TRYING HARD TO
WIN At TAMP|CO
Capture of this Important Port
Would be q Great Advantage
to ConstitutiOnalistS

Washington, Dec. 13.-Wireless
dispatches from Rear ADMIRAL Flet-
cher, commanding the American fleet
at Tampico, report that terrific fight
ing continues with neither the reb-
els or federals gaining any material
advantage. Five hundred persons
have sought refuge in neutral zone.
Admiral Fletcher states that foreign
property is being respected.
The fighting at Tampico was rec
ognized by administration officials
here, as likely to have a considera-
BILE effect on the immediate progress
of the revolution.
The possession of a port where
munitions Of war could be safely
landed from abroad as well as the
revenues that would be acquired thru
the collection Of customs receipts
there would greatly aid the consti-
tutiOnalist cause.

Hay is BETTER
TO RAISE THAN HADES

The Lakeland Telegram wisely
observes that:
The discussion of the Bryan pri-
mary law occupies from ten to twen-
ty times omre columns of space in
the Florida press than the story of
the Florida cattle tick, the damage it
IS doing and the measures taken to
destroy it; cut the eradication of
tnat tick is from ten to twenty times
more important to the people Of
Florida than the Bryan primary law.
Better native beef cattle and more of
the mis- a magnificent issue alongside
of which the primary law looks as
insectivorous as the cattle tick it
self"
''Insectivorous'' looks like a good
word. While the discussion of the
primary law or any other law affect
ing the political liberties of the peo-
pie is good thing, it must be ad-
mitted that the material develop
ment of the state receives entirely
too little attention at the hands of
many of the newspapers.
In this time of high prices and
decreasing supply of beef, Florida
should profit by helping to supply
the demand. Instead of doing that.

MAN BARKS FOR 27 YEARS
Being Hit by Bat at . Ball
Game.

Philadelphia.-Frederick Saunders
Of Shamokin, Pa. was brought to the
Medico-C hirurgical hospital here to be
cured of q v trouble that for
twenty-seven years has caused him to
bark and yelp like a dog and paw the
ground with his feet. He otherwise is
sane.
Saunders was stricken when seven
years old. Like most boys he had a
mania for baseball. One day when
Jack" Stivetts, once q famous pitch
err with the Boston Nationals, was
playing in q game at Ashland, Pa. the
bat slipped from S~tivetts' hands. 1t
struck Saunders on the left eye,
knocking him unconscious. When he
revived several minutes later he
started to bark and yelp like q dog
and speak with convulsive movements
and never has recovered.
Saunders talks in soft tones. Sud-
denly. however. his voice will break
into . series Of barks and yelps, his
feet paving the ground. When the
attacks, which occur every few min
utes, are over he continues his con-
versation where it was broken of.
