7 don't think the city would quite support
twice a week sailings, although it might
once started, but weekly steamers would
certainly be supported we'll if Capt.

but 7 understand the steamship people

For comparison. I understand no adjust

where merchants have compared railroad

freight twice a month and l will run

subscribe $4,000 in stock and l put one
there in 20 days after acceptance"
Capt. Krumm states his purpose in
making the stock subscription PROPOSE
ton is that he believes that would put
the relation on more permanent basis.
He also says 'If you want me to continue,
then simply give me guarantee of two
hundred tons per month. A letter will
reach me at my Havana address if ria l.

BOTH WERE DRAMATIC.
A Story of Frederick this Great and

Frederick the Great had strong

The officer. who had been discharged
at the close of the Seven Years war,
importuned the king to be reinstated
Weary of the incessant solicitations OF
his troublesome visitor, Frederick at
last gave orders that he should never
be admitted to his presence.
Some weeks later most bitter libel
against his majesty appeared. Fred
erick seldom gave himself any concern
about such pasquinades. but the pres
ent one exasperated him so much that
he offered a reward of so friedrichs of
gold for the discovery Of the author.
The day following the disgraced
lieutenant colonel demanded and OBJ
tanned an audience.

royal pledge and. while you punish me,

The king. although struck with the
sad extremity and self sacrifice OF the
officer. said sternly:
"Go instantly to the fortress OF Span
dau and there await my Judgment

money!"
within two hours your wife shall
receive it," said the king. Take this
letter and give it to the commandant

The Merchants and Capt. krumm

Go far as the merchants of the CITY
have heen canvassed none but Is deslr-
ous that steamer service between
Tampa and Punta Gorda shall De con-
tinued The whole question seems TO re-
solve itself down to regular weekly SER
vice, and classified tariff in accordance
with Capt. Krumm's own agreement 10
provide cheaper freight rates than the
land route gave.
some of the leading merchants who
were interviewed were H. Goldstein, Mr.
Mobley of the Seminole Pharmacy, Mr..
las. S, Golf, Jas McClelland.
Mr.. Golf said II get freight every week
from Tampa and must have 1t. l want
water freight service. We need 1t badly
here. We need a boat as often as once
week and we ought to get at least as good
a freight rate as we get from the A c.
L. Capt Krumm promised a rate much
lower. So far my experience has been
that the rate was higher l was charged
s11.73 for the bill on the first trip when
the A. C. L. rate for the same would have
been SIS. 90. l have not paid IT pendlns
an adjustment to accord with krumm
agreement Also it cost me one third
more for hauling from the boat we
must have dates of sailing on which we
can depend. I cannot have stuff waiting
in Tampa from one sailing to another
where it is no oftener than 1t has been.
I want a boat line but as / say sailings
could be at least once a week to meet our
needs and the rates should come under
the railroad as soon as a tariff can be
arranged by Capt. Krumm.
1T shall do all can to help Krumm get
down to working basis"
Jas McClelland said" had only little
stuff sent on the first trip and the charge
was more than it would have been by
rail but / am willing to do what ever
can to ]. Il, let The line running satisfact-
orily il W. Cd. get a weekly sailing and
rates slightly under the railroad. We
ned L.s steamer and L hope Capt.
Krumrn viii set a boat here to keep regu-
lar sailing days when know all the mer-
chants will keep their word If the rates
are made right"
H.Goldstein said II haven't much
chance to use the line as so much of my
stuff comes in CARROTS through from North
Carolina but have no complaint to make
about the charges on what l did have
come through by boat. l want to see the
line get into satisfactory operation. An
adjustment of tariffs and sailing dates
win settle it I think"
Mr. Mobley of the Seminole Pharmacy
said Il can't hold freight for two weeks

mitted would be nothing but guess

very large number. The Record
limits the number to a comparative
few and makes the work more of a
certainty. A necessary book without
doubt. The Solution Blank Book has
been designed to meet the peculiar
conditions that prevail among con-
testants as regards the solution of the
pictures. The wide diversity of ideas
on one or several pictures only goes
to prove the old saying about no two
minds alike. In order to give con-
testants the widest latitude ten an
swers to each picture are permitted
in the Solution Book. In addition to
this and in order to make 1t more in
teresting, 20 of the contest pictures
have been keyed in such a way that
contestants can hardly help solving
them. The cost of compiling. Dre.
pairing and printing these books was
considerable expense and the price
charged for each did not admit of anv
profit. In fact, all things considered
they were sold at cost Now as the
contest is drawing to a close and
