LIKE CAESAR DID,

When Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gauls for Rome,
what was the first thing that he did
to make them feel at home? DID he
increase the peoples load and liberty
forbid? No he dug in and built goo1
roads-that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foeman's breast, or did he try to
make them feel the Roman rule was
hest? What did he do to make them
glad he'd come their midst amid? He
built good roads in place OF bad
that's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill te
bill. Good roads from vale to vale. He
ran q good roads improvement til
old Rome got all the kale. He tolt
the folks to buy at home, build roads
their hills amid. until all roads lei

CANDLES.

A candle is q cylinder of tallow
or wax, with a wick in it. 1t Is used
principally to show of a rare old or
an expensive new candle stick.
When a candle is lighted it makes
a tiny. tapering hole in the dark
ness. This is principally valuable
because it prevents the passeroy
from running into the candle. II
the candle is in good health and is
burning we'll. it can, be detected
readily in a large room without the

Candles are decorative and ro-

TO illuminate anything with them.

cozy home with only dozen candles

AN INSTITUTION OF WHICH
FLORIDlANS MAY Be PROUD

The State School for the Deaf anu
Blind at St. Augustine is doing
great and humane work for those
whom nature or circumstance mas
handicapped by depriving them OF
one or both of the precious faculties
of sight or hearing. 1t is pleasure to
the kindly disposed people through
out the State to learn OF the success
which is attending the operation OF
this school, which, unlike many In
stitutions maintained at the public
expense, seems to be admirably man
aged and doing we'll the great work
for which it is intended. In this
connection the St. Augustine Rec
ord in referring to the commence
ment exercises closing the present
academic year. makes the following
comment:
"The State School for the Deaf and
the Blind is an institution OF which
more should be known by Floridians
in general. 1t is an institution OF
which the commonwealth may well
be proud Rapidly it is coming ~
be recognized as one of the leading
institutions of the kind in the ma
ton.
"A blind child or deaf and dumb
child ordinarily faces a life OF blank
ness, devoid Of all that goes to make
life worth while. But this school
brings to them the light Of knowl-
edge and usefulness and makes Of
them men and women fitted to carry
out their own part in the scheme Of
the world-good and useful citizens
devoid Of all knowledge Of any
kind of expression are many OF thu
deaf and dumb children when the!
enter the institution. But love ant
kindness and patience bring tn
bright light of knowledge to thei
eyes and open the wonders befor
them of the world Of books. The
are taught useful trades. Thei
minds broaden with phenomena
alacrity. They enter with zest int
the gaining of the knowledge whic
makes of them useful men an
women.
1.-THE blind children are a's
taught trades as we'll as the lesson
Of the curriculum. And the mus
course Is especially proving OF benz
1t to them, opening to their touc
the enlightening vista which CIV
their souls full expression. To 81
these children at their work is II
spiration.
"Florida cannot do too much 4
her deaf and her blind and the E
,sning Record is glad to see that Il
Legislature Is providing more 4
them. No appropriation could
made in better cause.
"And Of President Albert H. Wal
OF and his splendid faculty of i
gtructors and supervisors too mu'
IN praise cannot be said.
"A stroll through the school at al
time shows happy laughing faces
far more cheerful in truth than a
to be seen in many schoolroc
where the pupils are possessed

DIRECTUM l SHOWED HIS SPEED
Took 2:O7 Pace Hartford in Straight Heats-Went One Half Mile in :OO 1-2, Catching the Field After Break That Put Him Four Lengths the Bad the Quarter

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 3.-Directum L the sensational pacing stallion of the season, afforded the spectators at the Grand circuit races here this after noon fine spectacle of his speed when he took the 2.O7 pace in straight heats, outclassing the field. The Cap 1tay City, 2.0S trot was won by the ulSe bay mare Cheney, after losing the first heat while the unexpected happened twice in the 2.20 trot for three year olds allowing George Rex 10 come in winner after three heats on both occasions. In the 2.09 trot Fan Patch came back strongly this af- ternoon and beat Cox's horse in a close finish.
 Directum I surprised the crowd by his wonderful speed and the easy manner in which he led the rest of the held around the track in the first and third heats. An excellent idea of the possibilities of this stallion when he IS pushed to it. was to be found in the second heat, Directum I breaking at the quarter pole and dropping four lengths behind the field. He went after the heat, despite the difference in distance and caught the bunch at the turn into the stretch, coming home in front He made the last half mile in loo 1-2. In the first heat of the Capital City trot, Cascade, Rythmell and Cheney were shut out. Marigold winning, but Driver Fleming appealed To the judges and so did Oakdale's pilot, with the result that Mcdonald, who drove Oakdale, was called to the stand. and 1t was announced after an explanation that Cheeny was placed fifth because of unavoidable inteTfer- ence. That let Fleming's mare have another chance and she made the most of 1t, coming home first in the next three heats in which she passed Mar 1gold half way down the stretch in the first two and held the lead in the last all the way from the three-Quar- ters pole against the best that Mur- phy could secure from his mare.
 Hollyrood Kate had the first heat for three year olds almost won when about fifty feet from the wire the roan lilly slipped and almost fell. George Rex coming in ahead, Tuna z. had too much for Murphy's colt in the sec ond heat and won handily, but in the third another unexpected ending fa- vored George Rex as Tuna z. with the race all but won. broke less than 100 feet from the wire and George Rex came in a winner of the heat and the race.

MAck's BALL YARD
Ambitious Young Players Work Out
 Under Great Leaders Direction.

Connie Mack's school for ball play CTS is one of base1alls greatest oddi- ties. It probably also is an innova- tion which will result in Philadelphia having winning American league team, one that will finish in the first division for years to come. The Ath- letic ball yard is literally alive with ambitious young ball players during practice sessions. Scores of young men with major league aspirations work out daily at the Mack lot in the sum- mer months. There are dozen em- bryo big league pitchers, a horde of infielders and outfelders and num- of catchers.
 These young men. for the most part, are not under contract. They come to Connie Macks park and work out under the shadow of the great white elephant, hopeful of being picked for development by the eagle-eyed Con- nie, who is a wonder at picking up youthful diamond talent that gives promise of making good. All these youngsters come to Connie because they know that Mack is a believer in young players. They come because they know that if they have the stuff Connie will see that they are placed in some school or some team until they are ripe for the Athletic plucking
 The names of these youngsters are not made public. They come and go without saying word to anybody They know that upon their silence depends their chance of being raised" by the shrewd master who is leading the Athletic host. Publicity would mean nosing around by other scouts, and they prefer to remain, to keep still and take a chance with Connie.
