HARD TO BELIEVE.

Some months ago, an actor was ramb-
ling around in a zone whore hOrseshoes
were so scarce that good luck was but a
dream
Eventually there came a change. one
night the house was full, and great was
the Thespian's joy,
'Be good to me and tell ME the truth, "
he cried. dragging the manager from the
rear Are those really and truly people
out there
"You can bet hundred on it, was the
smiling response of the delighted stage
manger.
"Weu, that's one on me-" returned the
actor. 81 thought it was a painted drop

In that last short sentence Flagler sum-

next fifteen years, but the simple creed
OF the Standard Oil So successfully was

came one OF the richest men In the world.
The profits Of the oil business had been
put back into the business until the day
came when there was no need for fur
ther investment. new problem faced
the partners, what to do with their vast
income. Rockefeller turned to education,
t'lagler to Florida

He saw It's possibilities as a resort, and
ne saw equally the necessity of more
comfortable accommodations, both in
hotel and train. No sooner seen ,han
done-he built a hotel and brought the
railroad to recognize it. The building Of
that hotel he afterwards said was the
most difficult thing in all HIS work in

Here was St. Augustine. the oldest

Seeing the possibilities in orange grow
ing, Flagler became interested in agri-
culture. He built a railroad into an UNI
developed Wilderness, but the very first
year the orange trees planted by the pio-
neers that followed the railroad were
blighted by frost. with the intention OF
going beyond the reach of frost he built
the road to Palm Beach. Again the frost
came, in a country supposed to be i'm
the town there. Years later when 1t be-
came certain that the United States
would build the Panama canal, he sent
for his engineers and put through the
the road to Key West.
All that he did, he did thoroughly.

WORRIED ABOUT THE
 REPAIR SHIP PANTHER
May Have Perished in Storm On the COaSt-NO Response to
 Wireless Calls.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Every govern ment wireless station along the wire less coast spluttered tonight in an attempt to locate the naval repair ship Panther which sailed from New York last Thursday and which has not been heard from since. She passed the Virginia Cape Friday at the beginning of the terrific storm which swept the Atlantic coast.
 Naval officers here, while saying that the repair ship would not com municate with the land stations un- til she arrived at Guantanamo, nev- ertheless, are worried over her lack of attendance to the wirelss calls which have been sent out in pursu- ance of orders from Secretary oi Navy Meyer.
 The Panther carried 120 men and is due at Guantanamo Wednesday. Ii nothing is heard of her within the next "A hours it is likely that two fast cruisers will 7be sent to search for her.

It is there tha- Robert Stafford asks V Virginia to be his wife.
