The Crazy Man Knew Where to Draw

the Line on His Contract.
Orville l.. Klplinger. chaplain Of the
Michigan City Qnd.) reformatory, tells
the following instance of scrupulous
conscience:
Some years ago an insane patient
was given 10 the immodest, not to say
expensive, habit of tearing his clothing
from him and converting jeans, tick
ing. denim or whatever the clothes
were made of into carpet rags.
The prison physician demonstrated
with the shredding nut as follows:
Say, old man, you're certainly max
ing "a lot of unnecessary trouble for
us. We don't think it's fair. Wouldn't
you like to make moneyTl
The insane man emphatically aver
red his willingness TO earn ready cash.
"Wel, I'll tell you what I'll do" re-
sumed the doctor. Il will give you 10
cents for every day you don't tear
your clothes off, eh?"
The offender assented eagerly and
started in to make good. Tuesday his
clothes remained intact; Wednesday
ditto; Friday and Saturday the same.
His reformation was the talk Of the
institution.
But on Sunday morning the gar
ments the crazy man had worn all
week were torn into strips and thrown
to the four winds of his cell.
"What does this mean?" asked the
indignant physician. III thought l had
you hired to keep your clothes on and
be good?'
SWELL" said the prisoner innocently,
'you didn't suppose l was going to
work on Sunday, did you?"-Judge.

GULFPoRT. MISSISSIPPI


 Gulfport is to have muni- cipal park and the plans as outlined for same will make it one of the loveliest spots on the coast. Agitation for it has been going on for sometime and f. nally the city commissioners passed the enabling act. and a board composed of five of our leading citizens has the matter well under way now. Plans for the big boulevard on the beach front that will take the place of the shell road are fast matur- ing, and the right-of-way for the widening of this boulevard has been secured from all the property owners for 2S miles by our county board of supervisors and work will begin on it in June. This will be one of the most beautiful drives in the world and it will attract na- tional attention.
 I note that our truck farmers shipped last month 37 carloads of fresh vegetables to northern markets. however, some of this was shipped to Birmingham. I also noticed that the Truck Farmers association ordered three tons of radish seeds for planting this season.
 The following is a clipping from an interview with MT. Grayson in the Mobile Register. who Is president of the Com mercial club at Biloxi: That the gulf coast section soil is especially adapted to the grow ing of the Satsuma orange and citrus fruits is pointed out by MT. Grayson, adding that the record shown at the Watson place is an enviaple one. This is a grapefruit tree which bore 1200 grapefruit in one year. This famous tree is facing the Gulf Coast Traction line on the beach front, and can be seen from the cars"
 Just think of one grapefruit tree bearing 100 dozen fruits. I will show you this tree any time you can go down with me.
 Now listen. even if times are little bit hard, you can buy 10 acres of my land on four years time without interest or taxes, and a 1O-acre tract will make you independent for life. The land is increasing in value month by month and year by year. and if you will put it in cultivation and set 1t to or anges. grapefruit and oceans in a few years time you will be ab- sclutely independent of disor- ganized industrial conditions. wars or rumors, of war or even bank failures. If you are looking for future independence, health and happiness. you will never regret a trip of investigation to this delightful country. Good schools, good health, good water. good climate, good churches, good people and good land. Where can you equal this and with such climate thrown in?
 expect to go to Gulfport agains about March 12. and if you will make your arrange ments to go with me Tt this time, can show you better than I can tell you. Our coun- try has a great future before it and if you buy there now you will reap a sure reward little bit later in the way of greatly increased prices in lands.
 Ask for my map and book let. A post card or phone call will bring you one by re- turn mail.
