An Old Time FlOridian.

All old citizens of Crescent City will!
appreciate the following story from
the Bradford County Telegraph Of
their old-time friend T. B. Sherley,
once a resident of the Haw creek sec
ton and who at that time made this
place his trading center:
at. B. Sherley is an old-time Flo
ridian. He was born in the pioneer
DAYS and has been a pioneer ever
since. Concrete walks and electric
lights are not for him, and he would
rather drink the water Dame Nature
furnishes in original packages than
turn a faucet to get it. He seldom
rides his horse slower than gallop
and often at such break-neck speed
as if he was chased by a score of yell
ing Indians.
ale settled at BROKER many years
ago, when there was plenty of elbow
room, but now he is becoming hemmeG
up on all sides. The scream Of the
wildcat in Santa Fe swamp has been
changed to the steam whistle OF the
sawmilI, and not much to his liking.
But it is only during the summer he
has to endure this. AS soon as the
weather begins to turn cool he feels
the call of the wild, and then he gath
ers up his traps-steel traps and
HES himself away to the wilderness
untrodden by man. There among the
hogs and brambles he sets his traps,
and no matter how wiley the coon or
how foxy the fox or how, wary the
otter, they are sure to be caught
Everything is fish that comes to ms
net. from the savage panther down
to the lissom squirrel, and even the
despised polecat has valuable skin
He keeps on trapping until the var
,mits' begin to look like they needed
a haircut, a shampoo and shave,
then he gathers up his traps and pei
tries and returns home. The skins
are shipped and fat checks are re-
ce;ved in return. The season 19l1-l2,
Mr., Sherley received over $500, for 1t
NAYS to be a skinner-of 'varmlts,,

to ioin a surveying party, which suits
him to q IT. No water is too deep,
no bogs too Doggy for him, or no

he keens his ewes skinned for signs

FLORIDA TOMATO SHIPMENT
GOES TO CALIFORNIA
Contains About TWO Hundred Crates
of Tomatoes From This State
Six DAYS En- Route

Misunderstanding four thousand
miles across dreary desert, mountain
and plain. a car of tomatoes grown IN
the Sunny South made up largely OF
the product of Dade county, Is now
on its way to California to relieve
the stringency in the local market,
caused by the unprecedented frosts OF
some time ago The contribution
from this section to a large extent
came from the Dayie Farm, and may
he taken as fair sample OF what
Everglades muck will produce once 1t
is drained and the water table placed
under control.
The car contained about two nun
dred crates forwarded from Fort Lau-
derdale by w. H. Marshall. Six days
from Jacksonville is the time figured
that the car will be en- route. AS laF
as can be learned, this is the first time
Florida has shipped tomatoes to the
Pacific coast.
With the wiping out Of the Cantor
mia tomato fields, dealers say the
market in the Middle West is bound
to improve very materially.

SEE MILLIONS THROWN AWAY
Writer Points Out That Great Part Of
Every Dollar Earned Simply
Goes to Waste.

That 40 cents of every dollar earned
In the United States is thrown away
is the startling statement of Frank
Rooster in his work. THE Price of
Inefficiency," cited by the New York
Sun. He deduces this estimate from
reckoning the waste that goes on in
such ways as city and governmental
administration and the loss through
failure to make right use of many pro-
cesses and of by-products which in
other countries bring in large returns.
He finds that reckless expenditure on
the part of governmental officials
wastes an enormous amount of the
country's wealth.
One illustration of waste that he
makes is the waste of water used in
fighting fire. If buildings were made
iireproof, and other precautions taken,
he says that the enormous loss by
fire would not occur. The amount
spent in fighting fire alone, counting
the money paid for keeping up the de-
partment, is given as ten times as
large as it is in European countries.
He also thinks that $650,000.000 is
wasted annually in the expense of rail
roads, expense that might be saved
with expert handling

friends went there one evening soon
after their arrival (having announced
their coming by telephone) each one
carrying parcel marked for the new
house." All the packages were placed
in a clothes basket, and what over
flowed were tied to the handles; some
of the boys Il should say. men, car
board was fastened about one chaps
neck bearing a placard saying Clean
illness Is Next to Godliness;" he pro-
duced soap from his pockets and car
ried large scrubbing brush and a
package of washing powder.
The gardener of the crowd had a
hoe, rake and spade; another man
trundled a wheelbarrow; one had a
pair of clipping shears and one q small
sickle.
The girls had busters, tea towels,
bath towels. kitchen aprons, pantry
shelfpaper, broom bags, etc. l assure
you it was the merriest kind of time.
At ten o'clock an innocent looking
suit case was produced containing
sandwiches neatly wrapped in waxed
paper, olives, sailed nuts and jar Of
potato salad. Coffee was made on the
new stove and paper napkins and
plates were used, the bride producing
her wedding spoons for the occasion.
Every one agreed that this was the
very incest kind of shower, and the
bride said she was delighted to have
1t after the wedding instead of before.
OF course circumstances alter cases,
and this affair just suited this especial
case.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cot
fee are often the cause of the cloudt-
ness, and that there is simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in letter. He
says:
For about forty years, have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms During the last 25
years would not more than get over
one spell OF bilious collie until another
would be upon me-
1.-THE best doctors l could get and
all the medicines | could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
"Change of climate was tried with
out results. | could not sleep nights.
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that 1t seemed
it would jump out of my body.
II came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that was
about wound up, when saw a Postum
advertisement l had always been a
coffee drinker. and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead OF
coffee and in less than three weeks l
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and l have never had spell
| of bilious collie since.
My appetite is good. my digestion
never was better and | can do more
work than before for 40 years.
81 haven't tasted coffee since l be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes il
according to directions and relish it
as we'll as 1 ever did coffee, and l was
certainly a slave to coffee"

Postum comes in two forms:
| Regular Postum-nust be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and. with the addl-
ton Of cream and sugar, makes a de-
Iicious beverage instantly.

Golden Rod Wedding.

One of the prettiest decorative
schemes for fall wedding is to use
the gorgeous golden rod as the ex-
elusive flower. 1t lends itself to eth
er church or house ceremony equal
ly well; it does not wilt quickly and
is found in nearly every locality.
Massed in huge brown crooks and
jars, 1t fills corners and fireplaces; is
most decorative in flower holders
fastened to the walls and tied with
white and yellow gauze ribbon to the
ends Of the reserved pews in the
church 1t is all that can be desired
A charming canopy is made by
stretching wire netting that comes
by the yard, filling with vines and
ferns and then studding the whole
with clusters of golden rod. The
bride may carry white roses and the
maids yellow ones, and beautiful eff
feet is made by having the attendants
in filmy white frocks over yellow
slips, with yellow sashes and hair or
naments.
Have yellow candle shades, yellow
ices or ice cream, yellow bon-bons
and, If possible, use gold banded
china. At daytime wedding this
sunshiny color is most effective. as
It loses its radiant brilliancy a little
in an artificial light.
If cake boxes are used have the
monogram in gold. The most fash
ionabIe hour for weddings seems tc
be at four or half after and this Is
just the time for this yellow colo
schemS-
Everyone loves golden ROD and thu
dainty lavender and white asters tina
are usually found by its side.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Citizen suggests that the I'M
necessary and unpleasing prefix ''Mr."
should be eliminated from the super
scription of letters. The derivation
of this prefix was one of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies
during the seventeenth century. The
records of Massachusetts show that
in 1880 Josias Plaistowe was con-
demned "for stealing four baskets Of
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined G5.
and hereafter to be called Josias, not
Mr., as he used to be-" The Massa-
chusetts penal code also provided for
docking women of the prefix of Mrs.
but there is no record of this clause
having been enforced.
