day for Teobaldo Calissano, minister
of posts and telegraphs and the
youngest member of the cabinet,

conditions. He was presiding at a
banquet attended by 800 of his con-
stituents and was delivering a speech
in which he referred to the principal
points of Premier Ciolittl's platform
at the approaching general elections.
Suddenly he turned pale and collapsed
into his chair his head striking the
table while he gasped "water!"

him dying A priest was called and
administered the last rites.

Mr.. swansson's Book

MR. CWSnSS0nS D0ok-
Carl z. Swanson, a member of the
1880 company, coast artillery corps,
u. S. A.. has written a remarkable
Press, 116 East 2sth street, New York
city, entitled Social Wrongs" In this
work Mr.. Swanson presents his rem
edy for the conditions IN the civilized
world which cause twenty per cent of
the population to stand on the verge Of
want. The author has evolved a new
idea, which Is worthy Of careful study
on the part of all thoughtful men and
women. It would be unfair to the au-
thor for us to attempt the giving Of
a synopsis Of this work. 1t should be
read to be appreciated. Sent post

Landing Perkins
The appointment ofsJ w. Perkins,
who runs a laundry in Pensacola, to
the Office Of United States marshal for
the northern district Of Florida, nat
urally causes considerable soreness
among Florida democrats generally.
So far as known the only claim Per-
ldns had on this appointment was the
fact that he is a cousin of Attorney
General McReynolds. He is a new
conner to Florida, has not been here
long enough to become identified with
the Florida democracy or anything
else F1oridian, and if he has ever rem
dered any service to the party in this
or any other state, the fact has not
been disclosed. Yet he has been pre-
ferred above a number of Florida
democrats for one of the best offices
in the state. It Is said that the aspira-
tions of Perkins had much to do with
the appointment of J. +. c. Griggs as
collector of customs for Florida. Mr..
Griggs was an applicant for the posi-
ton of United States marshal and it
is stated that he was strongly urged
for the other place by McReynolds in
order that the way might be cleared
for his cousin, Perkins. This was the
political gossip at the time, and the
manner in which Perkins got in is
pretty good indication that the gossip
was correct.-Tampa Tribune.

Petition for Pardon.
Honorable Earl Brewer, Governor,

Honorable Earl Brewer, Governor,
jackson, Miss:
We, the undersigned petitioners, re-
specially petition you to release from
confinement in the ~penitentiary Willie
Fowler, convicted on a plea of guilty in
the August term of the Grenada county
circuit court, 1912, and sentenced to
serve a term of two years in the state
penitentiary. We state without hest
tation that we believe the young man,
scarcely twenty years of age, to be
wholly unconscious of the nature of the
crime, on account of his mental inca
pacity. Further: We deem that his
stay in confinement the length of time
already to be sufficient punishment for
the crime charged-larceny under the
peculiar circumstances of the occasion
of the asportation.
Trusting that you will exercise your
executive clemency in his case and as
suring you that such mercy will not
prove misplaced, we are,
Respectfully,
w. A. Oliver,
T. r. Gordon,

READ : ALI HOUR A DA,
How Housewife w>h ln.eIlloencs
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
a Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought up a big
FAMILY on small income, vet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
1t IS due to Half-Hour club.
This club has as its fixed rule that
naif an hour each day must be spent
IN SOLID reading. There was a leeway
or "A hours, after that there was
nne OF five cents each day for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice month the club meets for
discussion of the reading done and to
collect fines Of delinQuents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told y. ....s club
says: mo one knows what 1t has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman In family of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for. les
sons to be heard, it Is a big tempta-
ton to stop reading entirely or to
tr1tter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and, best of all. it has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, Of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially If YOU live in small
town Is such club of Importance. 1t
is easy to stagnate unless conscious
effort is made. The winter season Is
the time to start such a club amona
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
daily for yourself You will never hold
to 1t without the stimulus Of com
partnership and the broadening inter.
est of the fortnightly meetings.
