The New Fable of the GaIumptious
Girl Who Tried to Start Some
thing and Did.

Once there was a kittenish Senorita
condemned to dwell in a Piccolo Town
out on a Spur Division Of the Dinkus-
Vile Short Line.
It was one of those not-dead-but-
sleeping Settlements with Sheet
iron Cornice on every Store Building
and the Hack in which Gen. Sherman
once rode still meeting the Trains.
ALI the other Residents were sitting
back on their Surplus. trying to hatch
out Z per cent. Anyone suggesting a
Public Improvement was led into
Court House Square and publicly Be-
headed.
A Girl with real Jamaica Ginger
coursing through her Arteries did not
have a Look-In SO long as she was
hung up at this Whistling Post, where
every Meeting Of the: Research Club
was a Poultry Exhibit and the local
Astor played Brown Derby in con-
junction with the extreme Soup and
Fish. --....
So the Senorita, by name Madeleine,
used to burst into Tears every time
she saw a train pulling away from
the Depot, for she certainly had laid
the Soubrette's Curse on Home Sweet
Home.
She had read those large explosive
articles in the Family Department of
the Sunday Paper telling how the
Smart Set hang by their Toes from
Chandeliers and jump into Public
Fountains and she painted for the wild
free life of the Idle Rich.
Now it happened that Madeleine
had a married Female Cousin living
at the corner of Easy Street and Epi-

When Land Was Cheap.

Before the railroads had penetrated
South Florida, land was very cheap,
and passed from one to another for
a mere song, as the saying is. At
one time an old Florida cracker went
before a notary to make an affidavit,
and after the paper had been prepared
asked what the fee was.
ooh, about a quarter" replied the
notary indifferently.
MY gracious! amt that purity

next day returned with a deed to a

the notary who read it over care

he, passing the deed back to the

IGNITION to, the pre-eminent fitness of
Judge Walter Clark, chief justice of
the supreme court of North Carolina,
for the position of justice of the
supreme court of the United States
as the successor of Justice Horace H.
Lurton.
Judge Clark was on the superior
court bench of North Carolina for
several years and has been on the SUI
preme court bench for rs years, IL
of which he has been chief justice.
His reputation as a profound lawyer
and able jurist is nationwide and
his elevation to the supreme court

to this state on that bench for the
first time in 100 years since the days
Of James Iredell and Alfred Moore.

Judge Clark is also well known as
the author, editor and translator of
