When lcebcres Are Near

TCEBERGS Indicate their presence by a
4 blink" in the sky long before they may
be seen. This blink is a path of sky above
them lighter than that surrounding. II is
caused by their capacity of rcfracting the
sunlight or moonlight. An iceberg in a fog
looks black. If Of any height, ii will send
back an echo when the whistle is blown.
"By noting the time between the blast Of
the whistle and the reflected sound, say the

CAUGHT MR.. -HUMBIRD ASLEEP

Our British cousins have been ac-
cused OF being devoid of humor for so
long that the following yarn is told to
remove the imputation in a measure
says Outing. Not so very long ago an
Englishman. just across, visited Sand
point, one of the large numbering
towns in the northwest. Practically
the entire town and country are owned
by the Humbird Lumber Company. The
Englishman was taken out into the
great pine forests where immense
white pines tower on every side.
ITO whom does this forest belong?
he asked.
ITO the Humbird Lumber Company,
was the answer.
He was shown through the large
lumber plant and informed that il be-
longed to the HUNDREDS. The fine bank
building, the great department store

belonged to the same corporation.
As a crowning treat he was taken
for a spin around Lake Pend d'Oreille
in a swift launch. Upon their return
while standing upon the dock. he ask

His Nightly Prayer
(Ocala Banner)

Mr.. Bittinger was a man of remark
able powers and his habits of life won
him many friends. He was of robust
frame; he possessed a strong, vigorous
intellect; a sunny, optimistic tempera-
ment. He opposed oppression in all
it's forms, and did not wish to deny
nor abridge the right of free speech
to any human being. Tolerant in his
own opinions, he was most tolerant of
the opinions of others. He was an ar
dent prohibftionist, and took a con-
spicuous part in all temperance move
ments. He was a strong advocate of
good roads and was secretary of the
association. He took an active inter-
est in our public schools, and used his
voice and pen to promote their eff
ficiency- For the past thirty years he
attended every school commencement
in this city, and being a fluent speaker,
was invited, and accepted many invita-
tiOns, to deliver school addresses in
this and adjoining counties. He was
a school enthusiast, and believed that
the public school, more than all things
else, was the prime factor in our de
velOpment and homogeneity. He serv-
ed on our local school board and his
zeal was always in evidence. AS he
was tolerant in his political opinions
Mr.. Bittinger was likewise tolerant in
his religions and creeds He believed
that the pearly gates would be closed
upon no one if truly sincere and de-
vOut. So sunny tempered, so gui1eless,
so favoring all things of good report
those who knew him truly believe that
his soul has passed through those gates
and that he is now robed in the glori-
fed garments of Immortality

such things pay for themselves thou
sand times over. Yellow fever has be-
come not merely obsolete, but vitraully
impossible, and l do not believe that
any questions of sanitation will ever
again oblige the United States to take
an active interest in Cuban affairs.
THE island is prosperous and going
rapidly ahead. Cuba is one of the most
accessible and potentially one of the
richest spots on earth, yet at the same
time one of the least developed and the
most sparsely populated. Only about
one-twentieth of its area is under any
kind of cultivation, and its people num-
Der not more than two millions. The
eastern end of the island, especially
is a storehouse of natural wealth clam
oring for men, highways and capital to
unlock it,"

LEARNED THEIR LESSON

"A British View of Cuba" is given by
Sdyney Brooks. of London, well known
English publicist, who is in New York,
after spending several months in Cuba
in behalf of the London Times. Mr..
Brooks summarizes some of his impress
sions of the island and it's problem as
follows:
What most Impressed me was to
find Cuba one of the cleanest and
healthiest countries I have ever come
across. Its death rate is the lowest but
one in the world, and it was almost be-
wildering to be forced to realize that
Havana, with the terror of whose name
all Europe and America have rung for
three hundred years, is no longer a
fever den, but one of the choicest and

In Ocala, the city where he passed his
last quarter-century, ne had the most
living interest. He took the greatest
delight in seeing the town grow and
improve. He encouraged every move
ment for the betterment Of the city; he.
attended all public meetings and faith
fully reported them.
In all these years. Mr.. Bittinger has
done an immense amount Of work. He
seldom wrote less than two columns a
day; he often wrote five or six For
the last two or three years. his work
has lessened somewhat, but what he
did would still have looked large to a
much younger man. He~never spared
any effort in publishing what ne
thought would be OF interest to the

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS
Variety Of Combinations Can Be
Served With This Edible Fungus
as Chief Ingredient.

Philadelphia hostess noted for
her delicious dinners. and especially
for various combinations that have
mushrooms as the chief ingredient.
says that the reason none OF her
guests is ever III after a mushroom
supper is that she always has fresh
mushrooms. never the canned OF
bottled sort. and always has them
cooked for ten minutes or so before
adding the various tid-bits that go to
make up the delectabie whole. Mush.
rooms require more cooking than
most persons think. and should be
thoroughly done before they are
served. no matter how much the i'm
patient ones may say. "Oh. they are
cooked enough; they will not harm
me" as every chatting dish cook has
heard them say at times. An Italian
dish which this hostess has discov
cred consists OF oysters scalloped
with macaroni and served with a
mushroom sauce. Cheese is omitted
and paprika takes the place Of cay
enne To make the favor more deli
cate. otherwise the oysters and maca
roni alternate and are fecked will
butter. as In other ways OF scalloping
and the dish is one for the gods
