Too much will cause bowel looseness.
Fine cracked corn and whole wheat

Persia is no exception to the rule
that progress toward a more liberal
political regime is attended by bitter
reactionary opposition. Sometimes
this hostility does not stop with pas
sive resistance but takes the form Of
murderous action. Several years ago
. Premier was assassinated; more
recently attempts have been made on
the lives OF other prominent officials.
and the other day SAM ed Dowleh, the
minister of finance, was shot dead in
the street IN Teheran by assassins
who also killed two policemen and
ned. The slain minister had been ac-
tive in recent reformatory efforts, and
there can be little doubt that he fell
a victim to those opposed to modern
methods In Persia.

The Ingenious
Miss Davis
By B~flS Jones

The. ingenious Miss Davis came
aboard the Baltic at Southampton with
her father TO make the trip to New
York She was q young lady Of Is,
and her father was a venerable man OF
IS. We all felt sorry for them the mo-
ment they stepped on board. First,
they had not secured their passage in
De regular way. and next. the father
had Just received a telegram recalling
him to London. The steamer was full
up with passengers and for a few
minutes il seemed that Miss Davis
you'd have to go ashore with her
father or take quarters in the steerage,
Then Mr.. Edgar Greenleaf, 8 young
man from New York, who had been
seeing Europe and wasting a good deal
Of money to bring back loud clothes
and high collars, caught sight Of the
handsome girl and the problem was
solved. He would double up with
some male passenger, and give her his
stateroom. She protested and her
father protested. but young Mr.. Green
leaf would have 1t So When the girl
smiled on him, the venerable father
patted him on the back and made the
necessary financial arrangements with
the purser, and the big steamer began
to plow the waves.
Miss Davis struck a good thing. She
had a good stateroom all to herself
she was by all odds the best looking
girl on board-she made herself a
favorite almost at once. and II the 20 or
more young men on the Baltic were in
love with her inside of three days. II
was nothing to be ashamed of. II Is
to be doubted If any young lady ever
crossed the Atlantic alone who was
made more Of. She was nominally un-
der the captains charge, but bless your
soul, he would have had to lock her
up to keep the crowd away. She could
sing, recite. mimic. pitch Quoits, play
ball and bring the sweetest kind OF
music from the piano, and you may
add a melodious voice, a handsome
face and a perfect figure to that. The
story she told was that she and her

The plan shown In the accompany
Ing figure is for barn S6x60 feet. 1t
will accommodate IA horses. By IN
creasing the length twelve feet 1t will
accommodate eighteen head. 1t has
two feed rooms, a safe and cOnven-
lent place for harness. two box stalls
and twelve open stalls.
The barn may be sided with 16-foot
stock boards with battens or with
shiplap. BY making the caves higher
than 16 feet there will be more room
for hay. but a barn Of the dimensions
given will contain all the hay required,
as it will hold about forty tons. In
stead Of chutes or the regular man
gers to feed hay there is a feedway
three feet wide, with perpendicular
sides three feet high from the floor Of
the stalls. and It is ioored on a level
with the top Of the sill A feedway
like this Is better than hangers or
chutes, as It allows a man to pass
along the entire length of the barn in
front Of the horses when feeding;
there is absolutely no waste Of hay,
Is the horses stand with their heads
over the hay while eating and do not
pull 1t out and drop 1t under their feet,
and the chan Is not constantly falling
down in their eyes, as when a manger
Is used that feeds from above.
The feed rooms are situated on each
side of the driveway and are each d.
vided into two compartments and an
entry SO as to allow variety of feed
to be kept and to be easy Of access.
The barn should be lighted with ten
windows on each side. two to each
box stall, two to each feed room and
one In front Of each single stall Com
mon barn sash should be used, having
six Sx10-inch panes to each sash, a
single sash to each window, with the
longest way of the sash up and down.
They should be put in on top of the

Of the sill, and should be arranged to
open by sliding to one side.

to vast estate. Their claim had been
recognized, and there was every pros
pect of its being allowed, when they
would have millions at their command.
They were merely going home after
some papers that had become neces-
sary to the case. No one doubted her
story, but it served to make some
young men rather shy of her. They
became afraid of those millions. With
them In her pocket she could have her
pick Of lords and dukes and counts
and barons and sirs
Young Mr.. Greenleaf naturally held
the best cards up to a certain point
He had done a nice thing by giving
up his stateroom, and of course Miss
Davis was properly grateful. In 9
way he became her cavalier. That is
he headed the list and monopolized
most of her time. On the third day
from Southampton, notice was posted
I'D that Mr.. Greenleaf had lost a valu
able pearl and diamond pin. Some few
questions we're asked, but no one tool
any great interest. The loser could
have told the purser that he missed
the pin half an hour after sitting in &
cozy corner on deck with Miss Davis
at his elbow, but he didn't go into par
ticulars.
On the ne1e evening young Mr.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long

from which their trouble arises.

FREE AS HIS ANCESTORS


The Seminole is the only Indian to-
day who is as free as his ancestors in
the pre-Columbian days. If an the
world but the Everglades in Florida
were to be blotted cut of existence
| the latter would still be enough of a
world for the Seminole's wants and
happiness. He is peaceable and hon
est and never worthy of the terrible
things done him one hundred years
ago by the white man, when nearly
everybody believed that the "only
good Indian was a dead Indian"
The tribal religion of the Seminoles
is far above that of the other native
Indian tribes. 1t is lacking in their
revolving and harsher features. Some
of them have recently become Chris
tians, and as such God is known to
them as E-shock-e-tom-e-see while the
tribal god is called His-a-killnussi.
They like to stand by the latter bet
ter than by the former.
Marriage by wife capture apper-
tains among the Seminoles. After the
parents of the girl have consented to
the marriage the young sutton sets a
roasted wild turkey or ham of veni-
son at the door of the maiden's home.
If this be Acceptable to her the young
brave is sure of his wife, provided he
can capture her in a fair race at the
July corn dance, or on some other fes-
tive occasion.
After capturing his intended, pre-
parations are then made for the we'd
ding. The very simple ceremony in
wolves the bridegroom proceeding in
gala attire to the girls home, there
to remain through life as member
of her family.
So the Seminoles live out their hap
py life, marrying and giving in mar
riage, cultivating their crops on the
hummocks of the Everglades, dwell
ing beneath the shade of the pine
trees, selling alligators' and other
skins to the whites, and in return
buying bright calicoes and other mer-
chandise brought to the trading post
from Fort Myers. The Seminoles now
number about 500 souls, and appear
to be gradually increasingly Liv-

EXTENSION Is NOW ASSURED
OcaIa Northern Railroad Will Build
From Here to Jacksonville

OcaIa Northern Railroad Will Build
From Here to Jacksonville
On reliable information we learn
that E. P. Rentz, president of the
Ocala Northern railway; with head
quarters in Ocala, has definitely de-
cided on plans to extend his road on
from Palatka to Jacksonville. This
extension has been contemplated for
some time, and is now an assured
thing. The road will be completed to
this city by September 18th, and the
extension from here on will proceed
without interruption till there is a
new railroad, and on an air line at
that, from Ocala to Jacksonville.
1t is stated that several immense
colony projects are to be developed
along the proposed route on about the
same plan as those so successfully
operated in Marion county. No one
man who has come to Florida in re-
cent years has done more to develop
the resources of that section and give
it a chance to grow by supplying the
great nsportation-than Mr.
Rentz. He has opeend up, put on the
map, and is rapidly developing the
section that was the least known and
most backward prior to his advent,
and all this has resulted in putting
thousands of acres of land in cultiva-
ton, hundreds of new tax payers on
the assessment rolls, and otherwise
contributing to the growth and pros
perity of Marion and adjacent coun-
ties. Complete details Of the propos-
ed colonization plans will be publish
ed later.-Palatka Herald

L..
Mr.. F. H. Mathews. Editor The Key
West Journal, Key West, Fla:
Dear Sir-The completion of this
railway will forever stand as a great
monument to Henry NJ. Flagler. In
my judgment, it ranks ahead of any
OF the Seven Wonders of the World.
In its benefits to mankind it exceeds
all of them combined.
Key West, on account of it's mag
nlficent deep water harbor and of it's
location, is the key to the gulf. For
years it has been isolated, hardly con-
sldered portion of our great state.
This railway binds it with bars of
steel and arches of masonry to the
very heart of the state. Not only to
the very heart of the state, but in
some respects to the very heart of
the nation. This railway will act as
the veins and the arteries of the COM
mercial heart of the nation, taking to
its heart the products of the tropics,
and at least some of the products of
far-off Asia, and carrying to its heart
much of the commerce to the West
Indies, Central and South America,
and Asia itself. This railway will for
years provide pleasure and delight to
thousands of tourists. Key West
would unnecessarily thrill with the new
impetus to be derived from the con-
struction of such a road.
1t is a source of much qualification
for me to know that this railway will
be completed during my administra-
ton as governor.
Yours very truly,
ALBERT w. GILCHRIST,
Governor.
