Took an Unfair Advantage.

Mrs. Dorkins Yesterday | called
Mrs. Grundage's attention to the fact
that she had left the gate between our
back yards open and that her chickens
had come through and scratched up
our flower beds, and she looked as If
she would have liked to bite my head
off. How foolish 1t is for people to
get angry when you remind them that
they have been careless about some
thing they had no business to over
lookl
Mr.. Dorkins-I am glad to hear you
say that, Maria. You won't mind II l
mention that when l came home last
night found that you'd left both the
back doors unlocked.
Mrs. Dorkins - Yes; you're always
watching to see If you can't catch me
in some little fault, and it makes you
perfectly happy when you do!-New

A. G. |. WAREHOUSE
ON RIVER FRONT
Collapsed With Great Damage
this Morning.

The long galvanized iron warehouse
of the A. C. L. Ry. on the river front in
rear of the old Florida Southern build
ings on River street, collapsed with a
terrible crash at 500 this morning.
The building was 1870 feet long on the
river and 40 feet deep. 1t was loaded
with heavy merchandise, and used as a
storeroom by the w. A. Merryday Co.,
the Kennerly Hardware Co. and VIM.
Turnage.
The Merryday Co. had an immense
amount of crate material in store, the
bulk of which will be saved unless there
should come rain.
The Kennerly H'd'w Co. had stored
several car loads of sash, doors, and wire
goods. Too early TO compute damage.
VIM. Turnage had two car loads of
wagons and other heavy material. His
loss will be considerable.
The building was loaded to the roof.
The underpinning had been neglected
by the railroad company and-the build
ing Inspector.

GOLD LEAF.


Made Now Practically as II Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.
In an article on gold leaf in the Mag
azine of Commerce John Mastin says
that 1ust as the date of the discovery
Of gold Is too remote even to be guess
ed at so is the origin of gold leaf lost
in antiquity.
On some Of the most ancient num-
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, etc., and
in some instances on the coff1ns also.
1t also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with "thin sheets Of
hammered gold" and skins of gold"-
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least in the eighth cen
fury B. c., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins
was, at any rate in the eleventh cen
tury A. D., substantially the same as
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made in the Intervening
nine centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot
terry Of the fifth century the gold leaf
used is as thin as that used today, SO
that in results obtained also we have
not advanced In the least, but still keep
practically to the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cof
fms of the third century A. ID. and
most of the Greek vases of the fifth.

What Store Windows Tell.

II is not bad idea for citizens TO take
a squnt into the show windows Of live
Palatka merchants as they pass along
the streets. They will frequently see
some rare bargains worth their while.
For instance there is new style and
desirable kitchen ware in the window
at Turnage'S hardware store that ought
to interest every house wife, and the
prices-5, 10, Is, and 20 cents should
sell lot of them in Palatka.
In the window of the Fearnside Cloth
ing Co. this week is display of mems
trousers. They are all pants usually
sold at from $2. so TO So. 50, but which,
for obvious reasons this firm has marked
to the attractive price of $1.4S, Last
week and the week before this firm
had window display of fine umbrellas
at 9SctS. For a time this company is
making a general reduction of 1913 per
cent on all summer weight goods.
In NJ S. Browns window there is a
display of 81 and S. low quarter mems
shoes at the uniform price of 81. so
while they last, Also in another window
a choice of straw hats at 81 each.
Miss Kate Lucas has window full of
choice embroiderieS at cost.

Pomona Housebreakers Held.

On Friday of last week Hon. w. S.
Middleton, as deputy sheriff at Pomona,
arrested Nathaniel Vincent, Bob James,
Will AShwood and Harrison Williams,
all young negroes, on the charge of
breaking into houses in that section.
These negroes were all in the employ
of Mr.. Middleton at his camp near Po-
mona.
For some time back complaints have
been made that houses that had been
closed for the summer were being en-
tered, and Mr.. Middleton as deputy
sheriff of the place was keeping an eye
out TO discover if possible the guilty
parties. He found some of the stolen
property on the negroes above named
and they were arrested and brought TO
Palatka. On Monday before Justice J..
r. Marshall all four of them pleaded
guilty TO breaking and entering and all
were remanded to Jail 10 await trial at
the fall term OF the circuit court.
Mr.. Middleton is TO be congratulated
on his success in breaking up this gang
of young criminals. After arreSting
them he telephoned Sheriff Kennerly
to send him hand cuffs, and on their
arrival, Mr.. Middleton in person brought
them TO Palatka.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

MeSdamcS Gillett and Jenkins, accom-
panied by Master Ed. and Miss Ruth Gil.
lett, made up merry shopping party in
Palatka last week.
]. H. Wylie, the good roads man,"
was also in evidence among the visitors
to Palatka.
DR.. Johnson OF PaIatka was called pro-
fesSionally TO this neighborhood few
days since, and owing TO the bad con-
dition of the roads incident 10 the recent
heavy rains found ii necessary to come
by rail instead OF automobile as usual
Miss Erma Baker came home from
BoStwick TO spend spend Sunday with
her parents, having completed two
weeks work in her new school.
M. L. Byrne, a knight of the grip from
Jacksonville, is taking the route this trip
for J. S. LcFils, who is ill and unable TO
go on the road.
Misses Anna and Marian Straus of
Chicago, attracted to this section of
Florida by the glowing descriptions OF
the Ocala- Burbank people, spent several
days exploring the country lying about
lntcrlachen, making a trip TO Rodman
by carriage and motor car, and thoro-
ughly enjoying the country air and fare
after the heat and dust of the city sum
mcr.
McSsrs N. c. and G. c. Putnam of
Iowa, Florida home seekers, accompan-
led by B. ]. Bowman, a representative of
the Ocala Burbank company, were guests
at the Lake View while prospecting
through this section.
Rev. J. F. Blackburn, superintendent
of Congregational Sunday schools for
Georgia and Florida, spent few days at
the TownSend'S, and on Sunday morn
ing delivered an address before the Sun
day school. He was again heard at the
evening service. lnterlachen has reason
to be proud of her Sunday schools, as
with but one or two exceptions, every
child in the entire community is en-
rolled as member of one or the other
of the Sunday schools and no school of
like character in the state can show a
higher average attendance for the num-
bcrs enrolled.
Mrs. z. L. Richardson of Avon Park
arrived at the Townsend home Tuesday
TO remain for visit of several weeks.
That the fish are biting "fine" is evi.
denced by the fine black bass exhibited
a few days ago by one of Mrs. Mann's
guests as one of his catch of the day.
This specimen weighed fraction over
seven pounds, actual weight, and might
of course readily be expanded in the
telling 10 fourteen pounds.

Holy Moses at Orpheum.

Every seat at the Orpheum Theatel
was taken on Monday and again or
Wednesday night, and there was good
crowd on Tuesday night
But Moses and the bull ruShcs was on
the first two named nights, and probably
accounts for the extra attendance. II
was not known before that Moses was
such a favorite in Palatka.
The life of this old patriarch from the
time he was rescued from the bull ruShes
by Pharoah's charming daughter, until
he disappeared in the mountain, was de-
picted by very clcverly shown moving
pictures.
In fact the pictures all this week have
been exceptionally good.
And SO was the clever work of Harry
Louine, the singing and talking coin and
card manipulation.
For the balance of this week in ad-
dition TO the pictures, there will be Gus
Denicke in music and comedy sketches.
Beginning next Monday night there
will be specially clever vaudeville act
by the Adde Musical Comedy Company.
The Orpheum is growing daily in pop
ularity, due in great measure to the i'm
proved class OF attractions-and the low
price of SEATS and 10 cents-togcther
with the fact that it is avery comfortable
place TO spend hot evening.

BURNED PAPER MONEY.
Source Of Great Profit to the Govern
nent and Banks.

Source of Great Profit to the Govern
ment and Banks.
At the redemption windows Of the
treasury and Of the subtreasuries Of
the country any silver coin that has
not been mutilated willfully and which
still is recognizable as from the mints
of the United States will be redeemed
at face value, this In spite of the
fact that the silver In the worn coin
may not be worth half Its face value.
AS to gold coin, the government stands
only a small portion of the loss from
abrasion; but, according to weight,
these worn gold coins always are re-
deemable.
In the case Of the paper currency
two-ffths Of note must be presented
II it shall be redeemed or q new note
issued, and, no matter what the evi-
dence may be as to total destruction
Of this paper currency, the government
regards 1t as the holders individual
loss with which 1t is no further con-
cerned Fire may melt $1,000 worth
Of silver coins and 1t is worth its metal
value. 1t may melt $1,000 in gold
coins and the mint will pay $1,000 In
new twenty dollar gold pieces for the
mass. But the ashes Of $1,000 In pa
per currency is without value.
In the thousands Of fires over the
country every year involving office
buildings, factories, business houses
and family residences an untold total
Of legal tender notes Of all kinds are
destroyed. Every piece Of such paper
lost is loss to the holder and gain to
the government or to national bank.
1t is a promissory note hopelessly lost
to the holder. 1t is even more, for In
many cases an individual man might
redeem his debt obligation If he were
assured by the holder Of 1t that the
piece of paper to which he had signed
his name had been destroyed by acci-
dent and by no chance could turn up
again against him.-Chicago Tribune

ANGLERS FLIES.
The Earth Ransaoked For Feathers
and Hairs to Make Thorn.


and Hairs to Make Them.
There are trout and salmon fishers
who pay several thousand dollars @
year for the flies" alone. Few per.
sons can learn to tie artificial flies
knotting hairs that can hardly be seen
so the skilled fly maker commands
high wages. The materials, too, are
costly, for the earth is ransacked for
feathers and hairs, and one hair wrong
makes "all the difference"
The business done In mouse whIsk-
ers Is considerable, for they are used
IN the making of a wonderful fly, the
gray knat," and they are expensive,
costing nearly cents a whisker.
Trout rise much better at mouse
whisker flies than at the same "gnat"
dressed in junglecock hackles, which
look much like them.
Bears eyebrows, being stiff and ex-
actly the right shade, are used in a fly
that has killed quantities of salmon
These eyebrows come from the Hima-
layan brown bear and cost about 1.50
set.
There are agents all over the world
searching tropical forests for the right
birds to supply fly hackles. One Of the
most sought after skins is that Of the
rare green screamer," an African
bird about the size of a hen, which has
tiny bunch Of feathers on each shoul-
der that is worth SIS a bunch to the
fly maker. One Of these birds sup
plies only feathers enough to make
rings for half dozen flies.
There Is no limit to the enthusiasm
Of an artistic fly tier, who will use
hair from his own eyelashes to finish
off an extra speciaP' fly. Babies hair
is much sought after If it is of the
right shade-golden yellow-for all the
lighter salmon flies, and one curl will
make dozen first class flies.
1t takes an expert only fifteen min
utes to turn out fly which consists
Of tiny hook with wings Of Egyptian
dove feather legs of fox hair and
body Of mouse fur wound around with
Il thread Of yellow silk. A carelessly
made fly will have neither legs nor
feelers," but the true expert adds the
legs and puts on pair Of long feel
ers" Of cat hair, white at the tips. All
these tiny details will be exactly in
their places and so firmly tied to the
hook that the fly will take half dozen
strong fish and be none the worse,--
