A Cheerful Liar,

One time the late ameer of Afghanis
tan asked the English diplomatic agent
ut his court to give description amid
Il circle of Afghan boys of the largest
gun in England. The Englishman de-
Scribed the 100 ton gun, and when he
had finished the ameer observed to his
admiring subjects, II have seen a gun
the cartridge of which was as large as
the gun which has just been described
to you" 1t would never do for an
amcer to be astonished, much less to
confess himself beaten.

VETO KILLS ANTI-LEASE.
Florida Chief Executive Declares That
Present Measure is Not Legal.

Present Measure is Not Legal.
Declaring that proper provision has
not been made for caring for the state
convicts in the event of the abolish
ment of the present lease system, and
that he believes humanitarian will be
better conserved by continuing the
present system until there is better
provision for their care, Governor Gill
christ has vetoed the Angle anti-lease
convict bill.
Governor Gilchrist's veto of the An
gle bill, abolishing the convict lease
system, was read in the house. By
one vote the house failed to pass the
bill over the governors veto.
The governor says the bill is badly
drawn, and intimates it is a copy of
some other states law. Constitutions
ally, therefore, he says, 1t would not
stand in Florida. The bill fails to say,
the governor alleges, as required by
the Florida constitution, that prison
ers working on roads shall be consid-
cred as serving at hard labor in the
penitentiary. If the bill became law
the governor alleges, the result would
be a bonanza for the lawyers, and
they could get a prisoner released on
habeas corpus proceedings.
Governor Gilchrist says he desires
to get rid of the lease system, but that
the state is not ready for it.

Art and Nature,

Art is the revelation of man, and
not merely that, but likewise the reve-
lation of nature speaking through man.
Art pre.eXiSts in nature, and nature is
reproduced in art. AS vapors from
the ocean floating landward and dis
solved in rain are carried back in
rivers TO the ocean, so thoughts and
the sembances of things that fall upon
the soul of man in showers flow out
again in living streams of art and lose
themselves in the great ocean, which
is nature. Art and nature are not,
then. discordant, but ever harmonious
ly working in each Other.-Longfel-
lows Hyperion"

Mr.. Lincoln was not the Orator of

Windows.

Utility is the mother of searly all
decorative features. Windows were
first designed to give light. The his
tory of glass shows that the useful
has taken decorative prominence. In
old colonial houses glass In small
panes was used probably because it
was cheap. The sash was divided by
small pieces of wood, called mullions.
After many years glass came to be
used in large sizes, and of recent
years it has been the practice to have
but a single sheet, often in a very
large size, of plate glass. These are
permissible only where the view war
rants their use. The average house
or cottage is better without them, as
they suggest the show window Of a
shop rather than a home.-ArGonaut

TRAGEDY Of THE TOBACCO.
Rammed n Reef on Punta NaIa
on the Columbian Coast

Panama, Panama, May 2s.-Belated
news arriving here tells the, story OF
sixty lives lost with the foundering of
the National Line steamship Taboga on
a rock off Punta Nala Tuesday night.
The first news Of the wreck Of the
Taboga was lacking in details. The
TabOga struck a rock in the ocean off
Point Nala, while steaming al full
speed. The impact tore a great hole
I'm her Prov. through which the sea
poured in with torrential force. The
crew manned the --lifeboats at once
Two OF these boats were swamped
when lowered into the water and the
passengers Were drowned. The others
got of safely.
Not all OF the passengers or crew OF
the Taboga managed to gain the deck
after the steamer struck the rock
Some of the crew were in their hunks
forward, and the water was let in upon
them, drowning the men where they
lay. SteeraEe passengers met a sim
liar fate.
The boats which brought off the pas
sengers were headed for land. and
rounded the promonitory OF Punta
Nala, landing yesterday afternoon
Punta Nala is a rather Isolated Rpir,
and the news did not get through to
Panama until this morning.
The Taboga had a part cargo Of cat
tie and was on the regular coastwise
trip. The scene of the accident Is
about 100 miles from the nearest tel
egraph station. 1t is difficult TO obtain
details. The United States gunboat
Yorktown left for the scene OF the
disaster.
