between him and the street Then he
took up his anger again and shut
himself up in his closet
There was nothing peculiar about
this closet. 1t was just an ordinary
one with drawers and shelves on one
side, and an open space on the other
for the hanging UP Of clothes. Very
few clothes hung there at present;
but 1t was in this portion Of the closet
that he stopped and began to try the
wall OF Brotherson's room, with the
butt end of the tool he carried.
The sound seemed to satisfy him,
for very soon he was boring a hole
at point exactly level with his ear.
Meat as well as useful" was the
gay comment with which Sweetwater
surveyed his work, then laid his ear
to the hole. Whereas previously he
could barely hear the rafting OF Goals
from the coal-scuttle, he was now able
to catch the sound of an ash falling
into the ash-pit.
His next move was to test the depth
of the partition by inserting his finger
in the hole he made. He found It
stopped by some obstacle before it
had reached half it's length. and anx-
ious to satisfy himself of the nature
of the obstacle, he gently moved the
tip of his finger to and fro over what
was certainly the edge of a book.
This proved that his calculations
had been correct and that the open

completely yelled on the other by the
books he had seen packed on the

MADE VISIT TO
JACKSONVILLE
EDITOR OF JACKSON LEAD
Err, IN MARIANA, TELLS OF
SOME OF THE INTERESTING BIG
MEN HE MET IN EAST COAST
CITY.

The Jackson Leader contains
the following: we combined bust
ness with pleasure last Friday and
boarded the noon train for Florlda's
metropolis, Jacksonville. TO spend a
couple or three days. This being our
! first trip it's needless to say that we
were surprised at this magic city.
Saturday morning we paid the
quill pushers Of the Dixie a call and
had the pleasure Of meeting the IA
nous cartoonist Taylor, and 10 swap
few with managing editor. Chas E.
Jones. who never lets an opportunity
slip to say that West Florida should
furnish the next governor and that
Jno. p. Stokes, Of Pensacola, Is the
most progressive man in the state We
also had the pleasure Of chatting with
Jacksonville's real mayor, Swearingem.
Judge Dan Simmons a by-product OF
Holmes and Washington counties also
came around and talked about West
Florida's possibilities, politically and
otherwise. He too is a strong advo-
cate Of democracy.
Next we run across Congressman
Claude L'Engle who is a cripple with
rheumatism and can't walk a step
without the aid Of the crutch. He has
just returned from Hampton Springs
and says that he is much improved.
He has been examined by the leading
doctors Of the United States and every
one says that his complaint is mega
tive, however, a big majority Of the
people Of Florida a little more than
year age took him for \ positive
and yet hold to that belief. He left
Monday morning for White Springs
for 80 days stay with the hope of
speedier recovery.
We then visited the government
building and called at the Office Of
Collector Hayes Lewis, but he sus-
picioned somebody was liable to come
around, so departed for Marianne Fri
day afternoon to visit his family. We
were invited in, however, and spent a
short while with an old Martsnnaite,
Frank Cannon, who holds a lucrative
job in the office of Mr.. Lewis.
Next we visited the office OF James
Fat Cooper Griggs and listened to his
Jovial conversation and hearty out
bursts Of laughter until we firmly be-
lieve that there is not more jollier
fellow in the state than genial Cooper.
and strange to say, but the chair be
uses just fits.
1--WE also visited the office OF the
Times-Union and again met our old
friend Bryan Mack who used to make
the blue-eyed bellies shine in the col
umns Of the Pensacola Journal. He IL
now lingering the keyboard on one OF
the Times Unions linotype machines
and from all reports is making good.
After spending all the time (and
money! we could spare seeing the
sights we departed for Mariana with
the full determination OF visiting the
city again at an early date"
