When Mary Aston was quite a
little girl, wearing blue bingham
aprons and her real hair in two long
braids down her back, she had two
objects in life. First, a determine
ton to change the color of her hair;
and second, determination to make
her home town more beautiful.
The first wish she had cherished
since her seventh birthday, when her
cousin said with characteristic blunt
ness, MARY can never be pretty, her
hair is too red"
She had visited Jacksonville once,
when she was only a tiny girl. and
had been impressed by the beautiful
parks which she had seen, and had
never ceased to wish that PaIatka
might some time have one like it.
But when Mary had grown to be a
young lady Of some sixteen years, and
her hair still remained red, and Pa.
latka had not yet grown into the
"City Beautiful Of her dreams, she
began to despair of ever accomplish
ing either of her objects.
Then, one day, she read a story of
a girl who made her back yard over
into Japanese Garden and as she
read, an idea was rapidly forming in
Mary's head.
She had often visited friends in the
country, and when she looked out over
the broad fields Of waving grain, or
at the long green rows of turnips,
and beets and cabbages, she always

Golden Barrett received message
from Denver this morning conveying
the news of the death of William G.
Thompson, a well known and substan-

loted three score years and ten. In
the early days he was one of the
prominent accountants of the south

the family home. Later they moved
to Mildred, Colo, where Mr. Thomp-
son remained until his wife's death
about ten years ago, when he locat-
ed in Denver He is survived by four
children, three daughters and one
son. The body will be brought to

visiting with Mrs. Brown and Edna.
He was in the best of spirits and
happy hours they passed together.
Between nine and ten he bade them
good night and left for his boarding
place, where he retired to his room
about IL o'clock. Next morning he
did not rise at the usual hour nor
respond when called. Upon entering
his room members of the household
were shocked beyond measure to find
that he was dead. The end had evil

warning and without moments suf-

smile, and the body in position

had taken place. The physician who
was summoned was certain that he
had been dead several hours. Heart
failure was the cause Of death. Mrs.
Brown states he was exceedingly
popular with the college folk and the
news of his sudden passing cast a
gloom of sadness over the entire stud
ent body. Those who were the first
to know of his death feared to wire
the truth to his father SO sent mes

MIX OVER CURRENCY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. T.
1t is evident the president is On

administration over the currency
bill, pending in congress. It is un-
certain whether the president can
force caucus action without making
concessions.
The senate currency COMMITTEES 10
admittedly controlled by a combin-
alton of four Republicans and three
Democrats.
President Wilson and his cabinet
today discussed the currency meas
ure. The president has planned con-
ferences with Senators Kern, Lewis,
Owen, Hoke Smith, Overman, James,
Hughes and possible three Democrat
ic recalcitrants, Reed, Hitchcock and
O'Gorman.
The senate leaders told Wilson
there were as many currency plans
as members in the senate, and e.
pecially on the majority side. Most
of the minority believe the Aldrich
plan is good enough. s-
The president and his advisers will
decide today whether he can get eau
Gus action. The president believes
he can and insists he believes the
Democrats will eventually accept his
views. II not, he declares he will put
the matter up to the people. It has
been suggested the president take
the country into confidence.
His advisers have told him the best
way is TO accept invitations To de-
liver address in some Of the middle
west cities.
