The 1911 Fable Of The Treasure Locked Away h The Strong

NCE there was a Hreling at the
 tail-end of Pay Roll who longed O to get Chunk of Money so that he could own a House and pick out his own wall-Paper.
 He read an Ad in a Religious Weekly. It said to hurry and get a Slice of the Bulikon Mining Company because on Jul ly 1st the Price would be whooped from sl a Share to s275. The Guggenheims wanted it but the Directors preferred to slip it to the American people.
 The property was right up against some other Property so rich that the Workmen engaged In lifting ont the Freedoms Met al had to wear Goggles to keep from be- ing blinded.
 The Man fell for it. He rushed to the Savings Bank and drew his wad and sent it to Man with several Chins, who had to sit at Desk for several hours each Day taking Money out of Envelopes.
 The Stockholder received Certificate It had at the top an Engraving of Lady spilling Golden. Nuggets out of Cornu- copia and below was a Seal and the Sig natures of all the Officers of the Compa- ny. Anyone standing off ten Feet from this Certificate couldn't have told it from 1915 Bond of the Pennsylvania Company.
 Every week the Stockholder found in his Mail a Report from the Expert in charge of Shaft No. 13 In the Skiddyka- doc Fields Showing that the Assay ran s42.16 and the Main Lateral had been op- ened as far as the Mezzanne Drift, which meant that the s1 Share would be sell ing around $s5 before the Holidays.
 Whereupon he would pinch out some on Dress Goods and Cereals and send it to J, Etherineton Cutcle, Promoter, who was thus enabled to have new Collar put on his Fur Coat.
 Tn course of Time the incipient Monte Cristo had a Bale of Certificates.

ARE WOMEN REALLY
 P0SSESSEDOF SOULS

Tkeran, September 3.-(Speeia1.)- 1.-The supporters of woman suffrage should be gratified to learn that even in the midst of Tersias present trials and troubles, where the ex-Shah has raised his stand ard and civil war is loose, champion of the woman's cause has been found in the Persian Mejliss. This is none other than Hadji Vakil el Rooy, deputy for Hama dan, who astonished the house by an i'm. pessjoned defence of women's rights. The Mejliss was quietly discussing the bill for the next election, which takes place in the autumn, and had reached the clause that no woman shall vote. Discussion on proposition so obvious seemed unnecessary, and the house shivered when the Vakil el Rooy mount ed the tribune and declared roundly that women possessed souls and rights and should possess votes.
 Now, Vakil el Rooy has hitherto been 8 serious politician, and the house lis- tered to his harangue in dead silence, unable to determine whether it was an ill-timed joke or a serious statement.
 The orator called upon the Ulema to sup port him, but support failed him. The Mujtehid, whom he invoked by name. arose in his place, and solemnly declared that he had never in life of misfor- tune had his ears assailed by such an impious utterance. Neryously and ex- citedly he denied to women either souls or rights, and declared that such doctrine would mean the downfall of Islam To hear it uttered in the parliament of the nation had made his hair stand on end.
 The cleric sat down and the Mejliss shifted uncomfortably in its seats. The president put the clause in it's original form, and asked the official reporters to make no record in the journals of the house of this unfortunate incident.
 The Meiliss applauded his suggestion, and turned with relief to the discussion Of subjects less disturbing than the con- temptation of the possibility that women had souls. Yet perhaps some members havo their doubts, occasionally privately expressed, whether after all woman may not somewhat have soul.

SOMETHING MIGHTY SELDOM
A Beautiful Report of q Game of Base
Rail-
CLeesburg Commercially

The first ball game of the season was
played yesterday afternoon on the new
grounds in east Leesburg with Ocala
and was witnessed by a good crowd OF
enthusiastic admirers OF the home
team.
The game opened with Ocala at the
bat, and when they were retired with
out reaching second base, the crowd
grew more enthusiastic. In Leesburg's
half OF the inning a runner reached
second but could get no further. and
not until the tenth inning was there
anything except goose eggs on the
score board. In the tenth inning Ocala
made two runs. one of which was
earned. and put out the Leesburg bat
tiers in one, two three order.
In the seventh inning Leesburg had
three men on bases, but failed TO score.
In the eighth. Mills. of Ocala, reach
ed third with one out. The anxiety of
the crowd was plainly shown. some al
most quit breathing. and the expires
sions in low voices "a hit means a
rum" "a wild pitch loses the game"
If Frank can only fan them" We're
heard. but Doc and Frank We're equal
to the occasion and the run was not
forthcoming.
Harris, of Ocala, has grown stouter
and did not weaken in the seventh as
in former years. He pitched a beauti-
full game and was warmly compliment
| ed by Leesburg fans. who appreciated
good playing. Bullock caught a good
game and the rest OF the team played
excellently. The fielding of Harris was
also a feature.
For Leesburg, Gillespie also pitched
an excellent game, allowing only a few
hits and tanning quite a number of
men, and under ordinary circumstances
| would have easily won. His throwing
| to bases was a feature of the game.
Some were afraid Howell could not do
the backstop act, but their fears were
without foundation, as he proved TO be
the proper article.
The whole team played jam-up good
ball. but needs little more practice
| on base running.
| Everyone in Leesburg regrets losing
the game but none are sore over il.
Both teams worked harm and the score
of to o, 10 innings. made all feel that
they had their moneys worth and then
some.
! Royal Cole, who at one time lived in
Leesburg. umpired the game and the
kicks on his decisions were about as
scarce as the runs chalked upon the
score board.

Mr.. Hampton S Chambers. the pop

in view another idea, that of organic
ing a firemen's benefit society. They
were most successful in both matters.
The Jacksonville department has To-
cal organization of this kind with over
$500 in the treasury and Chief Haney
was just ripe and prime for a state
organization.
The three fire chiefs organized tenn
porarily and Chief Haney is to send
out circular letters to all fire chiefs in
the state, and get them into the or
ganization. Every fireman in the
state. both paid and volunteer. will be
eligible to membership. Reasonable
monthly dues will be collected and a
fund formed, out Of which sick or
crippled fremen will be paid weekly
benefits. In case of death. a funeral
fund will be formed and the mother
widow or other dependent relatives
will receive benefits in case of death.
