Make Individual Bids
For Winter Visitors.

With each recurring winter more
and more people from the less favored
states to the north Of US come to
Florida and spend at least part OF
the winter season in this glorious land
of the sun and the sea.
The big winter hotels that line the
coast of both sea and ocean have al
ready busted themselves In advertis-
ing their resorts, especially and the
Itate generally, among the people
ghere 1t will do the most good. A
great many of these hotels and resorts
know already. approximately how
many guests they will have next win
ter, where they are coming from and
how long they will remain.
This is all good. The number OF
northern visitors to Florida has been
Increasing from year to year. The
benefits they have done the state has
been large and the share these visitors
have had in the development of the
resources OF Florida has in one way
and another been almost incalculable.
Still these visitors follow the beaten
path. They go from hotel to hotel
from town to town on gulf and ocean
They come again next year and they
send their friends.
But there is another and still better
class OF visitors who come to Florida
each winter in increasing numbers
These are people of moderate means
who come to Florida to spend the win
ter because they are induced to do sc
by some acquaintance who is a resi-.
dent of the state. These people may
go to the cities or they may elect t.
spend their time far out in the country
Many times they board in privats
families or small boarding houses. A
other times they rent rooms or houses
In all cases they see more of the rea
Florida than the wealthy tourist WHIT
treads the beaten path. and frequently
they become home seekers.
The best class of settlers that Flor,
Ida has ever had has been made up o.
people who have visited the state IL
winter at the invitation Of some &C,
uuaintance or relative and who OF
learning the advantages the state Of,
Fers to men Of small and moderat,
means, have invested in F1orids
homes.
These people seldom get their names
in the society column OF the city news
papers. but they are building up tn,
state.
The person who induces some famil,
Or an individual from another state t,
spend a few months in Florida, ma.
be doing the commonwealth materia
Ind lasting service.

to her and take advantage of 1t.
"a mass of rates, tariffs, plans of
docks and methods Of conducting them
have been collected. If Pensacola is
really in earnest on the municipal dock
and belt railroad proposition, she will
soon have an opportunity to consider
plan in which every precaution
against graft has been taken and
which provides for Pensacola terminal
and local handling facilities second to
no port in the world. She should be
satisfied with nothing less"

No MEETING Of
CARN|vA[bOARO
MEETING OF THE BOARD, WHICH
WAS CALLED FOR II O'CLOCK
YESTERDAY MORNING, DID NOT
OCCUR.

Although a meeting had been called
and notices sent to the members, the
board Of directors of the Pensacola
Carnival Association did not hold a
session, yesterday morning, owing to
the fact that quite a number of the
directors were out Of the city, while
others could not attend On account of
illness. The president has set the
time for holding the meeting at IL
o'clock Friday morning. The meeting
will be held at the San Carlos hotel in
parlor "a"
The object Of the meeting is to hear
the report of the committee recently
appointed to secure location for the
carnival sheds to be used for housing
the floats, the present site being needed
by the owners, which renders it neces-
sary for the association to look for
other quarters.
1t is understood that the committee
has selected a place and is ready to
make a recommendation to the board
when the meeting is held.
It is probable that number OF
other matters relating to the 1913
Mardi Gras celebration will also be
discussed at the meeting next Friday
morning.

HOW Would You Lika LAP

Any man who wishes that he was a
woman should try it for day.
Fasten a Counterpart and g. blanket
round your legs; buckle a strap
around your waist so tight you can't
draw a full breath or eat hearty
meal: have your hair all loose and
fluffy so that it keeps tickling your
ears and gettingsinto your eyes; wear
high heeled shoes and gloves a size too
small for you; cover your face with a
veil full of spots that make you squint:
fix a huge hat on pins so that every
time the wind blows 1t pulls your hair
out by the roots, and then without any
pockets and with three-inch square
of lace to blow your nose with, and
short sleeves and open work stockings,
go for a walk on a winters day and
enjoy yourself. Oh, yes, you'd like 1t,
all right.

She Took Away
The Dishes.

to support his family. gave this among
his reasons for letting his wife sepa-
rate herself from him:
.Once she gave a surprise party on
her mother. She took all the dishes
from cur hocse. for the surprisers' to
feed on. And I didn't have any place
to eat"
That's tough.
The wife who could do that must
expect trouble. She was born under
an unlucky star. and wherever she
might &C, or whatever she might seek,
trouble would ever be lurking close in
her shadow.
This man was steady and home
loving. His wife was always on the
CO."
There is an ancient and respectable
tradition to the effect that husbands
have rights. 1t is good old tradition
that wives ought to recall once in a
while. Some husbands insist upon
some of their rights.
Among them is that of declining to
assist in surprising the mother-in-
law. Some husbands prefer to permit
their mothers-in-law to run in the
even tenor of their ways.
And in exercising this right the hus-
band is entitled to the use of his own
dishes to eat off of, If the gallivanting
wife leaves him anything to eat Oven
if she does not, he is entitled to the
dishes anyway. They might be some
comfort in his loneliness. So long as
he has the dishes the home is not en-
tirely desolate.
The woman who keeps up this sort
Of thing is apt to find that the, home

The Old Story.

He saw it growing in the sod
A glorious bunch of goldenrod,
It's beauty stirred his very soul,
He placed it in his buttonhole.
Then straightway he began to wheeze
And cough and choke and snort and
sneeze.
He asked the doctors what he had,
They said he had hay fever bad.
That was full twenty years ago
And since then he has had to blow
His yearly savings on a jaunt
UP to an old familiar aunt
Each fall ne has to hit the track
For Charlevoix or Mackinac.
The moral of the tale is plain
Adopt a method safe and sane,
And when you see 1t in the sod,
Walk miles around the goldenrod.
