TWO MULES WITH HISTORY
The Only Hybrlds in the Geographical
Service Are Sent to
Kauai.

Two mules with history were
shipped down to w. B. Hardy on the
Island of Kauai recently. He is car
rying on the work of the geograph-
ical and water research branch of the
department there, and it was found
that animal transportation was the
only way to meet the difficulties.
There were only two mules in that
branch of the service and they were
over in California. Likewise Hardy
was the man who worked them over
there when he was on the mainland.
Now he and his friends will be re-
united on Kauai.
The work of the department on that
island is arduous owing to the fact
that where the water runs are not al
ways roads Accordingly, some means
have to be found by which the in
vestigator could get about. He has a
saddle and pack and can ride the
mules as far as he can get them over
the tracks, and then do the rst of the
work on foot. The work necessitates
constant travelling of a rough sort

Not a Cheap Building.

It has been estimated that to re.
build the pyramid of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure of
$100,000,000 would be necessary and
the labor of 10000 men for two years
required.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 1000
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies a space of
twelve and three-quarters acres, Is 746
feet high and contains about 1885,
900 cubic yards of stone and gran
ite.
The material alone represents an
item of s36,OOOOOO, while the labor
would increase this amount to $72,-
100000 To this must be added $3,-
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.
The pyramid is built on solid rock
$50 feet deep, and to build founda-
tion Of this character would add to
the cost to the extent of making the
total of $1O0, O0.OOO.-Scientiti Amer.

ITALY's HIST oRlc GROWN.

The historic iron crown of Italy has
played romantic role in the history
of the peninsula, declares a writer in
Harper's Weekly. 1t was made in the
year 594 by the command, it is said.
of Theodolinda, the widow of Lom-
bard king, on the occasion of her mar
riage to n Duke of Turin.
The crown is of iron overlaid with
gilt. It's significance was supposed to
lay in the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightened by
its splendid exterior.
For a long time the crown was in
the keeping of the famous monastery
at Monza. In TIA 1t was brought forth
to be placed upon the head of Charlie
magne as king of the Lombards,"
and on later occasions it figured in
the triumphs of Frederic ~. and
Charles V. Finally, in the presence
of all the representatives OF state, the
foreign ENJOYS and princes and Off
GERS, Napoleon Bonaparte solemnly
united it to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of 1t is the legitimate
representative of the basilica of Mon
"a. The title of grand custodian"
however, pertains to the head of the
Order of Cavaliers.

JOHN w. GATES AND THE CAB
Little Gambling Episode In. Which
"Watoh-Me" Was Able to Say
"You Lose" Three Times.

A Gates anecdote that never got
so far as 1t deserved, If 1t was true,
was about his riding down town from
New York hotel in cab with stock
market friend.
"I'll match you," said John Watch.
me, ito see whether you or / buy this
horse and cab from the driver, If it's
his"
1t was cabby's, so they matched,
and John Watch-me had the satisfac-
tion of saying, "You lose" The bar
gain struck, John Watch-me had an
other proposition to offer the new
owner.
Now I'll match you," he said, Ito
see whether you keep the outfit or
whether you sell it back to cabby at
his own price," And once more John
Watch-me said, you lose"
Here it dawned upon Gates COM
panion that in the last match John
Watch-me had stood no chance to lose,
whichever way 1t went, and he made
remarks.
"All right" said John Watch-me,
"Pll match you to see whether you or
stand the difference between the
buying and the selling price," For
what he had just sold cabby would
only give buying price that was just
800 less. This was the stake in the
last match, and for the third time
John Watch-me was able to say, "You
lose."

ADVISED TO SIGN THE PLEDGE

During the excessively hot weather
in Montana, farmers daughter car
ried jug of cool, spring water to the
field for the use of farm hand who
was plowing in small valley. She
placed it. under a clump of bushes and
returned to the house. When the
hired man, who had spent several
hours in the village the night before,
in drinking bout with some friends,
approached the jug of water, he dis
covered large black, snake coiled
around it. AS he stopped down to
take a drink the snake made no at
tempt to crawl away, but set up a
vigorous kissing. The hired man
broke for the house for help, and
when he returned the snake was gone.
His theory is that the snake coiled
itself around the jug in order to cool

SQUIRREL-PIE STORY.

A story comes from one of the east.
ern states to the effect that about 100
squirrels raided bakers wagon while
driving along a country road. and be-
fore they were driven off, number
were killed, and all the bread, cake
and pies were spoiled. The door of
the wagon swung open and the squir-
rels swarmed into 1t. The driver was
badly scratched upon his head, face
and hands, and after the battle was
over, dozens of the animals were dis.
covered in the trees near by, calmly
munching chunks of bread, pies and
cake.

sunny JIM" PROPOSES NEW
LAW

Mr. NJ. E. Robinson, better known
over the state as Sunny Jim,' has
drafted bill which he will introduce
at the next session of the legisla. ire
The bill proposes making the indeDt-
edness of an employer, whose sup
plies are furnished by commissaries
liable for same on the basis of the
present laborer's lien. 1t is as fcl-
lows:
An Act, To Be Entitled An Act to
Provide Liens in Favor of Mer-
chants Furnishing Supplies for Tur-
pentine, Saw Mill and Other Oper-
ators to Pay Their Laborers.
Be 1t Enacted BY the Legislature of
the State of Florida:
Section l. Liens shall exist in ia
vor of any merchant upon the prop
erty of any turpentine operator. saw
mill operator, phosphate miners, or
other persons conducting any bust
ness employing laborers, who shall
furnish any goods, wares, merchan-
disc or supplies for such operator or
operators for the purpose of paying
off the wages due to laborers by such
operators; and such liens shall have
equal dignity with laborer's liens, and
shall be enforced in a like manner.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect
Immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval by the governor.
Mr. Robinson says he has submit
ed this proposed law to members of
the U. T. c., and T. p A, as we'll as
to the wholesale grocers over a good
portion of the state, and all agree
with him that it is just law and one
that should be enacted.-Ocala Ban

THIS GIRL FLIRTs WITH DEATH

New and Sensational Thriller

New and Sensational Thriller
For utter recKIessness in the face
of danger and for nerve that passes
all understanding, F'orepaugh and
Sells Brothers have at last brought
forth an act that establishes a new
record. When the big circus comes
to Ocala on Tuesday, October oath,
the morbid minded will be given an
opportunity of seeing a young French
woman dash down a steep incline in
an automobile, the machine and rider
leaping high in the air, and then aft
er accomplishing two complete
somersaults in space, lading with ter
rife impace on a spring platform fifty
feet away.
1t is the first time in the history
of thrillers that a double mid-air
somersault has been achieved. De-
scription of the act defies the power
of English. 1t is a brief moment of
exquisite suspense that pinches the
hearts and whitens the faces of spec
tators.
This circus is now supreme in size
and strength. 1t has gathered to-
gether the best talent of the world s
arenas, with careful regard for what
is sensational and novel. In all the
history of the show business not one
act has been seen in America that
will compare with that of the Ty-Bell
Human Butterflies, Capt. Webb's
riding, Juggling and musical seals,
the Runyon family of aerialists, the
Pajara family of Gypsy riders, the
Hines-Kimball troup of acrobats,
Prof. Taylor's English money circus
and the Arensen troupe of gymnasts.
The street parade is the most cost
ly pageant ever devised for circus
purposes. There is not an old fea-
ture in it. The menagerie, too, has
been reconstructed on original plans.
The two performances to be given
in Ocala will be identical with those
presented in the large cities

TOM WATSON ON BEN TILLMAN

Away back yonder, in 1889, when
the farmers alliance was growing in
to gigantic proportions, Ben Tillman
was the hero of South Carolina. A
plain farmer, he met the trained intel
lects of the Hampton-Butler regime.
And he held his own with the best of
them. Elected governor, he showed
(vigor and pluck in forcing obedience
to the law. On one occasion, the
state troops of the cities refused to
come at his call. He Immediately ap-
pealed to the country people, and
their response was prompt. They
trooped into Columbia from all parts
of the state; and they were so evil
IDENTIFY prepared to fight, that resist
ance to Tillman and the law died out.
But Benjamin has not been a sue
cess as United States senator. He
made some strong speeches and be-
came a debater of ready wit and
sledge-hammer blows; but he put no
good laws on the statute books and
removed no bad ones.
He became too fond of money. He
delivered lectures, when he should
have been in his seat in the senate.
He accepted favors from corporations
free passes, express company
franks, telegraph franks, etc.
I was on the train, one day, coming
south, when we stopped an unusually
long time in Columbia. Some of the
passengers got out to stretch their
legs and to ascertain the cause Of Re
delay.
AS these returned to the car, they
were asked what was the trouble
With knowing leer the answer was
given:
They are unloading a piano from
the express car. 1t came under Ren
Tillman's frank" (That is, he wrote
or stamped his name on the box, and
the piano came free of charged.
Later, Senator Tillman would send
his type-machine and other heavy
stuff through the mails, under his
frank. Finally, the postoffice depart
ment held up one of his typewriters,
and demanded nearly $40 postage
which Benjamin did not pay.
Then came his effort to grab gov
eminent land in the northwest at
$3.50 per acre, the terms given to
actual settlers only" Ben wanted
a share for himself, one for Mrs. TIL
man, one for each of his children, and
one for mis- private secretary. The
land had red cedar on it, and was
worth hundreds of dollars per acre.
And Ben not only told a story
about the transaction, but allowed
Roosevelt to catch him in it.
Then came his attempt to take his
daughter-in-law's child from her-in
which he shocked the feelings of
nearly everybody
Still tending downward, he voted
for the lumber trust as against the
buyers of building materials; then
for the steel trust in the matter of
duties on coal and iron
Worst of all, he followed Bailey,
and voted for that Chicago crook,
William Lorimer. In fact, Tillman
became almost as good a republican
as Bailey himself did
Bailey sees the facts as they are,
and he voluntarily quits. He knows
that he has lost out with the people.
For. similar reasons Tillman has lost
out. Can't some friend of his per-
suade him to submit to the inevita-
BILE? To send him back to the senate.
in spite of his recent record, would
be a calamity to progressive democ-
racy.-Watson's Jeffersonian.

BED CROSS SEALS.

The state department on tubercu-
losis will conduct the campaign for
the sale of Red Cross Seals this year.
An order for million seals has
been placed with the National Asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis and will be used as a
method of extending the educational
work on tuberculosis. A large num-
Der of cities and towns handled the
seals last year with most gratifying
results and it is expected that this
year the sales of these stamps will
be conducted in many more cities
and towns throughout the state.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculos
sis furnishes the seals, requiring but
1914 per cent of the money realized
in their sale and permitting the re-
turn of all unsold seals. This al
lows S71a per cent to remain in the
community where the stamps are
sold
This department will not realize
any money from the seals, but on the
other hand will expend quite a sum
in stimulating their sale. The
stamps sell at 1c each and are placed
on the reverse side of letters and
Christmas packages. They are inten'
ded for the purpose of raising money
to be used locally in the suppression
or relief of tuberculosis.

MCNAMARA IS VICTOR
TALEsMAN NELSON EXCUSED
AFTER FoUR-DAY FIGHT.
Admits He Had Formed Opinion
Which Would Take Strong Evil
dence to Change.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 1.-THE four
days fight against z. r. Nelson, a
venireman, as juror in the trial of
James B. Mcnamara, who.I with his
brother, is accused of having blown up
the Los Angeles Times building, end
ed with a victory for Mcnamara.
Nelson was dismissed after the
state had withdrawn its objection to a
challenge for cause, and after Nelson
had admitted that he had formed an
opinion of the guilt or innocence Of
the prisoner and that it would take
mighty strong evidence to shake
him."
Judge Bordwell questioned Nelson
and he admitted he had obtained in
formation about the alleged dynamit-
ing of the Times building from per-
sons with whom he had talked and
from newspapers.
If you were chosen as a juror in
this case could you and would you, not
withstanding the opinion you have
formed, act impartially on the evil
dence submitted to you?" Judge Bord-
well asked.
1T would take pretty strong evil
dence before could" was the reply.
A wrangle between lawyers as to
whether he should have answered yes
or no followed and Nelson said he
could not answer the question. The
state then withdrew its objection and
Judge BOTdWeif permitted Nelson to
step out. Thus ended the first Skin
mish in the trial
Mcnamara was silent throughout
the sessions. He maintained a strong
interest in the examination of the
talesmen, but offered no suggestions.
