A citizen Of Indiana recently made
tour of Florida and went back to
his home people and reported that
Florida was q great country and the
climate was all that could be hoped
for, but that the people lived in con.
slant fear of another freeze, which,
he said, would practically bankrupt
the state as it did II years ago. Ii
the gentleman had been a close
observer, and a careful student OF
conditions in Florida then and now
he would have reported differently
! To begin with, at the time OF the
great freeze OF II years ago, or
anges We're the staple crop. Veget
ables were only grown for home use
and many varieties were not grown
at all The orange was the whole
thing, and the freeze put many PEG

He took the pocketbook to the owner,
who at first praised him very highly
for his honesty. Indeed, he was SO
loud In his praise that be forgot to
count out the money for the reward.
When Herman asked him for 1t ne
opened all the different compartments
as though looking for something, then
began to abuse the old man. saying
that there had been much more money
In the pocketbook than he now found
there. Herman denied having taken
anything out of it. whereupon the
man began to curse and to swear at
Herman calling him thief. and, nus
Ting him to the door. put him out, CIV
Ing him kick at the same time.
It happened that a policeman was
going by the house at the time ana
asked what was the matter. The own
er Of the pocketbook told his story
and Herman charged him with refus-
4 ing to- pay the reward he had offered
besides assaulting him. The ponce
man took them to the station. where
he entered charge of disorderly con-
duct against both of them in order that
the matter might be thrashed out IN
court.
The next morning they were brought
into court with other prisoners, anu
when their case was called the Judge
asked for statement Of facts. 1t was
soon made evident to him that Herman
had been beaten out Of his reward
He also got from the old man that ne
was too old to work and that ne ana
his wife were about to go to the poor
house. Honesty under such circum'
stances made very favorable impress
sion, while the conduct of the owner
of the pocketbook appeared very repre-
hensible.
"You say" said the judge to the iat-
ter, ''that there was much more money
in the poeketbook than was returned'
Eyes, your honor"
"How much more"
There were seven $1,000 and TOUR
$500 bills, in all $4,000"

GIGANTIC WATER WHEELS.

Cracking, Grooming Monsters That En-
liyen City In Syria.
Hama, in Syria, says writer In the
Wide World Magazine, Is famed for
its huge water wheels, locally known
as naura. There are four Of them.
and they are driven by the river Or.
ontes. which flows through the town.
Each of the wheels bears distin-
guished name, and the visitor to the
city is made aware Of their presence
long before he sees them by the creak-
ing and groaning noise which greets
his ear. At first it suggests pipe or
gan and later brass band practicing.
The wheels are built of dark ma.
hogany. which gives them at dis
lance the appearance of iron. The lar
gest of them boasts of diameter OF
seventy-fv feet and is declared to be
the biggest water wheel in existence.
The naura are erected on what Is
known as the undershot principle
that Is to say. they are driven by the
water striking them at their base
They serve not only to supply the town
with water. but also irrigate the adj
jacent gardens.
The wheels never stop. summer or
winter. and day and night their creak.
ing and grooming are heard In the
summer months small boys may al
ways be seen bathing In the river In
the neighborhood Of the wheels, and
for a small coin they will get In be-
tween the spokes Of the wheels and al.
low themselves to be carried around
many times or hang on the outside of
the wheel and drop back into the wa
ter when halfway up.

BUILDING A RAILROAD.
What It Means When thS Contractors
Begin Operations.

Begin Operations.
With the right Of way established.
a great army Of men enter into the
Geld. The company does not build its
own road. It is turned over to contrac-
tors and Is usually let In sections OF
from 200 to 300 miles.
The contractor must live up to GER
tain specifications, just as though he
were building house. and he fur
nishes everything-men, teams, ma
chinery, food and material Few peo-
Die realize what this means. A con-
tractor must be very near to king.
For instance, there Is the Hazelton
section in the mountains. 1t Is less
than 200, miles in length. Before q
single shovel or pick was engaged In
the building OF this section the con-
tractors had to equip themselves with
a feet OF steamboats, at cost of $780,
600 They had to build scores OF
camps ut from $1,000 to $4,000 camp.
Each of these centers had to be stock
ed with provisions. supplies and mate
rails almost before builder was
brought In Before these contractors
moved shovelfui Of earth or fired a
single blast they had spent over &c.
100000.
Each contractors camp is like q

The Word "PouItry.r

Poultry. according to the definition
given in one standard encyclopedia, in

birds reclaimed by man for the sake of
their flesh and their eggs" The word
comes from the Latin "pullus," which
could mean a young horse or donkey

nearest equivalent being volatile" or

way knows poultry as "federvich.'
