More Marked In MonsreIs Than In

generally find, writes well known
English scientist, that mongrel dogs
when they happen to be sociable have
keen sense of humor. An aristocratic
dog with a pedigree may have some
inherited smartness, but has no origi-
nality. A common yellow dog with no
ancestry to speak of, who has to gain
his living by his wits, could give him
cards and spades at his own tricks in
two lessons.
Once | took into the house out of
pity a mongrel yellow dog WHO insist
ed on installing himself at my door
step and always came back, no matter
how often he was chased away. had
at that time pedigreed water spaniel,
and 1 tried to teach him some tricks
when 1 took him out along quiet road
at times. The yellow dog, who made
friends with him, always came along
and beat the water spaniel at his own
tricks without training. Then he be-
gan to play tricks of his own on the
spaniel. When he had bone he look
ed out for his comrade, and when he
saw him Looping along he would lay
the bone in his path and disappear
The spaniel always made for the BONE
but the yellow dog, just as he was
about to grab it, would dart from his
hiding place and, Selling it, run off
with 1t. This happened over and over
again, but the high bred spaniel never
tumbled to the joke.-New York World

osceola's Way Of Advertising

Finding ii one of the best possible in
vestments, the County Commissioners
have renewed their subscription for So0
copies of the Kissimmee Gazette, which
are sent to people in the Northwest who
are becoming interested in Florida. We
can imagine The howl that would go up
from some of our tightwad citizens
should the Commissioners OF Hills.
borough subscribe for copies of the local
papers on the same plan. A proposition
TO levy small millage for advertising
purposes was voted down at the recent
charter amendment meeting here, and
some citizens are opposed TO the expen-
diture of any public money in this way;
If the citizens OF Osceola have found
this investment paying one, it ought to
be sufficient proof TO the doubling ones
of other counties that such money is
we'll spent. Every day instances occur
which show the value of the OSceola
scheme. Tampa Tribune.

What State Editors are
Saying.


Another example of what persisten
fighting eventually do is shown il
the case of the Florida Legislature in de-
Gliding upon uniformity of text boo &;
for the schools.
For a number OF years there were
many conscientious citizens and teachers
who fought the uniform system, believ-
ing that il would not prove advantageous
to the school children and the parents
of the children, but one by one these
disappeared until sentiment was unani-
nous for uniformity, and the Legislature
carried out the will OF the people in
passing the bill
Thousands of dollars will be saved by
the people of Florida during the next
few years, for, not only will books be
bought at a lower price, but the same
books may now be used by the same
family for several years, whereas as has
heretofore been the case the text books
were changed frequently.
Senator West, of Georgia, who has
made the subject study for many years,
says the state uniformity of text books is
now saving the people of that state
something over two hundred thousand
dollars yearly, and that education is be-
ing better served. This sum seems in
calculable, but he gives figures TO verify
his statement. While il will not mean
such a saving TO Florida, the proportion
will probably be the same.
1t is claimed that the bill as passed by
the Florida Legislature is one of the best
and most thorough bills of its kind ever
drafted, and while Florida is one of the
last southern states to adopt such bill
there is satisfaction in knowing that il is
one of the best
The trusts fought hard 10 keep Florida
from adopting the uniformity of text
books, but they have been throttled by
the will of the people. Ii took a long
time TO win the fight, but the victory is
complete and thorough. They can now
compete for the business in Florida, and
may the best one get the business. Pen

Would Make Pretty Fight

The possibility of Gilchrst opposing
Fletcher for the United States Senator
ship next year is being discussed. Both
men have made good in their respective
positions, and should GilchriSt enter the
race ii will make a pretty fight. He will
have the advantage of location over the
Jacksonville man, and there is no deny
ing the fact that he is far stronger with
the people than when he was chosen
Governor. However, some of Gil
christ'S friends are of the opinion that
the honor of being Governor was his ul-
innate ambition, and that having been
gratified he will retire upon his laurels.
