DIARY OF FATHER TIME

The action of a Missouri minister
who recently censured one of his
congregation for going to sleep dur
ing the sermon reminds me of the
experience Of Sir Guy Fleetwood Will
son, in making his first budget state
ment before the Calcutta, India,
council. Sir Guy blames it on the
climate which he says has much to
do with the amount Of sleep a man
requires. In India sleep overtakes
people at the most unexpected mo-
ments.
On the occasion in question, the
room was abnormaIy hot and, close

A modern winter resort is being
planned by DR.. Charles E. Cessna for
the Choctawhatchee bay territory
which is being developed by the Chi
cago capitalist. -Four Mile Point
which is on the south side of the bay
and extending out into the bay for
nearly mile, has been selected as the
site. 1t overlool<s the entire bay, af
fording a beautiful view. On the poin1

Buys Another Large Tract.
So successful has DR. Cessna been
in colonizing the territory around San
Ia Rosa, the town which he founded 8
few years ago, that he has now pur-
chased another tract of twelve thou
sand acres across the bay, which he
proposes to coIonize as he did Santa
Rosa, locating northern and western
farmers on the land. The land com
posing the new tract is equally as
good, IL not better, than that com
posing the section around Santa Rosa,
and it is the intention of the doctor
to establish another town of the same
character of Santa Rosa as soon as his
plans fully mature.

played so much money was suspicious
to the conductor and he made in
quiries. Deputy Marshal Cusachs,
who was spoken 10, said that a mar
had been robbed the night before, and
this caused suspicion to be more strong
ly against the boy. He was finally ar
rested by Deputy NcCurdy at F1om-

Goldsmith was arrested by Officer
Anderson, and CHIEF Sanders arrested

people have been located. They are
farmers who know how to cultivate
the soil and are making success of
farming. While they are growing
vegetables for the canning factory they
are also putting in thousands of grape
fruit and orange trees and within a
few years this promises to be "a citrus
fruit section of no small proportions.
Ten thousand trees have been planted
during the past few months.
At present workmen are engaged in
cutting a drainage ditch two miles in
length, which will carry off the surplus
alter that accumulates after heavy
rains and will drain all of the section
around Santa Rosa. Two new church
buildings are also to be erected at an
early date, one for those of the Cath
Ollie faith and another for the Ger
mans. Practically every state in the
union north of the Ohio river is rep
resented in the population of Santa
Rosa at the present time, and there
are also many from Canada. Many of
the settlers came south practically
physically unfit to do hard labor, but
they now say they are able to do hard
labor and are doing it in putting in
fruits and intend spending their re-
naming days in the territory where
they have settled.
On every trip Of the commodious
steamer Cessna, plying between Pen
sacola and Choctawhatchee new set
tiers are carried as passengers. Many
of them visit the territory for an in
spection and after buying lands pre-
pare for their families before bringing
them south. The steamer. which has
settled the transporta ton problem for
the Choctawhatchee bay territory, is
doing much to develop that section Of
the country.

west of Minot, and running before a

Washburn, over sixty miles away,
four days after, but they were not all

were pitifully thin and weak.
Sickness not met by simple remedies
was serious thing in those days and
the distances travelled by doctor

Lake was. often sent for, and drive
of ninety or a hundred miles was
nothing unusual. Doctor Ruger was
we'll known and much liked. He was
skillful, thoughtful man, veteran
of the Civil war, and an old Army
doctor, who had been stationed with
the troops at Fort Totten. When the
troops were taken away, because the
Indians no longer needed such careful
watching, he moved over to Devils
Lake, and entered civilian practice. He
has now gone to his reward, but many
old friends miss him.

Debating societies were not enough
for the energetic young people along

was formed that met every Saturday
evening in the home of Miss Birdie
Tiffany. The dues were rs cents, and
everybody was cordially invited to

but the correspondent who supplied
the item, believed the object of the
society was matrimony. No doubt,
for matrimony is the oldest secret So
ciety in the world, and limitations are
still going on.
Then next week somebody rose to
