corn is boiled in great caldrons by the side
of the country roads and sold out of the
kettle to passersby.
There are many open fields in and about
Constantinople, to which the people resort
on high days and holidays, the brilliant
colors of the native dress standing out
against the greenest green and the bluest
blue of the natural background. And every
where the dazzling sheen Of water, the sill
very, calm surface of the Marmora stretching
away in the distance, and the blue winding
beauty of the Bosporls at our feet. There
is a hush about Turkish holiday gathering,
which is always like a Sunday. Caiques
glide noiselessly by, people sit in groups,
or saunter about on the shore, like the fig
ures in a picture. No haste, no noise, all
movements slow and dignihed, everybody
making kyef in his own particular way.
One of the popular resorts for great num-
bers of people is the Sweet Waters of Europe,
a small stream of fresh water flowing into
the upper part of the Golden Horn. The
best and easiest way to reach this place, the
stranger is told, is by rowboat up the Golden
Horn. This ~best and easiest way is, how
ever, bit trying to the nerves. Galata
Bridge, from which the boats leave, is the
busiest spot in Constantinople You are
jostled from before and behind, screamed
at in all the languages you ever heard of,
and frightened nearly to death, before you
get down the rickety little stairway leading
to the landing. Nothing can really happen
to you; but you do not know that until
afterward. If you should fall into the water,
you would be promptly fished out by friend
ly hands. amid MaShaLlahs! in all the tones
Of the chromatic scale. Down below, you
are warned within an inch of your life about
all the things YOU must not do in the caique.
A caique is a small rowboat, the daintiest,
most graceful little craft in the world; but
it was made to tip over.
If you get away from the landing without
being spilled out into the water, you breathe
one sigh of relief; but not more than one,
for the Golden Horn is very narrow and
very busy, and any moment you may look
up at the PROV of steamer bearing down
upon YOU at full speed Behind you, and
to the right of you, and to the left of you,
are clumsy freight boats managed by scold-
ing boatmen. And just here one of your
oarsnen does what he has forbidden you to
do,-stands up in his place! Wildly ges-
ticulating, he scolds back in picturesque
Turkish at a careless steersman, who has
nearly tipped you over After you have had
this experience few times and have es-
capped with your life, you cease to mind it.
Quiet comes at last; and long, smooth
stretches of shining water. The motion OF
a caique is perfect. 1t glides over the water
with no effort at all. The silvery light of
the eastern sun, the magic touch Of the soft
south wind, the voice of the mueZzin calling
to prayer from the minaret in the distance
charm you into the land of the lotus.

HAYES LEWIS IS
IN WASHINGTON
WENT TO CONSULT COMMISSION
Err OF INTERNAL REVENUE ON
THE QUESTION OF APPOINT
ING NUMBER OF NEW MEN IN
HIS OFFICE.

A Washington special says: Hayes
Lewis, collector of internal revenue at
Jacksonville, il here consulting Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Os-
born regarding the appointment Of war
revenue deputies in his office.
Mr.. Lewis has been granted author
ity to name two office clerks, or depu-
ties, and two field agents.
He wishes to have this changed so
that he may appoint three field agents
and use the salary that would be
placed to the fourth in increasing the
salaries of those employed at present
in his Office.
Mr. Lewis today succeeded in max
ing an arrangement exactly to his Xix
ing in connection with appointment of
war revenue deputies. He will be al
lowed to appoint three field men and
one office deputy or clerk all to draw
$1,000 a year. He also is authorized
in appointing the new employees to
promote men now in his office to the
higher salaries Of 81, 200 a year by Civ
ing them the positions. This means
that several now in his office drawing
SIS a month will get handsome promo
tiOnS.

CHIEF WAS IN
PLAIN CLOTHES
BUT THERE WAS A METHOD IN
HIS MADNESS, AND 1T is TRUE
FOR HE TELLS 1T L.soN HIM
SELF.

Chief of Police Frank D. Sanders
wore plain clothes Wednesday.
At least he was so attired in the
afternoon. His suit was a handsome
black one, such as becomes him nicely,
but it was not because he wanted to
shift his uniform clothes-it was be-
cause it was a case of have to.
Wednesday forenoon at an early hour
Chief Sanders was called upon to be-
head a big turkey which he enjoyed
for yesterdays dinner. ~ don't kill
turkeys often" explained the chief,
land am, therefore, not used to it,
Well, he armed himself with a
Ratchet and struck at the Thanksgiving
birds neck The blow fell short, as 1t
did not deprive the turkey of his head.
But it did slash the latter's neck
Then began a tussle, first the chief
and then the bird, had the advantage.
1t ended, however, in the chief getting
the best of the fighting prisoner Gas he
always does), and the head fell with
the precise second blow
But it will take a lot of dry cleaning
to get the turkeys lifeblood, which
oozed so freely, from the uniform of
Chief of Police Frank d. Sanders.

HISTORIC SITE
ON PENSACOLA
BAY WAS SOLD
MAGNOLIA BLUFF, OWNED FOR
MANY YEARS BY THE L. & NJ,
WAS TRANSFERRED TO GEN.
ERAL MANAGER q. M. STARK.

General Manager B. NJ. Stark has
been decided the historic Magnolia
Bluff site, but just what use the rail-
road man will make Of the property
isn't known, even to the local officials
close to the manager. A deed convey
ing said property to the general man
ager by the l.. & y. was filed for
record a couple Of days ago, but 1t
was dated August 81 of this year.
The private car of Mr.. Stark was
parked on Alcaniz street, near the new
depot, in the. latter part of August.
No consideration outside of the sum
of 81 was made known in the deal,
but the site is said to have not been
on the market very long, and must
have brought quite a figure. The north
boundary line measures 1910 feet. On
the east it is 667 feet, on the west $50
feet, and on the south, 9S5 feet. The
deed carries with it an extension to
the channel of Pensacola bay less 100
feet of the right of way for the p. & A.
division.
The property has been owned by the
l. & N railroad company for many
years, having been conveyed to said
company by w. D. Chipley July 9,
1892.
Magnolia Bluff has been the scene
of many a gathering, sought chleny
by picnic crowds, and especially by
organizations which did not care to go
over the water to reach the pleasure
site Many years ago military COM
panies usually frequented that place
for camp, drills and target practicing,
and on more than one occasion thou
sands of bluejackets from the ships
Of the North Atlantic squadron sought
the spot for maneuvers. In fact the
place, was at one time said to have
been favored for concentration camps.
and had troubles in the republics south
of Pensacola have became SO threaten
ing. as to have demanded the presence
there of soldiers from this country,
and had an invasion have been decided
upon, it was very generally believed
that this would have been the site for
a great concentration camp.
