Rerressnts Best Democracy.

Frank l. Mayes, editor of the Pensa-
cola Journal, is probably a winning
candidate as one delegate from the
Third congressional district to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. Mr..
Mayes is representative of the best
democracy of the same, a clean, clear
headed gentlemen who will reflect hon
or upon the entire state of Florida
in that big convention. He is in favor
of the nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson, and in case of a dead lock
would act for the best interests of
the party. He's the real fluff, is this
man Mayes.-Palatka News. -

A Study in Still Life.

A pair Of large, travel-worn bro
gans, with feet inside, reposed on a
chair which stood in the open en-
trance to one Of the senate galleries
during the drowsy afternoon hours Of
Senator Shoots three-day speech on
the metal tariff a fortnight or so ago.
1t was perfect study in still life and
visible from certain precincts Of the
senate floor. One of the punctilious
senators on the Republican side view
ed the spectacle for a time and then
summoned one Of the young men Of
the corps Of floor officials.
"Those feet probably belong to one
Of the doorkeepers," he said. Better
tell him to remove them from the
chair but do it as politely as you
can, as he may be one OF our cid sol
dier employees. There is no need to
hurt the feelings Of the old chap"
Here is the note which a page
handed to the offending doorkeeper a
few moments later-after first waking
him up:

Early in July custom older than
Domesday is followed in the Oxford
shire village of Yarnton. On given
day the thirteen balls here illustrated
placed on a little flower support for
the convenience of the photographer
are drawn one by one from the canvas
bag in which they have rested for the
aast twelve months, each carrying with
it the right to NOW a definite portion
of the common meadows. Three hun
dred and fifty acres Of grass are thus
apportioned by lot, survival of the
custom of open field cultivation when
both arabic and meadow land were
apportioned in strips to the village
householders. The meadow land be-
ing less in quantity and therefore
more valuable was settled by an an
nual lot-drawing so that each man
might have an equal chance of obtain
ing the better strips of grass. The
arbitrary date for the lot-drawing, the
first Monday after st. Peters day,
has been abandoned IN favor of the
wiser plan Of letting the date depend
on the state of the hay, so that at
present It falls on some date between
July and IT.
