Wise Answer.

"The late Bishop Bowman, said q
New York Methodist, "dined one
evening at a fashionable millionaire 3
in Fifth avenue.
Beside the bishop sat one of those
dyed decollete, elderly woman who
are always trying to be brilliant.
This woman ratified off lot of
silly epigrams about Buddha and Mo-
manned. and SO forth-then she
turned to the bishop and said.
"'What do you really think, bishop,
of God?'
The bishop answered with his
calm smile:
Il think, madam. that all that mat
tiers is what God thinks OF me

Must Not Marry,

BY vote of 10 to so the London
county council decided that If the
three women physicians in the employ
Of the council should marry they
would no longer be eligible to their
positions. II VAS argued that wom-
an can not attend to her family du-
ties and public duties at the same
time. Those who voted against dis.
qualifying married physicians pointed
out that many of the most successful
women teachers are married.

Ship Astray.

That must have been a dazed and
much-aggrieved skipper who brought
his windjammer, King Alfred, INTO
Charlestown, Mass, Saturday, with
nitrates from Peru which should have
gone to Charleston, S, c. This shows
the value of geography. The blame
seems to lie with the shipping clerk
who wrote Charlestown, Y. S. A. But
one of our navy vessels only last year
had similar miX-up and came near
making Tampico, Mexico, instead OF
calling at the Florida port OF the same
name.-Springfiel Republican.

TO the Sherifs of Florida
AS you know. the Legislature of
1913 enacted chapter Gi70, being an
act limiting campaign expenses and
prescribing that candidates should
make certain reports of campaign
expenditures. This law in my opin-
ion if strictly enforced, will be of
great good to our State in that it
will accomplish much towards Sc
curing the purity of the ballot and
in giving every voter a free and
equal right in the selecting of the
public officials
This new law will be for the first
time put into practical operation in
connection with the primary cleo
tonS to be held few months hence,
and while am satisfied that the
sheriffs Of the state will use their
best efforts to enforce its wholesome
provisions, and that in so doing they
will find strong support in a sympa
thctic public sentiment fully en-
dorsing the spirit and terms Of the
law, deem it we'll to invite your at
tention to section Is of the law
which reads as follows
THAT it shall be the duty of the
shcriffs Of this state to exercise

The law having thus imposed a
specific duty upon the sheriifs, it is
desired that You do all possible to
enforce a strict compliance with its
provisions. You will upon reading
this law find important provisions
thereof as follows, to-wit:
lst The amount which a candi-
date for State or county office can
cXpend of his own funds or funds
contributed is limited to the sum
liXel by the law.

expenditures except for the follow
