Laundried Money

Jacksonville Metropolis: Launder.
ed money is pronounced Just as good
as new bills, fresh from the printer
according to a report just made to
the United States Treasurer. If 50
much of the excuse for the circula-
ton of dirty money disappears.
Leaving out of consideration the
chances for spreading diseases, what a
sense of pleasure it gives one to re-
ceive payment in clean, fresh bills!
Any bank or mercantile concern that
takes extra pains to distribute clean
money whenever possible gives real
pleasure, which may have some COM
mercial value.
1t has sometimes been said that the
greater use of gold coins in Europe
has tendency to promote economical
habits. The pieces make such a ma
steal jingle and look so shiny that the
money does not burn its way out of
the pocket so fast. 1t seems too pretty
to spend. Perhaps a greater use Of
clean bills would also have a similar
effect.

CALLED HIM A MAJOR.

And Major He Remained. For the
Emperor's Word Had Passed.
Emperor William l. of Germany
prided himself upon the fact that his
subjects considered his word as bind
ing as the laws of the Modes aud
Persians." An amusing incident in
Mrs. Hugh Fraser's "Reminiscences OF
DipIOuatist's Wife" shows that the
peoples confidence was not misplaced
One day the emperor's adjntant,
Count Seckendortf. presented an officer
to MIN upon the Iatter's promotion to
major.
Congratulations. major" said the
emperor. The officer glanced at him
an instant with an expression Of as
constituent and delight, then bowed
and withdrew.
Presently, TO his dismay, Count Sec
kend0rtf discovered that the officer
thus promoted was one OF two brothers
and that it was the other one, the
elder, who had just reached his major
tty. The younger brother, who had
just been presented to the emperor
was only captain.
When he explained the mistake tn
the emperor William |. replied: well
there's nothing to be done Major /
said, and major he must remain"
Seckendortf came to him a few days
later with the request that he might
be allowed to present the real major
but the emperor shook his head. No
no. my dear fellow" he answered
With smile: You don't catch me
making the same mistake twice" It
took some persuasion to induce him tu
receive the newly promoted officer

HOPES WAY.

Written for The PalatBa News b
Rev. C. V. Waugh, DID.
The life as each one lives it
Is only fond hopes chase;
One climbs the heights to get it,
Descends the depths to have it,
Fearing by night, toiling by day,
But the hope he sees will not stay
Until he can attain it.
In advance of glooming morning
Hopes day stars sure to rise;
One starts his race to get it
And strains his powers to have it,
But e'er his hand on it can lay,
Alluring hope will further stray,
To allure him further on.
0, tickle hope! "Our Mother"
Still by thee We'll remain;
We could not turn aside from thee,
We'd rather ever cling to thee,
For dark's the night without the light
And hard it is to walk Alright
When darkness settles down.

Is Pellagra Spreading?-

Tampa Times: Five years ago the
famous Dr. Osler, then a member of
the faculty of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, stated at convention of physi-
clans that the disease of pellagra pos
sessed no interest to them because it
was nonresident in the United States.
Last week another eminent medi-
cal man asserted at the International
Congress of Medicine then in session
at London, that there were fifty thou
sand cases of that terrible disease in
Ithe United States. 1t is impossible
that the number of cases could have
increased from none to fifty thousand
within the time mentioned. The con-
clusion then is unavoidable that one
or the other doctor didn't know what
he was talking about.
There does not seem to be, or ever
to have been, in the entire history of
medical science another instance OF
such complete cropping in the dark
on the part of the medical profession
as in this of pellagra. Its origin is
just as completely unknown today as
it was the day the first case was dis
covered and the proper treatment fol
it's cure is equally an unsolved mys-
terry.

The News has received a letter
from Congressman Frank Clark in
which that gentleman urges that in a
recent reference to the appointment
of L. W. Irvine to be postmaster at
Lake City we did him an injustice in
saying that the nomination was made
in opposition to his wishes; that Mr..
Clark was urging the appointment of
Mr.. Plympton, and that because of the
refusal of the postmaster general to
appoint Mr.. Clark's friend, Clark was
mad and had threatened to stay away
from the department. The News
doesn't want to do Mr.. Clark an inius-
tice. 1t therefore takes pleasure in
repeating from his letter this state
ment: There is absolutely no truth
in the statement that the Postmaster
General and myself are at odds. Our
relations are most pleasant, and ex
pect, as | have done all along, to en-
dorse postmasters in my district as
the vacancies occur, and to have them
appointed right along" Mr.. Clark
further states that Mr.. Plymton was
his first choice, that the Postmaster
General refused to appoint him, ami
that he then endorsed Mr.. Irvine, who
secured the prize. The News made
the statement it did for the reason
that at the time it was current COM
men in the state. 1t is glad that Mr.,
Clark favors its friend Irvine, the
progressive.

Pensacola journal: The promi.
nence which Mrs. Sulzer, wife Of the
governor of New York, now occupies
IN the public eye as a consequence OF
her husbands political misfortunes
recalls an incident of the Baltimore
convention in which Mr.. Sulzer got
three votes for vice-president.
The New York delegation, of which
Mr.. Sulzer was a member, sat right
across the aisle from the Florida del
egatlon. Mrs. Sulzer occupied seat
with her husbands delegation much
of the time and the Florida delegates
became quite well acquainted with her.
Her interest in the convention pro-
ceedings and her grasp Of the impor-
tant features of the convention were
very marked.
When the nomination of vice-presi-
dent was before the conventions, the
Florida delegation decided to split its
II votes among three candidates. Be
fore casting the vote, however, Gov.
ernor Gilchrist, who was chairman OF
The delegation, said: 1--WE ought to
give part of our vote to Mrs. Sulzer
and ! suggest that we divide the vote
among four candidates, giving three
to Sulzer and three to each of the 9TH
ers." This was done and Sulzer got
the three votes as compliment to his
attractive wife.

for State Prison Farm

Preparations for State Prison Farm
Starks Telegraph: The Board of
Commissioners of State Institutions,
consisting of the Governor and the
members of his cabinet, are making
their headquarters at Lawtey for a
few days, having arrived there yester-
day. The business in hand is some
preliminary surveying and the loca-
ZION of sites for buildings and fences
soon to be built on the convict farm,
north of Starke.
1t will be recalled that the board
two or three years ago bought $4,000
acres of our fine Bradford county
lands for the establishment of con-
vict farm.
The last legislature provided for the
gradual abolition Of the convict lease
system and it, therefore, became nee
essary to begin improvements at once
on the convict farm. For these I'M
provements an appropriation of $500.
900 was made, and it is for the pur-
pose of getting the Improvements I'M
der way that Governor Trammell and
his cabinet are now in the county.
The improvements soon to be start
ed will give employment to large

DEFECTIVE LAWS.

Following the lead of some of

Florida now has blue Sky

fective. 1t hits legitimate cor

is means of evading it think well

the law bad for two reasons

tive. All laws are defective. All
governments are defective. As yet

But when the Metropolis claims that

it is talking about. 1t is true that

the people, must first go before the

nothing to fear. If it is an honest en-

1t is the dishonest corporation that is

states, and why not in Florida. The
Florida law is a copy of the Kansas

to try it one time.
