Letter From Florida.

Wildwood. Fla, August SO.-Now
that the dispensary election is over,
I will make an effort to tell the
people something more about Florida.
First of all, will cay the people Of
Lexington county are awakening to
their needs by reestablishing the dis
pensary. Senator Sharpe was hight
in saying that all your revenue has
been going to other counties. Less
blind tiger whiskey will be sold when
there is place from which the people
can get whiskey when they need it.
Less criminal cases will come before
your courts and your county will
get the revenue to aid in the con-
struction of good roads. I stand for
sobriety, but when liquor will help
the poor taxpayer, let it help him. If
those who oppose it will get out of
the shade and earn their living by
hard work, like the farmers do, they
will find out how much benefit is de-
rived from the legal sale of liquor.
Things are moving along smoothly
down here. The farmers are begin
ming to prepare their land for fall
planting, such as cabbage and other
fall crops. Will close with best re-
galds to all. J. A H.

Unfinished.

O! Master Day, behold von setting sur
Emblazons all the tinted west witt
gold,
In whose rich glow thy ending is
foretold
While I am helpless, with my tasks
undone.
These weary hands have labored soon
and late
But, Master, thou hast sped on fleet
est wing;
There was so little time to pray ano
sing,
So much undone, wilt thou not for me
wait?
Here is my flute untouched, but in my
heart
The melody awaits, which 1 must

Hold yonder sun, within the gold

That I may sing this song before we

Dolby likes babies. That is why he
gave his seat to the good-looking
young woman in the triangular
brown hat. She carried baby. II she
had not been so incumbered she would
have been condemned to strap hang
ing, so far as Dolby was concerned,
for he vowed at the beginning Of
the trip that he was going to play the
hog.
I'm dead tired" he said to Mr..
Bowler. Thank heaven, I've found
seat. 1 am going to stick to it, too.
Nothing short of an accident or a wo-
man with baby can rout me out till
/ get home
Bowler said -Humph," as did sew
eral other passengers who overheard
Dolby's selfish resolution. The young
woman In the brown hat stood within
hearing distance as Dolby thus de-
clared himself, but she did not say
"Humph." She merely thought It.
Presently she edged down the car un.
til she stood directly in front Of Dol
By. About that time the baby began
to show off. He kicked ct Dolby's
hat. first with the LETT foot and then
with the right, and then With both
feet simultaneously, and said 10000
co." very plaintively.
Dolby looked up and met the baby's
eye. The youngsters geze embar-
rassed his somewhat, so he allowed
his eyes to travel little higher. That
time he encountered an appealing
glance from the young woman. Dolby
became still more embarrassed; he
sat still few seconds longer.
MADAM" he said, will you have
this seat?'
Thank you,' sighed the young wo-
man. You are very kind"
1t really was not worth while to tell
Dolby that. He already had an exag-
gerated notion Of his own magnani-
nifty, so, to even things up, he retired
to the back platform and picked a
quarrel with the conductor. When he
got tired of that he stepped inside the
car again. Directly in front OF him,
but under different guardianship, sat
the baby that had 80 ruthlessly as
saulted the rim Of his hat few min
:utes before.
100000" coed the baby.
Hello" said Dolby. Aren't you
the kid that took liberties with my
,headgear a little while ago? How
did you get down to this end OF the
carr"
The baby's reply was not exactly In
telligible, so his mother supplemented
it with a more lucid explanation.
He belongs here" she said. The
lady sent him back. She just bor-
rowed him for few minutes"
With one quick glance Dolby re-
treated to the platform, and there hs
stayed.

there were pleasures connected with the
business which the increased number of
papers in the state have served to
change. There, were but few newspa-

DEATH IN RACE

Charlevoix, Mich, July Is
Risking their lives In an aeroplane
with broken tail piece and wire
wrapped carbureter. Beckwith Ha-
vens and his passenger, ]. c. Vec-
planek, landed here at 425 p, m. to
day after one of the most remark
able flights in the history of avia-
tion.
Leaving Pentwater at 2:40, they
covered a distance of 147 miles In
an actual flight OF two hours and
thirty-ive minutes The only stop
made during the afternoon was at
Frankfort, where they took on a
new supply of gasoline, The last
thirty miles of the journey was COW
cred in twentynine minutes.
! Havens' flight demonstrated his
remarkable flying skill. When this
morning dawned clear and still he
apparently was helplessly delayed in
Pentwater, waiting for a new tail
piece and carbureter. Roy Frances,
the San Francisco aviator, was also
there. with his hydro-aeroplane in
perfect tune. The latter announced
his intention OF taking wing i'm
mediately and a half hour later
made an attempt. Poor fuel how
ever. kept him from flying.
While Frances was securing the
village for new supply of gasoline
Havens and Ferplanck held hasty
conference. Utilizing spare rud-
der part they converted it into a
rear elevator. With strand of hay
baling wire the carhureter was re-
paired The mechinicians pushed
the boat out into the water and Ha-
vens turned over tho engine, which
started with roar.
After making an experimental
| fight over the harbor he pointed the
head of the machine north and with
in eight minutes was out of sight.
The emergency elevator, constructed
out of the spare rudder had a
smaller area than the corresponding
part on the opposite side and as a
result the flying boat made the en-
tire trip heeled over al an angle
of 20 degrees
Several times II became necessary
! for Nerplanck to stand up in the
machine while it was in flight and
adjust the wire around the car
buretor.
Havens expressed Keen interest as
to Francis whereabouts when he
arrived here Telegraph dispatches
received during the afternoon an
nounced that the latter was also fly
ing north, but at O'Clock tonight
he had not arrived here.

STATE ATTITUDE
MEXICAN AFFAIRS

Washington, July Is. 5.---Adminis-

the Mexican situation and diplo-

cerning our attitude toward Mexico
was worthy of their deepest atten-
tion.
Secretary Bryan held two-hour
conference with Pres dent Wilson
considering chiefly Japanese and
Mexican problems.
The announcement of the coun-
trys policy is expected soon.
Query Uncle Sam.
Washington, July 5. ALREADY
one of the great European powers
has called the attention of Secre-
tary Bryan to the chaotic conditions
in Mexico and the effect upon the
welfare and safety OF its citizens
there with a polite inquiry as to
what the United States proposes to
do.
Whether the inquiry was part OF
tNnCcTleu movement OF european
powers to bring the state depart
ment to a declaration of purpose
toward Mexico, is unknown, but
Mexico City reports appear to war
rant that conclusion.
Failing in an early declaration
of some plan to protect the life OF
foreigners, some Washington Off
cials fear that European powers may
feel themselves free to take steps
1 to restore peace.
Confirmed in London.
London, July i5,---lt is officially
confirmed that the European diplo-
mats in Mexico City will make joint
, representations to their government
regarding the position taken by tbs
United States toward Mexico, On
the ground that the subject was toe
