrapped round

Miss Mary Richmond of the Phila-

The gentleman, a true ~philanthro-

the blind man fished It out.
The gentlemen said in a stern
voice:
