Vera Cruz, Mex.-Just around the
corner from the Church of the Black
Christ is the Klondike saloon.
1 came upon it suddenly of
course, unexpectedly-and was filed

garrish miTTor-F. Zaronio. Clearly
F. Zaronio was the proprietor.
At one of the tables sat two top
sergeants of the United States army,
drinking beer. They were grizzled
veterans, and they were quarreling.
One commended stoutly that Woodrow
Wilson was a bone-head, while the
other insisted, quite vigorously, that
this same Woodrow Wilson was a
elear=headed and far-seeing Ameri-
can statesman and patriot.
l introduced myself and called for
three bottles of ''the coolest beer in

They laughed. They, too, had seen
the sign. They were old "sour-
doughs''- knew Alaska, indeed, from
Seward to Nome. They were in the
''big rush."

Sergeant John F. Murphy, both of the
Fourth Infantry.
We've been pals for 20 years"
said Sergeant Goede, jerking thumb
toward Sergeant Murphy, "and we
always quarrel It's because he was
born in Ireland and in Germany,

81 wouldn't argue with him." Ser
geant Murphy explained, growing,
"only he's so pig-headed and unrea-
sonable."
Then they went at it again, and the
argument lasted until the arrival of
the proprietor of the Kondike saloon.
Certainly he didn't look like a
"sourdough"- tall, thin, grey,
shriveled Spaniard.
We asked him if he was a "sour-
dough-" if he had ever been in the
Kondike, and if so, when? He didn't
know what we were talking about.
The top sergeants knew only Filipino
Spanish, and not much of that. We
gestulated, made signs, and finally
appealed to passersby. One was
found who could interpret.

book said it was very cold there.

WANTS MORE PEOPLE
~, IN THE PEWS

The Miami Herald thoughtfully
discusses the problem of slender
church attendance IN that city and
thinks that if the people won't go
to church the church ought to go
to them. The Herald suggests that
there should be down town place,
in a thcater or any other hall, on
the street or at the beaches, where
conseclated men could get at the
men and women who go to no
church. The services ought to be
simple and thespreaching plain and
on subjects that would attract and
hold" The idea is a good one and
has been adopted in nearly all the
large cities Of the world where
Christianity prevails; and there is
no finer figure in any community
than a consecrated servant of God,
deeply and constantly concerned for
the spiritual welfare of his fellow
man, who goes among the worldlings
and into the pleasure resorts and
even the slums carrying his divine
message with no thought for him
self or his personal gain or advan-
tage.
We see such men, gentle, modest
and unassuming, but utterly cour-
ageous and devoted to their work,
walking the streets of many of our
cities, respected even by the hood
lums and the rowdies, and they are
living, breathing human texts, illus
trating in their own lives the truth
of their teachings. And because
they do, because they practice
what they preach" they carry
positive reforming influence which
the most scholarly churchman,
irreproachable in his rhetoric, but
exclusive in his company, can never
hope to equal.
But here in Lakeland we are not
troubled as they are in Miami with
scant church attendance. Om
churches are well filled, as a rule.
every Sunday, due largely, of course,
to the fact that we have good
preachers. for, say what you please,
the personality Of the man in the
pulpit is very nearly a controlling
factor in determining the size of his |
congregation.

The Telegram has received very
handsomely printed pamphlet of sew
enty-two pages, containing the first
annual report of the State game and
fish department., E. z. jones, COM
missioner. We have gone through
this report with considerable care,
for the department is a new one
only created last year and as it is
intended to conserve an asset of i'm
mense value to the people of Flor
ida-our game and fish resources-
every citizen of the State should feel
lively interest in the subject. The
Telegram has recently published the
figures of the income and outgo of
this department and they show
handsome balance to the credit of
the State. Commissioner Jones
brings genuine enthusiasm, intelli-
gence, energy and conscience to his
work and it seems to us that he has
been successful in high degree. I'm
der his administration the people
are learning that there are game
laws in Florida and that vigilant
game wardens are seeking to en-.
force them. If this vigilance is kept
up we will soon see the last of the
fellow who, despis:ng all legal re-
straint and with no thought of TAX
ing out a hunting license, wanders
through the woods, gun in hand,
wantonly killing whatever he
chooses to, in open or closed sea-
son, and with no more thought of
conserving great resource than
the Wild Indian of primitive days.
Every page Of Mr.. Jones' report is
interesting. and his suggestions u.
further legislation to amend defec-
tive laws and otherwise help to in
crease the efficiency of the depart
ment should be needed by our law
makers. We expect to quote from
this report from time to time, for the
subject is vital one in which ey-
cry citizen of Florida should be in
terested.

AS supplementary to the buy-a-
bale movement, Booker T. Washing
ton, the negro leader, is urging his
people to go in for raising pigs, at
least one pig for each family, which
would make 100000 pigs added to
the annual homegrown meat supply
of the South. An excellent idea,
and it would have even greater ex-
cellence if this raise-a-pig movement
should prove catching and take in
all the people, white and colored.

proud slogan under which to do bat

A Florida exchange tells its read

business and see how many people
we can help bring to Florida. Why
not keep up with war and do the

Special TO Tie Tribune.
ANACONDA, Mont, Feb. 2s,-John
A. MacMaster, pioneer Of Montana,
is dead here, having answered the
final summons on the SEVENTEEN ami
versary of. his birthday. He was close
friend OF the late Marcus DAILY, the
copper king, and for years they pros
pected together throughout California,
Utah and Colorado.
MacMaster met DAILY in California
and as two boys they started out pros
pecting. Neither had any money and
nothing but grubstake. MacMaster
located a large mine in Utah and Daily
was made foreman. his first job of the
kind. Leaving DAILY in charge, Mac
Master went back to Kansas and bought
a farm. But the prospecting fever lured
him TO Dakota in time to be in line
in the gold rush to the Back Hills, and
he located claims and made a number
of large sales to George Hearst He
made several fortunes during his life
time, but sank most Of his money in
new prospect holes,
Meanwhile Marcus DAILY had become a
millionaire. The last thing he did for
his old friend was to stake MacMaster
so he was able to run the Twilight mine
in the Georgetown district. He later
sold it. but at the time of his death
still held several yaIuab ble claims in that
vicinity. Mr. Mac Master leaves q wife
and two daughters in Seattle, g. daugh-
ter in Salt Lake City and son in Colo
rado. A brother is here from Keller,

Not since the vagaries of Becky Sharp
and her big dragoon has girl of the
people achieved such wonderful sue
cess as Minna Otto, the daughter of a
humble washerwoman in central Ger
many.
One OF huge family, Minna found
the trials of homo life more than she

deserted for the gay life of tho night

fine clothes gained her many admirers.
Then she became chorus girl although
there was some talk of a past when
she had lived in Dresden She made a
great success later as barefoot dancer
in n cabaret in Berlin, where she at
tracted the notice OF an elderly French
nobleman, the Marquis de Villevert,
who eventually married her and took
her to live with him in London, where
he died. She is now a beautiful widow
with comfortable fortune.
Before leaving Berlin, however, she
overlooked g little trifle sho might
have settled with her tailor. Like
Becky, she never paid her debts. The
tailor. however, was coDtumacious- is
sued warrants and posted the town
with the photograph of the beautiful

arrested on her way to pay visit TO
