the top seats of the contest band wag-
on and will do some hustling to get
there.
No Candidate Has A Ciheh
No young lady in the contest has a
certainty of winning the tour. In
each division the contestants arc run
ming so close that there is no telling
which one of them will be the winner
in the end. It is certainty, however;
that tho young lady in each district
who secures the largest number of
largc-sizc new subscriptions is the one
who will walk off with the tour.
Each contestant should get every
one of their friends interested and see
that some live members of her church
and social organizations are provided
with subscription books and doing val
liant work in her behalf.
Trying To Pick Winners
All kinds of predictions regarding
winners can be heard throughout the
city and county, though there is no
telling who will be the victors. If
you will give us the name of the
young lady who will do the hardest
hustling during the remainder of the
contest and who will solicit the sup
port of the greatest .number OF the
people, then we can Manic for you the
winners; but contest of this kind
always dcvclopcs surprises and it is
very probable that some Of the young
ladies who arc now far down in the
lists are not looked upon as possible
winners, may forge to the front dur
ing the closing days Of the contest
with such strength Of reserve Special
ballots that the leaders in the several
districts will thereby be overcome.
If this result does follow they will
have to blame themselves. !!
The new subscribers are tho ones

interest increasing
The contest is becoming more in
tcrcsting every day and more people
arc participating in the balloting, and
in no contest ever held in this section
of the country were the young ladies
more royalty supported by their
friends than they arc in the Gazcttc's
contest. It's great frec-for-all in
which the purses arc three magnlfi-

MISS KELLER ASTOUNDS
THE SCIENTISTS

What many scientists present pro-
nounccd wonderful demonstration
was given by Miss Helen Keller one
afternoon last week when she sang
the scale and spoke in three Ian
guagcs at the biological Congress at
Harvard Medical School in Boston.
1t had been known for a long
time that Miss Keller was winning
back the use of her tongue and vocal
cords, but thi, was the first public
demonstration Of her near-miracu-
lous powers
Her audience, cOn.nosed largely of
famous doctors, sat in wonder as she
spoke in perfectly ineligible tones
Miss Keller begged the physicians
to help in the work of enabling the
deaf mute child to speak and to UNI
derstand what the people say.
when you have failed to save the
organs OF a child then you must
think Of the child locked behind tho
closed organs of sense and the i'm
patient spirit" said she.
But Miss keller's speech in Eng
fish was not the only remarkable
event of the afternoon. for she spoke
both French and German with equal
ease, and read these languages from
the lips of another.
The most remarkable thing, how
ever. was the rudimentary attempts
at singing. or tone culture. which
Miss Keller demonstrated She il
taking lessons at the New England!
Conservatory of Music. Miss Keller
sang the scale. taking an octave,
ffths or thirds. with perfect ease
and accuracy.
Prof. White of the conservatory
said that ii WAS difficult for her t.
coordinate the rhythmic beating oi
time and the singing of the scale to
the same time as she beat ii ou'
with one hand on the other. but on
this occasion she did ii perfectly.
and the applause fairly shook the
ampitheater.

Lakeland has an ordinance for
bidding the running at large Of dogs
during the summer months unless
they are muzzled This is a good
preventive for hydrophobia-at least
i. the dogs go mad they injure no
one but themselves. while if allowed
to run loose the danger of someone
being bitten is ever present. Only a
few days ago a fine dog was killed
by man who knew that if he didn';
end its life il might be the death of
some child. whereas. il it has been
properly muzzled il could have been
left 10 die or get well, according 10
What nature willed. We hope this
ordinance will be strictly enforced.
and then all danger of some one be-
ing bitten will be at an end.
